A year ago today I started my first job in Boston working for an IT firm (ended being temporary obviously). I've been thinking about my first few months in Boston. It's those familiar smells, the way the wind hits me, the way the light reflects off certain buildings. I was single then, just like I am now. I had an awesome roommate who I miss, because she was great and we hung out quite a bit. Of course, this time last year wasn't nearly has hot as it is this year. I didn't have to rely on a bus to get me to work, just hopped on the T or walked. Speaking of buses, they just changed the bus schedule for the summer and I laugh because the new published times are the times the buses were actually picking us up before the summer schedule went into effect. So, basically what they did was just adjust the times to make the "late" buses actually be "on time" at least for the morning route. The evening one they totally messed up on b/c now I have to walk home if I go to the gym after work b/c I miss the bus by 5 minutes! Grrr.
So I'm single, working and have a solid group of friends. Now I have proven that I don't need a man. I'm perfectly capable of doing anything and everything without a guy giving me a hand. HOWEVER, that does not mean that I do not want a man. In fact, I am ready to have a nice man in my life. Someone I can go have a picnic dinner with in the park while watching the free summer movies; someone to walk along the wharf and stop off for some dinner seaside; someone who will actually take ME out on a date and not hit on anyone else while doing so. It's nice having extra hands around too, even if I don't always admit it. I'm ready to get my ass kicked at pool and talk sports. To sit around on lazy days and play games. I miss the companionship, talking on the phone or catching up (via one of the many modes of communication) on days I don't see him. Of course, I will have to change some things in order for me to land me someone special. For starters, I'm going to have to start making myself available to meet him. Which means, I need to cut back on my social life. I hardly have enough time for myself these days! I also need to really work hard at the gym. I like being in shape and have unfortunately fallen victim to the "freshman 15". When I'm healthier and happier with my body, I know I send off good vibes, vibes I know guys also pick up on. So this is something I'm going to work on for the month of July.
