How Long Does It Take to Fall in Love?

So, I have went out with hotel guy/Andrew a few more times. On Thursday night, he actually took the time to rig a raffle so that I could win a prize. I opened up the giftbag having no idea what was going on. There was a SIMS expansion pack Bon Vonage game and an envelope. I was told to pick one. Of course I picked the envelope! It was a 14 night (or maybe day) trip to Europe. Of course, it was not the actually trip arrangements, but it was him saying that he wants to take me to Europe. I had planned to have a talk with him about the whole thing moving too fast prior to this surprise. The conversation was not me saying that I want to slow it down. It was more about me handling myself differently so that I get different results. I ended up still having the conversation. I went out again with him on Friday. I am enjoying his company so much that I do not know what to do. The funniest part about it is now I am getting a lot of interest on eharmony. lol I have not even logged in, but I get the notifications via e-mail. Perhaps the whole I want to take you to Europe thing should be scaring me away, but I am truly enjoying all of the attention. When I set and think about it, all I can think is that I really deserve this. I deserve to have someone open the car door. I deserve to have someone who is thinking of me and lets me know it. I deserve to have someone who wants to spoil me. As I have really been thinking about what I want a lot lately, I think he is exactly it. I don't want to be scared. I want to act like I am 14 years old and see what happens.

Treadmill Jam

So, this morning I was having a hard time motivating myself to run. I am still not 100% committed to the marathon, yet I am worried that it might fill before I register. Anyway, I was contemplating whether to run outside in the gorgeous weather or go to the gym. It was a little windy. My contacts and the wind are not always friends. I go into the gym. Yes, I drop my jacket into the treadmill. It is completely jammed. I have to walk up to the front desk and request they place a sign on the treadmill. Mind you this morning I put on the jacket. It felt so cozy. Now, it remains at the gym. If you are reading, please say a little prayer for my jacket. I would like it in one piece and in the lost and found. I would love to have it back!

I ran. I think I ran 5 miles. I was not sure exactly where I was at the jam. I might have ran 6. Anyway, I did at least what I was supposed to do today!

Dating--So, I am getting a little tired of the lack of response from eHarmony. I think I am attractive. I know I am educated. I have a good job and a nice lifestyle. What is the problem here?? I have been contemplating joining a matchmaking service. The ones I have researched actually charge $10K!! Not a bad investment if you find someone, but what if you don't? I guess I lost $100K on my house and more than $10K in my investments so who cares!!

I did have a first date last night. It is a guy that I have known for a few years through work. He manages a hotel. He had asked me out for Thursday, and I was not able to go out that night. He ended up going with me to a birthday party. He was a wonderful date, and everyone seemed to like him, too. He suggested we see a movie today. It should be fun. SO, I guess I should not be complaining about e-Harmony!!

Almost Ready to Register

I am scared to commit to the marathon. I have started training though. There has been nothing hard core yet, but I think I am really going to do it.
