Thursday, driving home from work I was bound and determined not to run. It was rainy and very cold. My D15 was at home with her BF and needed eyes watching her. I just worked all day and I was way too tired. I still had to figure out dinner, get S to basketball practice and D 17 needed a ride to the mall.

So I was sure, while parking my car I was not going to do it.

So I went in the house and just put all my gear on and off I ran. You should see the kids when I put my gear on. Their little faces drop.

"Awww, you are going running? But I wanted you to drive me here or make this and that or do this instead..."

Then my beautiful puppy. She sees my running shoes and goes crazy with unsurpressed joy.

I think I did a little better than the last time.

Friday I dont need to run, because that is DANCING. And I dance

Sunday I went to another dance and saw Chris there. The guy I met last week. We had sent a few text messages to each other throughout the week, and I was under the impression he wanted me to come to the dance to spend more time with him. So I saved him a seat.

He sat for a minute, but then he left. Some other guy asked me to dance so I went to dance with him. I never made it the whole way back to my seat until the band took a break because other guys (none of whom were Chris) kept asking me before I could make it to my table.

Finally the band took a break and I sat down and Chris came over right away. We talked for a while and he seems like a really good guy. He had the best compliments. But the band soon started back up and he did not ask me to dance. He sat there with me for a few minutes until another guy came over and asked me to dance.

I went to dance with the other guy. I was so very confused, because he acted like he was so excited to dance with me, but he did not ask me. He just stood on the wall and watched the dancers all night. He did ask me to dance for a little, but then quickly left me alone so strange other guys would ask me. I did not want to hurt anyone's feeling so I said yes each time.

By the end of the night I was tired of trying to figure him out so I just put my coat on and he came over and said good bye and he was very glad I came?

So, I'm driving home (the dance was about an hour away) and I am slightly annoyed and my cell phone rings. I never touch my phone while I am driving, but I am annoyed so I answered it. It was Chris. He said he had an amazing time watching me dance tonight. So I asked him why he did not dance with me more. He said he wanted me to have fun so he wanted me to dance with whomever I wanted to. He did not want to make me dance with him all night.

He also said he was bound and determined to be a complete gentleman last night, but the outfit I wore was stunning so he left me before he could cross any line.

(Okay... I am positive that was a lie, but it is such a great lie that I am choosing to love it)

So, between Friday night and Sunday night I had the most wonderful weekend with my friends. I laugh so much and dance so much that I have no time to be sad about anything.

I did have an 'altercation' with H this weekend, but I dont want to poison this post with that so I will put that in a separate post.
