Monday Musings

First of all, thanks for all the sweet comments on my post this weekend about that dress I wore to the wedding! $80 at Marshalls…so it’s making another appearance at a wedding in 2 weeks because I’m not made of money!! Sheesh. I had a very interesting and confusing weekend:

• Fitness stuff first: I’m down 5 pounds. I’d like to lose another 5. I think it’s doable. Running and Jillian’s 30 day shred seem to be a good balance for me. I’m in a pretty good place. I still don’t know if I want to sign up for the Omaha Half Marathon. When I can’t seem to pull the trigger on races I find that it always is for a reason..which is usually revealed to me later. We shall see.
• The wedding I went to was the BEST. The bride is Argentinian by birth and her mother is a part time dance instructor. The bride and groom did an Argentine Tango for their First Dance. That dance was EVERYTHING. Forget swaying to some soft rock love song. They slayed the dance floor. And she even changed to a special dress, and then back again to her bridal gown after the dance. AMAZING.
• Want a love life update? Let’s put that after the break again!

• Friday night date with the Man friend was good. I’m confused because I’ve never felt this level of comfort with ANY other guy I’ve ever dated before. And that’s saying something. I’m confused because it seems too easy. It’s not that he seems too good to be true, because neither of us are hiding our true selves here. He is honest about who he is, and so am I. Like he knows about my weight loss and stuff that I generally don’t tell someone for a long time into a relationship kind of honest here. But that this thing between us just seems so effortless and I just don’t know what to do with that. 
• He’s making so much room in his life for me; I told him I didn’t know how he could function without a clock in his living room/kitchen area and he didn’t have the microwave clock set. 2 days later he had to show me that he set it!
• We spent most of Sunday together, brunching, doing errands, and enjoying the lake. He has Satellite radio in his car, and while we were driving to the lake he gave me control of the stations. In fact, he gave me my own presets on his radio!!! He said I could have 6 of them for any stations I wanted. And if that wasn’t enough, there were 6 more. I feel like that’s a pretty big deal for a man. 
• He offered to take my dress to the dry cleaners with his clothes that needed to be dropped off. I forgot to give it to him on Sunday, but still! How sweet is that?? 
• Have you seen this quote: 

This is what I kind of feel like is happening. It’s not work. It’s not hard. It’s this easy intimacy with him. And I like it. I like him. Why am I trying to fight it? I’m taking things day by day and we’ll go from there.
