Year Two, Day 144: "M" aka Contestant Number Two






 I am in my library office. It is a beautiful fall day outside.  I am going to buy some boots after I am done here. The cool weather is coming and I am really wanting so knee high black boots.  I think my calves have shrunk enough for me to fit!

Today is one week since R cancelled our movie date.

So to celebrate, I got dressed and headed downtown to meet "M" for lunch.

M is contestant number 2 from my personal ad.

He is from Bangladesh. We have talked a bit via text message and phone. He is very polite and has a cute accent. Plus he likes to cook. Very spicy food!  He did not believe me when I told him I like my food as spicy as possible.

He is 42.  Age is just a number, right? Plus I think I have found the fountain of youth in weight training, clean eating, relatively low stress and a young (perhaps immature) attitude.

He also did not believe I was 54.

We had a very pleasant lunch. He took me to Buffalo Wild Wings. My son likes this restaurant.  It was perfect for a first meeting/date. Very happy and bright.

I had a chicken salad, chips, salsa and iced tea. He had hot as fire chicken wings and iced tea. He let me try one of his. It was not too hot for me! I didn't have wings because I am trying to stay away from fried food. But they were dang tasty!

There was a moment after we ate where I looked up at him and he was looking at me. I noticed that he had beautiful eyes. He told me he liked my smile. I could feel a blush coming on. I looked down. Then I looked back up and grinned. It was nice to feel chemistry.

He asked me if I would like to go see a movie with him this weekend.

I think I would!

Happy Friday!

P.S. Ok, in all honesty M would be contestant number 3.  But contestant number 2 got really freaking scary.  We had talked on the phone and texted. Then he called the night my son got into the accident. He left a message, but I was too upset to return his phone call. He texted me yesterday that he was hurt and disappointed and wanted to call. I told him I was too tired. I told him my son had been in a car wreck and I apologized for not returning his call. He called me anyway. He screamed at me. Then he told me to "F" off.

I deleted his number.

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
