Hard to believe its been almost a year....

I was on facebook tonight and saw on my "about me" that said go see my blog...and I realized I hadn't looked at my blog in forever!  I thought it was interesting to see my last post about relationships.

It's been a heck of a year for me,  Bryan and I recently broke up....guess what??  I still think all men cheat!  LOL   A long distance relationship is really hard and super hard if you're not being honest with each other about everything.   Its funny because it's like I have been single the whole time but the heartache is like we were together the whole time.   I have learned a lot about loneliness and the beauty and joy of just being with myself.  It has been a very interesting and educational few years when it comes to my personal growth.

I have also taken a real journey with my health!   We believe we may have found out the culprit - vitamin/mineral deficiency in combination with a weird blood disorder.   My red blood cells are really tiny and i have less of them...this means I don't get the same level of oxygenation and both of these things can cause:

  • fatigue
  • weakness
  • abdominal swelling
  • heart palpitations
  • shortness of breath
  • pale skin
  • tummy troubles
  • nerve problems like numbness and tingling
  • vision loss
  • memory loss
  • depression
  • headaches
  • dizziness/ being lightheaded
  • brittle nails
  • irritability
  • issues losing weight
Kind of sounds like the last 20 years of my life huh?  It could also be what caused the inter-cranial hypertension - but then anything could have caused that since no one really knows HAHAH.  It is also possible that the vitamin regime could help the blood disorder by plumping up my skinny little blood cells, so that could go away/make it less of an issue.

All this to say....I am on a really exciting path again.   I am really trying to be in tune to myself and my health and my heart.   I am trying to eat well and make good choices... I am trying to move more and in fun ways.   I am trying to be open to life and whatever adventure comes along.

I have lost a dress size, several inches, and 18 pounds so far this year.  I have started online dating again (which is frightening and a little gross to be honest) and I am looking forward to my big trip this summer.  I have a permanent position finally and I am loving my job.  

Its funny how life can feel awesome and sucky at the same time :).  I am hoping to write more so look forward to some product reviews, photography and travel news!

Continued adventures in dating.....

Good Morning readers! All three of you! I know you are chomping at the bit to hear all about my wild and crazy adventures in babysitting uh online dating. Well for the most part it seems to be a wash out.   I will talk with some interesting guys and it seems good and then POOOOFF...they are gone.   I suspect its because i don't jump on the hey come F^&* me train fast enough?   Either that or my busy schedule doesn't work for them.   For the most part thought its just dudes looking for nookie! Don't get me wrong, it hasn't all been bad, I have talked to some really nice guys but so far it hasn't turned in to much.   But let me tell you about one experience I had last night. I have seen this guys profile on a couple of different sites - he uses the same three lame pictures which were taken one right after the other and then describes how amazing he is in the context of the stuff he has and what he has accomplished.  He is kind of cute.. i guess...

So excited.....last night I got home from my date (more on that later) and there was a package waiting for me....I almost peed my pants.   That could have been from the coffee and large water I drank and then held for two hours and then rode the bus home and then walked to my house basically with my legs crossed....but maybe it was because there was a package.   We may never know.....I digress!

Today we slept in and went down for a lovely breakfast and then got ready to go and headed from our hotl down to the waterfront. we walked to the olympic park and then back up to the pier....then we stopped for a lovely peppermint twist mocha at starbucks! we continued on down the waterfront and decided to go to the aquarium.....we got a pic of nemo and dorie! then we went for a beer and grabbed a bus back to our hotel. We got ready for our dinner and got a cab to take us to Cafe Campagne. we had an amazing three course dinner with lovely wine pairings and a lovely chocolate Digestif. Chris wanted to go for another walk.....so we headed down to the park, once there he looked me ddep in the eyes and told me how much he loved me....then he dropped to one knee and produced the lovely mahogany ring box....he asked me if i would make him the happiest man on earth and be his wife. you know me....
