I won't bore you with the details, but we went from one date to two dates to three dates to committed relationship (it's a lesbian thing.) And then... to break up, and then to back together, and then to break up again.... (definitely a lesbian thing) and finally, back together without an end in sight :).
Someone, *cough* Mimi *cough*, had a kind of Cinderella life... inattentive father, over-focused mother, step-siblings (some disguised as friends), and spent virtually all her time "cleaning up" after everyone else. Anywho, apparently I didn't deserve to have to endure all of that drama, so I got left... a couple times. But if the shoe fits, it fits, and back she came :). It has been... an adventure since. After Cinderella snuck away from the dungeon they sent out the cavalry to find her and it wasn't pretty. We played hide-and-seek from the internet and life, even ran away to Ohio for a few days to wait until the dogs were called off. But, as most fairy tales do, this one seems to be headed towards a happy ending. (I've even met with the mother and lived to tell about it!)
But the great thing about my Cinderella, is I think I'm her Cinderella too :). I'll have to leave her to tell that story, but maybe that's what's been missing in the fairy tale all along... maybe Cinderella was really just waiting for her princess :).
There's a line, from "I Can't Think Straight" (which you should check out if you haven't seen it already) that I've always thought was beautiful, but never really understood-- "I want to be with someone ten years from now makes my heart jump when I hear her key in the door." I understand now.
And just for fun: My Cinderella fitting a white polar bear-slipper on my stubborn foot :)
