Birthdate

Today is my birthday.  I am now in my prime; whatever that may mean.  I thought I was in my prime 10 years ago.  Whatever . . .

So, being now of the golden age, aha.  I am.  I cannot believe it either.  No I can't.  Yes, I am still cute. :)

My friends and co-workers decorated my desk and cubby.  They will also be having a luncheon for me.  My son's favorite quote right now is from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", "You look so OLD!"  Yeah, I raised him well, the little bastard!

So, with that said.  I will be having cake and ice cream this coming Sunday.  Also, the Bronco's are playing the KC Chiefs.  And yes, my birthday is today.  Now, how could I get myself into some trouble .  .  . unfortunately, I am a bit melancholy.

Thursday, November 21, 2013

It is a very cold night.  We had some snow in Colorado Springs.  The drive this morning to work was not too bad, also I went in late.  The drive back home was not too bad either, we were able to leave work early as to still have some daylight while driving home. 

Well, I guess you may be wondering how my date went last Friday.  Let's just say it was nice, but not what I expected from the gentleman that I met.  Don't get me wrong he was nice, but he was almost 15 minutes late.  Not a good sign.  We had a nice dinner, but he had to leave early and return home as his 12 year old son was home alone.  I totally understand that, I had a 12 year old son too, not always wise to leave them alone for too long.  Anyways, we talked and laughed and I was also asked out for a second date, with some hesitation I said, "Yes." I think he picked up on that, I hoped he did.

The thing is the gentleman was handsome and pleasant but there were some inconsistencies, especially with the man I was writing to and the man I met.  I was attracted to him physically, but my internal voice still had some reservations.  Well, it is Thursday night and I have not heard from this gentleman as to make plans for our second date.  I believe he will try to contact me tomorrow to make plans, unfortunately it will not happen, not from me.  I already made plans for the weekend. 

This gentleman and I have been communicating earlier this week, but nothing mentioned about our date.  Also, our communications were rather short.  I believe this is what one calls the "kiss off."  All I can say is that  I am proud of myself for putting my toe in the water.  I had my first date.

The Broadmoor - November 9th, 2013

I was supposed to meet someone for coffee, but due to a family crisis we cancelled our meeting.  So, being the kind of gal who doesn't wait by the phone I decided to go and have my coffee and my favorite chocolate raspberry torte at the Broadmoor.

Anyways . . . . .

I made the best of the morning and I enjoyed myself immensely.  I am learning so much about who I am.  And I am learning that I am someone who enjoys those moments of solace, not all the time mind you, but I do enjoy them when I have them.  I enjoy just being.  I walked around this magnificent building and started taking photos.  It is an amazing feeling of getting to know oneself and not being conscience of being alone.  I like that!
