My weekend ...

I am going to post another updated about Lloyd - since we've already discussed (to death) how I met him, and what I did on the 2nd date - I'm hoping at this point you all can just be happy for me, 'k?

Anywho - Friday Lloyd came to my place, my kitties, and I made home made pizza (I even made the sauce and dough from scratch), and he loved it! :o) Then I showed him around my town (he lives about an hour south-west of me and hadn't really been up here before), and we stopped to have ice cream while I was showing him our little downtown area.

Then on Saturday we went to six flags elitch gardens in Denver (amusement park) and he talked me into getting onto the "worst" of the roller coaster rides (Mindbender, where you sit with your feet flying in the air and go through tons of twists). It wasn't terrible, but I'd never go on it again - it wrenched my back out like nobody's business. I was on sooo much pain and he was all concerned about it and took me back to his place right away, and bought me a heat pad to see if that would help. He never bitched about the money he spent or the other rides he wanted to try or anything (please, can I hear a collective "Awww!"). I swear he's the sweetest man I've ever met.

Today we went hiking. He took me on one of the easier trails he'd been wanting to go on - 10 miles round trip. I've been walking a lot lately so I thought I'd give it a try - I made it about 4 miles in (and an elevation of 10,900 feet) when I couldn't continue - I was getting too light headed and the rest of the trail was almost like rock climbing. But I told him to continue without me since it was only another mile. He didn't want to leave me but I insisted, I didn't want him to be held back by me again like I'd done at the amusement park. He totally appreciated the gesture and took a ton of photos for me.

Anyhow I'm home alone right now - I had to come home and do laundry!! Tomorrow night he's invited me back to his place to meet his daughter, Emily, who is 20 months old. I will bring my collection of children's books from my years as a teacher and have some books to read to her.

Then from Tuesday til next Sunday he's on vacation - he's taking Emily back with him to Florida to visit the grandparents for a week. Which is good - I can catch up on my sleep!! (Hehe as Catherine would say {blushing}).

I might only have met Lloyd a week ago but I swear I feel like I've known him a lifetime. And while I am still poignently aware he just can't handle anything committed right now, what we do have so far just feels right. Even if it ends (and it probably will) I will have some great memories, and maybe in the end a good friend.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend! :o)
