Flickering Lights

My 12-in-12 attempt failed miserably this past month. I had hoped I'd be back on track, but with my skating competition on the 13th, I was more focused on preparing. Besides, the man came up on the 12th and lord knows I don't pay attention to much else while he's around. (Sickening, I am aware...)

The competition went very well. I skated decently and ended up taking home two gold medals. The man met some family and friends (and was well received) and seemed very supportive. My coach was very proud of me. It felt good, and I can't wait to do it again. I'm just waiting to see when that will be.

Valentine's day was fantastic. I felt like a tool after I opened my gifts from him. What I got him seemed so lame compared to what I received. Oh well. I made him a meal of roasted chicken (which I wasn't impressed with), roasted garlic parmesan mashed potatoes and broccoli with a bread crumb topping. I also made eclairs for dessert. All that really matters is that I was able to spend time with him, and I loved every minute.

Last week proved to be interesting. We had three straight days of snow that dropped three feet of snow in some areas and caused mass power outages. I lost power sometime on Thursday and as of this moment, I'm still without power. It's been beyond frustrating, but thankfully I am okay. It allowed me to visit some of the Ropke side of the family, as well as have a nice (but brief) visit with the man. Sadly, I will not be able to see him until the weekend of the 12th, so it was nice to spend the half an hour I had with him.

Things on the romantic front have been good. I really enjoy his company and his conversation. He makes me laugh and always seems to know the right things to say. My feelings for him are growing and while it scares the hell out of me, it's a nice thing to admit. I miss him every moment he is gone and always anticipate his next visit.

Anyway, there's the update. Perhaps I'll have something more interesting to report later.
