'So kiss me and smile for me,

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go'

Trust

OK, its quiet, its freezing, I'm curled in bed and of course my mind is going to this date on Saturday. I spent most of last night and spasmodically throughout the day talking to the potential datee (not sure that's a word..laugh) & he sounds a hell of a nice guy.

I still cant get past the distance thing (as it requires a hell of a lot of understanding and trust) which had me reflecting on baggage I may have. I thought, mmmm maybe a little but the closer it gets to Saturday, the larger the baggage seems, possibly a 16 peice set of Lois Vuitton travel sized luggage! I hadn't realised, nor probably was game to look at the insecurities I'd gathered before.

This whole dating thing, leaves me insecure (not a feeling I like or am used to) unsure of myself. I'm aware the past relationship I had has left me trust issues. Its all well and good to say you dont have baggage but how do you not take a thing like broken trust into the next relationship. How do you just forget and move on. If I go back to the 100% naively trusting woman I was does that leave me open to being hurt again.

Was C. a one off. Did I just happen to snag the one self centred, ageing Lothario out there. Was it my naivety and trust that drew his attention in the first place. Are there guys who prey on women, especially on the Internet. Was I too open & trusting. Was the fact i lived 4hrs away a bonus to him. He may have been unfaithful but did I leave myself vulnerable to that?

Believe me, this man seems nothing like C. and I'm possibly self-sabotaging here & if I do may screw up something that has the potential to be awesome (did I mention he is a Capricorn..:) he also makes me smile and laugh alot, which is something C. never did. Actually he is so unlike him and seems so genuine that it makes me so scared to mess it up. Maybe he's also staring at the roof wondering these things, maybe he's as nervous as I. God its going to be a long week... :)

Artist: Dale Chihuly,Seattle, Washington

For over 30 years, artist Dale Chihuly has dazzled critics and international audiences with his translucent art. He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study the art of glass blowing at the Venini factoryin Venice. And in 1995, his project "Chihuly over Venice" featured glass sculptures above the canals and piazze of Venice. In 1999, over one million visitors attended the Tower of David Museum to view his exhibition "Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem". His work is included in more than 200 museum collections worldwide, and has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards.

The Seaform Pavilion is a 50 feet by 20 feet plate-glass ceiling filled with 2,364 sculpted glass objects from Chihuly’s Seaform and Persian series. The ceiling extends over most of the Chihuly Bridge of Glass, above the Museum of Glass.
With wild hair and a black patch over one eye, Chihuly looks a bit like a pirate. The eye patch isn’t just for dramatic flair, though; Chihuly is blind in his left eye. The injury resulted from a 1976 car accident in England, after which he underwent 256 stitches in his face. While bodysurfing just 3 years after his car accident, Chihuly dislocated his shoulder; he hasn’t blown glass since. Chihuly himself no longer blows the glass or sculpts it; he has an army of artists working for him. He does, however, sign every piece, and has stated that production will cease when he’s no longer able to sign.
