I finally heard from Mr. Korea. I wrote him diligently in the past few days so that he'd have no excuse not to write me back. It was really good to hear from him. I didn't realize how badly I missed talking to him until I heard from him again. I called the Young One yesterday and apologized to him about the hand-holding and told him I just wanted to be friends. He really is a sweet guy. I also bit the bullet and talked to Never Untucked. I told him that I just wanted to be friends, but then I realized I don't even want to be friends after he asked me what I was doing next week. Ugh. He bugs.
So I had a really good date on Tuesday night. It's nice to just have fun sometimes. And no one put any moves on anyone so it was even better.
I spoke to my brother J and told him about the funny coincidence with the internet boy who is roommates with my 1st cousin. Turned out J knew he too! They were lab partners at BYU. I was so surprised that I called Internet Boy just to tell him that he knew my brother. In all honesty, I don't think I can be interested in Internet Boy after talking to him twice. He is very very nice. I am not sure that I could be attracted to him though. His voice reminds me of a guy that was in my ward growing up (Will Whittier for those who are interested). I just sound like Elaine from Seinfeld when I come up with reasons like that. I care about chemistry though.

Oh so many stories!
It has been too long since I have blogged! Dating-land has been calling me! Seriously it was a bit of a wild weekend. I went to another dance in North Carolina. This time we took 8 people and met 4 others down there. That made for bunches of fun. I had a great time but ended up in a bit of a situation. There is a really sweet young guy (The Young One) in my ward who I have flirted with for months. My theory was that since he is only 21 and I am 29 that it would be safe to flirt with him and he wouldn't ask me out. So then 2 weeks ago at church he jokingly proposed to me in front of a bunch of people and so then we jokingly told everyone we were engaged and I thought it was all in fun. Well, I was trying not to dance with any new guys at the dance so I danced with him a lot, and then on the drive back we were the only ones awake...he was driving and I was keeping him awake...anyway I must've crossed some line because we ended up holding hands...yeah, you think that is cute, but I wasn't thrilled about this new development, and didn't know how to properly address it so that I could remedy my mistake...then he asked me out for the next night, and I was totally nice and said "yes", but I should have said "no" because then he held my hand in the movie. I was feeling like a pedophile or something. It upsets me because I really really like him AS A FRIEND and I hate to be insensitive. It is totally my fault too. He asked me out again yesterday but I already had a different date set up so I told him that I couldn't go out with him because I had a date. Hopefully it will be the end of it...I think you all know it won't be though! Things never end so easily. I am really sad because I haven't heard a word from my sweet North Carolina man since he had to leave for Korea. I haven't heard from him since Friday night before the dance.
I was early to the meeting place and was talking to Mr. Korea on the phone when the Young One pulled into the lot. He saw that I was on the phone and left me alone. The Young One is very polite. Unfortunately, the next guy to arrive was this fellow whom I will call Never Untucked because he tucks in his t-shirts and it gets on my nerves. Never Untucked is only 23 but he thinks of himself as being very mature. He is not a bad fellow, and wouldn't get on my nerves if I didn't know he was interested. So before I discovered that he was, I invited Never Untucked to the dance along with pretty much everyone in the ward that I spoke to. For some reason, he asked me if I was inviting him as my date. I obviously was not thinking clearly so I said "sure!" instead of the correct and honest answer of "heck no". I realized this within minutes and so I told Never Untucked that since I didn't think a big group at a dance would be a good date, maybe we could have dinner together sometime instead. He invited me for Sunday dinner with the missionaries. I was happy because I would have others to speak to! Anyway, I have totally gotten off-track. The point is that when he arrived to meet for the dance, he opened the passenger side and got in the car WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE PHONE WITH MR KOREA. I was annoyed so much that I made it a point to not let him sit next to me on the drive down to Raleigh! Unfortunately this is how I ended up sitting with the Young One. Then, at the dance, I danced a lot with the Young One just to avoid dancing with Never Untucked and this other fellow whom I haven't yet mentioned but I will call him Voicemail Reject because he asked me out on voicemail AFTER I DIDN'T return his first call. That story is not so much funny as just mean.
Anyway. whew. I am exhausted.
So I then had church on Sunday where I arrived first...big mistake. Never Untucked came in and sat on my left and then the Young One came and sat on my other left. OK, Never Untucked was on my right. I am directionally challenged, by the way. So it was like they were fighting over who could share their hymnal with me.
Enter ward young guy number 3. I know...it's way too confusing. There is another guy who entered the picture a few weeks ago who knows about Young One and Never Untucked. He is fun to talk to but is also young although a lot less clueless. I will call him Golf.
Golf is not nearly as forward as these other two. I really thought he was trying to make a friend with me as a means of getting to some other girl in the ward, but after calling and talking to me for an hour 4 nights in a row, I clued in that perhaps he was interested in a little more than friendship. I haven't gone out with him as of this blog but have a date this evening. Thank goodness we planned it on Saturday night because Never Untucked and the Young One both asked me out for tonight so it gave me a good reason to say "no".
Meanwhile I am still on the mormon dating website and I have been getting lots of messages which I almost always ignore. For some reason I responded to this guy in NY who asked if he could call me. I gave him my number and it turns out that his roommate is my 1st cousin! Random!
Anyway that is all I have for now. I am worn out just thinking about it. Don't you wish you could be cool like me?! I am such a loser. I really can't believe this week!

Fun in the sun...oh the joys of childhood summers!
You'll have to excuse the sideways picture. I got it that way and have no idea how to fix it. Anyway it looks like she's MOSTLY having a lot of fun...that sunburn might hurt a little! Summertime is pretty much awesome for kids. I am totally jealous!
What's meaner? Sending me a vacation picture while I am at work or e-mailing me that his friend from high school is friends with my ex-husband. How about both in the same day? Just the same I think this picture is adorable. Of course I am biased now.
It's been a great couple of days. The problem is that the better things are going for me relationship-wise, the more boring my blog becomes. Sorry CC. I am just not a giggle-maker anymore I guess.
I spent about 5 hours on the phone today after work. Sometimes you're just on a roll. I also rearranged my kitchen and cleaned my house...I like talking while I work, but my phone only works in the kitchen so it limits my housework potential greatly.
I have been so much of a social butterfly in my singles ward lately that people are starting to call me to find out what is going on in the ward. I am not even a true member of that ward, but I have been going to pretty much every activity that they have while my daughter is vacationing at my sisters. It keeps me occupied, but I worry that I will miss it really bad later. nah, I miss my daughter more. I need her to stay grounded. I got some cute pictures of her today too...I will upload those and then I need to get to bed.

Mamasita
Here is my Mom in Japan. She is in a cemetary there. That is her favorite past-time as a geneaologist. She is basically stylin' among the ancestors. I miss my Mom. I have been lucky to live within a couple of hours of her for all of my adult life. I actually got to live with her for 2 years after my 1st divorce and she made sainthood as far as I am concerned. She let me ramble on for hours and hours and would just listen to me. I would like to be that kind of a Mom to my daughter.
