I need human contact.
I've spent the entire weekend with my dog and my cat and very little human interaction. I'm very lonely. As much as I need personal time (and I do, believe me), I need some quality human interaction at least once every 24 hours. I'm actually looking forward to work tommorrow because I'll be surrounded by people.
But I am at least 75% responsible for my lack of a significant other. I have spent an extremely long time getting over my ex and trying to get over Mr. Wonderful. I just have to accept that. I genuinely believe that I am almost totally there. I want a relationship of my own. I am ready to trust someone again.
Mr. Wonderful has continued to sniff around. On Thursday we met for coffee and I told him to knock it off. That our last tryst was a massive lapse in judgment on my part and that I was not going to get swept up in him again only to end up hurt and alone. I have so much love to give. I want to give it to someone who actually cares.
Anyway.
Yesterday Dash (the dog) and I walked down to the Italian Market to go grocery shopping. It was so much fun! Saving money by eating in is actually FUN. I got 1 lb green beans, 5 oranges, 1 bunch of parsley, 2 red onions, 1 lb of cherries, 2 lbs of red potatoes, a box of strawberries, and 4 bananas for only $8.00! I could have bought a lot more and I don't know why I didn't...Dash had a blast looking at all of the meat. I wast tempted to pick up some lamb, but I need to continue to work on my cooking skills. Last night I cooked up some potatoes and steak. This morning I made up hashbrowns and an omelette. There is a nice spice place in the Market that I wanted to go into, but couldn't with the dog. Next weekend maybe.
But the COOLEST new purchase (only $11.95) is a milk frother to make lattes. I LOVE IT. it is SO much fun. I don't even want to go to coffee shops anymore. It's more fun (and tastes better) to make my own coffee drinks. I've made so many lattes this weekend the forther has already paid for itself.
Last night I watched Michael Clayton. What a great movie. I kept thinking (as I sipped my latte) while it was awesome to have Dash curled up on my lap watching the movie with me, it would be more awesome to have a guy sitting next to me as well.
It'll come together. I've got a lot going for me. I think I finally believe that, deep down. I was actually thinking about that while I hung a hanging basket in my kitchen last night (I'm going stir crazy, I'm tellin ya). I was really impressed with myself. Me and my drill and my hanging basket that is now showing off all of that produce I bought.

I know you are in the process of saving money, but I have to point this out to a fellow Yorkie owner and lover.
The best bag I own is the earlier version of this. It's so discreet that people almost never realize there's a dog in there. Also, if your dog doesn't bark a lot, then it's especially great.
Little Bear definitely barks, but he almost NEVER barks in the bag. It is very, very rare. If he hears a bell that sounds like a doorbell, then he may bark, but it rarely happens. It's like the bag quells him. I wish "No barking!" had that kind of effect. LOL!
The result? I can sneak my doggie in virtually anyplace I please. Funny as it sounds, it helps me to not feel so lonely. I always have a "shopping buddy," although sometimes i get a funny look when people see me "talk to myself" ha! They don't realize i'm talking to the dog. :)
Plus -- it's safe and great for airlines. LB has flown with me a few times. :) He's like American Express -- I never leave home without him!
The point is that you could take Dash to the spice section :)
You're welcome! I used to have a whole collection of dog bags. I have narrowed it down to my two favs. That one and one that Tony bought me for Xmas this past year.
Btw, dogs > all humans. Just so we're clear :)
