Weekend fun - how was yours?

Okay - quick weekend update here.

Went to the sport club Xmas party on Friday. DS had a party to go to as well so that worked out nice for us. I have him the whole weekend because his dad is on an extended travel trip - and it has been so fun for us.

Anyway, I dropped DS off at his party - and I wanted to stay! I mean, they had a live DJ, dance floor, flashing lights, hoola hoops and both classes of about 60 kids invited - and the girls were dressed hot. This is all for 5th grade. So he was set to have fun. One of my friends agreed to pick him up til I could get back.

So off to my party I went. And I did work hard to go around the whole room and talk to everyone instead of just stay in my circle of friends. It seemed that the guys were 1) my age and married 2) single and MUCH younger or 3) single and MUCH older.

One of the older guys tried to chat me up and I didn't like him at all - was thinking of the thread on here about the metrosexual. When he found out I am a single mom he made it clear he wasn't interested. I wanted to punch him - because I didn't want to talk to him in the first place and felt he was out of line to even think he had a chance with me much less act like that. Whatever.

But at the party I was talking to one of my friends and she was telling me about how she went out with all of these South African and Australian and New Zealand guys (she is married - go figure how SHE would get a chance like that!). Anyway we were both joking that they are hot because they are really outdoorsy and the rugby types which I would like.

So yesterday when I was riding I was almost home and this really cute guy (my age too!) came up from behind on his bike and said "Wow you have a great pair of legs!" and it was in a Australian accent! But then he turned off to go to his house. How cool is that?

So, more rides are in store for me!

Also, I have been running into some guys at the pool. One had a great interest - but he is way older. But still the attention was nice.

Thought I would share these stories. If you have a fun one about your weekend feel free to chime in too.

I worked late Friday night.

Saturday morning I took my kids to see part of a lego robotics tournament we hosted where I work. Saturday afternoon my kids and I picked out and cut down our Christmas tree. Then Saturday night we all three went to a neighborhood Christmas Party. Santa showed up and DS and DD had a blast being silly with all the other kids.

On Sunday, the kids and I cleaned up the house a little, took a long walk, and decorated the Christmas Tree. In the late afternoon HN stopped by for a little while - helped with decorating some of the high branches and then we all played for a little while in the kid's toy room. This is the first time HN and my kids have had much interaction. They have met HN before and do know that HN and I are friends who sometimes have dinner together while they are at their dad's house. His stopping didn't seem weird to them, but I don't plan to make a habit of it until HN and I figure out what we form of relationship it is that we want - but it was not too long and kind of nice.

West - I'm curious, how much older is too much older - for you anyway?

If they look like they could be my father, they are too old. 15+? More than 10 years.

I guess I'm curious because HN is about as old as I can imagine myself dating. He's 14 years older than me. He's actually not much younger than my parents - but that's becuase they were crazy teenagers. They had me and were married when my dad was 20 and my mom was 17.

HN and I both look younger than what we are - he's 46 and I'm 32. The age difference doesn't bother me at all right now - so far we're just very good platonic friends anyway. I don't think it would factor in the future unless he decided he really wanted children of his own. I don't plan to get married or have any more anytime soon - if ever.
