Saturday morning

Well, as my loyal readers know...I have a date this afternoon. And since it is with a complete stranger, I'm a little nervous. I even went to my pastors yesterday afternoon and asked for some advice...I mean, they're "mom" and "dad" and I totally screwed up the last time I tried to date...although to be honest, he wasn't very honest. I only got to talk with Mrs. Pastor and she said, 'Keep your eyes open" Good enough. Pastor came in at the tail end and got in on the conversation and I think I've already screwed up some....cuz he asked if we were going with another couple...ooops, uhm...no...we're meeting at his sis's house and then going up to Doc's and I thought that would be safe enough/public enough. Although to be honest, his question made me feel protected and watched out for. I decided not to doll up for this, though. I'm dressed nice, I did curl my hair a bit with the curling iron, and that's about it.

of course, I'll let all of you know what happens.

ok. Going to go play the weekend game a bit before I go on the clock.

Good luck on your date. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, but I doubt you need any luck.

The paster and his wife sound like lovely, protective people. How lucky you are to have them for temperature checks at times like this.

Popped in from Michele's. Enjoy!

Speaking from experience, Captain? {{said with a rather cheeky eyebrow wraggle}}

Aww, good luck on your date!! You know, it's funny, as nerve-wracking as those first dates are, if they result in a lasting, loving, long-term relationship those are the times you look back on with such fondness and remember the electricity and newness. I hope you have a really great time!

Here from Michele's :)

I'm here from Michele's. I have to get that out of the way first or I forget..

I hope you have a wonderful time on the date though I agree with Mr. Pastor, double with someone you know on dates with people you don't know. It not only protects you but also, if there are uncomfortable lulls in conversation you have a friend there to help you out during those first awkward moments with a person you don't know.

Either way... good luck and you are lucky to have the Pastors in your life.

Like the others are saying, Ciera, good luck on the date. Hopefully this fellow will be better than the last guy. Honest, at least.

Michele sent me, and that ensures that I'm safe too!
Good luck, Pennsy.

Types of Friends

The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.
