When being single is fun!…

What a great Easter weekend this was!  I seriously had such a good weekend for so many reasons:

1.     The Weather…after an excruciatingly long winter here with temperatures that could intimidate a polar bear and more snow than Atlanta has EVER seen, I am happy to say that Spring is officially here! The weather this weekend was not only beautiful, but I am already even starting to get some sun- which is awesome! 🙂

2.     Long weekends…After what was a crazy week and due to the fact that for some reason my work doesn’t give it to us off- I took Friday off as a personal “me” day and it was awesome. Slept in, cleaned my house, worked out for 2 hours, spray tanned, went grocery shopping, did some laundry, and caught up on some TV shows I had recorded. All I kept thinking was – wow, I could TOTALLY be a stay at home mom (minus the husband and kids for now..lol..) and this would be great! All of this done in one day- that would definitely leave time for private tennis lessons with a hottie, and a cabana boy to feed me drinks at the pool…ahhh…a girl can dream! But seriously- this one extra day made the weekend feel so much longer! (and made me dread going back to work today all the more)

3.     What should be dubbed the weekend of “Men Madness” for me….Yes- this weekend wound up being a good one as far as the dating pool goes for me. Friday night after my great day I went to meet up with an online guy for a drink. It was okay…he wound up being shorter than I anticipated- but that’s okay. Would not have really bothered me had it not been for the fact that he also seemed to have “short man’s complex”…you know- the guys that try to walk with their chest pushed out a little and their shoulders out- I’m guessing in the hopes to look bigger? When yea- all they wind up doing is looking like they should be the next guy on the show “tool academy”. So yea- he had a little of that going on- but whatever. He had told me that he was meeting up with his friends later on that night anyway, so I knew that I wasn’t going to be there that long. We had a good time- had good conversation (even though he talked so low that I had to ask him to repeat himself about 10 times. Seriously.) and he was funny and I was thinking “ya know, I would give this guy another chance and go out with him again”. Well…then we leave and he texts me with “had a great time- thanks for meeting me out!” and I reply “I did too:)”….fast forward to an hour later when I get a text saying “So I guess I’m in the friend zone, huh?”… ugh…what? Ok weenie you weren’t exactly there yet, but now ya are. So I’m just left shaking my head not knowing what to reply as I’m driving to my next destination- to meet up with my friend Keelie.

Keelie has been wanting to set me up with her husband’s best friend for a long time. I’ve been hesitant because a) she’s kind of a hippie chick so I didn’t know if he would be too and b) it’s always bad when your friend sets you up if it goes bad and then things are awkward. But this time, I figured- what the hell. Went on a weird date- already look cute- why not?! So I meet up with her and meet the guy. Well- he winds up being awesome! We’ll call him “non-hippie guy”.. Totally cute, non-hippie, tall, built, half Italian, sweet, etc. And we’re both like “I’ve heard so much about you”, etc. and we totally hit it off. It was not awkward at all, and we had a great night! So he got my number, asked what I was doing the next day and that was it. Texted me on the way home with  “I’m so gla

d I finally met you- can’t wait to hang out again”. A perfect ending to a great day!

Saturday was another great day. Woke up, worked out, met up with my team for lunch and a few beers, and then played kickball. On my way home, “Non-Hippie Guy” actually called me (imagine that! Lol…) and asked me if I wanted to meet up with him to watch the Butler/Michigan state game at this bar. I told him that I had plans later that night, but would love to meet him up there. So I went home, showered fast, and headed up there. My friend Keelie and her husband met us up there too- so that was fun. We watched the game, drank some beers and had a great time. I was up there for a good 3 hours or so- and then my friend Jen met me up there. (oh- side note met some other guy at the bar who works out at my gym who was really nice- always weird to see people showered and in “real” clothes when you’re used to seeing them sweat it out!). So I said goodbye to “Non-Hippie guy’’ and he kissed me on the cheek…aww…shmoopie…and asked me if I would want to go out to dinner with him Wednesday night before I go out of town again for work on Thursday. So I said sure- and headed out with my girl.

So then me and Jen do “tour-de-buckhead” or what it seems. We stopped by one bar to see her friend and meet these guys- nothing too crazy- ran into some friends, then after we had been texting back and forth I went to meet up with this other guy that I had been talking to online. I figured why not- we were both out, I looked cute, and I had my friend with me for backup..lol…so we went to this other bar to meet up with him. He wound up being pretty cute and nice. But…for a 37 year old, may have been a little immature. But I’m not sure how much he had had to drink…lol…so that was fun- we stayed for a little bit (he asked me if I would go to lunch with him on Tues- which I agreed to) and then we headed to yet another bar. Ran into my best friend’s boyfriend’s friends- who had clearly been “over-served” 😉 but were in really fun mode, and bought us shots, etc. Also met some random dude at the bar who I only remember bits and pieces of our conversation with but for some reason he was lecturing me about how girls should never settle. Random… headed home not too long after, after what was yet another great day!

Then yesterday was Easter! Happy Easter everyone! Had a good day, slept in, then headed over to my parents’ house to lounge around. Ate some good food- they had gotten us lobster tails and drank some mimosas. Good times! Then headed home for some TV time then hit the sack early.

And that was the end to my great weekend! These are the days that make it all worthwhile 😉
