Loving life for the first time

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. Everything is so much different now.

I'm getting close to my 6 months of being clean. Its been work, but I'm staying this way. The pain from my accident has been manageable for the most part. I think I might have mentioned that Starr introduced me to natural medicine. Once a month, I get physical treatment for the old injuries and then I do physical therapy. So, really, this is the best I've felt since the day of the accident.

Ash, my beautiful Ash. I sold my old place. We needed a change of scenery. Right now, we are renting a place right on the beach, not too far from Starr. I bought Ash a motorcycle and I taught her to ride. We've been spending most of our time riding.

When I got our of rehab, I had asked Ash to marry me. She told that she wasn't saying yes or no until I made three months sober. So, I asked her again on my three month. She said yes! But...she won't set a date until my six month. Which is only a few weeks away. I'm excited. She is the love of my life and forever with her is going to be the best. I know it.

My buddy, my pal, Speed is back finally. Well, not back in Florida, but online so we can read her crazy stories about life. She left us all down here back in October and she has yet to see the new me. So this is me begging.....please come home, please. We all miss you like mad. And Ash told me to tell you hello. I want to thank you for all you've done. Crazy love, woman!

In the bookstore

The article from hell is raising some hell and....I love it. I have got a stack of hate mail thicker than a Big Mac. But...I got a stack of mail from my fans three times as thick.

In other news...

I was at Borders the other day checking out what was new in the lesbian fiction department (which seems to have shrunk) and this woman walked past me a few times. I thought it was strange for her to pass between me and the shelf I was studying because there was plenty of room for her to walk behind me. On the fourth time she inconvenienced me, I looked up to say something.

I had this whole speech on how rude she was being ready to spill from my lips but when I found her eyes, all words were lost in my smile. Hot. Very, very hot. Scorching even.

She let out a breath and said, "Its about time. I thought I was going to have to start stripping my wardrobe to get you to look up."

I laughed. The idea of her naked was more than a nice thought.

We had some coffee and a very interesting conversation that went from quietly calm to extremely heated and back again. I liked her. I think the rest of you will too. Not like I'm planning on anything other than a few dates maybe, but she is cool. Definitely CLC material.

Well, we will be having dinner tomorrow night on Los Olas and maybe I will get to see her without the wardrobe. *evil laugh*
