Spent the weekend dodging rain drops and hanging out at the pool (a.k.a my parents house). Have to get some of my photos up from Logan's birthday, memorial day, kim's baby shower, and the hot air balloons. Man. I really need a computer of my own to keep at home with internet. IMAGINE all the things i could get done. I could..............................take over the world!

The hot air balloon festival was this weekend directly across the street from my HOUSE. It was pretty cool to see the hot air balloons that up close and personal. I planned t go into the fairgrounds last night when they did the balloon glow...................HOWEVER it was called of due to ...................RAIN. boo!!!!!

Sending out an S.O.S.!!!!!

So day number (hold on I'm counting on my fingers...one......carry the two) 5. It's day 5 of my online dating adventure. and it's going.................hmmmmm......well it's not going horrible, which is how my last online dating adventure went so I'm happy with this.

I'm still addicted to seeing how many people have viewed my profile and I STILL think it's horrible they give you that information. I'm assuming it's one of those "return on your investment" kind of things. Their way of saying........"See this is why you paid for this so ALL these guys (91 so far) can ogle you". I've received a few more winks and I've exchanged a couple emails with one guy in particular. We are currently doing the getting to know you questions......and this is where I NEED YOUR HELP! I'm not sure what to ask anymore. We've covered the family questions, he has a brother and a 6 year old son, (It's darn near impossible to find a guy who isn't either divorced or a dad, he is both of those things) he lives in the same area as me and he's an IT guy. So I need some question I can ask him.

this getting to know a person thing is ........HARD.

I've asked him his top 5 favorite songs of all time, one place he must see before he dies, and which trilogy is better the new or the old Star wars (he mentioned he liked Star Wars). but now I'm not sure what to ask. I need some go to questions...........Any advice my wonderful friends??? Any advice at all???

Is there a 12 step program for this.......

So I'm addicted! I've got a problem and I'm MORE then willing to admit to it. Since my life has been lacking something for the last 5 years.........that be the company of a nice gentleman.......i decided to try.........match.com

Now I had previously signed up with Plenty of fish, if you aren't familiar with this site, its a FREE dating site. And the guys I've meant on there.............well................let's just say they weren't looking for a nice girl as much as they were looking to find a friend for the night. I only meant one guy from that site in person, he was nice enough. But he wasn't looking for anything serious and i wasn't looking for a booty call. I meant another guy who seemed REALLY nice but he blew me off to many times so I'm done with that site. I'm hoping that since that guys on Match.com actually are willing to shell out some money to be on the site they might take it a little more serious.

Anywho......here's were the addiction part comes into play. I'm addicted to seeing who's viewed my profile and I'm checking every half hour or so to see if anyone knew has viewed me, messaged me, winked at me, and so on. It's horrible. I'd rather not see that 50 guys have looked at my profile but only 3 have winked at me.........not the greatest odds. But since in reality I only need one guy to prove to be a good guy, maybe that's not so bad. I don't know. We shall see how this goes. I've chatted with two different guys. both seem nice enough, although I've learned EVERYONE seems nice on messenger.

I picked "Curvy" to describe myself. Sounded better then "a few extra pounds" or "full figured". I thought curvy sounded SEXY. But i made sure to put photos up that show how freaking AWESOME I really am. and Modest.

I'll keep you updated on my life on the dating site. Wish me luck!

Fun in the sun

SO.........I was off for Memorial Day. FINALLY. some time off...even if it was just for the day. And it felt GREAT. I sat around with the family at my parents house in the sun and enjoyed the day. It was unbelievably HOT out. but the pool helped to fix the heat problem. Preggers, Mr. Preggers, and their little boy Logan, who's 1st birthday was Monday came over for the cookout also.

Big brother and his girlfriend brought my little niece (5 1/2 months) and my nephew (7 years old) over so we had the kid part covered.

It was nice to sit around and relax and chow down on some yummy summer food.

Logan enjoyed the pool, his first experience with such a thing. I think the boat helped.

We've had this baby boat since my nephew was little and Logan loved it right away. Come on....who wouldn't love this thing. I wish I had one for me. lounging in the pool making boat noises and steering my boat around while someone pushes me around. Now that's the LIFE.

I'm NOT DEAD!

WOW.... I haven't blogged in over a month. A MONTH. At one point I thought I might die if i didn't blog EVERYDAY. WHOA! It's nice to know that's not true.

So....where have I been you might be asking yourself.......(wow you aren't? hmmm) well I'll tell you where I've been.

I've been...........................up to my eyes in WORK. WORK. WORK! Yeah I know....I wish it was a better excuse. so let's make one up. ......

I've been busy traveling the world and spending my endless amount of MONEY. My friends and I flew to Bali, where we laid on our OWN private beach soaking up rays and drinking little umbrella drinks all the while flirting with hot guys. It was a rough time. But you can't spend 3 weeks laying on the beach soaking up the sun......(I could) or your end up looking like Ally alligator so we jetted to Europe where we shopped and rubbed elbows with the famous incognito. And finished our trip with a stop in Vegas where......................well you know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Ahh that would be SUCH a better story. Sounds better then 21 hours of overtime and pounding my head against the wall. Sounds better then rum drinks in my living room, alone, after a 12 hour day....just so i can calm down. Yeah the other story sounds WAY better. But, it is what it is.

Word of advice~ When and if your company ever says the hated phrase "New computer system" start looking for a new job....STAT!

I did find a few free moments, and I'll be posting pictures from those moments when i get a chance.

Hopefully I'll be back to my.....ahhhhh.......regular life (see the thrilling look on my face) and back to blogging.

Preggers little boy turns 1 on MONDAY! 1 year old. ALREADY. my little buddy! I'm so excited for his party next week. There will be LOTS of pictures of his big 1st Birthday!


So until then.....................................Happy 1st Birthday Logan!!!! Aunt Amy LOVES YOU!
