2nd date report
16

Okay girls - this house just got settled in enough for me to write to you and type the details from a very happy 2nd date.

Luckily when I woke up this morning, I did not have any major pain from my bike crash. I do have a large patch of road rash the size of a racquet ball on the top of my left arm/shoulder. I patched it up with neosporin and gauze and tape. There is a cut on my left knee and my right thumb is swollen. But okay really.

MtEverest decided we should be very careful and not do anything at all exerting. He was really worried about me.

He decided to cook me brunch! Which is kind of fun because usually I end up cooking. And he insisted on cleaning his kitchen, too, would NOT let me help with anything. We had a nice afternoon talking - he showed me his kid's pix and a cool extreme skiing movie and I got a tour of his house - he does a lot of the work himself - plus he has neat travel pix. And he gave me a new bandage for my arm. I showed him the pix in my phone of my 2 canine banchees and my son. I had to get back here for DS - so that was good - we wanted to spend more time talking and visiting.

I like him girls!! I really do. I told him he spoiled me and he loved that.

One thing that is good is that we can just sit and visit and he does NOT get on my nerves the way MA did - oh my goodness- that is like night and day. And he is not pushy - he respects me and my space. Plus I think we are going to be nicely paced with our kids and their schedules. This weekend he is going away skiing again for his mom's birthday and meeting up with his sisters.

Also, he is really funny!! I like his sense of humor.

Yay - that is great. And you deserve it.
I hesitate to get metaphysical on everyone but I really do think that regardless of whether this one works out or not, the universe has sent you a fabulous message in handing you someone who does everything MA couldnt or wouldnt. It proves so beautifully that you have the right idea in expecting more and that you WILL find it!!
So pleased for you right now...

Sounds good, Judy! I know there are men out there who love to pamper women (they seems to love selling that point in their profiles!) but they also seem to pamper with a bit of belittling too- as if we can't do anything for ourselves. But with Mr. Ev- he seems to be wanting to pamper you but not because you're a "pretty little thang" but because he didn't want you to have to do anything as you were hurt in your crash. It's just different.


I hope the good date stories keep on coming!

Everything sounds like it is going well! Isn't it nice to see that there are some good quality men out there? That right there is refreshing. Glad things are going well.

I am definitely rooting for MtEverest to play out as initially advertised. He's sounding better and better. And I agree with Shrimpy, appropriate pampering is great, smothering and treating one like an incompetent "pretty little thang" is not appropriate. Sounds like Mt. Ev gets the difference.

Speedy recovery on the road rash, ouch, ouch ouch!

Oh he does sound so refreshing!!


Youyr second dae sounded really nice. It is sweet when a guy wants to take of you at least once in a while! I am glad your bike accident was not worse and that you are recovering nicely. Looking forward to more updates with Mt E!!


And, happy Belated Birthday!
