My SINGLE Exploits

Yes, being that I am single, I have lots of stories and interesting tidbits of information that are so unique. I still have date stories (and BAD date stories) to share. I will share some with you now. I thought I would let you enjoy the kinds of dates you are "missing" out on.

Last weekend I went on a date, it was super fun. We climbed a rock wall, saw a movie and went indoor surfing. It was so much fun! Really crazy and nutty, but gosh, that is what dates are supposed to be like!

Sunday I drove down to Provo to have "family dinner" with my sister Robin and her husband Neal, and my cousin Erin and her husband Tony. Both couples were married this spring. Now, do not get me wrong, I love them, but there were those moments that I wanted to scream. I can only handle the "newly weds" for so long before I long for some single people. I mentioned my date and they listened and then talked about the date they had last night in their apartment...it didn't end til morning. Ok, I apperciate the need to be excited and glow...but please, can we show some respect for the single and older cousin who likes to pre-tend that her MUCH youner sister and cousin are still young and good, innocent little girls. Or at least pretend to be when I am around. Is that so much to ask?

Then the screen on my laptop is dying! It is so sad! I just hate when that kind of thing happens. I wanted to get desktop too, but not because I HAD to.

Then, I work 8 hours day.

All of my roomates are moving out, well 2 are and one is being kicked out but she doesn't know it yet. It is a little frustrating. I hate that I know and she doesn't.

Last night a picked up a friend from the airport and her plane was delayed and got in at 11:45 pm. So I get there, pick her up and we head back up. It is a 20-30 minute drive to the airport, not bad at all, generally. On the way back there was connstruction. What normally takes 1/2 hr took an hour and half. So I did not get much sleep at all. And I was late to work. I HATE being late.

Well, that is a quick (or not so quick) synopsis of my life in the last week. I will have pictures soon. Not to worry.

Believe it or not, Nikki, that sounds like it was more exciting than my days waiting for my husband to return from his business trip while I take care of three cabinfever infested children, and still await the end of my hives. The adventure of dating was not one that was delved deep into by myself. Shawn was the first date, and the last. Once in a while, like when he is playing video games too often, or just plain aggrivating, I wonder what it would have been like to have had a little more experience in the single fishpond. But, I will admit, I am grateful for my eternal companion. Hopefully your next weekend goes a little smoother! Glad you had fun on your date though. That did sound like fun!!

I have a thing against PDA, and I'm a married woman! Oh please, spair the details! (right?) My one biggest pet peeve, in church when a wife will massage her husband neck and head... it drives me crazy! We're all watching people! Save it for the bedroom. Ok, I've said my 2 cents.

(** apology in advance to any readers out there that have done the above said acts of affection... )

Much better... I would like to see pics though. What is this indoor surfing you speak of? I think certain PDA is okay, i.e. I scratch Adam's back durring church on occasion and I am religious about holding hands, but massaging... I think is over the line. Also references to dates that last "until morning" when you are married, kind of lame... that is my 2 cents.

Bama Holcomb Family said...

I guess my subtotal is now 4 cents... I actually don't mind minimal PDA as well. And I am guilty of massaging Shawn's neck in church and his back, but that is because he has a back condition and can't sit in one place too long. SO usually it is when I notice he is uncomfortable. I love a kiss on the cheek and holding hands, too, but I do understand what you mean by newlywed PDA.

***LIZ*** said...

All right Hope, you are off the hook, only if you can provide a doctor's note proving Sean's back problem status... just kidding.

Bama Holcomb Family said...

Thanks, Liz! I knew I could count on you. As for a doctor's note... I don't think they write them for excusing neck massaging in church.

You guys are too funny! I have to laugh at you. Newly wed PDA...ew. that is all I have to say.
And pictures are being added soon, I am just adding all of the right software to get everything running again. I will add pics soon, promise!

Emily said...

Oh, Jeff loves a good back scratch in church... I'm talking about when you can hear the heavy breathing and see the heaving bosoms... irritating, I have to cover my little guys eyes.

***LIZ*** said...

Emily!!!! I can't tell you how tickled I am to see you leave a comment using "heaving bosoms" I officially double dog, over the barrel dare you to make up a blog post titled "heaving bosoms", or anything with that phrase in it...

Bama Holcomb Family said...

When have you heard heavy breathing or seen "heaving bossoms" in church??? My goodness.

Emily said...

How can I post a comment on my blog about heaving bosoms? I'm the only one who owns a pair, I;m surrounded by men!

Hope, practically... I have witnessed a few church meeting massage sessions that have caused me to blush and feel like I am watching something that I shouldnt! Those are the kind that I hate!!

So my portugese leaves a little bit to be desired, but I think that rodrigo wants us to buy his t-shirts. My goodness Nicole, the people that gravitate to you.... I guess you will never get board though, that's good.
