What's making you smile today? general update

[explorer2001]

W and I are still texting. I met a group of his friends on Monday and really hit it off with them, to the point if exchanging contact info and making plans to get together again with one of the girls in the group.

He's coming over to my house for dinner and violin time Sunday. I'm excited and nervous. Of course the fact that he hasn't tried to kiss me, or really made clear whether we are friends or he's interested in more is frustrating. I'd be happy either way. I'd just like to know. KWIM.

Last night I stopped by a local cigar lounge. I'm asthmatic so I don't go often but they have the best scotch selection in town. I bought the bottle I promised myself with part of my bonus money. Then ended up chatting with a group that was hanging out there. One of the guys asked to take a picture of me with the bottle since he was talked into trying a pour of that particular scotch. Then they asked me to come back and hang out with them tonight. I politely declined since I have yoga tonight, but how flattering.

Oh and violin is going well. My instructor is pleased with my progress and I sound a lot less like I'm killing cats.

Basically life rocks and I'm to damn giddy to sit still at work.

What's making you smile today?

the fact that So You Think You Can Dance is on tonight makes me smile...and also that I have both season 2 and season three of Sons of Anarchy at home to watch too...love me some Jackson Teller!

I moved to my own place like 2 weeks ago. My apartment is small but I love it.

What makes me smile is that I'm decorating things slowly my own way. So every time I go home, I feel like the place is so me. I have an obsession with blue these days.

Well, that's until you enter the first bathroom and is full of pink and princesses which obviously I didn't pick lol.

[dakotadangerdog]

LOL I'm glad you don't sound like you are killing cats. My sister used to play violin so I definitely know what you mean by that!

I am happy because I have a date on Saturday night! He called me last night and we talked on the phone for 30 minutes. I am trying to keep my expectations low and just ENJOY the present (which for me is the HARDest thing, since I am always planning the future in my head).

But I think I am in a REALLY good place now, so I am excited to date him and not be freaking out in my head like I usually am!

I have a new group of girl friends from crossfit, and I am loving them!

I am smiling that it's my DH's birthday today and I don't give a flying fvck. I keep remebering his B-day last year, I threw on awesome party, was a ton of work, and he was unappreciateive and I said to myself, never again.

I am smiling that I'm going to Phoenix in two days for a weekend getaway with my Mom, we have so much fun together. Plus I might get to meet Explorer, which is fun. I told my Mom I invited my new internet friend over to the hotel, she laughed. I said I jumped from the Infertility board to the divorce board, lol.

I'm smiling that I had a great night with my friend last night walking my dogs all over the park and then to eat. I keep telling people if they went to help me out, I need help with my Dogs and taking them on adventures since they are having a hard time right now with their Dad being gone.

I have made several new friends lately, whom I can trust. It is wonderful to trust again.

I hooked up with an old friend a few weeks ago and we are trying to find a time to meet up again (we have opposite schedules so it is hard)

I love that you are so giddy, you are doing great things for yourself girl! Hey, I do yoga too. Are there any yoga studios nearby Desert Ridge that might have a class Sunday morning? Can't be too late or I'll be drunk, ha ha. I think the JW offers them but they are pricey.

[sharic]

I am smiling because my wine tasting class last night with my friend was amazing, and they had great appetizers! I also went to an Italian cooking class on Monday night solo, which was a big step for me, and I had a great time!

I am also smiling because everytime Mint posts, it makes me want ice cream...I may give in today!! Also, I packed my lunch, but would love to just get away for lunch (which I may do) because I eat at my desk every.single.day!

Ooh, and I have Friday and Monday off!! Okay...enough to smile about.

[bullygirl979]

Fuck, I feel like a lame ass because I am struggling with this.

Okay:

I am smiling about 2 new brushetta recipes I am trying out for my recipe swap tomorrow.

I am smiling because a week from now I will be on vacation and doing a little of this :beer:

[heavenly]

I will have my first date on Thursday but what is really making me smile is how motivated this guy is to see me. I really didn't have any time this week because of my schedule with ds and plans that were made in advance. I only have a 2 hour window on Thursday and he has to drive 45 min to the town where I am at. He was coming up with all ideas what to do and it didn't faze him at all that I don't have an open schedule like a non parent would have. His openness about his excitement has put a silly grin on my face.

This post makes me smile. You deserve it, Heavenly!

Knowing that I'm only two short days away from a girl's weekend, if it will be spent dealing with the Bridezilla it will still be nice to have a getaway. The last few days have been really stressful.

You have inspired me to take a cooking class myself!!!

[udscoobychick]

Lots of things!

-It's W(h)ining Wednesday, which means BF and I go out for drinks/apps with friends after dance class
-Just booked a weekend getaway to Mexico in September with BF
-My company is bidding me (and a couple other people) on a new opportunity that would be cool to do

[missbetty1]

I'm smiling today because I am going to the Jazz show tonight by myself...the one I thought was last week lol. I can't wait to have a glass of wine and listen to a sax.

I'm also smiling because I'm going to Miami with a few of my girlfriends for a Girl's Weekend Getaway in about 3 weeks. With eating right and working out I am so excited about rockin the two bikinis I recently purchased! The new guy texted me this morning saying "with all the working out you're doing I see you're going to be stopping traffic so I may have to come to Miami and cover you up" lol

[ravenb1111]

That I'm going on vacation in 2 and half weeks! Woohoo

Thanks Bully! It was hard imagining I'd be at this point compared to several months ago.

I leave for Vegas tomorrow evening!!!! I'm so incredibly excited!

[doriswe]

My new dress looks uber cute on and really shows off the boobs

I think I might have a date on Saturday....and it's for fun

[hobs209]

I somehow plowed through three miles despite 100 deg temps AND humidity and I'm going to yoga this evening. I plan to look smokin' on my cruise that's in 3.5 weeks. :-D

[roselis]

Can I add another? I have been working on my story like a crazy woman today. I am so proud of my progress! I have told a few friends the plot and they are really excited to read it and are helping push me along.

[bookworm]

I engaged in some retail therapy. I feel slightly guilty about the money I spent, but most everything was on sale I got a pair of shoes, jeans, a few tops and some make up. Plus I used a starbucks gift card for a smoothie. It was a good day!

[liubotflittyfud]

J sent me an awesome text this morning about how he's thinking about me

I think I'm going to sleep with him soon... not sure when, but I'm feeling it.

[letyourselfgo]

I had been sick to my stomach, and bent over the toilet, and running a temp all night.....but now, I feel much better.

So, that makes me smile.

[imalwaysme79]

New guy makes me smile all the time. I can't stop thinking about him. He says the same about me, which is nice for a change. I'm going to see him tonight

[BookLover]

Blue bell ice cream. :-) My fat ass doesn't need it, but it is sooooooooooo gooooooood!
