Testing

First off I remembered a couple of the other movies I watched:

1. Friends with Money...It was good. Ok I guess is more like it.

2. The Holiday...LOVED this one...I could watch it over and over and over again.

I started watching the Party of Five DVDs and can't stop! They're just too good! I also rented The Last King of Scotland, The Devil Wears Prada, and One Night with the King...I'll let you know how that goes.

In trying to "get better" and progress I've been doing a little self exploration in order to find out who I am, where I'm going, and to just basically get so that I love myself. Part of that is working on why I'm such a mess with relationships.

A little while before I met JC I was talking to Ray Ray the Killer about what I was looking for in a guy. He asked and I responded, "Someone who lives on his own, can do his own laundry, and can balance his own checkbook." Ray Ray said, "That's it?" And, yea...that was it...I had had much less before that. So, I met JC...he lived on his own, could do his own laundry, including iron, and he didn't have a checking account, so he didn't need to balance his checkbook. I found everything I had been looking for...literally. But...what was I thinking? Yes...this was a step above what I had had before that...but now I think I know a little more about what I want...

1. Someone who doesn't live at home with his parent's.
2. Someone who can do their own laundry.
3. Someone who can balance his own checkbook
4. Someone who has a car.
5. Someone who works normal hours...and likes working...but not too much.
6. Someone who likes to get up early on the weekends...at least on Saturday...and maybe lay around on Sundays.
7. Someone who likes to get up and get coffee and bagels and read the paper
8. Someone who loves his own family and wants to have a family
9. Someone with devotion
10. Someone who is unfailingly honest
11. Someone who likes to communicate and have conversations
12. Someone who likes to be silly and laugh

I have to think of some more...I wasn't prepared enough...I run over to my parent's to use the computer and then I forget everything! I may be asking for too much now...but I don't think I've set the bar too high...But at least I'm getting together that list of things I'm looking for instead of just saying...as long as you don't live with your parent's I'll take you...even though that person could be failing at everything else in his life.

Your list just described my husband!! :) I did the same thing, made a list after my divorce. And you know what? IT WORKED. I didn't date guys that didn't meet the criteria--didn't even DATE them! When Chuck and I met he hit every bullet on my list-we were engaged in 6 monhts and married within 11 months of our meeting. People thought we moved too fast-but he was EVERYTHING I ever wanted in a man....why wait? This is a great list Liz (but you need to add, "loves my daughter"...) :)

YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR COMPUTER TO YOUR DADS TO GET FIXED!

I love your list. Deannie made one of these FOR ME when I was dating. =)

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
