Hey everyone,

How was your weekend? Do anything fun? Got any dates to report?

~~~

I had a very very busy weekend. I'm moving this coming weekend after living in the same place for a reeeeallly long time....so, I'm packing, running errands, and I also spent an inordinate amount of time and energy shopping for a new sofa this weekend (finally found one I loved, yay!)

Squeezed in a quick dinner date with the guy I've been dating -- we're at two months plus now, things seem to be going well

~~~

How about all of you? Let's hear about your weekend -- oh, and is anyone off today? It's Columbus Day today -- it's sort of a weird holiday, I think it's more confusing than anything...lol...I've overheard people asking "is there mail on Columbus Day?", "are banks open today?", "is Columbus Day a federal holiday"? I'm not sure anyone really knows what's going on! lol

I know *some* people were off today, traffic was relatively light and it was really easy to find a parking space today!

I had 2 pretty awful dates this weekend.
Dud#1 invited me to lunch but then i got the "so, how do you want to handle the check? split it between two cards of just give me your 1/2?" and forked over $12 (despite the fact that he invited me, picked the location, and i drove nearly 40 minutes to get there!)
Dud#2 has a FULL head of hair in his pics yet I arrived to a guy who had nearly a skinned head. Not that I am anti-bald guys, but there's that truth and honesty thing here. Post a pic of you buzzed and that is what I will expect. He paid for drinks (which put him above #1) but the incessant talking about his job and money made him less attractive.
I am not off to a wonderful start with eharmony needless to say

Lori-

Congrats on the move and the success with the guy! Sounds like the future looks good for you.
I worked all weekend, new show opened last week so busy busy week at the theatre. Squeezed in a few minutes Saturday between matinee and evening performances at the Bayou City art festival, dropped a chunk of change on some nice pieces. Very excited to get them hung - volunteers?

I got to save the day this weekend. *grin*

I also healed the sick, fed the hungry, and bought *four* new books.


And somehow my friends have finally stopped trying to set me up with the married lass that I met a week ago.

Life is good.

The guy I wanted to have a second date with was too busy with upcoming finals (and having been deathly ill, apparently--said he missed work & his clinicals, but feels better now), so we didn't meet this past weekend. Have tentative plans for the upcoming week. Hope he doesn't poof!

So, I spent my weekend in Memphis, as usual. Went on the 5th Annual Broad Avenue Art Walk, saw some awesome pieces (none of which I could afford...but maybe someday!) On Saturday, we celebrated my one friend's birthday--went to Bhan Thai for dinner, followed by cake & drinks back at the house, followed by Yosemite Sam's for karaoke, and then around 2am, a little place downtown for breakfast. Lots of fun.

Did nothing on Sunday. If all goes well, though, I'm starting a new job tonight--just part-time/temp work, but it's a paycheck!

Had a great date Saturday night and conquered a fear of haunted houses. Dinner and drinks at a new brewery with a few of his friends and lots of screams and laughs. Sunday night my sister and I took my parents to dinner for their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Then came home to check e-mails and have unexpected communication with the guy who totally broke my heart this summer. It was an enlightening conversation...

So the weekend was a definite improvement over losing my job last Thursday...

Saturday night had a great date with a fine young lass of 25. We shared some unique interests and otherwise carried on very well for ~4 hours at a cozy and trendy bar in the cool part of time. We agreed to a second date a few times throughout the evening.

However, I unexpectedly got the platonic one-armed hug and the "give me a call" line (despite saying earlier in the evening she hates speaking on the phone) as she got into the cab. My longish text after I got home about did you get home safe, I had a good time, look forward to seeing you again, etc., was answer with nothing but "sounds good!"

As can be predicted, my email from yesterday about future plans has thus far gone unanswered, despite the fact she logged in yesterday and today. She is kinda of an old soul and a reserved and smooth operator type, but all emails up to this point she responded to within 8 hours. It's now been almost 24 hours without a response, which is a mandatory deal breaker.

It was a great week/weekend. On Wednesday the guy I had been seeing for 5 weeks told me he had to cancel our plans for Thursday because his friends wanted to hang out with him. I already suspected we were on different wave lengths (as I have posted on the boards). As I am still single, I decided to go with an offer from a new guy I had been talking to. I told him I was single but that I had been seeing someone so I wasn't sure if I could go out with him. After being ditched I went out with the guy. I am so happy that I did. We connected in every way. I was at first concerned that he is a year younger than I am (I am 23, he is 22), but he seems more mature than the guy I was seeing who is a few years older.

Well our first date was unbelievable. Lasted near 12 hours! We just couldn't say goodbye. We had a second date Friday and a third date Saturday. I am not a big multi-dater so I have finally told guy #1 that we are just too different and I don't want to continue. I have a fourth date with guy #2 in a few hours. I know our dates have been pretty fast, but we don't care. The day after our first date he called and said "I know I am supposed to wait 3 days, but I don't want to". I am excited to see where this goes, but will make sure to not get ahead of myself.

All in all, great weekend!

Movie with my kids on Friday, hayride with my oldest daughter on Saturday and dinner/movie with my sis to celebrate our bdays on Sunday.

....................and spent all that time thinking about my plans for next weekend with the long distance guy. Everything seems too perfect right now so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop or him to poof. Why do we do this dating thing again???

Heh, I had a fun first meet up with someone. Hopefully I'll get to see her again soon.
