My phone alerted me to a text message.
It could have been any one of a bunch of different people...but it was Stewart. And damn it, I got excited. Like "hey kids, do you want ice cream for lunch?" kind of giddy. It's been quite a while since I felt that kind of butterflies in my stomach excitement. And recognizing the triumphant return of that feeling made me ever giddier.
We had a skype date tonight and we talked about my trip to El Paso for the Army Ball. I'm super excited, but I would like to point out that El Paso is the most cluster-fucked place in the continental US to get to. Seriously. But you know what, it doesn't matter. I'll figure it out, and I'll get there by plane, train, or donkey as the case may be. We have some big plans for that weekend and I'm not missing them. I like that he's making me smile...and I like that I'm making him smile...and I'm just enjoying that and not looking ahead.
Well, maybe a little ahead, because I DO need a dress for the ball... ;)
