There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

That is exactly what I just told him. I slept in and have made brunch for me and my son since I had not heard anything.

I think he may work weekends and has just not said that.

I am firm on wanting a first meet with people I do not know to be during the day and he just asked what my week looked like.

Well, I guess sorting out how to communicate well enough to arrange the first meeting is a suitable first level for dating.

I don't know if I can make myself do anything today. It's not super hot, I'm not dreadfully tired, I just want to stay curled up in bed and read.

I had let him know that I thought meeting in the middle between us was good and that I could get anywhere in the area, but did not know of any restaurants. He said "I'll find one" and so I left it, against all my bossy and planney tendencies because I am trying not to be pushy control freak.

I can do spontaneous unknowing details stuff with people I know, because I know 1) they will be there and 2) I will enjoy myself. It is much harder for me to do it/if not impossible with an unknown entity.

We are making plans for next weekend. I am setting a firm time and will nail down a location TODAY.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Honestly, someone who thinks last-minute plans are the way to act on best behavior (which is what I assume people are doing before you've even met) is probably not someone for you, unless you are willing/interested in being the boss of everything.

You guys, I went to my favorite taco place and they made a batch of posole, so I got some to go since I wanted a taco & some too and...so much posole! They gave me like a quart! It's very good, but I think I'm gonna have to freeze some.

And now I should gear up to go to the water ballet. It's Sharkspeare.

Good call. Nothing wrong with planniness.

Sharkspeare! How wonderful.

I have done All The Things! Saw family, hosted friends, went to a concert, and have even washed one load of sheets in order to return the borrowed air mattress. Phew!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We went to a 50th anniversary party today for one of my mom's cousins, and ltc charmed everyone. She danced and hugged everyone and was just so delightful.
