It's February 16th?! WT?

I can't believe it's been soo long since I've updated this thing. Too busy taking care of other people and messing around on FB I guess.
Backing up time a little, I was trying to figure out if this one guy was someone that I wanted to seriously date...nope. Super nice cutie pants, but it just didn't click...and I wasn't going to "make" something work. I figured out this the same week that I met Daddy Cakes...a new nickname, of course. It had been about three weeks that I had been emailing and talking with him before we met. I was urged to meet him from Pablo, who knows him from riding. After we met the first night, I pretty much knew he was the one I wanted to spend more time getting to know.
So, that first date was the week before my friend came to visit from Maryland...which became a disaster! I always had a feeling that it would be painful to have this guy visit...and I was right. What do they say about your gut feeling? Not only did he insult me by asking me if I was "doing" my friend, who happens to be like my nephew and my bestfriends fake future husband! The nerve...then he insulted me by calling me something I wasn't happy with and then really insulted my friends gf. Once we began to ignore him it was all better. I guess there are some people that just don't fit in. He left a day early, needless to say...I was fine with that.
Back to normal life.
I've been following E's workout patterns and she's motivated me to workout harder. I applaud her for that. When I went to the Doc on Friday, they said I've lost 14 lbs. I honestly don't know how...my explanation was that I got rid of Rob, the ex-bf. Dead weight.
Last week I broke down and bought a camera. With mom's possible diagnosis with cancer, I've been thinking a lot about how I hadn't taken any pics over the past couple years...so, now I have a new camera...and I can't figure out how to work it.
Ok...back to Daddy Cakes....so, I like this guy...really feel a connection. We've been seeing each other about three weeks now, and I feel like I've known him longer. So, we'll see. The kid makes me laugh. Better yet, he laughs at my stooopid jokes.
Valentine's Day, a holiday that I hate (which I'm starting to think I hate all holidays) was really nice...quiet, but nice.
Today is President's Day. I used to go every President's Day weekend to Yosemite to cross country ski and snow camp. Oh, how my life has changed. I miss teaching and Yosemite!

Happy Prez Day everyone!
