Date Night at the MFA

I have indeed been a busy social butterfly and having a great time. I met someone new and we have been having a great time getting to know each other. On a recent date, I actually managed to utter probably the most random question I have ever asked a date. The question being "Do you want to see the mummy's head?" We were at an exhibit at the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts) so it wasn't all together random but indeed not anything I have ever asked a date. His enthusiasm showed that the question was well received!

It's been fun sharing my world and learning about his. It's sad that both of us come to each other after being treated badly by the last people in our lives. For me I am still angry at myself for allowing a boy to treat me in such a disrespectful manner. The lying, the lack of maturity, the indecision and taking me for granted are something I will never allow to happen again. Luckily while those have left their mark, things between us are very positive. And go a long way to making the bad way each of us had been treated pale in comparison to what a good time we've been having.

Aquageddon

It was quite the week and weekend. Cambridge Science week, oil spill in the Gulf, car bomb in Times Square, unseasonably warm weather which made it feel like July instead of May, a new person in my life, and friends moving out of state. Of course this all pales against Aquageddon, which has to be the most awkward word ever. Just trying to pronounce it is like having a mouth full of marbles. The water main break that caused chaos for many communities was interesting to say the least. It made eating out a bit of challenge but was certainly not in evidence when I took this picture Friday night. I love walking over the Charles from Cambridge to Boston and the weather was perfect to do just that.

With all this going on, I managed to break a personal record by having three dates in the weekend. The record was the fact it was three dates with the same person. Another first was getting flowers on our first date. The special part was that he had the flowers delivered to the restaurant so when we walked in there they were! It was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful. He is someone who was entirely unexpected but so very much fun. Dinners, desserts, flowers, and a movie I have been dying to see kept me entertained and up way past my bedtime. It was so nice to laugh and get to know someone new. It actually feels odd not having a date with him tonight but a busy girl needs some time to herself :-) And of course date #4 is already scheduled.

On the home front, my home office renovation is in full swing. I adore my new desk and can't wait for the file cabinet to arrive (especially since I got rid of the old file cabinet last week). I have definitely taken to doing a huge Spring cleaning and purge and the efforts are starting to pay off. Life is indeed good :-)
