Diary of a Wom'n

Roses are red...voilets are...it doesn't matter because I haven't stopped to smell either this year.

It wouldn't be an understatement to say the year has went by very fast.  Apartements have been bought, permanent jobs have been secured and with more things on the way, who has time for roses?  I like that things have been fast-paced.  It gives me very little time to be bored or start thinking about depressing things.

I think it's been a fulfulling year all in all.  In addition to the new job and apartment, I'm particularily thrilled about getting back into the groove of reading for the fun of it.  And the book that did the trick was The Hunger Games.

To be quite cliche, I want to make a New Year's resolution.  For 2011, I want to spend more time with my friends.  This year, I kind of strayed away from them to put more energy into my work.  This time, I want to balance things out and connect with them again.

The second resolution is to dress with class for work.  I want to step it up a notch and look good more often than not.

There are days where I revile my job so much one hour, and love it the next. 

Like Saturday.  I got to see Harrison again.  I was off for the month of November.  And Saturday was my first day back.  When Harrison saw me, he was pleasantly happy to see me.  "Heeeey" he expressed to me, brandishing the biggest smile I've gotten from him yet.  "How are you?" he asked with a genuine interest, his bulging arms and powerful legs making their way to the table.  Has he gotten more beefy over this past month? 

He wants to tell me he misses me.  That all he could think about there in my absence was me.  And that it took a lot of restraint to keep himself from giving me a hug upon seeing me again.  I want to tell him I'm happy to see him again too.  And happy to toss secret glances at each other again.  But I pass the moment with "How've you been?" and "What's new" and avoid anything that is too personal - that's dangerous territory.

I love the way he's so intelligent, and shows a lot of committment to his work.  He doesn't waste time or act like an idiot like guys usually do.  He's got it all together.  He doesn't seem to need to figure himself out.  He already knows himself.  He's self-assured and so naturally confident.

He's definitely somebody special.
