the next chapter.

over the course of a long weekend, i feel as though my life has been flipped.

(it has.)

i am ridiculously, insanely, crazy happy with someone who seems to be just as ridiculously, insanely crazy happy with me.

it's not without complications and neither of us have absolutely any idea where this is going. somewhere for sure, but as for right now- we're just enjoying this ride.

so while this seems to be the perfect time to write about falling in love with him, i'm going to take a break from the blog and focus on the ride.

(besides, the four of you who read this will know all about it anyway.)

looking back, everything that i've written about in this blog for almost two years feels like it's been leading up to this moment.

time to look ahead.

it is what it is...

he's your typical "good-on-paper" guy.

we dated earlier this year. for one reason and another (and another...), it did not work out. and now we're friends.

we see each other fairly often. we engaged in some flirtatious behavior* at a mutual friend's birthday party last month. (*albeit after a few cheap beers.) we talk occasionally and we've both agreed to leave the door open on "us." we both agree that while right now might not be the right time, perhaps a right time will come someday.

my mom adores him. my sister wonders why we aren't together. and i know why we aren't.

but yesterday- he did a very nice favor for me, even though it was a weird request on my part. went completely out of his way to do it and then stopped and chatted for awhile at my place after.

and when he left- i smiled. i really enjoy his company and his friendship. and i'm really happy i'm letting myself let this friendship grow. no pressure, no deadlines, no manic thoughts of babies or weddings... it just is what it is.

and so i'll just continue what i'm doing. dating the guy i'm dating (more on that later), attending mr. good-on-paper's thanksgiving party this coming weekend and enjoying life... without manic thoughts of babies or weddings.

it's a nice way to live.

happy (belated) halloween!

i'm an epic fail when it comes to updating this thing lately and i likely will continue to be as long as my work, love and general life keeps me as busy as i have been lately. (more on that later...)


















with love,
the vampire and peg bundy

(i really was having a good time, i was just trying to be surly and mean, which clearly came off as intensely annoyed.)
