During my ‘time down’ my roommates recommended a meeting with a certain gentleman. I was reluctant; I was pretty looped out on meds. To meet someone new, to try to create a foundation, to try to see him for who he truly is and what he can truly become … I didn’t know if I was able. But they were confident that I would find something so brand new, so joyous in this new relationship. Yes, I initially was hesitant and felt guilty (shocking that I would have any feelings of guilt!). I had someone that I was dedicated to … I knew I was walking on ice. I had made myself a promise after I returned from my mission: ONLY ONE. I could not waste time on more than that … I needed to keep myself disciplined and dedicated.
But I was tired of HIM. I was tired of the back and forth of the whole situation. What was he thinking? Was he moving forward? Was he just playing with the heart? I needed a break. I convinced myself that it was merely that ~ a break. I would return, with a full heart and appreciation for what I have. I began the ‘detour’…
… However, after two weeks I’ve made the ultimate life-altering decision. I’m not getting back on that other well-worn path. I’m done.
I am a little bit in love with John Krasinski. I openly admit that, especially after last night.
I know, I know … what about Patrick? McDreamy?

Here’s what happened … Jim steps in and is very honest – all season 1 McDreamy hides the truth. He gives no false hopes – season 2 finale only to take himself away four episodes into season 3. He offers no empty promises – it’s not all gravy McDreamy! He does not have test after test to pass – Chief? House? He speaks his mind – not just gazing from across the operating room.

Thursday nights at 8 Mountain Standard Time my ‘ONE TV TIME SLOT’ for my life is being replaced by John/Jim, Jenna/Pam. It gives hope. It lets you laugh one minute, scream with frustration at Michael the next, then you’ll wipe a tear away as he looks right at you and says, “I’m not kidding, I got it a week after we started dating.”

Okay … seriously (a fall back to my Greys), I love the OFFICE. My horrible addiction to the not-so-uplifting-adultery-filled-McDreamy-show has been replaced with my addiction to the fabulous-funny-laugh-cry-laugh-laugh-laugh-Jim-Pam-dinner-on-the-roof-‘hi’-faces-smirks-desk-moving-filled SHOW!
Just thought I’d make this public knowledge.
