Blessed.

I am one of those people who HATES to hear about other people being in love.  So, of course, I am now going to write and tell you all about how BLESSED I have been to have this AMAZING man, and how lucky we are to have become what we now are.  I can not explain how or why it has happened, but it has, and here we are.  Talking about babies, and making plans for him to meet my family in Miami over Christmas.  This is the kind of shit that makes me want to puke when other people do it.  How can this be me?

Who cares about the HOW??  I am just happy it happened.

I am truly feeling blessed right now.  And the reason is Steve Hernandez.

Friendships, Family and Follies...

OK, OK I get it, I can be a selfish C U Next Tuesday sometimes.  But, so, I believe, can most of the rest of the human race (and if you haven't tried being selfish and treating yourself like the Queen or King you are, I heartily suggest it!) What I don't get, however, is how someone who has known me for the better part of a decade could possibly be surprised by this fact.  Particularly when the current state of events is not particularly selfish, nor is it particularly bitchy on my part.

I have a friend, however, who seems to think that because I am in a relationship, and didn't call him for a few days, that it is a sign of friendship Armageddon. Apparently, because I had a busy weekend filled with wonderful events, family I haven't seen since December, and an all too brief visit from a GREAT friend from Miami on Monday, I am a selfish prick for not calling someone back before Wednesday when I SAW him on Saturday night.  I don't even call my Mom THAT often (and believe you me, I call my Mom pretty often!)

Yes, I am a bit preoccupied with the relationship I am in, but it is still new and exciting and fun, and honestly, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT???  I mean, seriously, who wouldn't be immersing him or herself in something that is new and positive and good in their life?  Yes, some things that I normally would be more responsive to have slowed down a bit, but that would be true in any such circumstance.  On the other hand, aren't my current responses normal, when the life changes I have experienced recently are taken into account?

Dear, dear readers, please let me know what you think!
