cloud 5

i'm more than half-way to cloud 9...

work is going really well. i love it! i should really stop shying away from "real" paralegal work and just dive in but at the moment, they're being very nice about easing me into the flow so i'm going to milk it for as long as i'm able. i'm going to be in the bocce tournament on thursday night (assuming that i can finish my project before they all leave - i think i'll make it to dinner, if i don't make it to bocce). i'm in the firm's hockey pool with one of my lawyers. i work downtown. i don't fight traffic every morning and every afternoon. i get home by 5. OMG, don't pinch me - i don't want to wake up from this dream!

and then there is my other news... [for those that don't want to hear about my love life, you can stop reading now]


i'm dating someone :) ... someone really nice :) ... someone i didn't meet on the internet :) ... he's the cousin of a friend from school. i met him a couple of months ago at my friend's housewarming but didn't think much of him, except that he was dating this girl i went to highschool with. i met him again a month later at the same friend's wedding shower - sans girlfriend. the wedding was two weeks later and it was pretty apparent, even to me (!) that he was interested. have i mentioned that he's so nice?

i can't say that he's the type i normally go for. let's face it, i love the pretty boys... tall, lanky, blond, blue eyes, suave, sophisticated... blah blah blah. this one does not quite fit the profile. he's tall-ish (probably about 5'11), brownish-blond hair that's greying at the temples, and he's built like a football player (so not what i normally go for!). he's a big goofball that talks a lot and likes football way too much. did i mention he's nice?

ok, i'll stop talking about him because: a) i don't want to jinx anything; and b) i don't want to turn into "one of those girls". :)

why cloud 5? because i think it's only going to get better... (bring on the cheese!)
