...is this thing still on? Is there anyone even still reading? I've become a passive blogger. I state this everytime I actually blog these days don't I? It's guilt. It's like my Facebook activity, I'm a VERY passive FB'r. I just can't get into it.
Anyway, I hope those who are still stopping by had a great July 4th! Mine was great, very relaxing! It started with a VERY last minute trip to Vegas to meet up with Miss M from SF. Who knew that Vegas could be relaxing? Even in 104 degree heat? Here's the trick....get up early and be at the pool by 8am. You can tolerate it until about 11am when you could probably fry an egg on the pool cool deck. Then retreat inside (which isn't hard in Vegas), go to the spa and chill all afternoon. Wander the hotel, eat and then people watch. Repeat.
The only memorable and funny thing that happened was that we got LOCKED in our room before we left to go out one night. Yes, LOCKED IN! We had to call the front desk. They sent up security who knocked on our door and keep knocking. Until Miss M yelled, "we can't open the door! we are locked in!". Then they put their master key in and let is out. Not the place you want to be stuck in your room, Vegas. Unless you are a couple, I suppose.
Speaking of couples.....I went on 2 dates last week. One with Fit Man and another with Shore Guy. Both were nice guys. Both were easy dates. I'm not sure if the chemistry for me is there, but they both expressed how they really liked getting to know me and wanted to see me again. Shore Guy has been texting me since (including moments after we left each other), however, hasn't really asked me out again. He just texted the other night about how, "we need to catch up soon". Fit Man - who is being called that b/c he seems to be sort of obsessed with his body (last night I told Col and PL girl, that maybe he is man-o-rexic). Don't get me wrong for 43yo he is in great shape, and has no problem letting you know and talking about it ALL. OF. THE. TIME. He had asked me in emails before we met twice, what it was about his profile or him (re: his body) that I found attractive. While he is nice, I don't think I'm all that attracted or interested. Last night he emailed asking if we could meet up tonight, but if we could do so after he worked out b/c he wants to get back into his regime and b/c he ate 15 pieces of bacon on Sunday.
Shore Guy is very sweet. Slightly shy. We have a very similar palate and interests and cross-country living. Bc he is slightly shy, I felt like I had to be "on" to keep things going. Nonetheless nice, smart and sweet. How many times have I used "nice" and "sweet" to describe him? We'll see.
I think with the holidays recently and overall it being summer, things online have slowed. I've got another month to go before I expire (pun intended), so we'll see.
I would go out with Shore Guy again, if he asks me. If not, that' ok, too. As for Fit Man.....as the moments drag on, I find maybe it's only fair to just stop here if I am not interested.
I've been reading your blog for a couple of years now. Always great to stop by- even when you're being "passive." Love the read!

if someone described me as "nice, smart & sweet" i'd take it as a BIG compliment. ;)
