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.

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!

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.

Unsurprisingly people brought too much carry-on luggage on to this regional plane.

Hil, relevant to your question on FB, there are two guys at the airport who are having a conversation and switching between English and (I assume) Arabic.

I just volunteered to be bumped for $800. Now I see if it works out.
