Hoo boy...

This dating thing is tricky!

I had an amazing dinner date with Matchman & our date did lead into a confusing/miscommunication night of fire, wine, cake and some serious kissy face. I left before it got out of hand and have learned a couple of things:
1. my rational thinking is stronger than my libdo
2. no more home based dates until I feel super comfortable- it can be dangerous and it gives the wrong impresion.

After our date, matchman called the next day to apologize somewhat - he first asked me to come over his place after work, so there was a small attempt again. (i said no)  I haven't seen him since, but we have had some great conversations & cute texts.  He has been very complimentary to me & attentive.  We haven't gone a day without some form of communication. 

After our date I was thinking that this person won't be "the one" & the jury is still out, but I like him so I don't want to judge too quickly.  This COULD be just a miscommunication or a serious deal break...as he likes to get freaky with it.  We shall see soon enough.

Meanwhile, last night was the infamous Speed Dating!!!

The age range was 35-55 & the group was definitely a bit older for me.  I had fun & was in it to be charming to all the men I met. When you get there, the women get to pick where they would like to sit & each person is given a card with a picture on it.  You are suppose to find your picture match & begin with that guy.  I was talking to my "pic match" for 15 minutes before we started.  He was nice but has 3 small kids (eek in a bad way) Plus he made a small sour face when I asked if he wanted more & said maybe. Yeah..maybe NOT.

Kind of cool knowing that I just went on 15 dates.  Look at me - I'm a dating fiend!  Out of the 15, I think I grooved with 3 people - there were some misfits, like the guy who said that his Mother made him sign up cuz he needs a girlfriend or the one with coke bottle glasses who looked like Dilbert & spoke like the guy from Office Space. (I want my stapler)

I have a mini-date with matchman tonight &  I know more if he is still in the running - I have butterflys!

Happy Times!

Hello Happy Readers ~


It's been a busy few weeks!  First off, I have successfully turned 40!  What an amazing experience...I felt so loved by so many people & the celebration isn't over, either.  I am heading to NYC to spend time with my Brother, who's Birthday was 1/23 and my cousin, BF who's birthday is this Saturday 2/5. 

Aquarius Power!!!


For this birthday, I experienced:
* an amazing musical, Mamma Mia and a yummy dinner with AR
* fun filled breakfast, pedicures and movie date with DA & HD
* a ladies luncheon in honor of ME with my Goddess friends
* Kareoke night with MP, AR and MM


not to mention all the lovely facebook messages with Birthday cheers, phone calls and cards!


If anyone understands or values numerology, I have entered my 3rd personal year:

Personal Year 3. . . .Social expansion & creative successes

This is a social, happy year, and it generally tends to exude bright and cheerful vibrations. This is a year when you will want to check up on old friends and broaden your social circle to include some new ones. Romance and love affairs may bloom. You are inclined to live life to its fullest now, even if you have to pay the consequences later on. You are likely to be more sociable and the bridle of responsibility will seem to be loosened a bit.

Last year was my personal 2 year, which was a Development, cooperation, and waiting .  I felt it entirely, as I did a lot of alone quiet time, research & reflection.  Once I entered 2011, I definitely felt a shift in my attitude.

**************************************************************************
If anyone wants to find out their numerology, calculate your personal year using this formula:

 

First, reduce the month and day of your birth, your birthday, to a single digit.  For example, February 8th, that single digit would be 1 (2+8=10; 1+0=1). If your month and day total comes to 11 or 22, the master numbers, in this instance, reduce the number to 2 and 4, respectively.

Next, reduce the year for which you are making the calculation to a single digit. The year 2003 would become 5. Now, add the single digit representing your birthday to the single digit representing the year in question. Thus, 2003 is a a 6th personal year.

************************************************************************************

I'm gaining clarity on issues and defining my wants and directions.  I am having an easier time letting go old beliefs now, which is GREAT!!!  It's all about "getting rid of the fat" as one of my old film teachers would say to me to get to the essence of the story.  Fascinating that something I experienced 13 years ago would apply now (in many ways).

Updates on dating resolutions
I went on my first date on Match & it went so well, that I have another date with him tonight!  The issue of sex has come up in my mind because we are going out to dinner and then back to his house for roaring fire, decadent chocolate cake and wine.

All of this sounds great, but it could also lead to the intimacy that might be too soon. Some of you may know that it has been a LONG time since I have been down this intimacy path & am ripe for the picking!  Intellectually, I know that this would be too soon because sex can "muddy" clear reasoning skills. 

Truthfully, I'm not thinking with my intellectual side & I'm admitting that I know what could happen.  I have decided to let the night play itself out & see what happens.

* after our first date, we have spoken on the phone 3 times (1 hr. long conversations) and have been playing a game of questions via texting. I feel that he is a good guy & feel safe.

Updates with exercising resolutions
Not official gym rat but I have been watching my diet and doing more everday movement (taking stairs, stretching, more fast walking).  I have to say getting into the dating scene is a motivator for sure & my happy hormones are helping me want to exercise.

Updates with professional resolutions
Another person has quit the Spa and I'm working strange odd shifts, plus with the snow I have been forced to sleep at the hotel which is giving me no reprieve from the job.  I haven't made as much of an effort as I would like, however, I'm realizing that I need to find the time to do it asap!  My computer is up and running thanks to RG and I am making monthly goals to accomplish (keeping it small is helpful)


I apologize that I was MIA for a while...try to keep it going more frequently from now on.
