Insanely Busy

Jun 03, 2009

That pretty much sums it up. Life has been moving at a pretty rapid pace for me. I finished my MLS and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I was also inducted into Beta Phi Mu, the library honor society. Much coolness and stuff. Our director (aka the big boss) was so thrilled that she hugged me. 

In other news I have hit a point where I'm not losing weight very fast but am losing inches again. Some of my size 18 clothes are really baggy now. One of my friends gave me an entire box full of 1X shirts and a couple pairs of pants. I was nice-- shared w/ my sis. So I'm pretty set for variety for at least a couple more months. The 1X WoW shirt I bought fits beautifully, nice and roomy the way I like them. Have already started looking at new shirts in L. HA! Haven't worn one of those since... um, ever?

What else? Oh yeah, my co-workers are having fun with the new me. I get all kinds of comments about showing cleavage, being "skinny," and my emerging "hour-glass figure." Flattering but can get a bit annoying or embarrassing at times. Heh, just had a patron come in and comment that I've lost weight. They also tell me I'm skinny or fading away. Regretfully though-- and never thought I'd put it this way-- men are starting to notice as well. At least one had me stand up and turn around, but he wasn't being forward, just curious. Others flirt outrageously or do their best to make me blush. In general they're waaaaay too old still. It was fine though until this past weekend, when I had a truly worrisome experience.

This past weekend one of our patrons actually typed up and handed me a note talking about how beautiful I am, how much weight I've lost-- and what he wanted from me. Needless to say, it wasn't a book. It struck me as funny at first but... yeah, CREEPY. He put in his email address. So I turned it over to the director. I have not seen him since to point him but, so she sent an email warning him to cease all communication with me or risk being physically removed and banned from the library. Very well done. Still... feel a bit antsy about the whole deal. Never can tell how someone will react. Hopefully he has enough sense to just walk away.

Oh yeah, have also decided to delve into the wondrous world of online dating again. It's ok I guess. Have come across some interesting people. Opted not to post a pic since I work with the public-- and said as much-- but still get a large number of interested parties. The few that have seen my pic said I was cute or whatever. (Sent one of the recent ones in the red shirt.) Sad thing is... I'm shallow. I am and I know it. So I get a bit nitpicky at times. Plus, well, if a guy can't even hold up his end of a convo online I generally figure he can't do it in person either. That seriously narrows the field some. If all else fails, I have two friends determined to see me at least dating somebody. I'm not really in a rush though. First and foremost (and talking online is great for saying this bluntly) I have no intention of sleeping with anybody. (That also narrows the field, gets rid of guys not interested in anything but sex, as well as those not planning on getting married one day.) Second, if things ever do move toward marriage... well, I know I look a LOT better w/ clothes on than off. Plus my eating habits are a bit odd these days-- ordering a burger and not eating the bun cuz I want to save up my carbs for dinner, etc.-- so I would be hesitant to go out to dinner or whatnot without first explaining myself. Speaking of which, have been out a couple times with co-workers of late and they are all very accepting and cool about it. They might make a teasing remark about me being full after a couple of bites, but it's all in fun. So... anyway, yeah. That's where I am right now.
