Heyyy my Lounge Ladies!!! haha
How's everyone doing?
I have been totally MIA and I apologize, but I'm still alive and well (!) and wanted to drop in and say hi!
I've made a lot of changes in my life in the past several months. My trip to Europe was pretty good for the most part, barring some petty family drama. I did a TON on my own this time - did a guided tour in Italy, visited a historical site that is very important to me there and went to Paris AND London all by myself!! I loved the alone time, hehe.
Ok, next... I think I mentioned a while back (maybe in the confessions thread?) that I had made a major decision and was overjoyed about it. It sounded a little random but I wasn't ready to talk about it. But now I am :) I'm becoming a Jew. A liberal Jew! And I've met such amazing people and have become involved in so many different things. I feel fulfilled and HAPPY!!!
Next... I have put myself back in the dating pool!!! haha... insane. I had a date yesterday and it actually went WELL!! He was respectful, mature, a good listener and suggested (twice) that we see a movie together sometime soon, so we'll see what happens... I'd definitely say yes to a 2nd date with him. Eeek! :) I wasn't even nervous at all, I was just curious! I'm so amazed at how far I've come when it comes to dating... I take things much more in stride now and don't panic. It was a good date with great company. We were both smiling and laughing a lot and we have a lot of values and interests in common. I have a feeling he will ask me out again (formally) but even if he doesn't, I am kind of proud of myself for making the effort at giving him a chance (I almost slipped into the habit of writing him off for no reason out of fear, but I stopped myself and went!!!).
So that's an update for now. I hope you're all well! I miss you! :)
