Enough stories to last all night, about the trials and tribulations of finding Mr Right. Finding a good man. Here's to the liars and the cheaters and the cold mistreaters, to the momma's boys who can't make a stand, here's to the superficial players, the "I love you" soon sayers, if you hear me girls, raise your hand, let's have a toast, here's to finding a good man....

I heard this song earlier, and it struck me- it is Cinco De Mayo, after all, and Corona is my favorite beer, and I finally have found a good man. I still love reading everyone's posts about their searches, though, and so here's a virtual toast to all of us.

My father came home from the hospital this week, and is doing as well as can be expected. There will still be a lot of appointments, and it's definitely a lifestyle change for him, but he's alive.

Work is still going fairly well- still working massive amounts of hours, and there's really no end in sight. I will be signing up for another week of vacation soon, since I know I'll need it by the time it gets here, and it will give me something to look forward to.

funnyguy is still completely wonderful. The kids love him- I love him. It's that simple and that complicated. He spent some time with just the kids- I had a rental car last week while mine was being fixed, and he picked the kids up from daycare on his way to come get me from work. The next day he picked them up and they met me at my parents' where we had dinner and hung out for a while.

He's constantly doing little things to help me out. At first I would worry that I would become too accustomed to all of the spoiling, and then when he left, miss it even more. Now I realize that my real worry should be taking advantage of his thoughtfulness and driving him away. I am always extremely appreciative for everything he does, but I don't ever want to start taking it or him for granted.

I still don't know where this relationship is headed, and that's still okay for me. We've mentioned things in a future tense without discussing the future- little things like "in ten years I'll be all wrinkly and gray" or other little things. He brings these up as much as I do, so I don't worry about freaking him out. Not being specific and pushing for more makes this the easiest, most satisfying relationship I've ever been in.

I think a huge part of it too is that I don't wonder with him. He's sweet and kind and caring and thoughtful, and definitely into me. I don't have to wonder what he's thinking or if he means it- he says what he means, does what he says he will, and his actions speak louder than a million words could. He still offers the words, but with him, I don't HAVE to have them. He's still fun to be around, and we don't seem to be able to get enough of each other still- and not just physically.

I like his family, he likes mine and my friends, and they like him. We met with a couple of my couple friends last night, and brown eyed girl said at one point, "We can't find anything wrong with him- you better keep him" This was after the princess bypassed me to ask him to pick her up... and he did, gladly.

So, there's my update- still working, my parents are good, funnyguy and I still going strong.

Moody, happy to simply be

Oh good heavens, I'm certainly not planning on becoming pregnant.

I will see about getting some Retin-A, it sounds like just the ticket for me.

I will also invest in some sunblock, and use it religiously. It finally looks like spring out here, and that means lots of time outside for me- well, as much time as possible, anyhow.
