40 days and 40 nights later…

As I vowed in a previous post, http://livelovelearnbreathe.com/2012/02/23/40-days-and-40-nights/, my Lenten promise was to give up all contact with the man known as Cleveland.  To be fair, I did break that pact, but only once.  (Sorry, Jesus.)  And in my defense, the communication that I did have was a very short and innocent text that, at the time, I …

40 days and 40 nights

To tell you the truth, I had absolutely no idea that today was the first day of Lent (aka Ash Wednesday) until I heard it mentioned on the radio around 8:15 am CT.  So since then, I've been thinking about what I could give up for Lent.  Hmmmmm... Boys? Nah?  That's something I really don't have …

getting over a guy in 10 days: is it really possible?

In some ways I'm proud of that chapter. I fought for love. I had poison ivy. You know, I lost, but I really fought. (Addison, Private Practice.) I knew I had to get over him so when the cute, movie-inspired idea of getting over a guy in 10 days popped into my mind, I really …

getting over a guy in 10 days: day 10

Sunday, November 27, 2011: The 10th day of getting over "Cleveland" Truthfully, I think I said most of what I needed to say in the post written earlier today, though I do need to check in on Day 10 and note that I'm still standing.  Actually I'm feeling the best I have in the last …

getting over a guy in 10 days: day 9

Saturday, November 26, 2011: The 9th day of getting over “Cleveland”. Last week my friend, Katy, told me, "Don't forget to let yourself feel."  While I knew she was right, I've been holding off on doing that because I was doing so well the first few days and feared that I would relapse if I …

getting over a guy in 10 days: day 8

Friday, November 25, 2011: The 8th day of getting over “Cleveland”. On day 8, she unfriended him on Facebook and erased the video she once posted to his wall.  It's better if he doesn't have any recollection of me, she thought.  That's a lie because I know he's never going to forget me, but I …

getting over a guy in 10 days: day 7

 Thursday, November 24, 2011: The 7th day of getting over “Cleveland”. I'm disappointed that I have to write this post, but I made a promise (mostly to myself) that I would track these 10 days during my pact to get over the guy I refer to as "Cleveland".  After doing so well for the first …

getting over a guy in 10 days: day 6

Wednesday, November 23, 2011: The 6th day of getting over “Cleveland”. Lately I've been numb when thinking about "Cleveland".  I haven't smiled in remembrance of our moments together, nor have I craved his touch as I once did.  I haven't thought about kissing him...until last night.  For some reason, I tossed and turned last night …

getting over a guy in 10 days: day 5

Tuesday, November 22, 2011: The 5th day of getting over “Cleveland”. After last night's little incident & revelation, I woke up this morning and deleted that last email from "Cleveland".  I'll admit to reading through it before hitting 'delete', but also must say that I read it without any emotion.  Am I already over him?  Did it only take 5 …

getting over a guy in 10 days: day 4

Monday, November 21, 2011: The 4th day of getting over “Cleveland”. After a day stuck in the house battling a cold- or whatever it was- I jumped on the bus in an attempt to give a 3-hour class a try.  Within the 5-minute walk to the bus stop, I knew it wasn't going to happen.  (Darn cold.)  However, …
