The 37 Hour Date (Take two)

The 37 Hour Date
How to describe it? Wonderful? Perfect? Incredible? Amazing? All good words, but woefully inadequate when it comes to my feelings about it. I will try to describe it as completely as possible without going into too much detail. (After all, some things are just too personal to share.)

So where to begin? At the beginning, I guess. However, even from the very beginning while talking over breakfast, something just felt different, just felt right. Never in my life have I been so comfortable with someone so quickly. Never in my life have I looked into someone's eyes and felt I was looking into a mirror image of my own heart and soul. That is, however, exactly what it felt like.....

Skip ahead to a few hours later at the mall. From walking around looking in the shops to smooching through (most of) Forgetting Sarah Marshall (it was a good movie, what we actually watched of it), I could tell that this was going to be no ordinary date by a long shot, and this was no ordinary man I was with. I've kissed my share of frogs, and could tell that now I finally found my prince. How could I know that so quickly, you ask? And on a first date too? Call it a gut feeling, women's intuition, or whatever you want......doesn't matter what you call it, doesn't matter if you believe it or not, all that matters is that the impossible finally became possible-I finally found the Love of a Lifetime.

My first post

Okay, this is my first post on a blog that I started God knows how long ago and was originally titled "The Vegan Monologues". Why the change? I love cheese and other dairy products too damn much. It's a weakness I've had forever and have discovered that it is the one thing I cannot change. Peanut butter and Jelly with a glass of soy milk just didn't cut it...I need the real thing, probably because it's what I had as a kid and it's now deeply ingrained in my brain...who knows?
As an aside, my original blog was titled "More than words..." and I posted once on it about meeting the most amazing, most wonderful man in the world who has long since become my fiance...I have forgotten the password for that blog, and all of the tools to get it e-mailed to me have failed, so I will copy and paste it here later on. Anyway, hope you all enjoy reading my mindless drivel, which will not be just about being vegetarian, but will be about many other things as well...mainly the random thoughts that float through what passes for my mind.... :o)
