As much as I love my nephew & am looking forward to nephew #2, I am definitely not ready for kids, you guys. ;)
I had a lovely visit from my parents & nephew on Saturday, while my sister & her husband were in Maine celebrating their anniversary. However, Thing 1 was tired at dinner (at the Portsmouth Brewery) & he was a little crazy. I'm ashamed to admit that I got a little frustrated, especially when chasing crayons all over the table made me elbow my pint glass & spill a quarter of my Octoberfest.
Yes, I love him, but I am happy to be an auntie for now. ;)
However, on the bus on the way home from campus today, I saw something that made me realize that I am ready to be with someone seriously again. A couple was sitting side by side under a tree on a hillside & throwing a ball for their golden retriever to fetch. They looked happy.
I miss that kind of thing. Both of my exes shared my desire to explore the world "off the beaten path." Therefore, I spent a lot of time over the last three years tramping around outdoors: taking pictures, going on long walks, and exploring historic sites.
I'd like to have that again, please. Don't know to what romance authority I'd need to speak, but let's see what can be done, hmm?

Auntie is great. All the best bits and none of the bad. .
