hey hey

Yeah, I figured you smart bloggers would figure it out. I just didn't feel like writing much more yesterday, so thought I'd just start with that.

I have to say, I've actually gotten bored the last few days. Now, my laundry is totally done, my ironing is done, my house is fairly clean (although I haven't been bored enough to clean the baseboards and dust again), I've picked things up every day. I've read every magazine I have. I had planned to visit Village Creek State Park next Saturday with someone, but since that's out...I was thinking of doing that tomorrow. But it's not fun by myself. I need to find some single friends around here. My best bud Elissa is coming up in a few weeks!!!! AND, she's bringing me a "try-out" cat, Gumbo. If we don't suit, Gumbo will go home with her again. I'm hoping Gumbo & I will suit though - apparently, she's verbal (she likes to be talked to, which would be good practice for me!). If she's affectionate too, then we're all set. And I think that could make me wear my blue tshirt proudly (it says: Tell me again why is it I need a boyfriend?). :-) Here's a picture of Elissa and me in DC - note the beautiful cherry blossoms.

So what happened? in a nutshell - not much. Scott said he just wasn't interested in dating, which I had figured out. When he couldn't tell me why he was dating me, when he stopped calling, when all he emailed were his needs/obstacles, when he didn't ask me to the lake, when he didn't stick around, when he acted like he didn't want to be with me alone...yeah I get the picture. And honestly, though I feel like a loser sometimes, it was probably for the best. We didn't really have that much in common. He's still not sure what he wants to do with his life (me neither) but it almost certainly includes living in Australia, he's way more outgoing & friendly than me (which explains why he's so busy with all his friends and had so little time for me), he hates dating (because he might have to break up with someone!). Now me, I tend to be a bit more optimistic. I look at each one with bright eyes wondering if they will be the one to catch this great fish. :-) They will fall hook, line, and sinker. But, usually, I just swim away. This time, he was just a faster swimmer than me. hahaha. I'm trying to be humorous and upbeat - if you couldn't tell. But I can appreciate the good things - I think I am a better person for having known him. He taught me a lot - to try to more spontaneous, more adventurous, less fearful, more kind, to try new things and ideas, get a different perspective, enjoy the water and the wind in my face, to love quiet sunsets and to marvel at the colors God created. I don't think he got as much from me, but hopefully I gave him some things to think about anyway.

By the way, the title of this post is the line after "another one bites the dust - hey hey, another one bites the dust - heeeeayahayheayheyay." :-) Y'all have a good week-end.
