It's been a long time since last I wrote... a lot has happened in the last few months..

About the move to Tejas.. it is so Flipping HOT here! I'm enjoying the heat while by the pool and when I'm rollerbladin, but it's a bit too hot for tennis at the moment! What else bout Tejas? The Mexican food and margaritas are to die for!! They sure didn't have much of that up there in Connecticut! People up there kept tellin me where the good Mexican food was, and it was all !!

Bout the new Job:
Workin in the pediatric cardiovascular intensive care unit is so incredibly hard and rewarding at the same time... I thought I knew something when I left the ole PICU up there in CT, but it is NOTHING compared to this! Woo.. kids on Berlin hearts, ECMO, LVADs, BIVADS, heart transplants, etc.. it is all a bit overwhelming, but I think it will be amazing once I've really gotten into it. I'll give it at least a year before I make up my mind for sure about staying. It took me that long to get used to the PICU in CT, so I should at least give it that..

Bout Men:
Well there are a few updates there. My husband (soon to be ex) has put a bid in on a house and will most likely be moving out at the beginning of August. It's both a relief and a bit scary. We've been together now for going on nine years. It's also a bit strange cause we seem to be getting along better now that he's accepted the fact that we make better friends than we do husband and wife.

My friend across the wide ocean: Well, it seems to me that men have a very special kind of radar. The minute I tell myself that I'm not going to be so eager to return his infrequent emails (as he takes so long to return mine) and make myself not so available, the dude calls me and all those feelings come flooding back in. I swear they must have radar that alerts them to the fact that you're about to move on, so they blip back on the screen to make their presence known. The cool thing is that we've been talking about either me going to visit him and take a little cruise over to Copenhagen, or he'll come to visit here. I'm both excited and a bit scared about the possiblities..... we'll see. All I know is that I seem to fall all over again when I hear his voice. Don't even ask what happens internally when I see him and get to look into his eyes... woo baby!!

About transportation:
I bought myself a new ride. It's a 2003 hard top convertible Mercedes. Oh my freaking goodness!!! It is like the hottest little car. I've named her Maggie. I think I truly know what love feels like now... *purr* Open highway and a long stretch of pavement + me and Maggie = loooove..

Tis all good...
