How was your weekend?

Mine was great!! On Friday I went over the Smileys. We had a great evening. He cooked and well, I ate. We talked, laughed, wrestled, ahem ahem, and more. Fun times with my honey.

Saturday I left for my parent's town and I didn't realize how much I missed them until I saw them. I love my family! We had a great time and I got some one on one with each of my sisters.

I had told my parents about Smiley already but not too much detail. Yesterday I told them a bit more and they weren't too excited. They worry it's too soon, what if it's another mistake, etc etc to which I replied I'm not marrying him tomorrow. I just want to be honest with them and let them know what's going on. I'd like to bring him around in a couple of months if we're still dating. That's just how it is in my family. We're very united and I don't want to feel like I have a secret of some sort.

I came back yesterday and FL was moving his stuff into storage. He called when he was done and invited me over. I went over to his place while he packed the last of his stuff. Then he took me to watch Avengers. It was a good time. We said our goodbyes, I told him to keep in touch, he kept saying he's coming back.. I hugged him tight. He is leaving today around noon'ish. :cry:

Last night I realized I have absolutely no feelings for FL anymore. None. It's so weird. Several months ago, I was crying for him and last night I sat there besides him thinking about how things had changed. Interesting.

FL mentioned Smiley. I don't think these 2 will be friends. He didn't say anything mean, just said that Smiley calls it as it is and since I do too, maybe it'll be a problem. He said Smiley seemed opinionated (as am I) and kept shutting me down. What happened was Smiley and I give each other a hard time on our culture differences as a joke. I am the first hispanic girl he's ever dated and I love giving him a "hard time". We think it's hilarious. FL thought Smiley was being serious. Then FL said Smiley doesn't seem like a party animal like me... or him. Which is true, Smiley prefers to barbeque at home and drink, talk, etc. He'll go out and have fun but FL and I could go out every single weekend until 4 am. Smiley, not so much. But that's not a problem to me. I like that he simmers me down and I think I bring Smiley some excitement.

Then Smiley will say things about FL how he's not too "manly", how FL is more of a city boy, how they don't have much in common. Funny thing, FL said the same exact thing.

Eh...

    So glad your weekend was great!! Especially happy for you that you realized your feelings for FL have dissipated before he left. Now you are free to enjoy life w/Smiley. You guys are so cute together!

    Mine was bittersweet.

    Biggest loser party Friday went ok, though most of us didn't lose weight (I maintained)

    Bodybuilder guy canceled our trip to the competition Sat. He went with his friend he was helping compete, but says he didn't want me there b/c he was in a bad mood dealing with some stressful news. He wasn't on Match all weekend, so I believe him, but I haven't heard from him since he canx, so I’m still guessing that’s over.

    Then Sun, Mother's day, my ex sent a group text to 3 people (me, his pastor’s wife, and my ex-best friend who he got very close to when I was away on a military trip and he decided our marriage was over). I did my best to get over it, and after dinner invited a guy from church that I thought liked me plus my two eHarmony friends over to watch a movie. He told me he used to like me til he found out I was so old. Ouch.

    The good news is my other 4 dates from the last couple weeks and a couple guys I haven’t met in person yet all texted or called to say Happy Mothers Day. So all is not lost.

    I had an overall good weekend. Didn't get done alot of the stuff I should have, but I got to spend time with my family, my sister, and my friend.

    Its funny you say that bout your parents .. my mom acts like this relationship is doom and gloom. She is afraid I am going to move out of State, that I am going to get hurt, that its too soon, that my son won't be able to handle it, shouldn't I wait until I settle into my new house .. I bought it 7 months ago .. lol. She went through my divorce with me every step of the way and honestly I don't think I would have been able to get through it without her. So I completely understand her fear of going through that again. lol. BUT .. I am a completely different person now .. compared to what I was when I was married. She doesn't even know his age. Ugh.

    I had a fabulous weekend. I learned to shoot a 12 gauge shot gun, a .22 single bolt rifle, a .45, and a .22 revolver. My gentleman friend for sure treated me like a princess even in the woods. Sad part is we didnt actually get to go to the lake he originally wanted to take me to, the road was still closed due to snow, so he took me to the site he uses when he goes camping in the winter with his son. I actually changed my profile pic to me shooting the .22 single bolt rifle. Had a blast, ate, drank, hiked and a lot of target practice. Sadly back to reality now. BOOOOOOO

    Gentleman friend met my folks - poor guy was horribly nervous but they just said hi/bye and have a great weekend.

    Friday night I worked. Blah.

    Saturday I took my daughter to Kings Dominion (again) and rode lots of rides. After that I took her to get her ears pierced. She loved that. And afterwards I took her to Target and bought her a huge stuffed Mario doll which she loved even more. After that we sat at home (I drank) and we played DJ Hero on the Wii.

    Sunday I didn't doo much other than some stuffs around the house.

    Date (Yup, still weird writing that down. And no, no details worth writing about.), workout, second job, and then saying farewell to a friend who's leaving for seven months. Been my anchor since I moved here, so pretty much tore apart my Sunday. :cry:

    I've done the grandmother and the mother already. Need to try the last member of the family soon myself (maybe in a few weeks though, when things are less hectic... but won't probably resist that long).

    Mine was a weekend of highs and lows.

    I had lovely nights spent with friends. On Saturday I went weight training for the 3rd time. A random gym dude attempted the most hilarious pick up I've witnessed in a long time. He broke every gym social etiquette rule so thoroughly that now I will never be nervous going there again :laugh:

    Another high point was seeing one of my staff in hospital that we had feared we would not see again, this was also our low point as she is dying. She's 31. My team are very close so we are finding losing her very hard. But she's a fighter and I am proud to work with some of the finest people I have ever known, so we are all helping each other through it.

    Sorry to hear about your staff member.

    Friday and Saturday I did nothing at all due to a lot of cancelled plans.

    Sunday started off well, a family mother's day brunch with my mother's side of the family. So was nice to see family, not so nice that there were homemade blueberry muffins which is like kryptonite to me. But I did get to spent almost all morning and afternoon with my 19 month old niece who is a riot. So that made me happy.

    Sunday night sucked. Had plans with friends and they were severely curtailed by someone being a few hours late. Then the other night was him talking about how his liscense was suspended yesterday. He failed to pay a ticket for invalid inspection sticker but *****ed all night that it was everyone's fault but his.

    That was annoying but I'm more worried about next weekend as the two of us are scheduled to go to a concert down in Connecticut. Assuming he doesn't back out, it's 3 hours each way and a 10 hour concert, and I really don't want to hear about how everything is someone else's fault all day. Especially after he goes to court today and finds out he can't strong arm the judicial system as he was suggesting he was going to do last night.

    I took friday off and drove down to Pensacola. Made an offer on a great little condo on the beach. Picked up my girlfriend from work and helped her get ready for a ladies only party. I went to dinner and waited for her to get through. Met her out later.

    We took a long walk on the beach Saturday before meeting one of her friends out (somehow my gf ended up with ID and we had to get it back to her). Sushi for dinner and then a huge thunderstorm came through. It was so nice to cuddle and stuff through that.

    Sunday was brunch with her daughter and then I drove home.

    Comcast Theater in Hartford. The WCCC Big Gig, Godsmack and Staind are headlining, but going mainly to see Steel Panther as they rarely play the East Coast. We've both seen Godsmack a few times before, we live 5 minutes from their hometown.

    We've talked about what makes sense. I'm buying it as a retirement home. But I'm still a few years away from retirement. She may move to Louisiana temporarily... We're still early on in all that.
