Get my groove back

my photographer friend describes me. He is impressed that I keep my word when I tell him I’ll do something and can admit if I make a mistake. All I can figure is he doesn’t get out much. :)

here in the wilderness keeps my spirits up. He calls just to chat and last night we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day together.

He is charming and fun…just won’t get to attached until I decide if I’m staying or going back to Texas. We do enjoy each others company for now. :)

a man from Texas through e-Harmony here in the wilderness. They have really hit it off. He came here and she’s gone there.

I talked to her today and she asked me how could I settle for the macho mountain men after having been married to a southern gentleman?

That question made me think. I guess I just take each individual at face value. Different strokes for different folks… truth be told my favorite kind of guy is a gentle artistic soul.

I have been feeling blue alone here in the wilderness so I wandered out to meet people.

Now I have 2 new friends. Fun guys, very different and yet both are active sportmen…one seems more seriously interested than the other but is just finishing a divorce.

No rush I have lots of things to do besides find love.

I took valentines cookies to my former workmates at the reservations company, gave candy to my new colleagues at the real estate office, gave a miniture rose bush to my mother, sent McDonalds gift certificates to my babies in Texas and bought myself a single yellow rose with babies breath and a little angel teddy bear hugging the vase…

All in all love comes in many forms…just not romantic…it was a very good day.

I went and had my hair cut and styled. It had grown pretty long here in the wilderness and I had gotten in the habit of pulling it back or just putting it up every morning. Not especially cute.

Now with a little effort it will look bouncy and sassy…just like me. ;)

I have been putting an auburn rinse on my hair. Yesterday for some reason I decided to go back to my natural color (medium golden brown).

Back when we were doing seasons for our natural coloring I was told I was a winter…dark hair, blue eyes, fair skin…instead of enhancing my natural beauty I wanted a complete change. Hence the auburn hair.

Last night at the party one of my friends just went on about my hair and how wonderful it looks! She wanted to know who did it. It looks so natural and beautiful she wants to make an appointment with my colorist. ;)

for the real estate company was very nice. My ex-employers were the hosts and didn’t expect me to show up.

I have more class in my little finger than they do in their whole being. I was gracious and had a delightful time. Lots of laughs and hugs.

Definitely worth going just to see the uneasy looks on their faces.

open house we went by a very cool open house that one of the merchants was having for their customers. The store is a fabulous home interiors shop with things I actually love. Reminded me of home…rustic yet elegant … eclectic.

The photographer at the publishing company where I will be selling ads is related to the owner. It was great fun to go meet her family.

As I was walking around the store a gentleman and his wife were talking in a walkway. He was very polite and let me through. A little later as we were leaving we stopped and talked to them. They are originally from New Jersey. He is a teacher. A very nice couple.

As we were saying good-bye he told me I was a very strikingly beautiful woman. That was a shock! But I definitely left floating on cloud nine.

My friend said why of course you are beautiful. You just don’t know it.

Isn’t it interesting what others see in us?

Its Saturday night and I am home pampering myself enjoying a candlelit bubble bath, a glass of wine and great music.

There was a time not too long ago I would have been in tears at the thought of spending a Saturday night at home alone. I tried to be sad about it tonight…thought I would never be in love again…thought I’d be alone forever…those thoughts seemed so absurd all I could do was giggle and turn the music up! Smooth Jazz 107.5 the Oasis in Dallas streaming to the world…even to me here in the wilderness of Montana… ahhh.
