"Photographs and Memories..."

...not to quote Jim Croce or anything....

Today a couple of things happened that made me feel 'good' and somewhat irritated (mind you I am working on 2 or 3 hours sleep...)

One of the cashiers that works at the Au Bon Pain here has been bugging me to bring her a picture of my 'beau' and 'beau' he is indeed....

So I ran a picture of Erin downstairs and got myself another cup of joe and some nuts to munch on...

She took a look at his picture and said 'How old is he?' I answered her. She commanded me not to 'let this one go', then she asked me how we met. I told her through my ex - well at the time of this exchange there was an older gentleman standing there being rung up - he seemed to be about 70 or so...he laughed and she laughed at this irony. She then said how she loves when 'paybacks' like that happened. I protested. Erin isn't some 'payback' to me. He's not me being a rebellious teen. He's not my revenge. He's someone that I not only deserve to have in my life - but I believe (perhaps I should not speak for him) I am a benefit to his life as well. I don't do the 'dating to pay somebody back' game - that's crap. I think I fell in love with Erin on our first 'date' - go figure...

I also posted some pictures to another journal of mine and received compliments - which really made my day - cause yes I don't consider myself 'beautiful' - attractive perhaps....but it was nice to be complimented.

Happy Yule to everyone. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy yourselves and your families....if possible
