Yes, there are more. Two Ex-boyfriends contacted me this week. That makes 4 guys I've dated or had some type of complicated relationship with who have contacted me in less than 2 weeks. I'm writing the screenplay as we we speak! One guy was my first real boyfriend. It wasn't surprising that he messaged me because we talk every once in awhile. But the other ex, well, I haven't seen him or talked to him in over 7 years. He's the only guy I ever loved. I've made references to him in this blog before, but they were subtle, and you may not remember. He was the guy I dated my senior year in high school, the one that I thought I was going to run off and marry and live happily ever after with. But things don't always happen like we plan. For whatever reasons, things happened directly opposite to what I had envisioned. I'm ok with it all now, and I know that God has a reason for it all. But I must admit that curiosity has latched hold of me, and I

We'll just chalk these 2 incidents up to more of Kimberly's Strange Guy Stories. Story #1 -- Mr. Amazing texted me on Valentine's Day to naturally wish me Happy Valentine's Day.  Then a couple of hours later he texted and said "just wanted to let you know you are amazing."  I asked what made him think of that, and he replied that he was just thinking about me that day.  We exchanged some pleasantries , "how is your day" etc.  But in ending the conversation he said "I just felt like you deserved to know how great you really are."   If I didn't have the need to stay clear of his charm, I would have been floating on cloud 9.  However, I grabbed the nearest chair and grounded myself firmly.  How convenient that while he's at home alone on Valentine's Day he thinks of me.  He should have tried a day later, and I may have been impressed.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he does honestly think I'm great and amazing.  But

I am enjoying the night I deserve. Finally, after weeks of being busy, I've had a free week night. I've had basketball games, night class, church, and other social obligations for weeks straight. Tonight I was able to come home at a decent hour and stay at home! I sat outside for about an hour on my balcony reading a book. Once I got too cold, I came inside and continued reading while soaking in a warm bubble bath. Then my brother cooked a really good dinner. BBQ chicken, corn, green beans, and potatoes. Now I'm watching The Secret Life of an American Teenager and am going to do some more reading after that. I'm enjoying my night off. I'm forgetting about stupid boys and dumb drama and problems I can't fix. Tonight I'm just relaxing!

Here's a quote from Grey's Anatomy. Lexie wants to tell Callie all about her new relationship. Lexie (talking about Mark): He's fun and he's funny. Even with no sex we just laugh and we talk. Callie: Yeah. I don't want to hear this. Lexie: Come on! But you have to. You're the only one who knows about us and I'm terrible at keeping secrets. Keeping secrets makes me sick. Callie: Look. Alone people don't like to hear about the together people. Okay. Even if the alone people are alone by choice. It's just sort of mean. It's sort of like bringing a 6-pack to an AA meeting

You should know by now that if I've avoided the blogosphere for too long, it means 1 or 2 things: My life is so busy that I don't have time to write. I am dealing with so many thoughts that I refuse to sit down and write because I don't want to deal with them. This time, its a mixture of the two. I'm taking a night class this semester to prepare for a 3 part test.  I have to take this test to be certified to teach a computer class next semester.  The kicker is, our district won't know if we'll even be able to offer the class until April, but I have to take all this training just in case it all works out.  Of course, when you ask for details, no one seems to know anything.  I've gotten so many different answers that it's left me a bit stressed.  I like to know what is expected of me, and everything is so up in the air that it's driving me crazy. I've also applied to Graduate School.  I planned on starting this summer, but the fellowship I'm ap
