Fellow Residents and Guests,
Please don’t be litterbugs.
One thing I love about where I live is the walkability… It’s lovely, really. So when I see things like this it makes me sad. This was the second of it’s kind and I also saw a plastic bottle as well. 
Didn’t you all hear?

Does your body ever just shut down on you?
I took a half-day at work today in anticipation of a trip into NYC this evening to sip cocktails with SingleEdition friends. I wasn’t feeling so hot when I got home at 2pm. I had plenty of time, so I sat down …. then I woke up WAY later than I was supposed to.
I’m bummed out, but I guess my body needed a Time-Out.
I’m in a Time-Out with wanting a relationship right now as well. I have some residual Divorce things to wrap up and I am determined to do so, but until I do I don’t feel like I can commit myself elsewhere. Plus, I am having such a great time meeting people and making new local friends since moving to Morristown, which is something I haven’t had much opportunity/desire to do since moving to New Jersey 12 years ago.
My social “local” (RL) network has been pretty small over the years. Work, Online Dating and dash of Social Networks have been my resources for making friends … and now my meetup group! I love this group and have made some awesome new friends!
So, naturally a new social life leads to meeting new men and going out with men is typically considered dating, which conflicts with my relationship time out. I’m not ready to even open my mind to the thought of a relationship right now, but I do want to date, so what is the etiquette?
How do I communicate this clearly so that these guys knows where we stand?
I need to add in that while I am not open to a relationship today, that does not mean I wont wake up tomorrow and decide differently, but as men you really should know that about us women already!

Well, I can’t sleep … but then who could with all the excitement this year has brought me!?
I dubbed 2012 The Year of Awesome from the start and I’m happy to report it’s really living up to the title. Well in my world at least and for that I am so grateful!
I look back on where I was a year ago … dealing with a lot of stress, newly diagnosed health condition, a relationship that just wasn’t working for me and a new position at work with many, many issues.
Today I smile so much my face hurts, I take a deep breaths when I start to feel a little stressed, I’ve found a medication to manage my pain, I’m back on WeightWatchers and thanks to a year free membership at planet fitness I’m getting back into an exercise routine. I even signed up for my 1st 5k!
I live in an awesome town with awesome “neighbors” that I’m falling more and more in love with each day. My real life social network is growing and I’ve made many new and awesome friends!
I love my job, my coworkers and I have the most wonderfully supportive and caring manager in the world. I feel valued and appreciated, unlike many past years I’ve worked for the company. Best of all I received a stellar year end review today with an unexpected promotion.
So onward and upward 2012 … at this rate I just might find that special someone to share in my awesome … not that you all aren’t super special!
Now let me see if I can catch some Zzzzs!!
I do and it’s part of the reason why I did not purchase early discount tickets to BlogHer 2012 today for $189, which is being held this August 2-4 in NYC. Well, that and the fact that I currently owe the IRS a huge chunk of change, but hey we all have our financial challenges and I won’t bother dwelling on it in this post. I’m just going the responsible route and sucking it up.
I still really, really want to attend BlogHer and I would love-love-love to attend BlogWorld and New Media Expo NY 2012, but financially I can not justify the out of pocket expense at this time. Perhaps an opportunity will come along … I’ll save my campaigning (begging and pleading) for another post.
