Monday morning...

Mmmmmmmm. It's a Monday morning, rather gloomy and grey outside from the rain, but I'm in a very good mood. Why? Because I woke up next to Pete this morning. That is one of the nicest feelings EVER, to wake up next to somebody in the morning. I mean WOW, that is very cool...I honestly expected to feel cramped and squished and irritable from sharing my usually very roomy bed with someone else like that overnight, but in all honesty, I'm kinda likin' it...we seem to fit just fine, plenty of room, and no annoyances at all. Even my dog lay beside me too, for awhile. Then she went to the floor and lay on her pillow.

I still say he's a nut for driving all the way down to be with me for less than one full day though. Traffic was chaos so I helped him go a different way, by looking at a map online and talking on the cell phone. That seemed to be a much better way too, so I'll try it next time myself, to avoid the clusterfuckery of the DC clog.

He reminded me of the first time I ever laid eyes on him...I was at the swimming pool at camp the first day, fully clothed, talking with Duke. This Pete guy just suddenly decided he's going down the curly children's slide, but first had to climb up through the different platform levels to get to it...so watching him do THAT was funny enough, grunting and groaning as he made his way up through it, but then he sat on the slide and went down it, as the whole structure swayed and shook, and then SPLOOSH, he screamed like a girl from how freezing COLD the water was!! Everybody at the pool laughed and laughed...and that's the first impression I got of Pete. He chuckled and said, "Betcha never thought, "Gee I wanna marry that guy." LOL He's just so impulsive and crazy about doing stuff like that, he's like a big kid sometimes. I find that to be very refreshing.

But, nooo, that thought did not cross my mind at that point, I gotta honestly say! But it was a friggin' riot...we just kept passing each other by those first couple of days at camp, without really realizing it. And now he's like, "we are coupling you know..." and it finally hit me, yes I guess we really are...how bizarre...I just shake my head at how all this has transpired so fast...but it's good though, I have to admit, it's really good to know somebody out there is on my side, not just as a friend, but as more than that. Someone who really believes in me, and will stick by me, no matter what. Somebody who WANTS to be there. I'm not just a "chore" or a burden on someone, like I have felt sometimes with Peter.

I rather like this feeling. I hope I can have this feeling for a long time.

Ok, so what if I'm at work now, I think I will listen to some more sappy Journey songs and feel warm and fuzzy awhile...mmmmmmm...

Love, Sassy Girl ps. My Journey pen-pal in England passed up the chance to see Journey the other day, he said, "it's turned into a friggin' kareoke band..." and when he did go see them with Jeff Soto, he loathed every moment of it..."he sucked." I told him he missed out on the best lead singer they've ever had since Perry, and he should definitely go buy the CD if nothing else. I've been his pen-pal since the age of 17 but we've never met. He lives in Birmingham and we met through the Journey fan-club...all those years ago...funny how we're still buddies!! That band has brought so many people together, it truly is a miracle of music. Thank you Stephen.
