Hmm. There was about a 2 week time where I was going on dates. I felt pretty cool, I had a date on wed and thurs both weeks in a row. One of them was a blind date, something I'm new to but I'm on my way to becoming a spinster so I figured, why not? We talked well on the phone and the person that was setting us up said that he was tall and single and i'm tall and single, so it must work out. (thats the only criteria for tall girls as you may know.. jk) We met at this restaurant right across the street from his house, kinda awkward because that was the first time I had ever seen him... ever... I didn't even get a picture to prep with. Who knows, I could have gone out with the wrong person.
So we go in to the restaurant and one of the first things he says is that I remind him of his cousin. Hmm... I don't know about you but I think this is as bad as when Lars gets mad that people say Desiree and I look like sisters. I tried to brush that off and continue. We had a good dinner, picked our entrees together and shared. It was really good conversation, had some laughs. He did mention that he was a bit intimidated by my family. Apparently everyone is overwhelmingly accomplished for him. After dinner (mexican food) he admitted that he doesn't like dessert from Mexican restaurants, which is true, so he took me somewhere else for this apple tart thing. MMMM, it was amazing. So good. I almost asked for my own. Then he took me back to my car and that was it.
Well, I thought that was a good night, but apparently he didn't agree because I didn't get the second date call. Boo. Oh well I guess. I'm not everyone's type.
Lets see if there is anything else I missed....
OH, this isn't good news though, sorry. I did find out that one of my favorite teachers from high school passed away over the weekend from a heart attack. Mr Clark, he was a phenomenal teacher. How many people can say they remember things that their teacher taught in high school? Well I remember a lot more of what he taught than what other teachers did.
The story goes that he was out fishing with a friend and started having a heart attack and by the time they got to shore and found someone to help he was already gone. He is survived by his wife and 2 daughters ages 16 and 10. They're family is in shock as I'm sure we can all understand why.
Well, sorry my life isn't very note-worthy or exciting. One cool thing, I get to start summer hours next week at work. So now I work 8-6 (instead of 8-5) monday through thursday and fridays are all 8-12. I get extra time for the weekend. How awesome is that??
If you actually read my blog, I would like to know. Maybe it would give me more motivation for updating it and finding things in my life that may seem boring or normal to me but interesting to you. Let me know!!
Sweet dreams, goodnight!

Do you really think everything I write in my blog is interesting? It's just a different journal, as well as letting some people in on it because you wouldn't have to explain it over and over again.
That's so sad about Mr. Clark. He was "young" and such a good teacher.
Do you remember that I went on like 30+ blind dates in a semester, which made me hesitate before accepting to go on the one with Jeff? I had a method for telling how it'd go.1) If the guy was cute and we had fun, he didn' like me and would just "show me a good time". 2) If he did call back it'd hang on for a week or two then fizzle. 3) If he was ok looking or we kind of had a good time, I'd get a stocker (I really did have a few stockers).4)There were a few times where we both wouldn't feel it and nothing would happen. All I can say is, have fun, don't take it too personally because you know you are a great person, it's just not right, and move on. Sorry for the "big sister soapbox". I WUV YYOOUU!!!
I think they think we are sisters because we are both tall and brunette. But that is pretty much it. lol. And yes, people read your blog!
Yes, people read your blog. I have the one started, but have never done it since. Maybe I will have more time if you and Kirstin show me again how to do the whole thing. You are amazing! Just know that. I had a number of blind dates - just have fun.
I read it! I feel the lack of motivation thing... I feel my blogs are uninteresting as well. I think telling stories about my crazy clients are the only things that are interesting... haha!
oh my heavens I just found your blog!! I will read it from now on! I love and miss you!
