You can't meet Mr/Ms wonderful anywhere----Grocery store, laundry mat, Jiffy Lube, It could be a set up by a
friend.....and yes, It could be at a meat market type bar, or online. These things happen. It's the willingness to
ALLOW it to happen with out any kind of stigma, and the maturity to deal with Distance, and willingness to love
someone enough to completely change your life for them, and how mauch they are willing to bend in such a
relationship. It has happened to people. Long distance (weather they met online, or while on abusiness trip or what
have you) things can work if there is the patience to wait and to love fully. But...Sadly, a majority of them don't work
because the people involved do not have the patience and the maturity to deal with the circumstances outlined above.

So, yes. I wait, and I hope...........

whoooooHoo! yup---This IS ME!

The Emode personality test! Thank you, Alice for giving me that link.

Hey, Lori, you're a Shark!

You've got a robust love of life and a killer
instinct. Your mantra: Work hard, play hard.
You own a garage-full of sports gear. You talk
on your cell phone in restaurants, and laugh
too loud. Wherever you go, everyone thinks
you're important. You own stock in everything.
You wear Prada to the gym and drink designer
water. Dull parties make you weep. You hate
rules, and don't plan on getting old.

You think you may be a genius. You tell a great
joke. You're extroverted and love being in the
spotlight. People admire your good looks and
personality, and they're jealous of your
wardrobe. You're flexible and friendly, and on
the rare chance that you're feeling down, you
can always cheer yourself up with a new pair
of shoes.

You should run for president (if only you didn't
have that criminal record ...). You've got
enough charisma and style to move mountains.
And you're a great self-starter and a lethal flirt.
You're innovative and smart, and people
respect you. Except when you don't get your
way and you lose your temper — then
everyone just thinks you're a brat.

Saturday Night
It was snowing...snowing hard here by the time I left work. All weekend long I had been working with Brett. Earlier on Saturday, I had consulted my Chinese Fortune sticks which had told me that my soulmate would be coming soon. I just wish I believed in that Crap.
Anyway, I was getting ready to go to a Friends house for a 'going away' party Saturday evening. She had accepted a job offer in Denver, and would be leaving Wednesday. I wanted to Say goodbye.
Brett is a bit of an Anti social. I suppose it is his Girlfriend that makes him this way, since he is always saying that he has to be home at a certain time, and most of his social behaviour is talking to me late at night, after the Bar Closes. She has stolen his life, and whatever is left of his personality, he lets me see just a little.....and for that I am eternally greatful.
Anyway, I was getting ready to leave, when he announced, out of the blue, that he was going to go, too. I'm almost SURE my eyes lit up with joy, for I couldn't stop it. Too see him in a Non work realted social situation is simply amazing.
Well, My friend happens to live down the street from my house, so It is on the way home. Ididn't know how bad the snow was, but...when we all walked outside ( I was driving three other people) it was pretty bad.
he still agreed to follow me.
It took 30 minutes to drive to my nieghborhood. This drive is usually accomplished in 10 minutes, in non bad weather situations. He was still behind me when we parked.
When he walked in, My friend just looked at me and said, "gee! Hello Brett!" Then pulled me aside, and I said, 'Isn't that sweet thathe came to bid you goodbye..."
she replied, "No, dork butt, he came because you where going!"
and It was then I realized, that he had driven all those miles out of his way to be with me? for ten extra minutes? in a snow storm? Possible? Could it be?
Well, I had to leave soon after arriving, and when i got into my car, I realized that it was near impossible for me to Drive up the hill with my crummy tires. I was about to walk home. He was walking out...behind me.
"I can give you a ride" I heard him say.
I accepted (did you think I wouldn't?)
and I sat in his car while he drove me home, a block away. and while I sat in his car, in front of my house, he was looking at me. and for a split second, I could have sworn it was a loving gaze. But, perhaps, that was just my hopes. I just wanted to touch him. Just for a moment.
I thanked him and gave him a long hug....and breathed in deeply. I love his scent. No cologne....just him.....a little like fabric softener mixed with the scent of his leather jacket. I love that scent......I breathed it in as his arms were around me. I wanted it to fall asleep that night with his scent still lingering....
I only have those moments. I cherish them.
