The trials and tribulations of dating...

Wednesday last week was internet date #2.  We decided to meet after my workout at this place called Watson's.  It's on his way home from work and near my house.  I was running a little late because my trainer wanted to beat me up a little before I went!  So I showed up about 15 minutes late, but let him know I was running behind.  Jessica and I have been talking about him for a few days and we just started calling him "Handsome".  Turns out...he really is!  We had a good time.  We talked for about 2 hours...no awkward pauses, no uncomfortable situations at all.  When we were done.  It was great.  I told him that I had never been on an internet #2 to with anyone, and neither has he.  By the time I got home he has texted and wanted to know when we could meet again.  We tried to meet up Thursday for lunch, but work had me busy.  But Friday worked out for both of us.  Again...we had a great little lunch.  I was way more nervous this time because it was DATE 2!!!  UGH...so much pressure!  We were going to try to meet up on Sunday, but time just did not permit.  We'll see if date 3 ever really happens!!!

Water for Elephants has been Zapped!!!

So I finished this book at while back and I never told anyone what I thought of it.  Over all, it was ok.  I guessed 1/2 way thru how it was going to end.  I wanted to hurry and read it before the movie comes out.  I think that it will be interesting to see the movie as compared to the book...but really, that's all that kept me reading this book. 

Now...I am reading a book that sorta scares me and I have a hard time reading it.  It's called "Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution".  I am easily freaked out by things.  I sorta live by Scarlett O'Hara's motto, “Fiddle-dee-dee!  I won’t worry about that today.  I’ll worry about that tomorrow.  After all, tomorrow is another day!”  But I have been going to the gym, working out with my trainer, taking my vitamins and shopping at Whole Foods lately...all in an effort to live a healthier life for both me and Austin.  So I figured, I'll read this, I use my cell phone as my alarm clock, what's so wrong with that?!  UMMM...APPARENTLY A LOT!!!!  Just kidding...it's not that bad, the book does get me thinking about what small steps I can take to make my life simpler.  It's an ok read...I am only about 2 chapters in, so I will fill you in once I am done!

adventures....

Again...It's been a while since I updated.  Most of March I was working at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.  And most recently Ausitn has been occupying a lot of my time.  Seems like too much happens and I can't update!

I recently started dating.  It's been....ummmmmm...Interesting.  I have joined an online dating site...and I'm just having fun so far.  Some of these guys are pushy, but I weed them out and I have 2 dates this week and one under my belt already.  Date 1 was a little awkward since I seemed to know 1/2 of everyone in the restaurant.  It was rather humerous!

My dad started radiation last week...and seems to be doign very well so far.  Luke is transitioning back to his parent's and that has been very hard.

Austin is gearing up for summer....so as I am trying to keep his mind on school work, I still have to ask him his plans for summer.  So, needless to say, he's got a bit of Spring Fever lately! 

I'll write back with more info after my date tomorrow! HA
