Aren't we adorable?!?

You guys crack me up! Ok, so Kelly met the family on Sunday, which happened to be my Dad's birthday celebration. It went really well, but I knew it would cuz he's great and so is my family. I will, however try and refrain from exclusively posting about how gaga I am over my new boyfriend. Hmmmmmm.....Ummmmmm....just wait I'm thinking.....There was this one time when Kelly...wait... no...that's about him too. I know I had a life before he came along, but damned if I can remember any of it right now!
So Sunday morning Kelly and I were hanging out at my place, but I have a very important Sunday ritual which involves my sister's couch, her tv, and two and a half glorious hours of Coronation street. So I headed off to my sis' place, and he was gonna hang out at mine until I returned. When I got home he was standing there lookin all gorgeous, so I went over and gave him some hello smooches and snuggles. He told me that he popped out to do a few things while I was gone. He goes, "while I was out, I wanted to get you the perfect single rose, but every one I looked at was slightly flawed in some way. I couldn't find one that was perfect....so I had to get you a dozen instead." So I look over and see these.






I know, right? Could he BE any sweeter?!? Sigh........

So this guy that I've been seeing is really great. We'll call him "Kelly" mostly cuz that's his name. I met his little 9 year old daughter over the weekend, and we played with beads, baked cookies, and goofed off a little. Since she lives on the island right now, Kelly had to take her across on the ferry to drop her back off with her mom. So I decided to keep him company and went with them. Well, I know it's hard to believe, but I kind of made them late for the ferry, so we missed it and had to catch the next one. Once we boarded we had the chance to play around a little, played some "go fish," (cheated my ass off) watched her do card tricks, watched her climb around the pathetic little play area on the boat.

Anyhoo, then we docked and met up with her mom (BRRRRRRRR) It was a bit of a chilly reception, though I don't know why. They've been parted for 2 years and she's in a relationship of her own. I guess it was just uncomfortable for her. Oh well.

The thing is, it was fun. Doesn't seem to matter what we do , where we go. I'm happy just to be with him. We laugh alot, we talk alot, and he has the best arms for hugging I've ever felt. Sigh...(goofy grin)

Hmmmmmm

So I've seen this guy from Plenty of fish a few times now and if I didn't know better, I'd say I've got a crush on him. I've been walking around grinning like an idiot for a week now. I'm driving in my car all by myself, and people must think I'm one sandwich short of a full picnic by the way I'm smiling. I catch myself drifting off to la la land while watching tv or doing someone's hair, and when I come back to reality, there's that silly smile again. Hmmmmmmm...

In other news, I have a crush on the guy that I've been seeing...oh wait, that's the same news;)

So last night I went on a coffee date with a guy I've been chatting with on plentyoffish.com. He was very funny and we got along great! We laughed and talked so long, I was late meeting my sister, who I had made plans to see. In fact, she had called me three times on my cel, checking to make sure I wasn't stuffed in the trunk of this guys car or something. (I didn't want to answer my phone cuz it's rude, but I did pick up the third time, getting the hint that someone was trying to get a hold of me) I felt so bad, I was only 15 minutes late or something, but she was ready to hop into her car and drive to Starbucks to make sure I was okay. She ended up getting a hold of me, and then the battery in my phone died. Anyway, after borrowing this guy's phone to call her back, I said goodbye to my new friend and hooked up with my sis, who lectured me on the safety precautions one should take when Internet dating. I did tell her who I was with and where we were going to be, I took my own car, and met in a public place, but I should have made sure my phone was charged, and I should have kept my eye on the time so it would have clicked that she was trying to contact me. Sigh. This dating thing is hard!
Okay, so I said this guy was really great and funny and had some very thoughtful and intelligent things to say. We'll see how it goes...

My Birthday in Shades of Green.

So today's my Birthday, and I'm feeling a little green. I only have one client booked, a set of highlights, and besides that, I'm gonna lay low. I got a super cute 'e card' from my Aunt Ellen and Uncle Curtis this morning, and it put a big ole smile on this face. I got emails from friends, phone calls from family, and an 'e rose' from a guy I've been chatting with on Plentyoffish.com (pretty much a picture of a rose.)

Last Sunday, we celebrated my birthday at the same time as my sister's, whose was a week ago. We had some nibblies and a birthday fruit flan. My sis and I find cake so sweet, We never feel good after, so we went with something a little less sickening. I got a really cute purse from my sis, my brother got us each a gift certificate for $100 to spend at a really nice spa (can't wait to use it) and my parents got me an exercise dvd that I saw on tv and wanted called 'turbo jam' along with a really cute hat in the style of a newsboy cap.

I almost drowned in my own saliva this morning at the mall. Just thought I'd pop in and buy myself a little something, and as I was about to enter I inhaled and suddenly I was choking to death. Tears were squirting out of my eyes as I hacked for my life. 35 years old and I still don't know which tube is for breathing and which is for swallowing. By the time I'd managed to save myself from certain drowning, I looked really pretty with my red puffy eyes and snotty nose. I felt like a real peach.

Note to self: Saliva is for swallowing...not for inhaling. Saliva/air, confusing the two can be hazardous! ehem.
