Long post...read at your own will, lol!


I was getting a kick out of reading the "why I don't have a boyfriend" quiz results.

Aw pacific - that is a sweet story! You must see so many interesting stories with all of the patients you talk to. I am glad to hear that things are going better for you - maybe it was the pasta and Italian scenery!

Yes! So I think that we need to schedule a theraputic vacation to Europe every year, just to be sure...LOL!!!


BTW I am back in Oncology now...I forgot to write that. I missed it sooo much and the incredible patients I meet. I was lucky that my company opened up a new position for me, one where I can advance and still be where I want, back in Oncology department :O)

That is a great story and I am so glad you guys are happy. There are trials for all of us of course but thats life and if you can overcome them together, you'll be stronger than ever IMO.
I had taken a break from dating when I met my bf and wasnt really looking. I was seeing a therapist about guy issues and she advised me to spend more time with the other males in my life and make peace with them which I did. It clarified what I was really looking for in a partner and calmed me down because I realized I had loving male influences all around me and that the right one would be worth the wait.
I met my bf at the Mac store where we were both buying a new macbook. We met there the first day I came and the salesguy spoke to both of us with the same pitch. We chatted about how mac was supposed to change our artistic lives and laughed a lot. I liked him and we had kind of an instant click to us but I am a bit shy and he was straight out of a break up. We proceeded to run into each other 4 more times in the store as we both had training sessions on them, bought printers, and computer insurance. Neither of us could buy everything at once since we are both self employed but it still struck us as more and more funny that we kept seeing each other. It seemed like everytime I rounded the corner he was a few minutes behind me or already at the store. My father was the one who finally told me to do something about it since he was being really nice and neither one of us knew whether he was really interested in me but the truth was I just really liked him. I figured that connection was hard to find in a friend let alone anything else and since I dont run across it very often I should do something about it but it was scary. I went in on the fourth time we saw each other determined to ask him to coffee if we met again and I had made this decision that I wasnt going to be scared of life or the people it brings me. it felt major to me and then to my surprise he wasnt there for the first time in weeks. As I walked to my car I had this talk with myself where I told myself this is what you get from being fearful, fate is only so kind, learn your lessons. I started driving home, went to turn on the main highway and almost ran him over. He was crossing the street and I had to swerve to avoid him. I think my heart almost stopped and I couldnt pull over because there is no shoulder so I had to just keep driving with my heart pounding and I called my Dad and we cracked up. I had to figure someone was trying to tell me something. The next week was my last training session scheduled so I went in, and within minutes he showed up and gave me this look like "you again?"
I stood in line for the guy to help me and we chatted. and chatted. Finally I said, "Geez am I holding you up. YOu were probably finished here" and he said" I have been done for at least twenty minutes" and smiled at me. So I asked him to lunch and the rest is history.
I am so glad I didnt need to hospitalize him to get his number from insurance or something!

I love your story! It made me laugh and smile! It is very endearing, and yes..somehow fate seems to be involved! This a vary moving thing you wrote:


this is what you get from being fearful, fate is only so kind, learn your lessons.


Lesson well learned. It says so much. Take life by the you-know-wahts- go for it and live, love and learn! I love how fate gave you another chance....almost running him over. OMG! Was that a wake up call to do something or what, lol!


Great stroy...thanks for writing it!!
