All at once

Sometimes I think my life is just a sequence of intense bursts of random connections, memories, and events happening frantically together in a spiral of activity that sweeps me up and doesn't drop me back until it's had its way with me. Not that I mind, I thrive on the chaos usually, it's just funny that I don't do anything to start these times, they just come. So September was one of those - most of it I will not write about in detail, since it involves BOYS and other stuff I don't really like to put out there on the interwebs. :) But lets just say that there was old, new, surprising, predictable, good, bad and ugly all condensed in a matter of weeks!

I had my first god-awful date, a nice lesson in why people hate dating. I let myself be 'set-up' with someone for the first time, and although the verdict is still out on that one, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I re-connected with two ex-boyfriends, I handled myself pretty well in some tricky situations, let myself be slightly emotionally vulnerable, took some risks and had a fabulous time, and overall came to the end of this episode of tornado Jennie in darn good shape!

I say it's the end, I could be wrong, but the wind is changing, so to speak, I can feel it. I'm settling back into life as I like it, which is good.

I'm choosing to only stay peripherally engaged in what's happening in the world, because work was unstable, my life was unstable, and if I added in the instability of the financial mess and prospect of a Sarah Palin Vice Presidency, I'm not sure I would have held onto my sanity so well. So I read other people's opinions, quietly form my own, and go on with life. Oh and I sure as heck sent off for my absentee ballot!
