Ellie - Good for you! I wouldn't have taken that comment sexually, BTW. What a really nice thing to say! I'd be pretty happy to be on the receiving end of that introduction.

Wii - Nope, I didn't elope over the weekend LOL. That's one thing you can count on me not doing! I had D16 this weekend, and she was a real pain in the a$$. Her last day of school was Friday, and I think she was trying to let me know that she's starting her summer being the boss of herself. That ain't gonna fly. She started summer camp today, thank goodness.

Clay and Wii, any woman who won't go out with you as you maintain your hard-earned sobriety can pound sand. You're better off without them. I drink socially, but would never hold it against someone who made sobriety their #1 goal in life. Ugh.

Gineen, you are a swell blind date. I mean that. How incredibly nice for you to notice the attraction felt by those 2 and generously offer to step aside. Not everyone is as big a person as you are, and I'm really proud for you.

Awww, I read what you said about wanting more kids, and for some reason, I'm still hopefully optimistic for you. You really sound like an absolute gem. Just give these guys a little more time. I believe!

I had my date with Mr. Sweet Stuff last night - we went out to dinner. It was at a casual place kind of near my house, with a fabulous view of the mountains and the reservoir at the state park. He was funny and thoughtful and made me laugh. I was home by 9:30 and no hanky panky. I have to say that I'm a little in awe of a guy who goes to college on a baseball scholarship. He was a left handed pitcher who can apparently hit. Yummy!

He texted me late last night and told me that he's feeling it for me and that he might want more of my time shortly. I'm okay with that, and told him we would figure it out as we go, particularly since it's him with the 2nd job and not me. He also removed his profile from ourtime this morning.

So all is well in my world. Now if I can just get my work life to cooperate with my personal life, I'd be set.
