Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. - Rabindranath Tagore

Myrrh -- eek! I was worried that you might feel that way...PLEASE don't! While I was surprised by how hard they hit, I'm not unfamiliar with the feelings...as I mentioned in some of the followup posts, I know it was a combo of many, many factors and not related to our "discussion" at all.

Posting from school today (lunch break). Our presentation is done and it went GREAT -- the teacher said "excellent" afterwards like he was inventing the word and pardon me for bragging but one of my classmates approached me afterwards and said that he had to tell me that I was an excellent presenter and the best of the day. I'm gonna have to stick a pin in my head to get through the classroom door later!
Went out with h last night for drinks and food. He had class first and I think he was brain tired. I have to say without reservation that h's reaction/rebounding from my weirdness the other night has been EXTRAORDINARY -- OR, maybe it's just his usual level of awesomeness that I need to remind myself of, be grateful for, etc.
One very interesting thing from last night was that h talked a bit about some of the people in his classes that he's been interacting with -- mentioned three women in particular, told me their names, a bit about what they talked about, even mentioned that he had emailed one of them his class notes. This is SUCH a BIG deal to me -- his openness and sharing with me...and I'm realizing that taking the time to listen openly, react positively, etc fosters that communication even more.

Hey Minnie! Thanks for the visit! I did have a very nice weekend -- I've got a couple more deliverables for school due this week and next and then I am DONE! Yahoo!
Friday I got out of class quite early. I can't remember what we did that night...I think we got food in and watched the sox game?
Saturday we went into town early because I had an appointment. we walked around, got lunch and then went to see the sox play (they lost -- it was brutal!). we went to see "dodgeball" that night (ugh -- don't bother!). Sunday we had a relaxing day and then went to h's baseball game. Last night we had BBQ and watched "6 feet under". Lots of food and hanging out!
I was totally dreading coming back to work today -- I NEED a new job! h was also off to work this AM -- got a great hug and kiss goodbye plus a sweet nothin' whispered in my ear! then...early this AM, h calls and asks if I can take a few days off towards the end of July -- sounds like the man has a plan! I like a surprise plan!
So that's my story!
