Sunshine on My Shoulders Makes Me Happy

Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry, sunshine on the water looks so lovely, sunshine almost always makes me high...

It's sunny here today. For the first time in several days, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and everything is beautiful.

The weekend was great. I had a blast with my friends, did some shopping with my mom, got the clothing all put away, and all in all was fairly productive. I didn't get the weeding done that I wanted to do, but this weekend is supposed to be gorgeous, so hopefully I'll not only get it done, but soak up some rays in the process.

Friday night, I danced and had a ball. I did meet a nice-seeming guy, but I'm not holding out any hope for him to call. I won't be bothered by it if he doesn't. Saturday was shopping and resting day, then I met a new guy.

He's from OLD, and we agreed to meet at the mall for coffee. Oddly enough, I picked a coffee shop that was closed for renovations, so we ended up going to a chain restaurant (still in the mall), and talking for literally hours. I thought we'd get thrown out for laughing too much.

When the mall closed (I can't believe I closed a MALL down, hehe) we talked for a little bit in the parking lot and probably would have gone on to do something else, but I had agreed to meet another friend whose brother's band was playing later that night. I was actually late for that, but I had such a good time with him!

So, today we met for lunch at a public park near my office. Again, I laughed harder than I think I ever have. It was such a simple thing really, both times. We just sat and talked about nothing, everything, life, whatever we wanted to. It wasn't strained, it wasn't the awful, forced-feeling meeting that first and second dates usually are. I feel like we connected. We have great conversations so far.

We're planning on possibly meeting for lunch tomorrow, and possibly going on a "real" date Friday night. I only say possible because I had already made tentative plans for Friday, and he had already made tentative plans for tomorrow, so we'll see.

So far, no red flags. Thinking of him makes me smile, and that's what I've been missing in dating. It isn't necessarily the relationship to end all relationships. I'm not neccessarily looking for that. But he makes me smile. I've had fun with him. If all we ever do is hang out and make each other laugh, it'll be a great time still.

Moody- who's so happy she agreed on one spur of the moment thing in her life!
