Drops of Jupiter
Dear Diary,
I watched a little bit of the Grammys tonight. But to be honest it just wasnt catching my attention as usual. I did watch Train sing Drops of Jupiter. I did like the song but as with any song, its overplayed on local radio so much you cant stand to hear it anymore. But I started to think about this song tonight. Why? Well early last year, the boyfriend said it made him think of me and was sort of his song for me. 🙂 So I just listened to the lyrics again. And at that time we had dated, then i had broke it off, then attempted with Ex again and all that drama. And I just think of the song….
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there
Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s time to grow, hey, hey
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol’ Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Boyfriend new I had a lot to learn for myself. Even when we were apart he was still there for me as a special friend last year. I had my time out there, my time to see what direction I was going in, trying to iron out some of my pathways and decisions and make peace within my heart with accepting my marriage was over. And I missed that man during my entire journey. And Wow, look at where we are right now? I cannot tell you how many times I hear stories from others about someone dating someone and then goes back to their Ex and the love affair is just that and never becomes much more. But here Boyfriend and I are now. 🙂
I talked earlier online to Boyfriends Roomie. She is a really cool woman and I really like her and am so glad boyfriend has a home with her. She rents to him out of her place. Well I had put in word to my employers about her catering for a big work party coming up. So they are really interested, and the place she works for is Boyfriend and Is favorite dinner spot. I had totally forgotten they were opening another restaraunt at the mall! So she tells me tonight “Hey wanna go with me to the practice opening dinner on Friday?” Im like ohh how fun! I really wanna go! Its Friday night about 45 min away from here. She has a 16 yr old daughter and always tells me she can babysit for me. But its the whole idea of keeping the boyfriend separate at this time and that whole mixture. So I told her I needed to talk to boyfriend. I think he works that night and wont be home anyways, but I dont wanna do something he is uncool with. I have had such a pain in the butt dilemma with finding a babysitter and this person is screaming to always watch my kids. haha when we finally do come out with the children about us, we will have it made with a sitter right there. 🙂 But I really am going to try and go friday. Good food, and she said shes trying to make it a girls night and invite a few ladies.
She also talked to me about the man she is dating, she had told me she is falling in love. 🙂 And the guy is same age as my Boyfriend, She is about 39 or 40 I believe. And she said she hasnt felt like this since her husband( who was killed in an accident many many years ago) She shared with me this poem he wrote her and it was so sweet. We then talked about my Boyfriend. About his mother and how he never went home for holidays and he just worked and was there at her house. She said “I felt so bad for him, Im glad he was at least here and had us, but Its still sad” She then said to me “You are good for him, I can see it” aweeeee. We all went out on a double date to a Brazilian concert last year and sat and ate fancy foods and drank wine together with her, boyfriend and I. It was a nice eve out, I rememeber standing outside the Rose Bowl theatre with my arms around him, and just the security and warmth I felt with him, and how we felt like this cultured little couple out for the eve. 🙂
Oh and I got a day off from work next week! So Boyfriend and I can go to the musuem and spend all day together!!! I cant wait, pray things go well and plans dont get intercepted.
Oh Boyfriend just got in from work and signed on. He had hidden some notes in my bedroom when he was last here and I found another one today in a cupboard. I just told him I found it. Hes all “Which one?” Im like huh? theres more? Cause this is the 3rd one now. He replied “Go give Snoopy a kiss” I got up and ran to my room where the little Snoopy animal he gave me sits. And picked him up to find a note that says
“Hi, Just leavin a random little note to say Hello and remind ya that I love you. You really are wonderful. Thank you for being a part of my life, Love ya Lots”
:::wiping tears from eyes:::
Ok Im gonna go talk to him now, 🙂
