Football, family and film

More "F" words I am losing my mind...

This weekend was about a trip to Columbus - which in some weird way is becoming like 'our' place (well I can't answer for him). About rope tricks - not sure I am going to elaborate on this. About meeting the family and about going to see a movie that is now haunting me a little bit...

E and I spent a great weekend together (for the most part) - there were some rocky times but it was wonderful nonetheless.

We spent Friday night together. Saturday we got up I did some Yoga and we left to go to Columbus to see the Scarlet and Grey vs Northern Illinois in OSU's home opener.

Neither one of us are huge sports fans - he is an athlete - I am active and I grew up in a 'football' family (yeah say it with me now 'STEELERS')...

We took our time going down to Columbus - stopped at the Outlet stores in Lodi, OH. Made it down, checked into our hotel room and walked to the stadium - so we missed the first quarter - which was kind of sad considering that seemed to be when the brunt of the action took place. There amongst the others crammed in like sardines into the bleachers we sat, time to time holding hands, and cuddling - we had a lot of fun.

Then we left a bit early he gave me a bit more of a tour of the campus...we walked the 'Short North' and ate dinner (wonderful Greek place), and checked out the Gallery Hop (first Saturday of every month), and all in all had a wonderful evening. Went back to the hotel and made love to the Greek music filtering in from the festival just outside our window.

Sunday we watched a little TV, talked to each other (you know I don't know why I am so fascinated by the fact that we do this) and left to drive back towards Lodi where my sister has a 'camper'. We spent most of the day with my sister and her family (her husband, my nephew Andrew and my niece Victoria) - it was great - they loved E, he apparently 'has a nice complexion' and, according to my sister 'you did good C!' Yeah guys, thanks, I know I did...but so did he...

Sunday night we slept out in his back yard under the moon and the stars and well...you do the math.

Monday got up - talked more - really talked. He made a nice breakfast. I went home to clean - he stayed home to do stuff. I called him around 2PM and asked if he wanted to meet my son and go with us to see "The Illusionist", starring his look-a-like Edward Norton (who is HOT - well E is too *giggles* (E is probably hotter)). This movie was really well done, it was mesmerizing in some ways and lacking in others - it's definitely worth a look-see.



Afterwards, I brought him over to show him my place...my son and his friends were going to begin playing music so we went to grab a bite to eat at Johnny Mangos..that was nice as well...

I am beginning to sound like a broken record when it comes to him and how things are between us - yes, like every other couple in the universe we have our 'issues' but they always seemed to be outweighed by our ability to deal with them - to TALK.

I want to say more - I hesitate...there's so much in my heart to say. I have so much going on it's almost and has been overwhelming and leaves me unable to really pin it all down, stick it into a category or even be eloquent in describing the very thing I need to be able to describe (well at least to myself) - my head, my heart, even my soul seem caught up in a whirlwind and my fear is that I will be lost somehow...it's frightening not knowing what the next 'step' is suppose to be - I mean is there suppose to be a logical progression to this or do you just stay in a holding pattern? And if there IS a logical progression well I don't know what that is at this point. I don't necessarily feel there HAS to be a direction or a plan....but part of me wants there to be one - otherwise I feel like I am floundering...it's a long way down when you're in free fall.

kids...

I mean meeting my kids and hanging out for a bit with them. You'll meet them this weekend before the clam bake. Maybe afterwards we can play a game with them.
