Love story continues:
When you are not used to sleeping next to someone, sharing a bed can sometimes be a little strange especially when you are sharing a bed with a male friend. Joel and I came back to the motel and decided to hit the sack. We were exhausted from the long drive and the meeting with the crew about tomorrow morning’s shoot lasted a lot longer then we had anticipated.

I lay in bed that night and just took stock of what had happened over the last few years. I was just so angry with life. I could not believe that I had recently ended a 10 year relationship with a man who just could not get off the pot. He was my first love and I waited for him to grow up and it just never happened. It was a very hard lesson to learn and cost me a lot both mentally an emotionally. It took my brother’s death for me to finally wake up and understand that life is too short and that you can’t change people.

I also thought about the alone time I had after the break up and how important it is to have great girlfriends who you can just go out and be crazy with. I have four girlfriends in my life that are near and dear to me, without them I would not be sane. I had many nights out until 4am, multiple martinis, and eventually bumped into a few men who I dated. It wasn’t easy to date, I mean I had been in a relationship for my entire 20’s and had no idea what to expect. All I can say is that it is tuff out there. That is why I loved being in LA and with Joel on this trip. It was yet another opportunity to just be. To focus on nothing serious and enjoy what tomorrow may bring.

I started to drift off to sleep with my thoughts when suddenly Joel startled me with his snoring. Needless to say my 5am wake-up call came far too early for me.
