I’m not sure how my folks would feel about Mr. New York, since he’s black (and my parents are older and have some old-fashioned ideas… not that that excuses it) and fifty-two. I always attract older guys – when I was in my twenties I attracted guys in their forties, and now in my thirties I attract guys in their fifties.
He also wants kids and I really don’t, but if he’s otherwise the perfect person I would make the sacrifice to have kids if he felt strongly enough about it…
I met a guy online I really like. He is in New York now but moving here soon. He is very handsome and well-spoken. I feel a definite spark.
Meanwhile, I told another nice guy I went out with a couple times that although I like him, I don’t feel that romantic passion. Too bad…
I’m doing the online dating thing. It’s been a mixed bag so far…
A guy I met online came over Friday night for swimming but turned out to be a loser. At first, things were going well. He told me he was more comfortable with me than he’d ever been with any other woman, etc. But at the end of the night, things took a negative turn. He is far more into the physical side of a relationship than I am, at least early on – it takes me a while to develop the comfort level and trust needed for that stuff. So he ridiculed me, saying no man would accept my “old-school” attitude. He also had the nerve to tell me I’m a bad kisser. Well, I know a number of other men who would say quite the opposite! 
So, anyway, I told this guy that I didn’t think we were compatible. I don’t need a guy who tries to make me feel bad about my value system and way of operating in a relationship. Or my kissing skills.
Then, last night, I was supposed to go dancing with another guy, but the club was closed. But the guy never made it that far, because he got lost. So he called me and we planned to meet at a Denny’s midway between where he was and I was. But even though I told him exactly where the Denny’s was and how to get there, he got lost again. So I told him to forget it. And I said he seems like a nice guy, but getting together seems to be too complicated, so we should just let things go. He didn’t do a whole lot for me anyway, based on the online interaction we’d had, so no big deal.
Sunday was much better. I had a lunch date with another guy, and he was actually on time, and he was a good conversationalist. I enjoyed myself a great deal and would definitely see him again. He’s a little old, though – fifty – but oh well, at least that makes him more mature than some guys closer to my age.
I have a lunch date next weekend with yet another guy. He seems really nice, so I am looking forward to it…
My vet says not to worry about Murray’s patch of thinning fur. He said the change in seasons may be a factor (though it doesn’t SEEM to be getting any cooler, LOL). The vet must be honest, because if he really wanted my money, he would play upon my fears and act all concerned and say that a bunch of expensive tests needed to be run.
So – I will just keep an eye on things and TRY not to worry! 
Today I’m just working a half-day, and the first thing I will do when I go in will be to go to lunch. A FREE lunch – the bosses are treating us today as a thank-you for all our hard work on getting the new layout system up and running. Free lunch rocks.
Took Murray to the vet last night for vaccinations and check-up, and he’s lost some more weight since the last time he was in. Three ounces since late July. He’s a big boy and can stand to lose a little weight, but I hope he will come to a point where he stabilizes.
Another concern is the fact that the vet found a spot on Murray’s back where his fur appears to be thinning. I hope something can be done to prevent it getting worse, but I don’t know what could be done…
I found out that hyperthyroidism can be a cause of hair loss in cats, and since Murray’s also losing weight, I’m wondering whether he should be checked for that. I e-mailed my vet about it. However, the vet didn’t seem too concerned last night, so maybe it’s nothing I should worry about.
The Packers played well and won their first game of the season last night, and Rodgers looked good at quarterback. It was also a good weekend for my fantasy football team, which won its first “game.” Yay!
I got my tickets to visit my friends in San Diego. We talked about maybe going to the zoo and/or Wild Animal Park, and we’re going dancing once or twice. It should be a fun trip.
I decided to upgrade my cell phone to a Blackberry and get e-mail and Internet service on it, since the Nazis at work have blocked a bunch of websites and are monitoring Internet usage. With the new phone, during the many, interminable down times at work, I’ll be able to surf wherever I please on the Net, and not have to worry about my time online being monitored. So soon I will be able to do Facebook at work again (and MySpace and Twitter and whatever else the company blocks). And blog…
… the highlight of my Friday night was sitting around chatting online with a bunch of old ladies pretending to be cats.
I miss my dancing buddies!!
I need to get back on my diet. I did so well, losing forty pounds in just a few months. But for the last couple of months, I’ve been mired in some really bad habits again, getting cookies from the vending machine at work, eating lots of fast food, ordering lots of pizza, etc. I’ve got to stop it and start eating less, and better, again. I want to lose more weight, and it will never happen if I don’t get back in good habits.
