After a fantastic long weekend in North Carolina visiting 2 dear friends – one in Raleigh and one in Charlotte, I must admit I was eager to be home and see T. We both were traveling this weekend so we had some mega phone time while driving. 

I got to see T last night and my goodness this man is sweeping me off my feet…

Domestic Goddess

I cooked for T last night, I was nervous because my cooking skills are good, but I’m not confident in them. I made:

  • cheese magic as an appetizer AKA havarti wrapped in crescent rolls
  • my well known sesame seed and soy sauce green beans
  • spicy roasted red potatoes that my roommate gave me the recipe for
  • and I cheated with an apple and almond stuffing stuffed pork chops
  • I also bought a build your own 6 pack of beer 

He really liked everything, gave little compliments throughout. After dinner we watched 2 episodes of Full House from my full series DVDs (if you know me you know I LOVE Full House). Such a great night with him, so much so that it’s a little bittersweet that I’m headed out of town tomorrow and won’t be back until Monday.

I am totally savoring this stage, it’s the best. I can’t wipe the smile off my face 😀

Weekend Amazingness Recap

Friday

  • Actually had a great day at work and left early to start my weekend
  • Met T (new guy I’ve been seeing) at his place and met both of his roommates, one roommates girlfriend, and a boy neighbor. All of them were super cool.
  • We all headed out to Jazz in the Garden which was packed, but lovely. Great people watching, lots of hand holding, and stolen kisses.
  • Had a “girl code” moment with roommate’s girlfriend who grabbed by purse while I was in the bathroom when they group was switching locations. The boys thought we were crazy when we talked about looking out for purses is an unspoken girl code.
  • After Jazz we headed back to their apt and hung out, the group then went to another bar for the night, but T and I stayed back…

Saturday

  • Somehow after lots of snuggling and very little sleep I was up at 8am to head to southern MD for a swim lesson with my old roommate’s dad
  • driving 65 miles with a smitten hangover is no easy feat. Doing swimming drills for an hour is also hard.
  • I got TONS of great advice and techniques from my friend’s dad. my friend little sister was there to demonstrate techniques as well.
  • I need A LOT OF WORK, but I feel educated and know I have 4 weeks to make a marked improvement. I now know what to what to work on and how to structure my pool time. Goals are good things. 
  • On my drive home while at a gas station, I saw a facebook notification that a wine tasting party I was going to was at 2pm, not 4:30pm like I thought. I was like 30 miles away and not showered. 
  • Let the hostesses know I was going to be late, booked homed, showered, and ran out the door. 
  • Had a blast with the girls and guys at the tasting, but I was so tired that the wine was making me sleeping.
  • Texted with T, who had gone back to sleep until 1pm – jealous!
  • I came home and napped while watching OITNB until I finally put myself to sleep at 11. 

Sunday

  • Slept like a freaking champion
  • Woke up on my own with enough time to go to church
  • While at church got a text from T wanting to take me to lunch
  • Went to lunch in old town with T and then walked a ton of the Mount Vernon trail towards Mount Vernon reading like every historical marker. We then hung out by the water in Belle Haven park for a long while just taking, laughing, smooching etc
  • When T dropped me off at home (I was nearly late for a dinner date with my roommate because we lost track of time) he already asked to see me this week before my long weekend in NC
  • Had an awesome roommate date for Pho, my first time and I loved it.

I’m going to have T over tomorrow and cook AND have him meet Freddie. T’s pretty freaking great. I’m a smitten kitten, but I’m trying to just let things happen. I’ve let things fizzle out with the other guy I went out with twice. We texted some Wed and Thurs, but I haven’t reached out since then. I’m not really the dating multiple people at once kinda girl anyway, especially since I really like T.

I apparently found one of the few men in his 30s who is willing to pick up the phone to firm up plans for a date that he is planning – we’re going to meet up with some of his friends at Jazz in the Garden (aka the exact date I would have planned). Him calling led to us talking, flirting, bantering, and giggling (more me than him) for 45 minutes! #swoon

Finding balance and the switch up

This morning was day 22 of the bodypump/hybrid workout. Like I’ve said before I am really enjoying the change up in work outs. 

Friday I worked out before I left for my reunion weekend and Sunday evening I even worked out when I got home.

I squeezed in a workout yesterday before a date and I worked out this morning before work because of a date I have this evening. 

I’m juggling 2 guys right now, both very early into things (2 dates and 3 dates). I’m very intrigued…

BOOKED

I just schedule my first set back to back dates in a loooong while. The first one is a first date for drinks and the second date is a second date for dinner and drinks. Luckily both in Old Town Alexandria (opposite ends of King Street). 

I wish I could swing this more often. 1 cute outfit/hair style for 2 dates is called being efficient!
