I know this is probably going to come as a surprise to a lot of you, but Ricky & I have parted ways romantically. For the past few months, it had become increasingly clear that we weren't a good match for the long-term. If anyone wants more details, feel free to e-mail me at stacey22478@hotmail.com (there were a LOT of little things and a couple of big things that added up). But for now, all I really want to say is that it wasn't working. I started to realize that I wasn't as happy as I was early on in the relationship. I didn't post about it much here because I didn't want to take a chance that he'd come across it somehow.

But the good news is that it was pretty much mutual and we agreed that we were better off as friends. So we're going to keep in touch. We still have to get together to give eachother our things back, which will be sometime this week.

One kind of big thing is that I've been getting increasingly involved with the dance team, so just about every weekend, I'm out doing demos with my dance team members. And I'm having SUCH a good time. But it was getting to the point where I was hardly seeing him.

Anyway, I won't take up too much board space with details. Like I said, if you want "dirt" (lol), shoot me an e-mail. :)

Stacey,

I am sorry to hear that you and Ricky decided to part ways. Even if it is a mutual agreement, it's still never easy. I hope that you are handling it OK.

If you want to talk, email me through my profile.

Take care,

Jules

Stacey,

>Almost TOO okay! LOL :)

That's what I thought. I wasn't sure if I should say sorry or congratulations. Euphoria after a break-up is usually a strong indicator that the relationship just wasn’t right. If you are feeling OK now then you made the right decision even if you do feel the pangs of loneliness later on. I don’t think you will be single for long you boot scootin' boogie chick!

LOL Thank you shy & hal. :) I really am okay and not doing the "strong face" thing. If I was feeling lousy, I'd totally tell you guys. I'm sure I'll feel lousy one of these days. Hehehe I dunno, though, I'm really having a good time flirtin' with the boys at the club! ;)
