Day #2 apart from Mr. Blue Eyes and I’m still standing! 🙂
While he was here, I ended up going to bed at 9:30 most nights because that’s when he would fall asleep and I wanted to be with him. So out of habit last night I went to bed at 9:30. Without him there …

Today was the day – after a beautiful month together, Mr. Blue Eyes had to get on his chariot and begin winging his way home to the Southwest. It would be fair to say that a large number of tears were shed this morning.
But that’s not the whole story. I don’t want to …

I’ve gotten emails from people over the last days asking if everything is all right. Yes, everything is fine and I am grateful for your concern.
Mr. Blue Eyes has been here with me for the past month and he is in the final days of his visit, so I am spending every available moment …

Today I had just about the most perfect Sunday I can imagine with MBE. 🙂 He’s been here for three weeks with one more week to go and I’m trying to stay present and savor every moment – knowing there will be many times in the weeks and months to come when I will wish …

MBE and I just returned from a long weekend on the Maine coast. It was pretty perfect. 🙂
I have two favorite parts of our time together – our really intellectual conversations and how much we make each other laugh.
Tonight, MBE and I were in the grocery store together and we were laughing like …

Tonight I was reminded of one of the phone conversations in which I knew that MBE and I were a good match. Wait, did I just say good? That doesn’t really cover it appropriately.
One night, very early in our phone courtship, we were talking late into the night about…something…I have no idea what. I …
