Well, I made it through a rough week. Yesterday I went to see the "miracle working" chiropractor. He fixed me all up. I told him I loved him. :)
No dates this weekend....really? you say. Yup...none. I am just hanging out with my "meet up" group and then hanging out with some out of town friends on Sunday. PG is busy with his son, so I had made plans. And, new guy wanted me to watch football with him on Sunday...but I wasn't giving up plans with my friends from college!
Oh I forgot to mention that PG came to see me during the week last week. What day...Monday night perhaps? I told him about the back pain I was having. It was excruitiating...enough to keep me in bed for 2 days. Seriously, you know it was bad because after about 1/2 day, I'm so ADHD that I have to get out of the house. But, Monday, I was going no where. It was rough. Any way, PG came up with some muscle relaxers for me. They barely touched the pain, but I could feel the muscles unknot in some places, so I know they were working. It was nice to have him there. I cuddled with him and we watched some of the football game together. The princess puppy jumped all over him and he didn't mind at all. He passed the "you must love my puppy" test! Hooray! He hugged and kissed me good bye. But, true to his name, he was a complete gentleman.
Ah that reminds me, new guy needs a name. And, I think our date needs some detail, huh? Let's see...so my gf had to move some stuff from her old place to her new place. And, we needed a truck. So I recruit new guy to help us out. I know, right? My friend thought it was crazy that I was putting him to work on our second date. But whatever. I've learned over the years that it really doesn't matter. If they like you, they like you and will do whatever. I thought it was just a table that we were going to move...but no, it was a table, two chairs, a book shelf and two plastic drawer things. It filled his truck right up. Then, as it turns out, he left his tools at my friend's old place. Doh! Any way, after we moved her into the new place, we went to dinner a local pub/restaurant. We had a nice time. He is still hung up on his last relationship, though. Lots of emotion there and not sure where it will end up. But at least for the time being he is a nice distraction. He's fun to email, text and chat with. I like the attention...is that bad to admit. Plus, I told him I we needed to take it slow. But I will name him Nice Distraction (ND) because I don't see it going anywhere until he gets over his past relationship.

My new song
I've been laid up the past couple of days with back pain. It sucks. I didn't go to work yesterday or today. M&M is missing me. So, he wrote me a song:
Slow down, you movin' too fast
How long is this back pain gonna’ last?
Just layin' around the bed all day
Lookin' for meds and
Feelin' groovy____________
Hello lampost
Am I hallucinatin’?
Damn! This little bottle is empty again!
Ain'tcha got no pills for me?
Doo Bee Doo Doo, still
Feelin' groovy____________
Got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the Mitsi drop her toys on me...
@#$! That hurts,
All is groovy
He also wrote me a pick one:
Pick One: What should C do today?
A) Command her minions from bed to do her evil bidding
B) Recite Dread Pirate Roberts monologue: It's possible, Pig, I might be bluffing. It's conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. But, then again... perhaps I have the strength after all. [slowly rises and points sword directly at the prince] DROP... YOUR... SWORD!
C) Gather Mitsi and hold a pretend lunch at Pei Wei with Mitsi playing the part of M&M
D) Scream at the top of your lungs “HUMMER! HUMMER! Where is that FOOL with my HUMMER!”
E) Oooo..... Robert Redford is on Oprah today!
F) Create Facebook Page for M&M
G) make hand puppets of Monty Python Holy Grail characters and hurl insults back and forth
I know I am a blessed person to have such friends!

Stupid men
It's PJ's birthday today. I sent him a text wishing him a happy birthday. I wish I had forgotten because his text back was along the lines of "I'm getting old but not dead yet." Nothing personal, nothing along the lines of concern as to how I am. It makes me so sad. How can he be so cold toward me. I guess it is what he needs to do. I guess he really does want me to move on. I'm trying but I know if he were to show up on my doorstep today and put his arms around me, I'd let him. I'd let him back into my life. But, he doesn't seem to plan on doing it, so I have to continue to plod along.
This weekend I met PG at a house party. There was wine, pizza, and music. Our friend was playing the blues and I was dancing. It felt good to dance with PG. After the music was over, we sat and chatted for a bit. He was very affectionate. He walked me to my car and asked me to drive him to his. For the first time, he kissed me with a real kiss. He wanted to come home with me but I declined. I thought the girls would be here and didn't think it'd be appropriate to have him here with me. Nothing besides cuddling would have happened, but they would still see it as more. Instead, I drove down to his place in the morning for breakfast and then a hike. On the hike, he was very affectionate as well. I had to meet some friends for movies, so when we got back to his place, I took off. I'm trying to protect myself from falling too hard for him. He said he wants to date because he hasn't done that in the past and he doesn't want to screw up again. I understand that, but don't trust the relationship.
So, as a result, I went out with another guy. I met him for dinner and drinks last Tuesday. He's a runner and works for my BFE's favorite service. He retired from another service, though. I've never really dated a guy who was in the service. I should say, I only went on one date with a guy who was in the service. Thus, dating doesn't apply. He is really into me. I like that. I know, how pathetic am I. We actually have a ton in common...other than the fact that he has three kids under the age of 11. He has one son the same age as Boo. He was married twice. He seems very down to earth and sweet. He is close to my age. My only concern is he will smother me. Any way, date #2 is tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. If well, perhaps I'll name him.
As far as CB goes, well nothing there. His birthday was last Tuesday. I sent him an email and a text message wishing him Happy Birthday. He responded thanks to the text and nothing to the email. I chose not to email him the rest of the week. He is too lazy when it comes to relationships. And, basically, since I have other guys paying attention to me, I see no reason not to cut him loose. So really, as far as I'm concerned, it's over with him.

Underwear Thief
I love my dog. She is the absolute cutest dog on the face of the planet. Sorry, you might think you have a cute one but mine is small and her face makes her look like a perpetual puppy. She is adorable. She loves me unconditionally. When I get home, she jumps onto my lap, puts her paws on my shoulders and snuggles me. She makes little whimpering noises, as if to tell me, how rough her day was while I was away. I tell her the same back.
But, this wonderful, adorable, ever loving dog has one major problem. She is an underwear thief. Yes, she seeks out underwear and steals them. I live with two young ladies (just over the teenager line). They know we live with an underwear thief, too. But, the thief is as sneaky as they come and manages to seek out and find underwear to steal. She will go through laundry baskets (clean or dirty, she is not discriminating) to find the underwear and steal them. Then, after she steals them, she chews on them. They are usually quite ruined. Well, unless you want to wear holey underwear, not to be confused with holy underwear – which is a totally different story about when I was a child and we talked about it being okay to wear “holey” underwear to church. I don’t even know why I remembered that or even what the context was. What a strange childhood I had. Oh, I digress. ADHD…where was I? Oh yes, the underwear is then ruined. This has been happening for a long time now. We all try to keep our underwear safe, but the minute we let our guard down – BAM the thief hits!
Finally, my brilliant Boo decided to just let the underwear thief keep a pair that she had pretty much ruined. So the thief then carries this pair of underwear with her at all times. When she is downstairs in her “bed”, the underwear are on the living room floor about 2 feet away. When she is in the kitchen watching me cook (aka hoping for a food accident that she can “clean” up), the underwear are on the floor in there. When she comes to bed at night, (in my room), the underwear are brought in, as well. She plays with them when I dress in the morning. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. It is a bit disturbing.
But, this morning, after finding “her underwear” next to two additional pair of ruined underwear (Boo’s not mine!) on my bedroom floor, I have come to the conclusion that the thief cannot be cured. When I asked the thief why she stole them, “she just sighed and laid her head down.” She just can’t seem to quit. My adorable, sweet puppy is addicted to underwear.

Lessons Learned
As we enter into the evil month of November, I'd like copy and paste this life's lessons to remind myself of things to remember...
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8.Pay off your credit cards every month.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
35. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come...
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
