Fabulously Challenged
With Marianne in Italy this month, I’ve noticed we have not been doing our usual point tallying on Mondays. Right off the bat, I’ll be honest, I am pretty sure I got close to zero points for last week. My professional life is dizzying these days, and I don’t even have time to do my laundry. This is the first time I’ve been home in 15 hours. I probably smell bad, too.
As for my love life, it’s pitiful. About a month ago I did meet a seemingly nice guy. Shockingly, (this is for you David) I met him AT A BAR!!!! Two weeks in a row I tried my best to flirt with him, although he seems like a quiet type. So of course, there has to be a catch... because, let’s face it, in my life there always is. Ta-Da!!! He’s being deployed to Iraq in a few months... and even better... leaving for California in a few weeks... Oh yes, and right now he’s not even in this state. So any chances of getting to know him are not looking good.
In other developments, a new crush is in the picture. He’s a nice guy and cute in an 80s Patrick Dempsey sort of way. I love those guys. The catch for this one... I can’t get involved with this young man for a very good reason. He’s not married, and I don’t think he has a girlfriend, but I’d be breaking one of my personal boundaries by dating him. I have no idea if he’s a Christian, either. I’m definitely feeling sorry for myself these days.
The universe is not in my galaxy, the stars are not aligned. If I opened a fortune cookie it would read "Get thee to a convent now!" I am not meant to have a date, a boyfriend, or a husband. I would like to know what God has in store for me. Cats?

Today I was talking to my sister about meeting incredible non-Christian men, and I said to her "Why is God tempting me?!?!" but heck, maybe I could stand to go through a test or two to prove my patience. Of course, it'd be a whole heckuva lot easier if I had any patience. ;)
I haven't updated my spreadsheet this week, but I'm rackin in the points, none for dates, but lots for making new friends, so I guess that's something. Trying to focus on counting the blessings, even when the loneliness gets so bad it phsyically hurts.
