Christmas was good

I had a pretty good Christmas. Lots of good food and time with family. Santa was good to me as well, I got am mp3 player, dvds, books, and stuff for my house. Yay! Oh, and I also got a pair of toronto maple leaf fuzzy dice for Zeke (my car). Cool! I am so glad to have this week off work. I was ready for a break. I still love my job, just needed a little time to relax.

I went out with blondecurls again last night. We went to a sportsbar to watch the leafs game. And they won - yay! I really like blondecurls, he is a great guy. I'm not sure if we would work as a couple, but I would definately like to get to know him better and hang out with him. Who knows what may happen. I'm not sure he's the one for me, but hey, I could always use more cool guys to hang out with.

I finally have date #2 with tallboy tomorrow. I was supposed to go out with him last week, but had to cancel because I wanted to go to my brother's play.

Scorpio also wants to see me again. I'm not sure I really want to see him again though. I may go out with him for a third time and then make my decision on whether to break the poor dears heart and tell him I'm not interested.

There are 2 other guys who want to meet me, I just haven't had time to set anything up with them yet. Man, I'm so busy! What am I going to do when I have to fit work into my schedule again?!?! :P

Okay, he's hot.

Last night, I went with a friend to see blondecurls' band play here in town. Holy cow, there's something about lead singers, they are totally hot! I really enjoyed his show. I basically just sat there and drooled ;)

We talked a bit before he went on and after his set as well, and he expressed interest that he would like to see me again. So, I'm going to wait a day or two if I haven't heard from him and send him and email and try to set something up.

Watching him on stage, my friend and I came to the following conclusions:

- he is totally hot (as mentioned above)
- he has the best hair (so cute, you just want to touch it! My friend told me to give her all the details on his hair if I get to touch it)
- he has killer arms
- he has a really good butt
- he has a good sense of style

Other than all the shallow, appearance-typed attributes, he also seems like a super-nice guy. The kind of guy you could take home to mom. I haven't got to spend a lot of time with him one-on-one yet, so hopefully that will change soon! Then I can get a better idea of what he's really like. My first impression says he's a good one, but, you never know. Here's hoping. And, if he turns out not to be a good one, I still have several more guys that want to meet me. So many men, so little time ;)

Scrapbooking fun!

I did about 4 or 5 pages in the scrapbook for my grandmother today. My mom and I are giving it to her for Christmas. It is going to be all about her adventures in Canada, starting from when she came over from Germany on a boat over 50 years ago. She is going to be so surprised, especially since she probably doesn't even know these pictures exist! I think we are about 1/3 finished the book, which isn't bad considering we only started it on Monday evening. We should be done by Christmas, no problem ;)

So, last night, I had to cancel my date with tallboy since my brother's homeschooling group was putting on Romeo and Juliet. They had been working on it for months, so I really wanted to go and watch it. Tom played Mercutio, he did such a good job!

On Thursday evening, I am going to watch blondecurls band play here in town. If you want to check him out, his band's website is: http://www.batwband.com/ and he is the lead singer. Then you will see why I call him blondecurls ;) He seems excited that I am coming out to watch him play, hopefully I will get to spend some 1-on-1 time with him sometime next week since I have the week off! Yay!

Only 2 more days of work this year! I don't go back until January 2, 2006! Yay!

3 dates in 4 days makes c-dub a tired girl

On friday evening, I did end up hearing from blondecurls. I gues he has been really busy with a big show with his band coming up and didn't get my email until then. So, we met up last night for a pint to mourn the terrible loss that the leafs incurred against the sens. Even though I was sad about the loss, I had a great time with blondecurls. He is a really cool guy. Of the 3 guys I have recently had dates with, I feel the best connection with blondecurls. So, we'll see. He's the only one of the 3 that I don't have a second date set up with. I'm hoping he wants to see me again, but who knows. Only time will tell. I wish I could know what he thought of the first date! Although, if I thought there was a connection, chances are he did too.

The good news and the bad news

Which do you want first?

The bad news is that I still haven't heard from the guy that I am supposed to be meeting up with on Saturday, blondecurls I'll call him. I just don't get it. He was all keen on meeting, so we set a date, and then I never heard back from him. It doesn't really matter to me if he's changed his mind, that just doesn't make sense because he was so gung-ho about it. Men!

The good news is that the guy I had the date with tonight, scorpio I'll call him, and it went really well! I didn't realize that he's quite a bit younger than me. He is 3 years younger, but you wouldn't know it. He is quite mature for his age, in that he has a full-time permanent job and recently bought his own house. So, I guess we're at the same point in our lives. He's a really nice guy, we seem to have a connection, too early to tell for sure, but I would like to see him again. I think he wants to see me again too.

I also have a second date with tallboy (don't you love all these names I made up for all my men?) on Tuesday. I don't think it was a match, but I want to go on a second date to see what happens. Sometimes it's hard to tell with a first meeting.

Anybody watch CSI Miami last night?

I fell asleep before the end, so I missed the ending. I saw up until the part when the found the brother. Can anybody fill me in on how it ended?

I hope everyone is having a good Christmas season! Hard to believe it's less than 2 weeks away now! I still have some shopping to do, but I'm in pretty good shape.

I have 2 more dates lined up for this week, 1 on Thursday, 1 on Saturday. I am more excited about the one on Saturday because it seems like that guy and I would be a better match, but you never know. Should be a good week!

So many men...

...so little time!

Man, doing this online thing, I have about 6 or 7 guys who want to meet me. It is a little overwhelming!

I met "tallboy" last night. We went and had a beer and I made a fool of myself during a couple of games of pool. Man, I suck at that game. But I had a good time nonetheless! He is a really nice guy, I'm just don't think it's a match. He is keen on seeing me again, so I may get together with him for a second date, we'll see.

I have a first date with another guy set up for next saturday night. We're going to go to a sports bar and watch the leafs game together. He suggested it...how perfect is that?!?! I like this guy already ;)

I think I'm turning into a guy. Never before have I dated more than one person at a time, even if it is the non-committal casual getting to know each other type stuff. It's fun!

Well, I'm headed off soon to my department's christmas party (yes, we have one in addition to the company one that was last weekend). I am getting a ride with a coworker, so I can drink at this one! Yay!

T minus 1 hour

I have a date will "tallboy" (let's call him) in 1 hour. I'm not nervous yet, although I may be. I guess I don't really have any expectations, so I have no reason to be nervous. If we don't click, I don't have to see him again. I have plenty of other prospects ;)

Oh crap

Just got a call from my tenants. Apparently, the 4 hours dad and I spent at the house didn't entirely fix the problem. Well, now, instead of the faucet running in the tub, there is streams of water from the kitchen cieling whenever someone takes a shower. So, back to the drawing board. Dad and I will likely have to take the tiles off again (good thing we have extras!). I have a feeling it is the pipe going up to the showerhead that is the problem. Likely needs some new sauder joints. That's just all I needed. Another phone call that it's still not working. Sheesh. The good news is that there is a shower in the main floor bathroom. It is not nearly as nice as the upstairs one, but they can use it in the meantime before the other one is fixed. Sigh, the joys of owning an older home!

I was a handywoman today

I had to go down to my house with my Dad to fix the faucet in the shower. It was quite a job! We had to rip out some of the tiles, cut the pipes, re-sauder the pipes, fix all the leaks (which took a few attempts and had to cut one of the pipes again and install new pipe and joints), re-drywall, re-tile... it was quite the job! Took us 4 hours in total. It was so great that my Dad helped me, I had to pay for the parts ($120) and then I bought him a case of beer for all his hard work. We also had to replace a light fixture. So it was a long morning! But, everything is fixed, so hopefully that will keep my tenants happy for a little while at least. Sigh, ownership of an older house... lots of upkeep required! I just can't wait until I move in and have everything just the way I want it.

I'm headed off to my company's Christmas party in a couple hours. Should be good times! I think I'm going to drive to this one. It's a cash bar and I don't really want to spend the money. Next Saturday is my department's Christmas party, and I already scored a ride with someone else to that, so I can drink that night.

In other news, since lj went on lavalife, I decided I would give it another go. So, I've been on again for a few weeks. I have found a lot of cool people and I have a date on friday to meet one of them. Of course, now I'm doing the whole nervous wreck freak out thing. He wanted to pick me up, but since I barely know him, I thought it would be better to meet there. We're doing to a local pool place/pub for a couple beers and some pool.

It's a busy time of year!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Yay! Today marks the beginning of the Christmas season... let the celebration begin! Happy hoho everyone!

I am headed to a christmas social with my mummy at a local bar... and apparently it's half price martini night - this could be trouble!
