Yes you are right, but you know what they say, "The memory is the second thing to go"

of course I forgot what the first one was

So Minnesotans, how are you staying warm this winter?

The best way possible of course, unfortunately not as frequently as possible

Staying warm? Let's see...An extra layer, sometimes two. Warming up the car every morning, Hot Chocolate and Baileys! Dreaming of spring...I have no-one to cuddle with (That's another story) so the bed is always cold . I am taking a trip to Texas next week and it's suppossed to be in the 80's!

All in all, I like the winter and, with the exception of going to bed alone, I don't mind the cold and snow...Maybe in March we'll finally get alot of snow!



Oh yeah...This is my 100th post!

Have fun in Texas, and good luck with March.

March will be good. The State High School Hockey Tournament starts on the 8th. Can't wait!
After that I think I'd better start looking for a girlfriend...Aren't you just suppossed to meet someone, and there is some magic between the two of you? I'm not too excited about dating again.

I can sympathize all too well. I'm at this point now where I think I'm finally over the bad relationship from a few years ago, and I think I'm ready to find someone again... and yet... I just can't be bothered. Apathy might be the right word for it.

*Laughing* You captured it perfectly..."I just can't be bothered" really hits the nail on the head! Sounds funny too!

I wonder why the hurt from a bad relationship or divorce stays for soo long? Why is it that life can just...really suck sometimes? You are in a relationship and the other person decides to leave and you find yourself in an almost impossible position that you didn't choose...Are these tests to see what were made of or, are they experiences that enable us to grow?

OK, enough of that...

San Antonio was nice and warm! It was 80's all week and as I took off Friday morning it was just starting to drizzle. I got out of there in the nick of time. Had some work meetings during the day but had the evenings on the riverwalk to play! There is some awesome nightlife there!

I think breakups hit us on so many different levels, it just takes a while to sort them all out and let everything heal again. We can tell ourselves all sorts of things, but until we really start to believe it, it won't do a bit of good.

I'm glad San Antonio was nice!

Took me a LONG time to tell myself I was OK and believe it was true. Even so, I find myself reluctant to start another relationship. I sometimes wonder if I had the love of my life already. How many times in one life do you get feeling that she's the ONE?

I still have hope though...There's someone out there and I'll find her someday!

I'm just not in any hurry at this point. I'm nearing 30, which for me was my personal cut off for children. And since I'm not really all that into having children anyway, there's no rush.

Besides, the attractions I've had over the last year or so have all been so completely absurd or impossible. I sometimes wonder, what's the point, you know?

Heh. Maybe I'm not really ready after all.

I know how you feel. I've had those impossible attractions too which i didn't pursue because I knew it would never work. I think it means that one; You're still alive and, two; You're not willing to settle.

So it goes back to what I said a few posts ago. Isn't it just suppossed to happen? Like in the movie Sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks says "I took her hand to help her out of a car and it was just...magic."

By the way (Which is a very Minnesotan thing to say) having kids is awesome! I have four between 15 and 21 (I started early) and they frustrate you and test your patience, they make you laugh and cry, they give you big hugs, they giggle and smile, they get excited when you tuck them in with a warm blanket from the dryer on a cold night, they become independant and go out on their own, they come back and thank you for being their parent, they love you no matter what...

So, back to the other subject. Do you know Meg Ryan? How about Sandra Bullock? I think I might be able to settle for Sandra Bullock!

And don't feel you have to be on someone else's timetable (one of the problems with my marriage), relax, have fun enjoy life

Hmm, maybe. At least I have lots of silly things to fantasize about at night.

Hell, I could settle for either of them.

And I know what you mean about kids. I've always loved kids, but I've gone back and forth for years as to whether I'd want my own. At this point, I'm so impatient to get on with my own life, I can't imagine starting some little person's life. It's all so immense and overwhelming sometimes.

*laughs* That's what I've been trying to do. It's just hard to get up in the mornings. We should have contraptions like in Wallace & Gromit that just dump us out of bed and into our clothes.

yeah could use one of those

But, there are better ways to be awakened

Ahhh...The fantasy's are there for me as well, and not always at night! Oh my gosh, you could drop Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock into your new story! Now there's a thought...

Hell, I could settle for either of them.

Maybe we could trade off with them! Mmmmmm. Something about the look in Sandra Bullock's eyes when she smiles.

In my opinion you're thinking the right way, and if you're suppossed to have kids you will, in your own time. You'll meet someone, fall in love and the two of you will just know that it's time to have kids. It's partly a decision but a huge part of it is how you both feel.

The State High School Hockey Tournament started today!!! I love watching it because these kids are here to play because they love the game!

The High School hockey tournament is over...I watched eight games of hockey the past few days! They were awesome...There was a great tribute to the 1956 Olympic hockey team, who beat Canada to win a silver medal. Six members of the team who are from MN were there for the ceremony. These guys are in their seventies and were excited and humbled by the standing ovation they received. Those are some real men of character and, they are great role models. I wish I could have been there in person to see that!

Doc, are you looking forward to the 5 - 10 inches of snow tonight?

Dizzy, how are things out east?

Are all you Midwesterners looking forward to spring? What are your plans?

That sounds like an excellent week of hockey to me.

Things are very spring-like here today. 50 degrees and raining.

50 deg and raining sounds good to me right now...We got snow last night and this morning. Drove all the way to work only to be released at 9:00 so I'm back home now with the house all to myself!

Whoo Hoo!

I am envious. Green with envy, in fact.
