There was definitely no labor going on in my house over the weekend as I was a complete slug.  Well, I did have a date and I did do laundry, but other than that I wasted a lot of time on the Internet.  I had finally saved up enough coins on Farm Town to purchase a farm house (300,000 coins!!), so I had to rearrange everything to make room for the house and the picket fence.  I bought one dog house too, although I think I have about 8-9 dogs on the farm.  After that I played a lot of Farkle, and then I found a complex solitaire game on Facebook that kept me occupied for several hours Sunday night/Monday morning.

So let’s catch up on the dating situation, shall we?  As you recall I met a guy on BBWPersonals a few weeks ago that turned out to be a big fat liar.  But I persevered and have maintained my profile on that site.  So after I found out about the big fat liar, I sent a smile to a cute guy that lives in Magnolia, and he and I had been emailing back and forth on the site.  He finally sent me his cell phone number last week, and I was all excited about talking to him.  Except that when we had our first conversation, he seemed a little odd.  Like maybe he had a speech impediment or something.  Well, that’s no big deal.  But then he seemed forgetful too – like we would discuss something one minute and two minutes later he would have already forgotten our discussion.  So this seemed a little strange to me.  During our second conversation he disclosed that he had a condition that he had been born with and that this condition did affect his voice and made him forgetful.  Okay, that seemed reasonable to me, but not to my brother who thought this guy was hiding something.  So I got the guy to tell me the name of the condition, and then I did my research on WebMD.  Wow – was my brother right!!  It turns out the condition is really a severe side effect from older antipsychotic drugs that were used to treat schizophrenia.  So now I’m certainly a little leery about continuing this conversation with this guy, and my brother is fairly adamant that I not continue the conversation.  I’m torn – I hate to judge someone who has been able to deal successfully with a major problem in his life, but at the same time I’m not sure I’m up to adding this complex situation into my life.  So that one is on the back burner right now.

In the meantime I chatted with another guy from the site a couple of hours Thursday night, and we made a date for Saturday night.  This guy is a football coach at Houston Reagan, and by all means seemed very normal.  The date actually went very well, and we had tentative plans to meet up again on Monday.  At this point however I started acting like I was from Venus which offended his Martian sensibilities.  He specifically told me that he had not had company over to his place in a while, and that it was pretty junky.  So being a woman and all, I just suggested to him that he clean it up before I came over on Monday.  At that point he stopped responding to my emails or my phone calls.  My brother translated for me and said that the guy was really wanting me to tell him that it was okay that he lived in a pig sty and that it was more important for me to get to know him as a person than to be concerned with the amount of dirt and untidiness in his place. Okay, whatever.  I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a guy who is on a dating site looking for women to try and clean his place up a bit.  I certainly hope he wasn’t expecting that I was going to come over and clean it up for him (because I’ve done that once before against my better judgment).   So that guy is off of the radar now, so I’m pretty much back to square one.

I hope everyone makes it through this week okay – the cool thing about having a Monday holiday is that it is immediately followed by a 4 day week!
