Firstly - shiny new layout. Thanks for the tip,
wilde_moon.
Second, I'm sad to say that Toni Kimbel, my great aunt, passed away Thursday evening. She's had a form of brain cancer which runs in my family for several years now. She's been in a lot of pain for the past few months, and she finally passed. She was a great woman, and she'll be surely missed. But at least now she's no longer in pain.
Third - last night, Vive, Todd & I went and saw The Hitcher. The movie itself was pretty good for what it was. Think Joy Ride meets TCM. More importantly, though, Vive and Todd hit it off. Vive loves him, and he can't wait to hang out with her again. After the movie, we went to Lelia Janes and had a few and sat around talking. It was so great being out with my guy and my best friend and just having fun. Me and Vive stayed after Todd took a cab home (he had to work early this morning - stupid work) and talked...about him. heh. Vive came back here and spent the night, and we had an oink fest while watching the game today. (GO BEARS! wHOOOOT!)
Yeah, it's Todd. It's pretty crazy how great things are going. I kinda feel like this is exactly the way a new relationship should work. We're crazy about each other. Trying to take things slow(ish) but calling and not really able to stay away. heh. That's three times in one week that spent with each other. We're going to get together tomorrow night and watch a movie, and Wednesday night I'm going to cook for him (actually he wants me to teach him how to cook). I'm still getting used to the little text messages and voicemails about "just thinking about you" and "can't wait to see you again." And it's especially difficult (in a funny sort of way) adjusting to someone telling me I'm adorable and cute and sexy and fun. Not that I don't think I'm those things, but that I'm not really used to hearing it from someone I like. And the fact that Vive approves of him so much really means a lot to me.
Anyway, I just really think he's a great guy, and I can see this turning into something special and maybe even long term. I still think and believe what I said a little over a week ago - I don't need a partner in my life, but it would be a nice addition to my already new-found happiness. It's just incredible that things have worked out the way they have. And even while I'm writing this I'm smiling and grinning thinking about seeing him tomorrow.

Good for you, dude.
:)
My sympathies about your Aunt but yes, she's probably much happier now that she's not in pain any more.
*hugs*

By the way, if you want to move your sidebar up so that you don't have the dead space next to your header:
In "Custom Options" under "Header Layout" make sure "header location" is set to "inside." Under "Extras" put "div.side { margin-top: -430px; }" (no quotes) and adjust the px value accordingly. *g*

They say that when you stop looking, that's when good things find you. So glad they have! *hugs*
