Groundhog Day, otherwise known as "Two Months"

Yes, tis true. Adam and I have been dating for two months today. Two months ago today I was feeling pretty miserable, but trying to fight it off as I knew Adam was supposed to be hanging out with me that night. I feared he might not want to come, but I just really wanted him to anyway. And he did. And he brought such delights as stew and a hot toddy, and even more: himself.
After we officially began dating, I happened to be getting my hair cut (yes, 10 whole inches off!), and my hairdresser Martin commented that it usually takes 2 months to decide if it's a relationship worth keeping. How anxious I've been off and on as I tried to figure out if our relationship was one worth hanging on to for both of us! Despite many differences between us, we seem to have some significant value to each other.
I don't know where this is going, but man, I'm so glad he's in my life right now!

Time Management

Anyone who knows me knows that time management and myself have never functioned well together for long. I don't know if it's something in the way my brain processes time or what, but I'm ALWAYS behind. Then the other night, I became aware that there might have been a slight shift in the way I function. On New Year's Eve, as we were heading out together, Adam made the comment that he was surprised he'd never had to wait for me to get ready; I was always ready on time. He seemed afraid to expect that experience to last. Later that night, that phenomenon of my timeliness came up at my parents' house. My mom said that all while I was growing up, she would read books on how to help me become better at managing my time, but none of them worked. And then she said to Adam, "You've been the best thing for her yet!"

It's true, though--at least so far. I do find myself striving to get my work done more quickly so that I can spend time with him. When I don't worry too much (and I do find myself worrying about crazy things, so much of it pertaining to hoping our relationship will last a while), I have such a great time with him. Having him around for some of Christmas and New Year's made this year incredibly special for me :-)

Oh, there's so much more, but I'd better get back to using my time wisely so I can hang with him tonight!
