Hey everyone!

How was your holiday weekend? Anything "memorable" to report? Dates, get-togethers, etc?

~~~

I had a very fun weekend. On Saturday night I went ghost hunting with some friends, just for fun (they're really into it and I'd never gone). We went to a cemetery in Ojai. It was a very different experience than I expected it to be, more introspective and peaceful than spooky/adventurous. The cemetery we were in was an older one, with the vast majority of the people buried there in the 1800's and first half of the 1900's. We were very respectful, and really just moved around the grounds sitting on various benches that are there, talking about what the lives of the people buried there might have been like, how they might have died. Though my friends had recording equipment, even upon later review of the audio/video tapes, there was nothing spooky to report in the least but it was a really interesting and unique experience.

The next day I went to a fancy schmancy tea in Beverly Hills to celebrate my friend's birthday, after which time we went to the movies. We saw Sex and the City II, which, while not a great movie by any stretch, is definitely fun if you enjoyed the show and the first movie.

Then, yesterday I leased a new car (got a GREAT deal!) and sold my old one to one of my closest friends, whose car just died. He got a *really* good deal but then again so did I on my lease so it was one of those awesome win/win situations. I also visited some friends and spend the afternoon playing with their ADORABLE 7 mo. old baby, who is already crawling and who is seriously THE smiliest baby I have ever seen.

No dating activity in the least on my part, but it was still a terrific weekend!

How about you?

No long weekend here - we had ours last weekend (Victoria Day rather than Memorial Day) - and it rained for most of the weekend. Even snowed a bit on Saturday morning! But it was still a very nice weekend.

Had dinner with my parents on Friday night. That's our tradition if I don't have other plans.

On Saturday, I had a second date. A very nice second date. He drove down to my town (~2 hour drive) and we went for a long walk around the lake since it had managed to stop raining. Then we went for sushi. I am very happy that he likes sushi since I cannot get my friends/family to the Japanese restaurant no matter how many different non-raw-fish items I show them. Then we went back to my place for tea. (Neither of us drinks coffee.) So, there was about five hours or so of conversation and we never ran out of things to talk about. We also had our first kiss, and there is very definitely chemistry there. Heck, I'm still kind of giddy!

He called me last night and we talked on the phone for almost an hour. He's going to call me again later this week. The only bad thing is that he's out of town next week so it'll be at least two weeks 'till I get to see him again.

Let's see, plans to go to the lake fell through. My check failed to arrive, so I was stuck at home all weekend. I did bake a second batch of Orange Cranberry Scones. They were slightly better than the first batch, I think I have one ingredient I can adjust to make them better.

I did get asked out for breakfast Sunday morning, but declined (for my money reasons) and suggested something later in the week. We kept each other company via e-mail all weekend.

I had a good long weekend. On Saturday night the weather was much better than it was supposed to be, so instead of the original plans of seeing Sex and the City we went out to dinner and walked around. She earned some points as we went do dinner while the Flyers were playing and picked a table where I was facing a nice big screen HDTV so I could keep an eye on what is going on in the game.

That night I slept over at her place for the first time. Single beds are not made for sleepovers, but we made it work.

We both spent Memorial Day with our families. During dinner my parents mentioned how tired I was and asked what time I got home. I sheepishly said 10:30 which they knew wasn't PM. It was really quiet then my dad toasted me and said "good job". My gf got a big laugh when I told her about that.

Yesterday she wanted to go to the beach, which in a way was a bit of a disaster. She didn't prepare ahead of time, so by the time she was ready to go it was around 2 in the afternoon which over an hour of a drive ahead of us. When we got to the beach she said she was hungry and went to go and get a wrap. She took at least an hour because she decided to eat it there instead of coming back with it, and the sun disappeared behind the clouds two minutes before she got back. She was determined to get some sun though, as despite shivering we waited it out before the sun disappeared again this time to rain.

We took the ride back and showered up and went to dinner. It was a fun weekend, but I'm kind of glad to be back at work, as I'll probably get more rest!

Family, friends, the ocean and warm sunny weather made for a wonderful weekend.
No dates but I did receive 5 requests to initiate communication with new matches over the weekend. Typically, I only receive one or two a month, makes you feel like a celebrity.

All in all, just a positive weekend and a great start to the week so far.

Ugh glad some of you had a better weekend than I did. Satruday my date bailed via text message and a good friend passed suddenly the same day after a long battle with cancer.

That put a damper on things...but I did get another lady to confirm her interest for a date via email and a communication request from another match. So not a total loss, but my friends death really hit me hard.

Gotta roll with the punches!

I had a date scheduled for Sunday, but he called Saturday night to hem and haw around for 45 minutes trying to get me to cancel. At least that's my interpretation now. At first I really did think that he wanted reassurance that it didn't matter that much to me that he wasn't rich and since he was still working, wouldn't be in a position to provide the trips to Europe and the like that some of the other retired guys he suspected I was dating might be able to provide. Even at that point, though, the thought crossed my mind, "Faint heart never won fair lady." At any rate, we called off the date.

No matter. I have a date with a man who knows how to romance a woman on Thursday. And, though he is romantic as all get out, he is also direct. I'll never have to guess what he is trying to say.

Worked all weekend, had Monday off which I spent with my daughter. Monday night learned that a dear friend from back home in AL passed away suddenly at the age of 44 - heart failure during a minor surgical procedure. His partner called me, and I spent hours on the phone notifying old theatre friends - not a great way to end the day.
