Coffee, Dancing and a Tattoo!

It's already Wednesday and I'm just getting around to posting about my weekend, I suck! :)

So, Friday night I went and had dinner with Escort and we went for coffee at Brazil. We had a good time, but there is not really much to report about Friday night. I don't know why I felt compelled to write about it, but there you go...Dinner and coffee.

Saturday, I pretty much spent the day trying to pick up my house. Then at around 3p I started getting ready for the Passion Party. Have I told you how much I love those parties??? They are awesome! I asked the lady to send my information about becoming a consultant. I could SOOO do that job! Sadly, I have not received the info. So, if I do start selling this stuff...you all need to have a party! I am not going to tell you what items I purchased, because my mom reads this, and you probably don't want to know anyway.

So, after the party I met Hook-Up at a restaurant on Nasa Pkwy called Las Haciendes. (I don't know if I spelled that right or not.) Anyway, we talked and drank and everything was going very well. At around 9p the restaurant started moving tables around and we found out that they have a live salsa band that plays there on Saturday nights and they move the tables so people can dance. While we were there, we discussed how neither one of us could salsa. But, somehow, the subject of Tejano dancing came up. When I told him that that was the first partner dancing I learned how to do, he didn't believe me. So, I told him let's leave and go to this bar down Hwy 3 that plays Tejano music and I would prove him wrong. And that is exactly what i did. This white girl can Tejano dance with the best of them! I was swinging my hips, and spinning on the dance floor like I dance like that every weekend, and I was in stilleto heels too. he was very impressed with my dancing abilities. (And, not to toot my own horn, but I was impressed with myself for remembering how to do it!) Anyway, all in all it was a great date! i had so much fun...until the next morning and realized how painful it was to walk. I am not joking! As I mentioned before, it had been a long time since I had danced like that (maybe 10 years) and as I mentioned I was swinging my hips. My hips have hurt so bad, that I've have been gimping around since Sunday. This morning was the first time I didn't say, "Ow, Ow, Ow" when I get up and start walking. I think I need to go dance like that 2-3 times a week, surely I will lose inches. Hook-Up did tell me something that made me wonder...He said, "Wow, you are nothing like I thought you were going to be." I said, "What do you mean?" And he said, "I thought you were going to be 'Uppity.' What??? Those of you who know me...would you think I'm 'uppity'? Please let me know, because if I come across that way...that might be something I need to work on.

So, Sunday I was in bed sleeping and Doodlebug called me. She said she wanted a tattoo and asked if I would go with her. Of course I was hung over, but I love Doodlebug and if she needed me there to hold her hand...I was going to be there! (Plus, I love watching people get tattoos.) So, I called Escort and asked if his friends shop was going to be open on a Sunday. Luckily, the shop was open and off Doodlebug and I went. The name of the shop was Amazing Tattoos on Richmond and the artist's name was Dustin. He was very nice, he didn't seem to get irritated with me or Doodlebug. You're probably wondering why he would get irritated with us...well, I kept asking what different things were for, Doodlebug was on the verge of freaking out because it was her first tatttoo and didn't know what to expect, I was snapping pictures of the before, during, after, and a shot of Doodle and the artist. If I was him, I would probably be ready to choke the shit out of us. The tattoo looks AWESOME, I am so glad that I was there. Once we got back to the house of Doodlebug and Movie Buff, we sat down ate some pizza and watched the Oscars.

So, as you can tell, I had a GREAT weekend. Hook-Up and I are going to the rodeo tomorrow, so I will let you know how it goes.

Until next time...

Oysters, Beer and the Doctor

Well, I went out with Doctor last night. We had a really good time. We went to this place in Galveston called The Oyster Bar and Grill. It was a very cozy little hole in the wall. We each ordered Oysters Rockafeller and a couple of pints of Shiner. HE IS HILARIOUS!!! So, we ate and talked for a while then we went back to his house. We sat in his house and talked for about thirty minutes and since it was getting late I told him I needed to get home. He told me the next time we go out he'll take me to the Sky Bar for sushi. He walked me to the car and hugged me goodbye. Ok, we had a great time and he says he wants to see me again and you are probably wondering what my problem is. Did you see how that one sentence ended...He HUGGED me goodbye. Ok, he has not gone in for the kiss yet. I can't figure out if he's shy, nervous or "just not that in to me." I was talking to my mom about it and she said, "Maybe he's just being a gentleman." I don't know what to think. Part of me says, "If he's not in to you, why would he make a suggestion for the next time we go out?" And another part of me says, "Maybe he's just lonely and wants someone to go to dinner with." I know I'm over-analyzing and I said I wasn't going to do that anymore, but I'm a single girl...over-analyzing things is what we do. So, my evening with Doctor can be summed up like this...fun yet confusing.

My date with Hook-up is on Saturday after the Passion Party. I'm not sure what we are doing yet, I guess we'll figure that out then. Anyway, it's getting late and this aging single girl needs her beauty sleep. So...

Until next time...

Two dates and a Passion Party!!!

So, last night I went to bed around 8pm. (I know, the life of a Singleton is SOOOO exciting!) At 9pm I got a call from Hook-up we talked for about 30 minutes and decided to go out on Saturday. At about 9:30pm I told him I needed to go back to sleep, so we got off the phone and I went back to sleep. At 10:00pm my phone rings again, it was Doctor, we talked for about 45 minutes, then he asked me what I was doing Wednesday night. When I replied, "Nothing." He then asked me if I liked oysters. I then asked him, "Cooked or Raw?" he said "Cooked." Then he asked me if I wanted to go out on Wednesday night. I'm really looking forward to both dates. Doctor kinda confuses me, he didn't call for a week and a half then I got an email from him out of the blue telling me he has been busy. When he called me Friday night he explained that sometimes he goes into "Hermit mode." If he is telling me the truth, I can totally understand. He is a psychiatrist and from the stories he's told me, I can only imagine that one would need to "decompress" after hearing and seeing some of the things that go on in a psych ward. So, tomorrow night I am driving to Galveston, and we will go to some restaurant that apparently has really good oysters rockefeller. Saturday, I am going to a Passion Party with Doodlebug hosted by one of the ladies in my alumni group. If you've never been to one, you REALLY need to go. I went to one a couple of years ago, and some of the items were a little strange. Now, I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but some of the "toys" the consultant was pulliing out of her bag really intrigued me. (I'm using intrigued, for lack of a better word.) I've been to "novelty" stores before and I thought I had seen pretty much everything. But, when this woman started pulling all of the "goodies" out of the bag I found myself wondering..."What the hell is that?", "What do you use that for?", "That one doesn't look pleasant, and "You put that WHERE???" So, the rest of this week should be fun and eventful. So, I will post again either tomorrow night or Thursday depending on what time I get in and let y'all know how everything goes.

Until next time...

I'm almost over my PTSD!!!

OK, well...on Valentine's Day I got a call from a friend of mine that I had not seen in quite a while. He lives in another city and was in Houston for the evening and asked if I wanted to go to dinner that night. Now, one thing you should know about this mand is...he's married with a couple of kids. So, I went and picked him up after work (another person who doesn't know Houston, and I've already explained my reservations about being a passenger with someone who is not familiar with this city.) When I got to his hotel room we hugged and did the normal, "IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!" Blah Blah Blah... Then he tells me that he was just looking at my myspace page. I didn't think anything of it. So, off we go. I told him I was perfectly happy going to a little place that would not be crowded and he said that he wanted to take me somewhere nice. So, as you can imagine, everywhere we went there was an hour to an hour and a half wait. So, we ended up at Katz's Deli. Not all that nice, but there was no wait! We had a couple of drinks, talked about our families etc. You know, the same stuff you talk about with anyone you haven't seen in many months. Then we get back in the car and off we go back to his hotel. While we were driving, he said that he wanted me to come back up to his room so I could show him the pictures on my myspace page. (For those of you who do not have a myspace page, if you do not have an account you can not access the posted pictures on someone's page.) As you are reading this, I'm sure you know where I'm going. There is one thing everyone should know about me...I DO NOT KNOW WHEN SOMEONE IS HITTING ON ME. If a man came up to me and started humping my leg, someone would look at me and say, "He's hitting on you." And I would reply, "No he's not, he's just being friendly!" So, while we are in the car we start listening to a Staind CD. At this point, he grabs my right hand. When I asked him what he was doing, he told me he was looking at my nail polish. I was like, "OK" (I know, I know, I tend to be quite naive at times.) So, we get to the hotel, and I am still oblivious, and off we go into the hotel room. Once we are in the hotel room, he told me to show him the pictures so I sat down in the computer chair and once I moved the mouse, the screen saver went away and there was my myspace page. So I tried to log on and the internet went down. While the computer was connecting with the internet, he spun my chair around and started KISSING me. Now, as you can imagine, all sorts of things were swimming through my head. So, while his lips were on mine, I managed to say (muffled because of the lips on lips) "What are you doing?" He pulled back from me and told me that he has always been attracted to me. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! I reminded him that he was married and he basically said, "So." Then he asked me, "Don't you find me attractive?" I explained to him that I did, but because he was married there was no way in HELL that I was going to sleep with him. While all of this is going on, I think he morphed into an octopus. When I would move his hand from my chest, another one would appear on my ass, then when I would remove that hand another one would appear on my lower back. It was very strange. Then I asked him, "What about your wife?" His answer was so simple, it caught me off guard. Are you ready for this..."She's not here." WHAT! Anyway, he told me, "You are a very attractive woman!" I came back with a half whine half yell, "NO I'M NOT!" He kept asking me why, so I finally grabbed his left hand and put in next to mine. Since he is married he has a band on his finger. I simply told him something I remembered from long ago on Sesame Street..."One of these things in not like the other!" So, I finally said that I was going home, at least he walked me to my car so I wouldn't get pawed by a complete stranger. So, on my drive home he called me and asked if I was mad at him, I told him no I wasn't mad at him, but he really FREAKED me out! So, the next day at work he called me and again asked if I hated him, I told him I did not and that was that. You know what people, in a million years I would have never expected that to happen. I never was scared, just freaked out. The one thing that did make me mad is that he never once apologized for his actions. But, what do you expect...He's a man. And if there are any men reading this...yes, I know that all men are not like this. Anyway, so the Valentine's Day that started out so nice with the flowers from someone I didn't really know ended with me having a touch of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder! I'm much better now.

Speaking of the guy who sent me flowers, Hook-Up, he seems to be a REALLY nice guy. He has been in Harlingen all weekend since his father passed away. We have talked every day! The funeral was Thursday and on Friday I got a text message from him. It said, "Should I get a tongue piercing?" Now, any of you who know me know that I think piercings and tattoos are SEXY! So, I texted him back, "You should so get a your tongue pierced, but maybe not in Mexico." I got a message back, "Too late!" Then he sent me a picture of him with his tongue sticking out with a silver stud through it. HOT, HOT, HOT! He called me, and of course his speech is a little distorted. He told me he got a tattoo also. (I think he went to Hoochie's School of Drinking.) Anyway, let me ask all of you a question, how do you uninvite someone to the Rodeo. Originally, I had invited Front Loader, but I would rather go with Hook-Up. So, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Until next time...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Like most Singletons, I was dreading Valentines Day. Which is kinda stupid on my part, because even when I am with someone I don't celebrate it. Personally, I think it's a dumb holiday. (if you can call it that.) In my opinion, if you love someone you should show them everyday.

With that being said on my personal issues with V-day, you can imagine my surprise when i walked in my office this morning and sitting on my desk was a vase with three pink roses, a Happy Valentine's Day balloon, a pink gift bag containing a stuffed Snoopy with a box of chocolates, and a card. I asked the lady sitting next to me, we'll call her Work Mom, if she had bought the stuff for me and she looked at me like I was nuts. Well, do you all remember the guy I met at the "Friday Night Hook-Up"? Well I had given him my business card and we spoke to each other Monday night. All the stuff was from HIM! I was SHOCKED, to say the least. Here is what the card says...

"Single Girl,

I hope you don't find this awkward, i just thought that this would brighten up your day.

Hook-Up"

(I changed our names, if you didn't notice.)

Isn't that CRAZY! So, when I called him to tell him thank you he told me he was on the way to south Texas. Then he told me his father passed away yesterday. What do you say to something like that? I told him that I was sorry and asked if he needed anything. I told him thank you again, and I knew he would be busy with his family so I asked him to just call me when he gets a chance. (That way I don't call during a viewing or a funeral, that would be bad!)

So, my first Valentine's Day as Single Girl has started off pretty good. Hope all of you with significant others have a great day!

Until next time...

The Friday Night Hook-Up

So, as I mentioned in my last blog, I went to the KRBE Friday Night Hook-up at Drink Houston with Office Girl Friday night. WE HAD A BLAST! While we were getting ready at her humble abode, a friend of mine (we'll call him Driver) called me to find out what I was doing, he had a friend coming in town from Lufkin and they wanted to do something fun. I told him where I was going and they decided to meet us out there. So, we get to the "Hook-Up" and the place was packed. The best part was that there weren't people there that were so beautiful it made you uncomfortable. Everyone was very normal looking. We found Driver and his friend and we ended up hanging out with them all night long. Office Girl and I participated in this game where all of the men in the place had necklaces with padlocks and all the women had necklaces with keys. So, the idea was that you just go up to random people to find out if you could open their padlocks with your keys. It was kinda fun, but a little cheesey! Anyway, I have to tell you, that night I was a Single looking to Mingle! (I know, a little corny but hey would you have me any other way?) With the help of two dirty martinis and a couple of beers I was going up to anyone I felt like talking to. I was in RARE form. Normally, I am so self-conscious that I don't really talk to anyone. I had forgotten how much fun a club could actually be. I danced and laughed all night long. I actually had two different guys tell me that I was beautiful! This is not a regular occurence for me. Believe it or not, Office Girl and I were walking around and we went up to these two guys and I introduced us to them and looked at the one on the right and ran my finger across his cheek and said "You are tooo cute!" Ok people, where did that come from? That is not me! That is not the Single Girl everyone knows and loves! But, I decided that I was a long way from home and I would probably never see any of these people again, so what the hell. I threw all inhibitions out the window and let loose! And you know what...IT WAS GREAT! By the end of the night I was dancing with this guy and we exchanged phone numbers. I spoke with him today and I'm supposed to call him back this evening. So, maybe another date and a new code name will come from this, you just never know.

I did speak to Front Loader today. I forgot to mention that when I was at the bar Friday night I text messaged him around midnight. Not a smooth move on my part, I know. There is nothing like looking like drunken, desperate girl. But, this morning I got a text from him saying Good Morning so I texted Good Morning to you back to him. When I went out for my 9am cigarette, I called him and I apologized for the late night texting. Are you ready for what he said..."I'm always glad to get text messages from you!" Wasn't that sweet? Anyway, we talked about what we did over the weekend and all that good stuff. So, maybe another date with Front Loader is on the horizon.

Here is the updated list of code names...

Me - Single Girl
Hoochie - My best friend
Slut Puppy - My best friend from high school
Escort - My boyfriend from high school
Doodlebug - My other best friend
Movie Buff - Doodlebugs husband
The Little Doodles - Doodlebugs children
Big Daddy - My boss from a previous job
Mrs. Big Daddy - Big Daddy's wife
Front Loader - The guy I went to Chili's with
Office Girl - One of the ladies I work with
Driver - I guy I worked with at a previous job


Until next time...

The life of a Singleton!

Well, I had a date with a different guy last night. His name will be Front Loader (It's nothing dirty, I swear!) So, Front Loader and I met on the personals and we have been IMing back and for the past week and a half. I've lucked out with the last two guys...both have been VERY funny. And, if you know me, if they can make me laugh all is good. Anyway, so we met at a Chili's and when I pulled up, he was already there. Now, when I first saw his picture I was like "He's pretty cute!" But, when he got out of the truck I looked at him and realized that he was even cuter in person. He is taller than me, even with heels on. And he looked nice too...he was wearing khaki pants with a blue button up shirt (tucked in) with nice brown shoes and a matching belt. Now you are probably wondering why I am describing his clothes, well I'll tell you...The guy I have been hanging out with lately dresses like we are still in high school. You know, t-shirts with funny sayings on them, blue jeans that are too big, etc. Front Loader actually looked like an adult. Dinner went really well, but when they brought the check he did something that no other guy has ever done...He took the black check holder thing and put it in the seat next to him. Is it just me, or is that kind of strange? Doodlebug thinks maybe he didn't want me to feel rushed to leave. I don't know, it didn't really bother me I just thought it was a little different. Anyway, so he paid for dinner (pretty cool, huh?) Then he asked me if I wanted to go back to his apartment and watch a movie or something. I took the lady-like approach, which is totally not like me and said that since we just met I didn't think I would be comfortable going back to his apartment just yet. So, we sat out in his truck for about an hour and just talked. It was so nice to be able to talk to someone that is in a similar industry as I am. I finally told him I had to get home and he walked me to my car (which was only one space over from his truck) we said goodnight and hugged and kissed each other on the cheek. When I got home, I already had an IM from him telling me that he really enjoyed meeting me and that I looked very nice. Isn't that sweet! I called him and let him know that I made it home OK and he told me that we would have to get together again. I'm really looking forward to it!

Just to let you all know, tomorrow night a lady I work with (we'll call her Office Girl) and I are going to the KRBE Friday Night Hook Up and Drink Houston. I'm really excited about it. I've always heard about these gatherings, but I was always with the ex. I always thought that it sounded like a lot of fun. So, wish me luck for tomorrow night!

On another note, I called Doctor the other night and he still hasn't called me back. Now, the old Single Girl would be very upset wondering what was wrong with her, she's not pretty enough, she should have lost more weight before actually going out with anyone, etc. But, the new Single Girl says "Oh well! If I don't hear back from him, that just means that he wasn't the one for me." I have to say, being 30 is actually empowering. I've come to the conclusion that I don't really care what people think about me and if they don't like me for who I am then they can just move it on down the road! So, for those of you that are VERY near 30 (and you know who you are) don't be afraid of it like I was. Embrace it!

Until next time...

Sisters

I received this in an email this afternoon. I really liked it, so i thought i would share it with all of you...

Sisters
A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,
drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As
they talked about life, about marriage, about the
responsibilities of life and the obligations of
adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her
glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance
upon her daughter.
"Don't forget your Sisters," she advised, swirling
the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. "They'll
be more important as you get older. No matter how
much you love your husband, no matter how much you
love the children you may have, you are still going
to need Sisters. Remember to go places with them now
and then; do things with them."
"Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women...
your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other
women relatives too. "You'll need other women. Women
always do."
What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman
thought. Haven't I just gotten married?
Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a
married woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely
my husband and the family we may start will be all I
need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact
with her Sisters and made more women friends each
year. As the years tumbled by, one after another,
she gradually came to understand that her Mom really
knew what she was talking about. As time and nature
work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,
Sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 40 years of living in this world,
here is what I've learned:
THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are
between you. A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you
have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life
will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,
praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the
valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk
beside you...Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,
daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,
Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended
family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and
neither would I. When we began this adventure called
womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would need each other.
Every day, we need each other still.

I just thought it was nice, hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Until next time...

Sometimes being single doesn't suck!

So, as you all know I went out with Doctor yesterday. And, THANK GOD, he was just as funny in person as he is on the phone! He has a very dry sense of humor...those are my favorite kind. His jokes are subtle, and you have to really be paying attention to get them. It was probably one of the best "first dates" I've ever been on. Let me recap the day...

I went and picked him up around 12:30. You are probably wondering why I drove, well I'll tell you...He doesn't know Houston, and the last thing I want to do is get in the passenger seat of a vehicle when the driver does not know his way around. That is VERY SCARY! So, I picked him up and off we went. The first destination was Kim Son. He told me that he had not had any good Vietnamese since he arrived in the Lone Star State, he didn't think we had any good Vietnamese food. So, of course I had to prove him wrong! And that is exactly what I did! The spring rolls were perfect, the rice paper was firm not chewy, the peanut sauce did not taste like peanut butter, the chicken was perfectly grilled, I could go on and on but I won't. Needless to say, he was quite impressed! So, when we got done eating, he pulled out his own wallet and paid for the meal!!!! (Is that normal?) Then when we get in the car I gave him a couple of touristy options, and I was so happy when he chose the zoo! Now, I have not been to the Houston Zoo in quite some time, but it looks pretty much the same. We walked around the zoo for about 3 hours. We saw the baby elephant and the baby giraffes. I don't know if there is anything cuter than a baby elephant! Anyway, so we get done at the zoo and we decide that we want coffee. You are probably thinking I took him to Starbucks, but you would be wrong. We drove down Montrose and went to Empire Cafe. If you've never been there, I highly recommend it! They have very good coffee and it's a GREAT people watching destination. So, we sat on the side patio and drank our coffee (that he paid for! I'm still amazed, I didn't think men actually carried money or credit cards anymore.) The people watching wasn't as good Sunday evening, probably because of the Super Bowl, but it was getting late so we decided to go ahead and head south to go home. Once we got back to his house he invited me in and gave me the grand tour of his humble abode. We sat and talked a little while longer, and I realized it was late and I had to go home. We said goodnight and said that we would have to get together again to do more exploring. So, all in all, it was a pretty good day! I don't know if there was actually any "romance" sparks, but you never know. I mean, when the ex and I met we hated each other, then we ended up spending 6 years of our life together. So, you never know what the future holds. So, congratulate me...HE WASN'T A FREAK!

Until next time...

Why?

Why is it that weirdos are attracted to me? A guy from the personals emailed me a couple of times last week and asked me to call him. His profile said that he was 39 years old and had kids living with him full time. I'm ok with a man having full custody of his kids, and my thinking is...if he has full custody of his kids, he won't expect me have any! So, I call this guy, we'll call him the Fireman. He answers the phone and as soon as he started talking I realized, I have made a HUGE mistake. First of all, he had the thickest hillbilly accent. Now, I know that I have a pretty thick accent but at least I'm somewhat intelligent, sadly he was not. He asked me what I did for a living and when I told him he asked me why I was being so serious. I was like, I'm not really being all that serious. You asked me what I did for a living. Then, he asked me why I don't have any children. When I replied with "I just don't want any children, I have 3 nephews that I can rent for a day and when they start to smell or get on my nerves I can give them back to their mother." His next question caught me a little off guard..."Well what are you going to do with your life?" What the FUCK!?!? Just because I'm a woman I am supposed to have a bunch of kids to justify my existence? I told him I would survive without children. Then I asked him how old his children were...THEY ARE 21 AND 18! Do you realize I was 9 years old when he had his first child! Then he asked me what I had cooked for the evening, when I explained that I don't cook he then asked me "What can you cook?" Again, I said "I DON'T COOK! And do you know he had the nerve to tell me "You need to learn how to cook." WHAT? This bastard has never seen me in person and he is telling me I need to learn how to cook. I don't know who he thought he was, but I almost told him to kiss my ass. Then he said he doesn't really know how to cook, but "He loves to burn meat on fire." (That is a direct quote.) Then he asked me if I had any pets...I told him I have a very large, lazy cat. He told me he had a cat at one time, he told me that when the cat wanted to show someone love he would....BITE THE MESS OUT OF YOU. (Again, another direct quote.)Who says that? It was at that moment that I realized it is time for me to get off the phone. I explained that I had to get up early and I needed to go to bed, we got off the phone and I promptly saved his phone number under DO NOT ANSWER. So, for those of you that are married or are in a relationship, go kiss that person. Try not to bite the mess out of them in the process.

There is another guy I have been talking to, he is hilarious! We will call him the Doctor. Yes my friends, you read correctly he is a doctor. He is a second year resident. We are going out tomorrow, he has lived in Galveston for the past 18 months but has not ventured into Houston yet. So, tomorrow we are going to go do touristy things in Houston. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully we have as much fun hanging out as we do talking on the phone. So, tomorrow evening I will post about the day and let y'all know how it went. Let's just hope he's not a freak!

Until next time...

Mental Hugs DO Work!!!

Well, I am happy to report that Doodlebug and Movie Buff are trying to work things out! It makes me very happy to hear her sound so much better! I want to thank everyone for all the thoughts, prayers and mental hugs for Doodlebug and her little Doodles.

I will say this, I have spent more time with Doodlebug in the last week than I have spent with her in the past couple of years. Even though it was not under the best circumstances, I really enjoyed talking and there was even a bit of laughter! I am a firm believer in "Everything happens for a reason." I think the reason she called me is because God realized that she and I need each other more now than we ever have before. I am really looking forward to our monthly get togethers and possibly an Academy Awards party at their humble abode. (I don't call him Movie Buff for nothing!)

So Doodlebug, I'm thinking sometime in the middle of February. Maybe we can go back to Brazil! ;) Oh, and you might want to explain to the littlest Doodle...It was nothing personal, Miss Single Girl just doesn't do diapers!

Until next time...
