biking

Tonight Tuesday Night Guy and I are biking on the Silver Comet Trail. We will meet there at 7:00 and ride about 20 miles. I love that trail and am very much looking forward to the ride and of course, to seeing him again.

Unfortunately, last night I had one of those god awful 'episodes' with these damn fibroids. It was so bad that I called and spoke with the doctor on call - to see what else could be done. She told me to double up on the lortab, so I did. Finally, that (and a couple of beers) knocked me out. Soccer Dad had a date last night and was in pretty much constant touch with me all evening. He rated it a 5 or 6. I feel bad that he was so nervous - but heck, he hasn't dated in 20-something years. All this dating stuff is new to him too. He was so cute - asking me all kinds of questions about what to wear, should he kiss her goodnight, etc. My oh-so-astute daughter told me that she thinks he wants to date me. She is funny that way - so much more in tune with what is going on than I ever was at her age. He and I have had that discussion - in no way is he ready to be in an exclusive relationship - he needs to be out there, dating and figuring out what exactly he wants in his 'new world'. And quite honestly - I need to do the same thing.

Its odd that I haven't heard from Harley Guy. I am kind of disappointed that I haven't heard from him since he went fishing. He's got to be back in town by now, I mean, he has a job...but oh well. This whole dating thing is kind of weird...I was really enthusiastic at first, but its a lot of WORK. I didn't expect it to be work. And now that I've met TNG and seen him twice, am going riding with him tonight...I've kind of lost my enthusiasm to work to meet anyone else. There just isn't enough time to do everything!

I've been invited by another guy out to dinner on Monday night (my next night without kids). I haven't said yes, yet. But feel like I should - if for no other reason than to just keep my options open. The only thing that makes me nervous about TNG is that his divorce is not final. I know he hasn't dated a lot, and I don't want to be his rebound girl. So, I guess I need to say yes to meeting this other guy for dinner. His name: New Mexico Guy - he moved here from NM for his dream job (and it's a really cool job, actually). He is the Asst. General Manager of one of the largest sports/entertainment arenas in the city. It would be interesting to just hear about his job. I am going to say yes.

More to come....
