Okay. So, if you are following my OLD saga, you will know that NY called yesterday saying something came up for tonight so our date needs to be postponed. Could not match up schedules for this week because he wanted last night or late tonight. Maybe next week.

Whatever.

So last night was my 2.25 hour run - it is a critical workout for doing my long race. I ran around my whole town!! Stayed strong and couldn't believe I went so far. All good. Luckily when I got home we had a slew of delicious leftovers to heat up and I made them look great by making an all you can eat buffet in my kitchen for DS and even the pups.

Got a good one in from match. Lives in my town, good profile. He asked for my number and says he will call this morning.

You guys are funny!! Okay - here is the quick update. You guys, forgive for my absence today - I had to do a 3.25 hour ride this morning after that long run last night and then catch up at the desk, pick up DS and now with coffee and graham crackers in me for energy have a 1 hour run. I think I am going to sleep good tonight.

Okay here we go:

Okay - he called! LOL!! He played Poker last night and then got swept away at work.

I was driving DS home from school so I said I have to call you back. Dropped off DS and went back out for gas (tank was on empty so running on fumes - not good for tomorrow's 6AM swim class!) and called him. He had a few minutes before his meeting.

He has been divorced 2 years - he is on good terms with his exw - she lives here in the same town - and she is engaged. They get along good for the sake of the kids. (He was married for 15 years according to his profile)

He asked how long I have lived here and where I am from - I explained my parents and sisters live close by and that I pretty much grew up here although spent some time in AZ.

He had to go in his meeting and has his kids tonight - he said he will call tomorrow morning for sure - but if he can sneak in a call when the kids are in bed he will - asked what time I stay up til - and so I said I like to be asleep by 10. But I said have fun with your kids and no pressure - if you call tonight that is great and if not that is great because I can talk in the morning. He liked that!

He liked that my parents and sister are close by and that my situation is stable and that I work out of my house. I did explain that my exh and I get along fine - I mean after 7 years the dust has pretty much settled and we are great parents not great partners - and he liked that too.

We didn't have that long to talk really - but I can tell he wants to talk more tomorrow.

Okay - will go and get the profile for Cat - see below - and to PacSun - I was REHEATING leftovers last night after the run!! Not cooking - am not that good! LOL!! I was trashed - put the stuff in the microwaves (have 2) and then sat in the pool to chill my legs - it is so cold that I count it as the ice bath for the week. Don't laugh - I am the microwave genius and hate to have stuff waiting to go in just one of them. LOL!! But I was creative to put it all out and told DS - look - you get an all you can eat buffet. For some reason he is just tickled when he gets to build his own plate and he loves my buffets. We had lefter pasta and fixings for make your own tacos plus salad. So it was all good.

Okay - here is his profile:
"I am a 43 year old divorced father of three beautiful girls. Like I said I have three daughters who do not live with me, but are an important part of my life. So those who consider kids "baggage" please move on. I love the outdoors and to watch and play sports, and I am an avid swimmer too. Mostly I am very passionate and affectionate and that carries through to most aspects of my life so you must be comfortable with that. Also I am very romantic and if it is right love respectful public displays of affection. I was married for over 15 years and know what I want and expect from a partner and will no longer settle for anything less. As a result I am very blunt and very upfront and want and love open communication without any jealousy. Lastly, I am looking to meet someone who is fine with everything above and is looking for a long term relationship with the potential for more. I hope to hear from you, you won't be disappointed."

And....is it wrong that I am curious not only to read the profile but to also know what the "slew of delicious leftovers" constituted? LOL

Okay -we have an update. He wrote today saying sorry he got so crazy at work on Friday and then had to pick up his kids early and now has them for the weekend but will call Monday and would love to meet in person. I said - okay - talk to you soon. That was this morning.

So, then this afternoon he views my profile and then calls. The funny thing is that I think this one is so busy he searches and winks to those near him - and then emails the ones who answer. Because we did all of this and he had never viewed my profile.

So today I can see he viewed it and emailed me - and then called. He asked about my weekend and told me about his. He says he would love to meet me!
