Crazy winter weather here! I got snowed in last week up in New York. I went to my dance class Tuesday night and the weather sounded hazardous so I decided to stay over at Jennifer's apartment in Brooklyn. Well, I ended up staying there until Friday afternoon. We made the most of it. We baked cookies and watched movies. Jennifer is newly single so we made a big lasagna on Wednesday night and invited her cute neighbors over for dinner. I don't know if Jen is interested in either of them, but we had a great time.

On Friday I made my way home. Natalie and Jason met me at the train station and helped me clear all the snow off my car. Jason tried to talk to me about Josh but I told him that it's not a topic for discussion. The best thing for me is a clean break, and it's been working. I'm not sitting around feeling bad about things. Even on Valentine's Day I wasn't sitting around thinking about him.

I've been spending a lot of time with Mark, but we're in agreement that it's just a friendship. He's dealing with a loss and I'm recovering from a breakup. There's no room for romance right now and that's fine. I just like being with him. He has no connection to Josh and I feel alive when I'm with him. He's kind of like my Jacob. I just read "New Moon" and while I'm not depressed like Bella was, I can relate to how hurt she was. When I see Mark I feel better. It feels like a weight is lifted. And I think I help him too. I know what he's going through and I constantly reassure him that it's normal.

So that's life in a nutshell. Today I'm back at the dance studio. It's been a quiet day. I guess people are doing other things since it's President's Day.
