I know I've been away for a few days. I've been incredibly busy & have been going through some things.
I've got myself involved in one of my other major interets, politics. In Southern Alabama, Pete Riehm is running for Congress. We are looking to get Congress Jo Bonner unseated because of his dismal voting record. I've volunteered to be part of his camapign staff. I've been doing a good bit of data entry & coming up in a couple of days, I'll be helping out at a local pecan festival. Tonight I'm going to a speaking engagement also. I've been helping to set up signs & volunteered to be a sign distributor. I've been doing this in addition to my main job.
In addition, I signed up for the Mobile County Citizen's Academy which allows people in Mobile County to find out what goes on behind the scenes in each area of the county. They only meet once a month. I've been seriously considering the possibility of running for an office in future upcoming elections. The only catch is, I don't know as much about certain areas, so this is my way of trying learn & soak up what's going on.
All that stuff has been keeping me & my mind busy. I'm trying to "get myself back on the horse" since my girlfriend broke up with me. There's another woman that has been on my mind so much that I haven't been able to sleep at night. I think I've just been nervous about talking to her. The only time I see her is at church. In a way she's like me considering that she also like politics & seems to share my passion. She seems to be kind of old fashioned, which is okay with me. I don't think she watches TV or even has the internet. I tried seeing if she was on Facebook, but didn't find anything. When I first saw her, my first thought was she had to be 19 or 20 (which is too young for me), but after doing a couple of searches, I found out that she's 28 years old, which puts her within my age range.
At all costs, I'm prepared to ask her out to dinner after church this Sunday. I guess the butterflies will continue to swirl around in my stomach until then. I'm more comfortable talking to a group of people, but when it comes to talking 1-on-1 with someone I barely know, its very nerve racking. I'll keep everyone posted on how things turn out.
