She's BACK

Okay blogworld...I have gotten several are you okay emails from my readers so I figured I should update you all on the world of Deb.

Things are going quite well. I am still not working out every day like I should. I don't know what it's going to take for me to work out...perhaps if i got to eat ice cream after every 30 minute walk I would be more inclined to...what do you guys think??? Great idea isn't it?

My health over all is doing MUCH better. Sugars are still a bit high..but usually around 180 at the highest. Still not in perfect control...but no major damage is being done either. My digestive issues are also doing significantly better. I can not handle any raw veggies or fruits however if they are very well cooked I do just fine. Fortunately the apples in apple pie are indeed well cooked. ;D. Splenda is a wonderful thing too.

Now.... last I checked in with everybody.....Jim and I were going camping. Well...what a weekend THAT was. I hired my 16 year old friend Suzy to watch my house and Rafiqe. I told her she could have friends over if she wanted to but no drugs no smoking no drinking no sex in my bed. She assured me she would never dream of doing these things (::::snort::::shoulda known better!)

Jim decided not to go camping after all....so I spent the weekend at his place. Saturday night he told me that I was everything he wanted when he made the checklist of what he wants in a girl except that he's just not attracted to me. So I decide that since he doesn't want me I should prolly not spend the night with him and I come home at about 1 am.

I walk up to my front door where the music isn't too loud....and there are 8 16ish agers in my living room drunk. DRUNK in my living room! Nice! So I got to play evil rule enforcer and call parents and so on and so fourth. Suzy hasn't talked to me since. I've tried to get her to talk to me...but her mom finally told me she doesn't want to spend time with me anymore because I've left her life once and she doesn't want to have to deal with abandonment issues again. That hurt...but it's her choice....I made it clear I wanted to be back in her life.

I do owe her one though....cause since I had to come home to that I healed from Jim not wanting me pretty quickly. Since I really believed God brought Jim into my life to have and to hold...that kinda thing....FOREVER I was a little on the miffed side with God too.

I have to say being miffed at God is just not productive. I have learned that before but apparently my memory is less than wonderful because I forgot what a fruitless thing it is to throw temper tantrums when it comes to Him.

After a week of being ticked off at God for bringing Jim into my life only to have my hopes for a normal relationship and a normal committed life dashed completely.....Jim's best friend Rob calls me up and tells me that he needs me to go to the ER with him because he feels BAD! I go to his house...take his sugar...584...NICE no wonder he feels so bad eh?

I take him to ER. We sit in ER and talk and talk. I have no idea what is about to happen since I was busy throwing a fit.

Saturday we talk and I realize that he is seriously wanting to date me. I do mean seriously here. I am like no no no JIM is supposed to be the one i live happily ever after with! Rob says Deb have you ever thought God brought Jim into your life so you'd meet me, marry me and live happily ever after with ME?

:::::Stunned silence:::::::


I, Debra Gail Cooper was speechless. Mark your calendar folks!

We are now dating. One would think it's very weird to date the best friend of the one you thought was the ONE. Actually it is weird but oh well I am weird too. The difference in the way Rob treats me versus the way every other man I've ever dated is amazing.

He cooks for me people. HE COOKS! He is diabetic also and so he cooks foods I can eat. He is fixing things in my apartment for me and because he is doing that I got 400 bucks off my deposit. My mom likes him....my dad likes him...my friends like him. The only people who haven't met him are my sister and her husband. His mom likes me!

Oh and we seem to have adopted a black lab. She's the perfect dog. She's pretty much just like my Hanzy (the lab terrier mix that Booda the pitbull ate). Her name is Sweet Pea. I am not loving the name but Hanzette didn't seem to work. LOL

Alrighty folks that is about all the updating I can do for the moment. I will write more later.
