Of course, I would need DC to come back to town to remind me of reason 11 and after last night, reason 12 has appeared for the list of reasons I'm still single.
11. Ballz - I tried to forget this one as quickly as it happened. I went out with him in either January or February. Well, in any event we went to this event center and did rock climbing and bowling. I won't get into how he knew I wasn't suppose to be doing any physical activity and if you have tried rock climbing - well there is no way you won't break out in a sweat. The nice touch to the end of the date...I got to pay my half. LOVE it!
12. EB/E4B - The E is for Eager, the B is for Beaver. You can translate the 4. He and I have been talking via phone/text messaging but haven't actually met in person. But, what one needs to know is that he thought it was necessary to call me at 2 am. I am confused, am I still in college?

Top 10 Reason's I'm Single
So yesterday I met Runner for a bike ride. It had been way too long since we seen each other and way too long for me to be seperated from my bike. But as Runner pointed out, it is great when you have the ability to catch up with a friend and get in a GREAT workout - 14 miles to be exact. Of course, she said I have to blog about this stuff, so here we go.
Dating it today's world - well if you are not having to do it, count your blessings and then count them 500 times more. No longer do you have school to meet guys, I don't care to dip the pen in the ink well at work just because it gets too messy. Bars, well you know that one. So, then there is internet dating. The ability to avoid all honesty - well it is so easy for them and seriously - it brings out the weirdo’s.
10. Chef Man - I feel it is fitting that I start with him first. He was one of the 'normal' ones. Of course we got along great but our opposite hours and having every role reversed probably didn't help. (He liked baths, I prefer showers. He liked movies, I preferred football)
9. Sergeant Drama/Copier Man/NY Man - Plenty of blog time has been given credit to this guy. In a perfect world in normal circumstances, I could of seen this one working. However, that being said - when has it been normal and perfect? He is still in the Army and currently on lock down in San Antonio. When will I hear from him, I don't know.
8. Trouble – T is still around, just as a friend. He works a crazy insane amount and hasn’t really been in Austin since the first of the year. He is going to be in Dallas for the next month if that tells you anything.
7. Vanilla Horndog - Well I haven't blogged about him for awhile and Vanilla still applies but since he is coming out of a divorce, he can't just date one person. He wants to date half of Austin. Apparently on the website we met, he actually messaged one of my friends on that site. He came clean before my friend had a chance to tell me about it and fortunately I am blessed with a great friend that wouldn't date someone I have dated. So, where he and I stand - I don't know - I just don't want to be half of Austin if you know what I mean.
6. 6th Street Guy - this is a flash back to one of my first dates in Austin. This guy - well he thought it would be FUN to go to 6th Street for a second date on a Friday night. Just think 'O' Street times 4 for a second date. Priceless.
5. BB - Babies & Baggage - this guy well you needed Cliff Notes to keep track of his life. The two babies with two different mommas and then two different wives but they weren't both the baby momma's. As one expects - it didn't go past the first date.
4. Childish Games - really this one never got to a face to face and I am so okay with that. See he felt it was childish that I wouldn’t guarantee someone would have sex on the first date. Hmmm, it’s about respect and really at the end of the day – YOU are childish.
3. No name - I never really talked to this guy, just had a message from him but it was enough to warrant the Top 10. BTW - I deleted the message and just never responded to it. All you need to know is that he was in an Open relationship and they were looking for a third person.
2. The Ex – enough said there! Of course, I will be closing that chapter here in a few weeks with a new telephone number. So, be on the lookout for that.
1. The Adulterer - Yep that is what he was. After a day chatting with him via Instant Messenger, he says to me, “I have something that I should tell you but I don’t want to scare you away.” Okay – well that translates to "You have to tell me". Yep – in a nutshell – he was married and just was looking for sex cause he didn’t get enough at home. Needless to say – I said pound sand – I’m not interested. Of course, he couldn’t just walk away. I never saw him but he showed up at Lowe’s one night to see me and then sent me a text the next day and say he wouldn’t be interested. Whatever dude, I’m not interested. Of course, he tried to contact me about two weeks later because I don’t think he was finding what he was looking for. Anyway – I told him he was an ass and he never need to contact me again.
So, there you have the Top Ten Reason’s why I am still single! I think we can all agree – I should be single over dating one of any one of those guys.

57 out of 62
Yup, that was the official count of days worked in a span of 62 days. So, needless to say, when I called in Friday morning and said I wasn't going to be in Friday night and Saturday morning for my shifts, I did NOT feel guilty in the slightest.
I have a master plan and I really want to be debt free as quickly as possible. So, in the big scheme of things, I don’t really notice that I work that many days. But, when I do take a day off, boy oh boy – I forgot how nice it is. I suppose it makes one appreciate it more.
We had an early roll out on Friday for the holiday weekend. That translated to me hitting the road at 1:30. I love it. I promptly headed home and enjoyed some quality nap time on the couch. Friday evening was spent working on the yard. Mowing, pulling weeds, edging, sweeping, watering, etc.
Saturday morning, well I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in. Of course – having dogs that understand I might be sleeping in would have been even better. I honestly forgot what normal people do on Saturday mornings, little things like watering the yard, running errands, etc.
In the afternoon, it was time to head to Lake Limestone and Camp Curtis! For whatever reason, Finnegan was pacing the entire time but we did get there and even when we were getting close to Camp Curtis, Guinness started freaking out, like she remembered where we were. All and all it was a GREAT weekend. I got some reading in, some drinking in and a lot of sun time. Finnegan loved the water as much as Guinness and after the weekend, they will both now be called Finnegus. My Country Cuz can’t tell Guinness & Finn apart so he called them Finnegus the entire weekend.
Unfortunately the weekend came to an end much too quickly and I was greeted with a 15 hour work day on Tuesday.

George's Baggage
[Disclaimer - Guys you just might want to skip this one.]
So, Mother Nature and I have a love hate relationship. I understand the need for George (my name for THAT time) to arrive every month. However, don't get me wrong, some days I really question if I am ever going to have that experience. That is another topic for another day.
Now, George comes in cycles. I have learned to adapt to them and roll with his whims. One thing I give him, he is at least consistent. I can count 4 weeks out, and sure enough - he is back. But, the luggage he drops off, I wish was consistent. Some months it is light, the next month it is flood gates. Truly I have been blessed with this disaster since George first arrived on the scene in junior high. I really wish my mom would take those roses back - I mean really I don't enjoy this "welcoming" to womanhood. Of course, there was the time the ER doctor told me I shouldn't be alarmed that I was going through a Super Plus every 15 minutes - that was normal. WTF?
Sorry, digressing. Well, George was due for arrival on Friday and as is normal, George arrived without much fanfare. Sunday, well that all changed. I knew George was a little heavier on baggage if you will but didn't think much of it. I headed out to Walmart to buy groceries for the week. Of course, they didn't have a number of things that I needed and I headed across the road to HEB. Well, by the time I got into the store, I had that uncomfortable feeling. But the feeling was beyond uncomfort. I honestly knew I was in serious trouble and was just trying to get out of the store. Have you ever tried to walk quickly while squeezing your legs together, praying to God few people notice and the damage can be minimized? Yep, impossible. Similar to the scene out of Super Bad, I just had my period in the grocery store instead of on someones leg.
Well, George didn't finish there and continued to create havoc on the rest of my evening. After four clothes changes, he finally decided he could be normal again. Just like a man, easily can &uck with your plans when you weren't expecting it. I think 9 months of pregnancy and not having to deal with George...well bliss.

Vanilla Part Duece
Well, it only took almost a month but Vanilla and I were finally able to figure out a time to go out that would work for both of us. Really it is mostly on his end that is the issue but we still manage to find time to talk every day.
In any event, Date 2 was just like Date 1 and he still is deserving of his Vanilla name. I went home and took care of the dogs and patiently waited for his call. Honestly, we knew we would do SOMETHING but what and when was still a mystery. He called about 5:30 and said he was stuck in traffic trying to get home. Now, we live on polar opposite sides of town which in Lincoln terms wouldn't be a big deal. But, think driving from South Point to I80 via 27th Street. That is the best scenario I can give you so, it isn't always the easiest thing to do.
So, I agreed to head south. Of course, Finn was being his normal problematic self and had to puke on the rug before I could leave. Apparently he still was housing garden hose remnants in his stomach from last Friday in addition to the plastic garden hose handle he decided to chew on the night before. So, finally got that mess cleaned up and then had to go back out and fill the water dish back up. I never understood why the water bowl was always empty when I got home but after watching him shovel it out with his paw, it became clear. Darn dog.
Vanilla was still in a prep stage when I got to his apartment (translate still in a towel). So, I waited for him to finish up and then we headed out for dinner. Lonestar Steak House it was. As with the other date, dinner was normal and conversation just flowed. I will say that I did experience a first in having my car door opened for me and all the other doors opened for me. It was something I could get use to. I also will have to get use to the compliments, which can't be a bad thing.
Afterwards, we headed back to his apartment. We watched Super Bad. Here is all I can say about that movie, it is a dude movie. Yes it was funny, but such a guy thing. I don't know if it would classify as one of those movies I could watch over and over.
Some might consider it boring, but it was a normal date and a nice change once again! Hopefully I won't have to wait another month to see him. I finally got home and into bed at almost midnight so it definitely has made for a long today!

Mother $uckin Bolder
Yes - these white bolders that have been added to my rock garden, yes those sons of itches came from my backyard. I had some trees that needed planted in the backyard and while trying to dig a hole - I came up with these things. Seriously - who would of thought that digging a hole would of been such hard work. Never mind that I needed to own an Axe pick to dig the darn whole.
In all, it was an exhausting day! I planted a Southern Magnolia, a Tuliptree stick, a Confederate Rose, landscaped on the side of the front of the house, edged around the yard, trimmed trees, and mulched.
It is sad when I am thinking I should be in bed by 8 pm on a Sunday!
