Been a long, long week.  Got a lot of stuff done at my house.  whew. i'm tired!  got most of my dog kennel over at my new house, and most everything i'll ever need or want all boxed up and put in a pile waiting to get it to storage!  Having a storage work party next month.  my friends and family are so awesome for coming to help me!!  It takes a village......

A and I are doing ok.  We've been texting and talking every day.  He's going thru some stuff with his ex girlfriend so I'm giving him some space to deal with it.  He knows I'm here for him if he needs me.  No matter what anyone tells me, men take breakups just as hard as women and sometimes harder!  They blame themselves for the failure of their relationship, they replay every moment they spent with that person, and will blame themselves for things that were not their fault.  I have lots of male friends and have been thru some pretty devestating endings to some of their relationships.  Men are not made of steel.  I honestly think women handle breakups better.  Because instead of holding it all in, women have their girlfriends who they rant and rave and vent it all out.  They are able to verbalize everything they are feeling and really feel those feelings.  Men aren't as equipped emotionally to do this.  I know that some are, but the ones I know, they aren't. 

But I have come to the realization that if a relationship ends, then it was not one that you need to be in anymore.  You've learned your lessons from that experience and now you need to open yourself up for the next chapter in your life.  That's how i feel about death also.  there is always a reason for everything that happens.  Just follow your gut and you'll be traveling down the right path.

I'm feeling a little punchy today for some reason.  Not sure why. 

On a good note, for girls and gay men only, the premier of the much anticipated Magic Mike will be out tomorrow night.  My girlfriends and I will be heading to the movie theater on Sunday morning to watch the greatest thing on the big screen that I will witness all year!  I can't wait!!!
