Re: dating Chip--Peggy

Peggy:

Your name is Peggy, right? If not, please pardon the error.

I had my surgery on June 3, 2003 so I'm 2.5 years out. and I

had our surgeries around the same time, and we've found it amazing that

while I lives are so different in many aspects, our minds, bodies and

spirits have gone through many parallel experiences, milestones,

sorrows and joys.

Last night I met Chip at his hotel (he lives in LA but works in San

Francisco M-Th, and he's moving to SF in April), and I brought him this

white chocolate chip macadamia nut fudge from " Z. Cioccolato--the

sweetest place in North Beach. " I told him I bought the white

chocolate chip fudge because it reminded me of him. Luckily he loved

it, and he thought it was cute that I bought it thinking of him--he's

6'2, blonde/silver white hair, blue-eyes, so his coloring is really

like a white chocolate chip (I crack myself up... he he he).

It was a really nice time, just relaxing in his arms, watching TV. I'm

only 5'8 " so Chip's a bit taller than me. I felt so comfortable that I

almost fell asleep. It was cozy and warm, but we were both really

tired, and it was a " school night " so I left at about 9:15 PM.

I don't know where things are going with Chip, but yes, I've decided

that I won't be dating any other guys (I feel bad for Steve, but it's

just too much to date more than one at a time. For a while, I dated as

many as five guys at a time (date, not sleep with). Yikes!

The thing is... I haven't told Chip about my surgery yet. I don't know

how I'm going to bring it up, but I have to do it soon because the

longer I wait, the more pressure there is to tell it, if that makes

sense.

Thanks for your kind words.

your strength!!
