The Little Guy




I can't believe he's five months old. JJ is ready to rock and roll in his bouncy seat. He's holding his head up and got the "I just want to go" pose ready for that moment.

Here are some pics from our babysitting adventure a couple weeks ago...

Enjoy

Calming Down

Over the past three months I have been in a tizzy about soeing some wild oats. I even had someone interested in being the soeie.

Anyway, Gordy and I talked about it three weeks ago. I finally got up the courage to tell him what I was feeling. Needless to say, he was shocked.

I let it all out, held nothing back and felt a wave of relief wash over me when it was done.

He had many questions, specifically about the soeie, and he got truthful answers. We had kissed but it never went any further than that.

After spending an entire weekend discussing this situation, we both realized that we had drifted apart and needed to come back together.

I admit that he was driving me nuts. I knew I was loved, but he had a strange way of showing it. He wasn't very communicative about certain things, especially about his job and the kids.

I on the other hand wasn't showing him the love and respect that he needed.

I feel incredibly sorry for what I almost did to our marriage and I am working on getting his trust back - this will take a long time. I am also working on my self esteem - which has been gone for awhile.

The hardest part of this thing is seeing the soeie a couple times a week at work. It's not like he works for the same company, but he is in the same building. When I see him, my stomach no longer flutters, but I still have this need to be his friend. I know it sounds really strange, but I feel like I will always have this connection with him even though nothing more than a kiss happened.

When I talked to Gordy about the soeie, he was shocked that I would give everything up for a man that I could never see myself with. Yeah, strange. This guy is really nice, but he is so not my type. He is very opinionated about people that are gay or lesbian - how can they be like that, it's just wrong. He is also very insecure with himself. I don't think that he can live without a woman in his life. It doesn't matter if they don't get along - he wants to know that there is someone there when he gets home. Me, I like my independence. I can be by myself if I have to be, it's not the end of the world to be alone.

Oh well, at least I came to my senses, calmed down and am getting on with life. I look forward to going home and spending time with Gordy. It's been awhile since I have felt that way.

Gotta run, I have someone to meet at home :)

Outdone by a Pro

I was sitting at my desk today when Trevor came over and said "Bill Penberthy is coming to the office tomorrow to take the executives photo's." I must have had a perplexed look on my face.

I asked "why?"

T, "We did some work for him and he was extremely happy. Because of this he went on the web site and thought our exec pictures needed redone." I'm sure there was more to the sentence, but this is what I heard

This is where I felt like I had been kicked. I took the exec pictures and I thought I did a half way decent job with my $200 digital camera. Don't ya think

Oh well, so the best photographer, who I idolized as a kid, is coming to the office tomorrow. I guess it isn't so bad, it could be worse. Oh heck, I'll enjoy it as much as the exec's.

I guess if you have to be outdone, it might as well be with the local professional.
