well she coaxed me into signing on. I gotta make this brief so we can
get busy to knowing each other much deeper lol. When she pulled up my
heart began to beat hard and i began to get butterflies in my stomach.
They haven't gone away since! Kathy is so much more beutiful than what
appears in her pictures, it goes much deeper than that! I'm sitting here
with a beutiful soul! well shes laying here on the bed giving me that
look.....so id better go. yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww.
Paul

I usually have a difficult time sleeping...up every couple hours, then
catnapping again.

Last night, I woke up only once...and Paul was here. It was the best
night's sleep I've had in a very long time...

Butterflies!

wooohooo Kat...right on...sounds like you had a good time yesterday :-)

Still riding the wave ~ oh, what a feeling!

wow,thats so cool,i wish you two well and have a great one

i cant remember the last tiem i slept a good nite's sleep

Well, he left Sunday morning. It's now Wednesday, and we've talked a
couple times on the phone and in one IM. Could be that he's overloaded
at work (when he took the time off to come here, that meant he had to
work 11 days with no break when he got back, and he's covering for his
vacationing boss, too)...or could be that the online was more special
than the real time.

Yeah, I'm a girl and we are known to "read negativity into stuff" if you
believe men. I said it before ~ time will tell.

He left a brand new, expensive shirt here with me. It's so big, I can
only wear it as a sleep dress (hee hee!). No, I didn't STEAL it...he
gave it to me.

Kat to many women jump to the wrong idea to quickly because of things
happening in their past. I hope he is just busy and can get back to
calling and IMing you like he once did if not more.

Good Luck.

Breath deep Kat, we are all hoping the best for you! By the looks of
your profile, you got it going on girl! No Worries!

J

Kat, I hope things are going well with you and Paul...sounds like you
guys had a very good time!! Good luck and keep us informed :)

he would be a fool not stay with you,so dont sweat the small stuff,he
has a job,i know it might sound crazy,but he might not be able to
contact you when you wantor he wants,take a chill pill,things will work
out just fine.

good luck

It's all good, my friends! I've been divorced for 13 years, and
obviously can pay my own bills so I'm not "looking" for THE ONE.

It WAS nice to hear him on the phone at 7:30 this morning telling me
what the day holds for him, though (we call it, "meeting for coffee in
the morning")...

Hey Cathy,
I wish you good luck with your weekend and your first time meet, I hope
it is what you deserve Im fairly new but I read your responses in the
forums and was like wow if only I had her wisdom. Godd Luck.

Sweetie, I have no "wisdom" ~ only life experience. The place I was
born, the family I was born into, the friends I've chosen, the paths
I've traveled...each of us creates our own unique "tapestry" of life
lessons.

I am not done learning those lessons yet, and hope I never quench my
thirst for more...

People, and their "tapestries" fascinate me, which is why I am here and
on other e-groups. To hear of the paths others have chosen and how
those choices impacted them...to hear the experience of others and draw
knowledge from that ~ life is a learning experience, like reading a book
with no ending. I can't wait to turn the next page!

Remember, I am older than the average person here. What seems like
wisdom is just more days on the life calendar!

LIVE! LEARN! LOVE!!!!!!!

wow,your right,you have so much more wisdom then most,but im stepping on
your heels,im just fooling with you....take care

Wow ~ you're still "reading my book", hmmm? Cool...

The phone still rings every morning, and it's Paul and we have coffee
together (LOL!). Nice way to start the day.

Tomorrow, my "life book" will be full and interesting:

Leaving the house at 7 a.m. (yes, on a Saturday) to drive to "South of
the Border" near Dillon, SC. At 8 a.m., I'll rendezvous with another
dog rescue person who will hand over 2 Great Dane dogs to me, and I'll
be driving them 80 miles to Dunn, NC. They will be turned over to the
next transport volunteer ~ on and on until they reach their destination
Sanctuary in New Jersey.

Then it's home to groom 7 dogs (this is an "every Saturday"
thing...ugh!),

Beginning at 3 p.m., long time friends who are members of a motorcycle
club (to remain nameless to protect the guilty) are having a 24-hour
"24th Anniversary Party". Looks like the weather is gonna suck, but
I'll be there anyway. Free food, buck-a-beer, $2.50 Jager Bombs (my
fav!), bands, bikes, leather-clad men and women (some naked, I'm
sure)...good times, good friends, good fellowship!

Sunday, I'll be sleeping...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These are the details of tomorrow's Rescue Run Transport (I've deleted
info to assure privacy):

Transport Coordinator: Pat
Date of Transport: Saturday, 10/7/06
Beginning City & State: Hartsville, SC
Ending City & State : Jackson, NJ
Reason for Transport: Medical Boarding to Rescue
Passengers:
Name: Luke and Blue Velvet
Breed: Great Danes
Age: both 1.25 yrs old
Gender: 1 Male; 1 Female
Altered: Yes
Size/Weight: These are small for Danes, but large dogs, nevertheless.
They are @ 75 lbs and 80 lbs.
Vaccinations: UTD (Up to date)
Wormed: Entirely
Flea Treatment : TBD
General Health: They are recovering from terrible prior living
conditions, but are doing well, now.
Housebroken: No
Crate trained :Don’t know
Behavior with Other Dogs: Good
Good with Children? Don’t know
Any behavior problems: None have been observed.
Crate: We would prefer to have the dogs travel uncrated, if you, the
drivers, are comfortable doing so. While crating is always the safer
option, crates for these dogs are quite large, and it is important that
these two be able to travel together, in the same vehicle. They are
likely to travel quietly and well, if permitted to stretch out on a back
seat and in a cargo compartment. If you do have a crate or crates for
dogs this size, and are able to fit them in your vehicle, crating would
be fine, too!


Sending Shelter: The dogs have been boarding at the treating vet, but
were rescued through the cooperative efforts of: DELETED

We are flexible - MEETING CITIES/LOCATIONS CAN BE CHANGED! If you can do
a partial leg, that’s great, too! Any and all help will be greatly
appreciated!

WE LOVE HAVING BACKUP DRIVERS!
