Update time...WOOT!

Ok, ok..I know I have stepped away from this for a while, my bad....I need a spanking

First thing, ok, I have fallen off my diet a bit, yep, I did. This happens to me once in awhile. I haven' t stopped working out, thank god, but my eating part I have been slacking on. If I had stopped working out also, I would have put on a lot more than the 9 pounds I gained. I know I just have to hunker down and walk slowly away from the Ben and Jerry's. Damn Safeway for having them on sale. As I said, once I hunker down the weight will fall of like it did before. WOOT

I have dipped my toe in the dating pool, and I found the water to be quite pleasant. I have gone on 2 dates.
One was really nice, good guy, that is what I like, but ya know, there has to be that click, so, I don't know.
The other one was a REALLY nice guy, and fits about 98.9% of my list, which is nice.
Not to Jinx anything, but I am looking, forward to getting to know him better, and such. He is a really nice guy with a good heart, and a Longhorn.

The boys are doing fine. I had to take Dexter to the vet a couple weeks ago. Poor guy has a bone spur in his right shoulder. They gave me some meds, to help heal it, he is such a trooper for taking pills, I don't have to force them, no matter how bad they taste, he eats them right up. I think he does it, because he knows his brother isn't going to get any, so it is his way of gloating. "I get something and you don't"
But I do have to say, I am glad I have pet insurance through my work, because it cost a pretty penny. God I love my job.

I already want it to be spring, granted it is staying lighter now, but I want the rain to stop so I can get some work done on the yard. Funny, how when growing up, I hated yard work, but now as an adult, it helps me relax.

This last weekend, I went over to Tony, Tim, and Junior's to hang out and watch movies. Tony is in the Navy, so he was out to sea, it was just Tim and Junior. I took over 2 movies, Sunshine and Good Luck Chuck. Sunshine was ok, I was expecting more. Tim and Junior had seen it before, they liked it. Good Luck Chuck was actually funny. I am not a big Dane Cook fan, but Jessica Alba, is HOT! I know, you are thinking, how could a gay man think Jessica Alba is hot. Just because I am gay doesn't mean I can't appreciate a beautiful woman, and she is HOT. Not "team" switching hot, just so ya know. In between the movies we went out to dinner and they introduced me to "Guitar Hero 3". I will admit, I am not a big video game fan, but this was fun. I am not going to go out and buy a game console, but I know where to go now when I want to play a good video game.

That is about it, I am now all caught up! WOOT!

I KNOW!!

It has been awhile since I have posted. I will get caught up soon.

Dipping my Toe in the Dating Pool

So, it has been a little over a month since I became single, and I swear I must have a flashing Neon sign, that says NEWLY SINGLE FRESH MEAT!

I don't know if I am ready for that yet. I know I am always looking for new friends and such, and who knows where that can lead, but right now, I think I would like to increase my circle of friends. Guys to do stuff with that is just fun, hang out, movies and such.

Not that I am opposed to dating, and such, I just don't want it to seem like a "rebound" type of thing. Those never work.

I had a list once before on an older blog that I deleted that had the basics of what I was looking for in a man. I think I need to revise that list, and update it, because I am not the same person I was when I originally created that list. This is just a list for dating....friends don't need a list..cause....well, they are friends.

Here we go.
1. Around my age, +10 years, - 5 years
2. Non smoker
3. Not a heavy drinker
4. Good Heart
5. Honest
6. Passionate
7. Romantic
8. Dog lover
9. Can cook
10. Likes to shop
11. Likes to Camp
12. Outdoors man
13. Good Kisser
14. Facial hair
15. Body Hair
16. Caucasian
17. Nicely Equipped
18. Versatile
19. Damn this list is long
20. Can 2 step and waltz
21. Like country music
24. Neat and clean
25. Gainfully employed

That is what I have for now, the list will grow. Call me picky, but it is what I like.

Here it is, second day into the new year, not a bad day. I was not feeling 100% when I got up this morning, so I called in to work to have the day to myself. It was something I needed.

Yesterday, work was boring, but I put in my 8 hours. That is good, because I got holiday pay also, so I actually got 16 hours. WHOO HOOO! Then afterwards, I headed to Burien, to my friend, Tim, Tony and Jr. "The Boys" for a nice Southern New Years dinner. When I got there, there were other people there I knew, it was nice.

They fixed, Ham, Collard Greens, black eyed peas, and Mac and Cheese. Tony said the Greens are for wealth for the next year, the peas were for good luck, and the ham was so you would not be hungry in the next year. I think I heard him right. And the Mac and Cheese..it was because they like Mac and Cheese. It was really a nice way to end the day.

Today, as I said, I did nothing. I did go see my friend Neil who is a reflexologist, Medicine Bear Healing Arts, is his business. My left foot has been bothering me and my doctor said it is becasue of my weight loss, and my foot size could be changing. So, I went to Neil, because he measures feet also. I did not know until today that to get a correct measurement, there are 3 different places you need to measure. He also wanted me to bring the shoes I wear the most so he could look at them.

Come to find out that I am not longer a13, but at 14D. For some reason, I thought my size would do down and not up. But now I know and there are some shoes I cannot wear any more, one of them being my cowboys boots. I can live with that, I can still use my ropers to dance, they are a size 14.

So, today was a good day, and I am back to the gym and work tomorrow...OH JOY!
