Today I had a reminder of what the next 10 months will be like. The alarm went off at 5:00 AM and I had to drag my ass out of bed. I have not gotten up that early since June. Did the morning routine and was at school by 6:30. Met some colleagues for breakfast and then we were all off to a meeting by 8:30. Got back to school at 12:30. Then had lunch with more colleagues and finished just in time to have a meeting at 2:00. The meeting wasn't over until 4:10 and I didn't get home until 4:40. That was a long day. The meetings went fine and hanging out with the colleagues was fine too. The bad part was I was having withdrawals from getting my e-mail and being able to reply right away as well as blogging and checking out the threads on the Tribe. I couldn't find one minute today to get away and check the e-mail. I guess for the next 10 months if you send me an e-mail I won't be able to reply until I get home. It looks as though my schedule is going to keep me from having any free time to play on the computer this year. Well, I'll just have to retrain my brain to e-mail and blog when I get home.
I had planned to write earlier this evening but I've just spent the last 3 hours on the phone. A friend called to chat about his boyfriend problems. I listened and offered support where appropriate. Then I talked to David several times about all kinds of things. He was telling me about his latest conquests. The guy sounds adorable. I told him to hold on tight and make it happen. Then I got a little misty and said, “I want a boyfriend.” Then he quickly returned with, “It's my turn!” I started laughing. He reminded me that I've had like 5 boyfriends since he had one. He said it was his turn to have one. It's funny though, when I have a boyfriend, he doesn't. When he has an interest, I won't. It's like we have to take turns. I guess I'll let him have his turn and I'll take a break for awhile. But as soon as it ends with adorable guy, it's my turn again. Hahahaha
I've seen this Quiz on several blogs. I told myself awhile ago I wasn't going to take another quiz. It seems the information is only interesting to the person who takes them. But since this one was about relationships, I decided to find out what kind of relationship guy I am. Interesting results. I do think most of it is correct. Especially about approaching the opposite sex….I have no problem talking to women. It's men that cause me stress. Anyway, here are the results:
You are a XPYG–Expressive Practical Physical Giver. This makes you a Roving Spouse.
You are magnetic, charming, and impossible to resist. You have no problem with approaching the opposite sex — it just comes naturally to you, and the thrill of warming up a stranger is one of your great drives. Still, very few people really know you. You don't just *feel* misunderstood — you are. You are probably nursing a heartache that you never let on.
You're calm in a conflict (almost *too* calm — a more emotional partner may wonder why you're not more engaged) and quick with affection. Fighting makes you uncomfortable, but as you avoid direct conflict your frustrations can manifest in the cold shoulder and passive-aggression, which is no better! Still, you make a loving, doting parent — giving more love than discipline — and your children prefer you.
Like an XSYG, you put so much thought and effort in what you give to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. You also give and think so much that you can also talk yourself into cheating — physically or emotionally — and this can lead a cycle of conflict, guilt, conflict-avoidance, chilly atmosphere and then more cheating. But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.
You've got to open up! You express and give so much of yourself in other ways — don't be afraid to express what's bothering you.
I'm only being so hard on you because you remind me of me.

So who wants to be my boyfriend or ask me out? (grin)
