A Little Sugar with my Coffee

Well, for all you folks that don't know, which shouldn't be many. I quit Target. It simply wasn't going to work out. Time is very precious and valuable and they simply weren't important enough for me to waste my time there. So saying goodbye wasn't too difficult.

And since I've had a little more time...a little. I've brought my hours at Caribou back up to 38/40 a week. (Overtime is against the rules.) And I've continued to "Nanny". I have two marvelous families that I help out. Each family has 3 kids. Very different families, but a ton of fun. I spent a few days with the A's in early October, and I'll be spending 8 days with the W's starting Friday. And still working my beautiful 40 hours.

And with the spare time after that, I've been spending numerous hours with... you guessed it, Joe.



It's been a little over a month now and he STILL opens my car door. I didn't even have to warn him that my mom looks out the windom to see if the guy opens the car door. He just automatically did it the first time and hasn't stopped.

Whenever I'd go out with a guy prior, mom would always ask afterwards whether he opened the car door or not. Most of the time... he didn't.

Joe does! :)

And where did I meet him? Only at the lovely land of Caribou. He still comes in from time to time. Like today. And when I realize he's in the store, my heartrate shoots through the roof, my hands start to shake, my insides get all confused on where the belong and my knees give out. I can't speak and I can't breathe and all I can think to do is smile. I had to tell him today that coming in during an 8am rush is not the best time to "surprise visit" me. He agreed.


So, I suppose thats my exciting post-worthy news, I've met someone that makes my heart race when I see him. Someone who points out the puddles when we're walking. Someone who loves what I love and pushes me towards reaching my goals. Someone who finds my "quirks", 'cute'. Someone who makes me smile simply by being themself. Someone who makes me giggle in the silence of my day. Someone who opens my car door everytime. Someone who adds a little sugar to my coffee.
