Just put my user name from here in the search bar on FB. I am way too easy to find. And my DB Alt friends almost all have DB in their name.
Sounds like you are going to need sunscreen! I dress in layers when I come back here from the mainland. I have sandals in my carry-on. It is like a strip-tease, I start taking off layers. My switch to my sandals from shoes usually occurs somewhere between disembarking and the baggage claim!
Oh yes, my last name starts with a P.

I don't know why but today was one of those days, I had men falling over themselves to fix things for me, computer lines, messed up desks, interns being assigned. And one cutie-pie asked me where were my glasses. (I told him they wee not working today.) They weren't, still aren't. It was just a day when people seemed tuned to my needs.
Then when I walked out to my car one of my co-workers, a 29 year old sweetie expressed her concerns that she would never find someone to trust, to love. And I told her she had to trust, and she might get hurt. And I also told her that dating wasn't permanent. She could meet people and not have to keep seeing them. I sense she has been hurt before.
She has a rockin' body. I have worked with her for 6 months and have seen her be nothing but sweet, kind, smart. She seems like a person who should be a wife, mommy. Anyway, our parking lot talk made me sad. Who knows why. Maybe I just want a happy ending for us all.
I did go to the mall before I came home. I practiced a little retail therapy. I love a good coupon.
Now I will practice a little meditation. My anxiety level is way too high. I think the end of my alone time with my X off island is bothering me.
Aloha Friends!

Missed the last post. Will try to find & add you today. Leaving for New Years Eve in Toronto then flying to Lihue tomm. Very excited now & got my toesies done yesterday with Ashley.
Hope to meet you - do you always work weekdays or does it vary?
I truly believe that you meet the right person when you least expect it. And speaking of expectations - always best to keep them low & be surprised. Worked for me. Enjoy your time of being a magnet!
Barb, Do a google of her poster's name. You will find her there and then you can go to FB to locate her.
Enjoy your trip.
Aloha and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
And when you google my name and find those old blogs I wrote don't laugh too hard.
As 2014 starts up with a bang I am thinking about 2 years ago on New Years Day when my then H made his 6th turn back to me from OW. (I sure am a dense one.) And how hopeful and how right it felt that he would finally see the light and "Pick" me over the pathetic OW. Hard to compete with her brand of crazy though. And her fresh out of the psych ward vulnerability must have added to his sense needing to rescue her. I still remember how quickly he went from likening her to a rabbit stewer to just being temperamental. And that was a big turning point for me.
I sure was worn out by his to and fro game. So I bowed out.
So I lost the contest. She won the big prize. And I entered into a land of nevers. I never thought I'd be divorced. I never thought I would go back to work full-time. I never thought I would end up working in HR. I never thought I would fingerprint people and make ID badges and smart cards.
I love my job, my co-workers, my feeling of belonging. Many people early on, when I first started posting, told me to get a job. And yes, that was excellent advice. My job might be the best thing ever for me. It sure cuts into my gym time, but keeping busy is way better than staring at the ceiling and wondering "WHY?"
The correct answer is: "It just doesn't matter." You cannot unring a bell. So just keep moving along. I hope to get some sleep eventually. The fireworks have slowed down a little.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year! You've come a long, long way. I can relate to so much if what you wrote. I'm 10 years ahead of you -my sign up date is wrong here. I changed names twice before (long story) - arrived at the hoard Nov 01. And a month later my ex left OW & came back to me for Christmas though he never made it past Dec 23. It was heartbreaking for the kids & I. But that's a prize I was never meant to have & she deserves him. I got a gift in the one I'm intended to be with. I hope you can meet him.
We fly to Kaui today then to Oahu on Mon. Ashley joins us the weekend after - late Sat night. Maybe we could see you sometime on Mon, Jan 13 unless you are working. We could also make it the day prior. Let me know - we don't have a lot of plans but picked those days so Ashley could come too.
2014 is a fresh start - an unwrapped gift. Hope it is your best evebarb
