I picked up another load of my belongings Saturday morning as well as picking up DD13 for the rest of the weekend. D13 and I had a very enjoyable time together and did some shopping and ran some errands. I asker her to purchase what she felt that she needed for her bathroom, etc. We did some furniture shopping and will be having some major furniture delivered Wednesday. I made a nice dinner for the both of us (on the new grill!) and made brunch Sunday morning. We took a ride through the country and stopped for ice cream and a couple of shopping errands. We then went home and she baked cookies. I took her back to the XW at 17:30.

I had one of the best night's worth of sleep that I've had in months Saturday night while DD13 was there. Last night I slept poorly. I have been sleeping poorly for about the last 8-months. Obverall, a very good weekend.

booka, just curious, but where are you from??

mlhb,

Your question is fairly open-ended, so I'll give you the full run-down.

Born in Annapolis MD, and lived my first 10-years there.

Moved to Ballwin MO and lived 6.5 years there.

Moved to Melbourne Beach FL and lived less than a year there.

Moved to St Charles MO and lived in various places in the city limits until 11-2006. Lived temporarily in O'Fallon MO until 01-13-2007.

Now I live in a very small town about 15-miles NNW from St Charles that is called St Paul oin a new house in a new subdivision.

Why do you ask?

oh, got ya...lol
for some reason i thought you were over in europe.. that is why i asked..lol

I'm American and a blonde!

I signed up for a 3-month subscription to match.com and sent several emails to women that I was interested in.

i hope you put a warning up:

warning: i am still healing whether i want to admit it or not. i might be ok today, i might want to date today, but tomorrow maybe a different story.. PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION.....

ugh booka... dunno if you are ready for this yet... just be careful and be honest with the ladies ok?

All right, it's been a while and there's still lots of drama going on and other things as well. I had my best week at my new house this past week. I've become very used to living by myself. I'm in a new development and will have neighbors soon. There's a young couple building next door to me and I've talked to them many times and like them very much.

I had my daughter for another weekend and my sister and her husband came and visited with us 2 weekends ago. 3 weekends ago I moved the last of my possessions from the ex-house to the new house. I've got quite a bit of organizing to do in the garage.

I met someone back in November at the time that the divorce had been announced and I was ready to move out. I really liked this woman and we talked on the phone a few times in the next few days. We then fell out of contact. Since then, I've been out and about and have met a lot of people. I kept thinking about C, the woman I had met in November. I still had her phone number and called her on Super Bowl Sunday. We chatted several times last week and we left it that we would have dinner on Saturday. C was babysitting over night for her friend's DD9, P. I understood that P was accompanying us for dinner and did not mind. We met at a restaurant and I arrived first and got our name of the list. C and P arrived just after that and we stood and talked. We had a nice dinner and when the check came, C paid! We didn't have formal plans for after dinner, so as we left the restaurant I asked C what she would like to do. C invited me to her home to watch some movies. We ran 2-movies but did more talking than watching. I had a great time and was a gentleman. I left about midnight. She walked me out and we hugged. I was pretty excited and didn't get to sleep until after 02:30 Sunday. I called C Sunday afternoon and thanked her for everything. I told her I was available most of the time and she said she would call.

C has taste, style, a good job, a nice home, a nice car, nice furnishings, and her TV puts mine to shame. C is 2-years younger than me and she is a first child as I am. We had several things in common. I feel she is worth pursuing. I'm still buzzed about the whole experience.
