Wow, I am sick as a dog today but nothing stops me from updating my blog! Hello to all of my internet friends!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Philadelphia Eagles. What a great and emotional victory yesterday by defeating the hated Washington Redskins. I went to watch the games with Tina and Gina, as they both kept an eye on the Steelers game. I had them put the Iggles on the bigscreen and my God what a game. And thanks Joe Gibbs, you fucking idiot, for going for two wayyy too early in the game. Stick to NASCAR, old man, the game has passed you by. I was so very happy for Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, and well, myself. It was an emotional win, and it was a very important win for me on a personal level. Thank you Eagles, thank you very very much.
Yeah, I am sick. Bad head and chest cold, I got it from the Mouse. Oh well. I really wanted to call off today but alas, I did not.
Happy Veterans Day to all. This day always makes me think of my grandpa, and how much I miss him. Veterans Day was always very special to him as he served in two wars and even achieved a purple heart. How I wish that they could he and my grandma would have seen Julia grow up, they would be so proud. Julia is named after my grandmother, in fact. I'll tell you this -- they were dirt poor growing up -- DIRT POOR -- but that did not stop them from having such a wonderful and huge family, where it was all based around love and respect. It shows that money really doesn't buy happiness. Two wonderful people, grandma and grandpa, and I miss them dearly.
Today is the Veterans Day parade in Savannah. I just looked up the parade route, and I won't be able to see it from my office :( Damn, it's literally one street over. I really want to see it for some reason, so I think I might sneak out and go check some of it out during 'lunch'.
I miss my Julia and I cannot wait to see her today when I pick her up from ballet. I was so proud of her last week at Parent's Day! I'll only see her for a few minutes, but anytime I can see her is good with me. This weekend she will be hanging out at The Silly House and we are going to go to the children's book fair in Forsyth Park. I hope it is nice and warm and it will be a blast. I cannot wait to get a big hug from that precious child today.
I haven't heard from Angelina since Friday, so I am assuming that our plans have been cancelled for this evening, and that's really OK because I am sick as a dog anyway. Yeah, go out on a date and then start hacking and coughing real bad during it. Attractive.
I must say that joining the personals site has been fantastic so far. I've received a ton of emails and responses and have met some very lovely ladies. Problem is, lol, none of them are local so far. I met a beautiful -- and I mean BEAUTIFUL woman from Connecticut who I have been corresponding with, and I have been chatting it up with a woman from Australia and also the Philippines. Nice :) My profile on there is pretty brutal and straightforward, and so far, it's worked out pretty well. We shall see where it leads me but I must say it feels pretty good to hear that not only I am attractive and sexy, but my values and what I want out of life are appealing as well. Maybe we'll go into this further at a later date as some explanation is necessary.
TIna and I hung out last night -- alone -- and nothing materialized. I don't know, I just cannot get a good read on her. Sometimes I feel she's crazy into me, sometimes I feel that she isn't. I have to be VERY careful here as I seriously do not want to ruin this friendship by doing something stupid. I'm going to take my time and see what happens. We hang out a lot and had a lot of fun this weekend, so that is obviously a good sign. I told her I want to see her hair curled, as with that long blonde hair, I bet she would look AMAZING. She told me she used to have a perm "back in the 80s!" and promised to curl it for me for our Thanksgiving dinner. Nice! :)
Happy Veterans Day to you all and I hope you have a great day.
Remember: Let love be your greatest aim.
