Gosh darn work!

Hello all. I had a busy weekend and I've got a busy week coming up. What does this mean? That I'm essentially going to be ignoring you for the next few days. I'm swamped with work and trying to get over the carnage I witnessed at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro last night. $100 bucks to see the Pats beat themselves against the Colts!!!!! Just horrible!!

Okay, I'll write again when I can. Have a great week!

Awwwwwwww! How cute is she??!!

This is niece Taylor as Elvis. Momma Beth wanted to get a baby wig for her with some sideburns to complete the look, but no luck. Rather than stick her baby in a furry animal suit of some kind, Beth went the other way and made her kid something cool for Halloween!! Good move, B. Good move!!

Have a great weekend!! I know I will!! Going to the Pats/Colts game at Gillette on Sunday night. Peyton and Co. are going down, baby!!

Why my friend Mike is so funny.

This picture about sums it up, but here are a few other reasons.

1) He grew the beard and mustache out a month before Halloween.
2) He tried his darndest to find a pair of ass-less chaps...and was really ticked off when he wasn't able to come up with any.
3) He refused to break character throughout the night, asking patrons in a high-pitched, stereotype gay tone "Hey guys, what can I get you?"

I just love this kid.

Halloween at work.

So here I am on Saturday night working at the bar. We had two huge Halloween parties upstairs and about 85 percent of the people dressed up. That's a really good showing, I thought. I was in a room where people were pretty lame and not dressed up, but that didn't stop us!!

...Well, the staff HAD to dress up, but we didn't mind. It's fun to be part of the scene, I think. Anyway, I'm supposed to be a gangster/mob-boss. I wore a black and white pinstripe suit with this red corset and a black hat. This fake tat was painted on me by a face-painter lady we had working that night. It literally took her five minutes to do. I was amazed!! Washed right off too!!

Anyway, I'll have more fun pictures after I go out with some of my co-workers on Halloween night!! Good times!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Didn't do much else this weekend. Met up with Beth and the baby yesterday for brunch then dropped by the Stadium to see Loc and his buddy Chris and take in some football. Loc and I are going out to watch Monday Night Football (Pats/Vikings) tonight, well at least the first half of the game because we're both old and have to get up in the morning!! Should be a good time.

That's all for now. How was your weekend?

The verdict.

I know you're all chomping at the bit!

Honestly, it was one of the best first dates I've ever been on. No lie. There was lots of conversation with NO lulls. Lots of sharing, lots of laughing, lots of smiling, lots of flirting, lots of honesty, and lots of getting to know each other. Lots of fun and lots of anticipation. Lots of being comfortable.

There was also a little smooching. ; )

All in all, it was a great night and I'm really looking forward to our next date. Unfortunately, I have to work all freakin weekend so we planned on meeting up Monday night for some grub and to watch the Pats on MNF!! Well, at least the first half, because we're both old and have to work in the morning!!

You should be happy for me readers. I really got a good feeling about this one!!

Here I go again.

Met a new guy and I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying I've got a good feeling about this one. I met him a week ago yesterday at The Stadium (a bar we go to to watch football. He's one of the guys who recognized me from karaoke at the Junction). We've already been out a couple a times in group environments, but Wednesday is our first "official" date.

Here are some details:
* His name is Loc. Short for Lochlaughn (I think that's how he spells it. It's pronounced Lock-land). His grandma's maiden name was O'Lochlaughn, so his mom dropped the O and made it his name. He calls it cruel. I said it makes him unique.

* He also lives in Southie, just a few streets away, in a place he owns. I'm miles away from owning property. Miles and miles.

* He's older, which I LOVE. He's 33. I'm two months away from 29. Perfect.

* He grew up in Easton, Conn., a town that neighbored the town in which I attended college. It's been fun talking about that area of the country and how bad it sucked!!

* He has cool friends and likes mine too. This is huge in my book. Hate the idea of having to babysit a guy around my friends. No chance of that here.

* He already says really sweet things to me, but not in annoying way.

In short, I'm hoping he's a keeper because to be honest, I'm tired of the grind. I want to be off the market. I'm ready to be off the market. Wish me luck.
