Today, right now, at this very moment, I just need to say Ugggggggggh!!!!!

More details later.

Ok, so, here is the deal. Just to not confuse people, because a friend of mine said I am contradicting myself…. Wanting passion to be romantic and intimate DOES NOT contradict my desire for it to be just friendly. Being romantic and intimate DOES NOT mean that I want him to start over-staying his welcome or anything like that. All it means is that, just because it is just raw animal sex, does not mean that it needs to be completely impersonal. Does that make sense? Maybe? I want a one-on-one relationship with a great friend who I can have great intimate moments with WITHOUT IT GETTING COMPLICATED!!!

I just turned 31 years old. I keep wondering if passion gets better as I get older, or if I just am getting better at picking the guys who do it right. Maybe a combination. hmmmm. Someday, I am going to spend a weekend with someone, at some bed and breakfast somewhere in the mountains, when it is a bit chilly outside, snow is falling all around, the fire is dancing in the fireplace, and, for an entire weekend, he and I are looking in eachothers eyes, gritting our teeth with sheer satisfaction, taking breaks now and then, laying in eachothers arms, napping for a while, room service brings us some food and wine, and we eat, and watch the fire dance, and go again, knocking it out again and again as the snow falls outside the window and I may not even know his last name. 🙂

Well, the move to Arizona went pretty smoothly. Do not have internet yet. There are no lines to my house for COX cable. They said that they need to dig up my driveway and put some lines in. Good thing is that they are covering the cost of that. The house is GREAT!!! I like it a lot. It is huge. More than twice the size of my last house in California, and for around the same price. Plus I have a pool and a huge yard. Traffic here is so great. Does not make me miss California at all. I can drive the speed limit. Amazing!! No more 5mph bumper to bumper for me. The people here are great. I love my new job. If you want to check out where I am working, go to rhino. I am going to be doing perl, java, oracle, etc. So far, I do not miss school at all. Everyone asks if I will ever go for my masters. Right now, I really do not think so. Too much stress. And in my field, experience and knowledge are the key factors. I learn a lot on my own.

I GRADUATED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!  Now I am on with my life.

Photos are here.

Working on a java plug-in for accepting and authenticating digital signatures.  Pretty cool.  Learning a bunch.  Still more to learn.  11 more days!!!

Going to Phoenix this weekend.  Leaving Thursday evening.  I have a few houses to look at and a few businesses to stop at and a few people to meet and talk to about my future.  My future is just around the corner.  I can see it winking at me.

Today was a great day!!! Happy mothers day to all moms out there. Today, I put aside all my homework and work and decided to see what it was like to just have a fun relaxing day with my kids. Amazing how well behaved they can be when they get some extra attention from me. I could not believe it. The most mannerly, well-behaved, sweet kids any mom could ever hope for. It gives me such a wonderful feeling about the near future. When I am done with school, time that was always devoted to homework will now go directly to my children. What a wonderul future I have to look forward to. I will have a degree, and the satisfaction of knowing that I earned it, and I can thank my children every day for being patient and understanding during those 5 1/2 years of our lives that I went to school. And my thanks to my kids will be to give them all the attention they deserve now that I will have it all to give.

Well, I had a pretty exciting couple of days. Finally found the house that I am considering moving into in Phoenix, the project that I have been working on for the Airforce Base in Japan is almost completed and is on its way to Japan, a bunch of school stuff is finished and my team and I gave our presentation today on JavaSpaces, and an article I wrote, along with my picture was published today at www.no-ip.com/tips.php. Go check it out. School is almost finished (only 23 more days), and my life is about to start. Look out world, here comes Cheryl!

Ah.  I am in the home stretch now.  What a relief.  Soon, I will be able to put more exciting entries here.  I am sure you are all sick of hearing me longing for graduation.  But it is sooooooooo exciting.  Me.  The girl who could never finish anything is now about to graduate.  Yeah!!!!  Be sure to check back after graduation for tons of pictures of me with my big graduation grin and stuff.
