Crazy weekend

I was looking forward to finding a little downtime this weekend but I wasn't sure I was going to get it. Thursday night I went to Pilates, grabbed dinner on my way home, ate, showered, then had a date. (new guy from the same lunch day earlier that day).

It was a pretty last night and I ended up with only getting about 3 hour of sleep on Thursday night. Friday I was exhausted at work! But I got through the day. When I got home from work, I crashed! I hopped right into bed and set the alarm on my phone. Ended up making it to my 7pm dance lesson at 6:58, so all was good!

The dance lesson was a blast! Salsa and Cha-Cha. This is pretty much a completely different group and all newbies, but they did SO well. I was really impressed.

After the lesson, we headed out to the bar for dinner and drinks... well 5 of us did, which included one married couple. They were so nice! As they were getting ready to leave, they offered me a pair of Sox tickets that they couldn't use. Today's game was originally a 7pm game, but because the Bruins are playing tonight, the time was switched to a 1pm game. They couldn't go. Instead of wasting the tickets, they gave them to me for FREE! YAY!

The bar last night got a little strange. It was just a weird crowd, weird even for there. Just an experience. We were going to leave so many times, but it was a train wreck! We just couldn't pull ourselves away from watching all of it! :)

I got home around 12:45 and was on the phone with new guy for a little while (he stayed home last night and just watched a movie). My alarm went off early and after a few times with snooze, I finally got up, had coffee and breakfast then I was out the door just after 8:30. I went and met that couple from last night to pick up the Sox tickets. Now I have them in my possession! (again... YAY!)

I'm trying to figure out how to work the rest of the weekend now. I was going to go to my parents house today, hang out with them for a bit, stop at the bank near them, do laundry at their house, plus take home things I left there last weekend, including my good glasses that my mom picked up for me at my eye doctor near her house.... And then this afternoon I was going out with new guy. We were going to hit the driving range, grab dinner and maybe meet up with some of his friends. I was already planning on crashing at his house and possibly getting ready there tomorrow so I can meet my friends at 8am for a 5K we are going to.

Well... now I'm trying to figure out how to fit all that in now! Not so much the stuff with new guy. He's coming to the game with me, so we'll just work it all out. I already called mom and she was going to that same bank today anyway, so she is just going to transfer my money around for me. At least that's taken care of. But picking up my glasses and the other things I left up there? Laundry? URGH! New guy said I could do it at his house... but I don't know how I feel about that.

I'm already a little not sure about showering there tomorrow morning and getting ready there before my 5K (yes, I shower before a race! I need to wake up!) But right now I am part way through packing up my bags. I have my purse for today with the camera, tickets, sun glasses, Red Sox Nation card ready to go... sun screen is in my beach bag in my trunk. I have a small bag with stuff I want to bring to the race tomorrow including Gatorade, water, and a Luna bar.

Then I have a duffel bag. Another shirt I can change into if we do something else tonight after the game instead of having to stay in Sox clothes (my jeans and flip flops will be fine to stay on), clothes to toss on to sleep in, my running clothes for tomorrow with my sneakers, and I need to pack up shower and bathroom stuff. I'll get all that after I actually take a shower... which is the last thing I need to do.

SO I need to remember that duffel bag, my little bag for the race, my purse for today... and I'm going to toss my laundry in my trunk just in case. If I do it at his house, or if I end up driving up to my parents house tomorrow right after I get back from the race, that way I won't need to stop home first. Too much to figure out!

New guy was cute on the phone last night... I was sort of trying to figure this all out then, rambling about it. He suggested I do my laundry at this house... he said that after the game, we could drive to my parents house and I could get whatever I wanted then. He's just really sweet.

Funny, cuz he's not really the type I generally go for. He's a bit more edgy than any guy I have ever dated. But at the same time we really do have a ton in common, including our backgrounds, upbringing, and even where we grew up. We both live about 30-40 minutes from our parents. Him and I live about 10 minutes away from each other. My parents house is probably about 10 minutes from his parents! Funny.

But as edgy as he is, as tough as he is, he's just sweet, kind and caring. I know it sounds silly to say that he's nice to me, because shouldn't any guy I date be nice to me? I guess its better to say he's kind to me. I don't know. I'm still doing my best to kind of just go with it and see what happens without putting any expectations on anything.

So far so good. I'm having fun with him and with getting to know him.

The rest of the weekend? This is going to be nuts trying to fit everything in! I'm going need a day off to recover from these few days! :) I love summer! I love going and going. Yeah, I'm going to crash at some point. Monday and Wednesday I'm only running. I'll probably stay home Wednesday night after running. I don't know, we'll see. I'm just having fun and enjoying life!
