The busy life of me

I took up the Irish whistle after the Irish festival last month. I have enjoyed learning something new but I have to admit I have not found much time to practice over the past few weeks. I have managed to find other way to over book my time. Maybe I am just not happy unless I am harried and stressed. :-) Really no stress but I have been getting a few things done around the house.

I emptied my bedroom of most of the furniture and have started painting. The trim and doors are just about done and I bought the first gallon of the wall color today. I picked Golden Slumber a gold kind of yellow. A nice mellow happy color. Anyone want to come to a painting party?

July 4th weekend was interesting. I went to a picnic and met an interesting gentleman. I do not use the term loosely. He is a gentleman in the old sense of the word. My first impression was of laughter. When I got home that evening I could not help but think, "I have not laughed that hard in a very long time."

To my surprise he got my number from my friend and we went out on a date. He was charming and kind. He reads and has read many of my favorite books. He enjoys classic movies and sci-fi. There never was a lull in conversation. There was also a romantic walk on the beach. The next day at work I was exhausted but it was worth it.

I confess I mainly went on the date hoping that I would like him less then when I first met him. I was not so lucky. I liked him more.

A few days later he took a trip to Boston we had one more date when he returned last Thursday. Another enjoyable nite and another exhausted day at work. It was worth it but at the same time I wish I had not gone.

Friday he returned to his home which is located across the sea in a little place called England.

Yes he has called since he returned home. No I really don't want to talk about it right now. For some reason I am feeling a little blue. I also think God has a sense of humor.
