Chilly with a Chance of Brr...

Well hello all. I am so happy to be back to blogging. Last week I got a very nasty cold that just knocked me out. I am still coughing but mostly on the mend. I hate to be sick.

I am also beginning to plan for the holiday season. When I get sick I watch QVC, I know, it makes no sense, I just do. Well last week while coughing up a lung I enjoyed a day on the couch with Kleenex and Christmas QVC. I laughed at half the stuff that I would never buy and things I wished I had the money for. Like a 12 foot lit tree that I have no where to put but would love to have. It kicked off the fall just perfectly for me. Got me into the mind frame of the season. I do all my Christmas shopping by the beginning of November so I have to be on the ball here, I am getting close to my deadline! haha.

There is already so much going on. It is my favorite time of year, the weather gets chilly and sweaters come out and I get to enjoy the wonderfulness of my beautiful and warm coat collection. Even though a trial try-on session revealed a few that can now only be warn with VERY heavy sweaters or lots of layers, I do not love them any less. I can hardly wait to bust them out. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 55 degrees, so I think I will have a start to the season.

I have started to rack leaves, made a few loaves of pumpkin bread, homemade apple cider, and soups. Lots of homemade soup.

I hope you are all having a wonderful fall and enjoying the sights, smells and sounds of it all. I know that I am.

Oblivious

So, apparently I am totally oblivious. 100% oblivious! What is up with that? Not cool at all. So I was told by no less than two people that there is this guy who lights up when I am in a room and that he tries to hang out with me as much as he can. Ok, how did I miss this guy? Really, how did I not notice him? He is a guy I actually like and is a great guy! Really great actually. So, when I saw him today I flirted right back and wow! So much fun. By the end of the night, I was enjoying the arm around the waist and the flirtatious touching...the fun stuff! I have no idea what will happen, if anything, but man it felt good to be with someone I actually liked and knew. Can it get better? Maybe, but right now, I am happy to be where I am.

I promise a real post of the recent events and such will be coming soon. Including some new pics. But we all know that I am having issues with my camera, so enjoy the pictures when you can.

News

Well guys, here is the dating update. Oh the stories I will tell!
.
I went out with a 42 year old last week, it was lunch. He is a nice guy and all, but the 42 was a little hard to handle for me I think. Just not really sure about it. We are going out again,because we did have fun, but I am not sure...I will keep you updated.
.
I am going out with a 38 year old, nice guy, we get a long great, but I am not really sold on him either. We chatted about Star Trek and such, which I love! But, I don't know. I'll let you know.
.
I am also getting to know a 23 year old. Hm...I like him a good deal and it is really a lot of fun, but I am not making commitments at the moment.
.
So yeah, those are the three that are floating around in my world at the moment. Plus a few random guys, but these are the big ones at the moment. I am having a blast just having fun and flirting and letting them flirt...oh, seriously, I can never hear enough how "cute, beautiful or amazing" I am.
.
Last night Logan and I went bowling and happened upon a flat fee bowling night. So you pay the $10 and you can bowl as much as you want. So, Logan paid the lady and we bowled 11 games! IN A ROW! It was awesome. It was fun to just work on our games and just enjoy a no stress evening. I have really improved my game and had the highest score of the evening with 3 spares and 3 strikes in ONE GAME! Amazing. I love it. Logan almost has his curve down and scored his best game bowling left handed. How fair is that? But it was good to just hang out with my best friend and do something we love. We are really just practicing up for when we join the bowling league.
.
Well I am super busy with a mid-singles volleyball night (love volleyball!),girls night tomorrow, and super saturday on saturday (who'd have thought it!) and a hockey game too. Whew...and that doesn't include the dates...haha. But I will try to post some stuff in the middle of it all, but if not I will get a bunch of post up in the next week. Until then, wish me luck with the boys (or men!), and getting numbers tonight.
.
Oh, and by the way, two guys got my number last sunday and I got two guys numbers...so not all of these guys are onliners. Just wait til you see pics...you are gonna love it!

My New Favorite Band

Sunday is my new favorite band. Logan said I could play the tambourine. And in case you didn't realize it, I am the cook.
.
I will post pictures and video from the concert tomorrow. So late right now! But they are coming, I promise. And also, I am sure I will have to share info about my date with the 42 year old tomorrow...yeah, I am not too happy about it, but I wanted to go...but yeah. More to come.

Winter Reprise

Well today about 10:30 it started snowing. It is still snowing. This is not out of the ordinary just crazy. I did not enjoy having wet shoes and having to scrape my car again. I also did not like the fact that I am peeling from the sunburn that I got about a week ago. It seems a little odd to be peeling in the snow. Not that it matters really, it just seems odd.

Do you ever have one of those days that just seems to float right past you? No medicine involved just the all natural feeling of the day floating past and you almost don't even realize it. I had a meeting this morning at 7am. That is early for me. I am waking up between 7am-8am, so to be out and about that early is a little nuts to me.

It was a very productive meeting though. We (the student alumni organization) got a lot taken care of for next year and that was a huge benefit. I have been on a recruiting spree and have found some great people to head up some committees and to be our web designer. That is wonderful! I really was worried about that job.

I got a call from an ex-boyfriend a few days ago. Monday night I believe. It was good to hear that he was doing well and to chat with him for a few minutes. I obvious cared about him so to hear from him was nice. But then he proceeds to ask me if I ever think about what it would have been like if we had stayed together and had gotten married. I was speechless. This is a nice guy and there was a time when I would have thought the same thing but a year and half after we brake up isn't one of those times. I moved on and I am ok with what happened with our relationship. I guess I am torn between feeling flattered and frustrated. I love that he realizes that I was worth having around but annoyed that it took him this long to realize that he has just realized this.

I guess in the process of the phone call, the snow, the early morning meeting and the mush my brain is at finals time the day is just slipping away. Maybe work will be better, maybe not. We will just have to wait and see.
