Wowzers!!

A LOT has happened since my last post!  I hosted a "pre Halloween" small gathering at my house. Halloween was AWESOME!  Had a great time with my friends and such.  Doc met me out later and we had a great time hanging out.  We spent the next afternoon together looking for sofa's (for him) and had a nice lunch at a local Thai place (I LOVE THAI!!). Since Halloween we have hung out a few times and I'm just on the fence. He seems really interested in me and came to meet my friends at a recent "Don't Fall Down before we Fall Back" party and most all of my favs.  He has met my friends in different stages and still wants to hang out. But I am not sure if it is his schedule, or if he is trying to juggle too many "dates" or if he is a dating retard.  He does things like makes plans, but then had a family emergency arise and then I didn't hear from him at all until MUCH later in the evening.  Then is super concerned that I am mad at him and what he can do to make me not mad.  The Cheerleader seems to think that he is just a dating retard and that it does not sound like he is trying to be a man whore...WHO KNOWS!!  I am honestly keeping my options open however; disappointed when things fall through with him or when I don't hear from him.  I am definitely NOT sitting around waiting for him to do...I AM SCHEDULED OUT until Sunday when I consider it my time!! 

I have been on a few other dates.  I went out with the Professor, who was interesting, but I just don't think my type.  And I have gone out with another young man.  But as luck has it, he also has a schedule that does not permit him being available during the week to hang out as he is often not in town at all.  Story of my Life!!

So I reverted back to the Ol Internet Dating Pool to see what new and interesting prospects await my attention...OH MY GOSH... I think it just keeps getting worse!!  If the guys are not hugged up on some other chicks in their profile picture, they are doing stupid things like: striking a GQ pose by a car (or truck I am not discriminating); kissing babies; holding up some sort of dead animal that they are proud of ranging from dead fish to dead deer, and bear.  I will say the all time favorite is the guys posing with their shirt off in their bathroom mirror.  These profile pictures say to me, this is NOT my car, but I wish it was. Yeah!!  I can procreate.  Look at me I am manly and can put food on the table (only if the woman prepares it and brings it to my lazyboy while I drink beer and watch Nascar). Or I have nothing better to do than work out and I have no friends to take pictures of me so I do it myself in the bathroom.  None of the above are what I am interested in dating unfortunately so I am at a standstill!!

Last weekend DSS and I went to see Charlotte!  We had a great weekend and danced, laughed, and hung out with new people.  Of course we always make friends along the way!  We watched the Hokies win against UNC at a place called Blackfinn and had a great time! 

My babies went to stay with the Ex and apparently had a great time.  But there is concern on the horizon.  There is some signs of diabetes with Daisy, so she has an appointment Friday with the Vet.  Fingers and toes crossed she is ok!!

This month is always particularly difficult for me.  It was the month my father was always the sickest, the month of his birthday as well as the month of his passing.  Yesterday was his birthday.  He would have been 60 years old.  It made me reflect on how my life has changed a lot in three years....I lost my father, six months later my sister (best friend) moved 5+ hours from me and in that same month my ex (my other bff) and I broke up.  It has been tough to swallow, and I still struggle with it.  But Cheers to my life, my friends, my family both those here and not!  I love you all!!

Now I am off to work on yet another event that is two days away!  I will be wearing a hot little dress that DSS says I can pull off (I am a skeptic) and maybe meet a nice man that is not from the Internet pool!!
