I had my entire Sunday planned. I was going to sleep in, grab something to eat, take a quick shower to shave, then meet my friends at the pool at 11 to swim laps. I was going to come home, take a quick shower, grab lunch, watch the Pats game while decorating my Christmas tree. Then I was going to meet my friend Michelle for dinner at 5:30 and the only thing up in the air was if I was going to meet that gym after.
Well... the NFL changed the start times of some games for TV ratings. Since the Pats are so good, they were moved to a 4:15 start. Messed up my WHOLE Sunday. My friend Michelle refuses to meet while the games on. She hates football. So we are rescheduling.
On a side note... I sent her a facebook message telling her the game was moved to 4:15 and we had to eat in the bar area for dinner. When we finally connected to cancel, she said she told her boyfriend that I said the game was on at 4:15. He said, No, it was a 1pm game. She said, "Julie knows football. If Julie said the game was moved to 4:15, then the game was moved to 4:15."
So her boyfriend went on line to check, and yup, the game was moved to 4:15, so HE'S changing his whole day around too!
SO now I'm home, unmotivated, still not showered after swimming and watching other games while seeing my naked tree in my living room! It is 2:30 right now. SO as long as I am out of the shower by 4pm for the game, I'm fine. And I can still decorate my tree while the Pats game is on. Not sure I'm up for meeting this guy tonight, but I haven't decided yet.
I did go swimming with some friends this morning. It was AWESOME! I did better than I have ever done! I'm really proud of the progress I've made with it. Today I did 6 laps of swimming, 6 laps with the kickboard, then 10 laps of swimming and another 4 or 5 laps with the kickboard (we were talking and I lost track!) So double that to get the lengths and I did 52 to 54 lengths. We asked the lifeguard. 65 lengths is a mile. WOW! I almost did a mile in the pool today! I have never done this much at swimming since I started. I'm really looking forward to go again on Thursday night. Who knows, maybe I could get a full mile in then. :) That would be SO cool.
But now, I am absolutely exhausted! I could fall asleep right now. I really wanted to clean my house at some point today too... at least vacuum and sweep. As I sit on my sofa not showered after swimming. OH well. I'll move at some point.
Now I just need to decide if I can meet this guy tonight. Maybe for a coffee, I don't know. Still annoyed. He sent me a text message I didn't respond to yesterday, with a "sweetie" and "XOXO" in it. Really? If I was 21, all of that would be so great, but I'm not 21.
With this and with the guy I met a month or so ago at the 99 who was texting me a MILLION times, I think I am getting a better idea of what I'm looking for. I know I want someone who lives an active life and who fitness and exercise is important. I want someone positive who likes to have fun and DO things... live life instead of watching it. I want an open minded person. But I also want a driven person, with goals and with stability in his life. I really think I need someone who is financially secure. I understand that the economy is tough, but I want someone who knows how to take care of himself. If he can't take care of himself now, what would happen if it was a future relationship? I don't want to have to take care of someone.
But I would also like someone doesn't have kids. I would prefer that he wasn't married before, but ok if he was.
SO that's that. We'll see how this new online guy goes. I'm just not sure he's driven to push himself to take care of himself. I need to find out about that. And between the stupid text message and the attitude that I wouldn't send him a picture... I think he might be a little immature too. He is 5 years younger than me, and that's a BIG 5 years. SO, still thinking about it! We'll see.
Ok, I'm hungry. I have to at least move to get food! :)
