[englishrose47]

Waho for both Mr Glasses and the 10 - 6 !!! Ya hve to turn him on to the Dis and he has to be Mr Glasses !!!

 

[Disneyfan71]

WOW sounds like you had a good time I'm very happy for you

 

[bertegirl]

Good guys do still exist...Keep my fingers and toes crossed for you! Can't wait to hear ore about him!

 

[kgle]

I found the link to your PTR from another thread, so I started reading it, and I had to laugh a little at this because you could have been describing me! I once dated a woman who called me "Mr. Glasses", I have dimples, I worked for the state, and I went to law school (now a lawyer). So, that kind of made me chuckle. Sounds like my twin.

I hope it works out for you!

That's crazy! He works for the state as a budget analyst and is going to law school because he has dreams of teaching constitutional law and also wants to lobby for the government.



Everyone- thanks again! Sometimes its easy to get down about all the a-holes out there so its refreshing to meet a guy who is nice and down to earth and just plain old respectful. We are still emailing constantly and talked for a total of like 1 1/2 hours yesterday on the phone. Of course, I detest dating. I hate the whole "Omg does he like me? No...he doesn't like me. Something's wrong. Wait what? Everything's fine! He does like me!" You know?? lol. I am a total over analyzer too so that doesn't help.



Alright on Disney. This is my plan

Right now I have $340 paid off on my balance. I plan on paying $460 on 2/10, leaving me with a balance of $836. Then on 3/10 I plan on paying $150 more, leaving me with a balance of $686 to be paid by 3/25. I think I pretty much have that figured out. My student loan disbursement date is today so I should have that check in about a week and a half. Haha last semester, I took a $6200 check to the bank and cashed it in full. I have to do the same this time since my bank will hold it for a week and I don't want them to do that. I am also expecting my federal tax refund any day now which will pocket the account by another $2500. I am paying off my car next month!! My VERY first car in MY name!!

I should be buying airfare in the next couple of weeks...but still holding onto the hope that there is another ding for $59 to and from Orlando that works for my dates! Sucks so bad that the end date was right before we leave! Otherwise...I will probably go with Southwest....Ugh I don't know. I just don't want to mess with luggage on the way home and I have no idea how it works on DME on the return trip if you aren't using a participating airline. Time to check airfare again.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Instead of hijacking your PTR w/ lots of photos, here are the links to DS's Handy Manny party!

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

Oh my gosh that was awesome. A lot more creative than what I would have come up with! And your DS was hilarious with his cake I was cracking up. Yes, Wilton food coloring is hell. For Rylan's cake last year I had to use black for Elmo's eyes of course and that damn coloring stained my counter top so badly and almost stained the bowls I mixed the icing in. I have to start getting ideas together for his birthday...we are dangerously close to only 2 months away. I just have no idea where to have it at and I am thinking my house might be too small this time.

I lucked out that all the Handy Manny party supplies were released in early Oct. so it arrived in time for DS's party on Nov. 1. Lots of cute stuff for favors and decorations!

Hey! I'm super excited things are moving along nicely with Mr. Glasses! It's been over 10 years since I've been on the dating scene so I don't envy you there! I remember those days, the back & forth; Does he like me? Do I even like him? Should I shave my legs tonight??!!!


It sounds like you are making great progress on your payment plan! I was making payments every 2 weeks when DH got paid, but I ended up paying for the whole trip in full last night when I made MORE changes! I'm heading to my PTR now to make the new change announcement! Stay tuned!

omg you have no idea how torturous the movie theater was. I wanted to hold his hand...and this was my mind---> "Okay just put your hand out there. Do it now. No, don't do it, pull it back. He will think you are weird. Does he like me? Do it, just grab his hand. No, leave it alone he will do it if he wants to. Quit being a baby and take his hand. No wait is he really interested. JUST DO IT" I am serious lol. I felt like such a weenie! Of course I eventually did, and he told me later that night that he thought the boldness of it was cute LOL so much worrying for nothing! Off to check out your ptr!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Ohhh, the agony!! Good for you for going for it! Sometimes guys need a little push! Who know's if DH and I would be together if I wouldn't have had some balls!! He was oblivious to my flirting and he didn't know how to flirt if his life depended on it! I had to let him know, clear as day, that I was interested. (I may have been a little tipsy at the time and told him he was f'in hot!!) I haven't lived that one down yet!!!

LOL @ f-in hot. Thats hilarious.

 

[Disneyfan71]

Congrats on Mr. Glasses..I remember when I met my DW..we went to a lake around here and I just asked if I could kiss her--There was just that feeling. But I know where you're coming from--sometimes you just don't know

That's good on your payments too It's a good feeling to know it's almost done.

 

[wlwilliams9]

Hey! How's the weather been in Indy? Did you guys get all of the ice? I was worried you wouldn't have power and go into DIS withdrawls!

 

[alan_renfroe]

Hi Kara! Sorry I've been behind on my DISboarding. (Is that a word? a verb? hmm...) Sounds like life is treating you great in 2009! Congrats on the new BF!

I don't know if I told you or not, but we decided to upgrade to CSR. I love it there!! We figured up the difference, and it was less than $300 for the upgrade, so I felt like it was worth it! Anyway, maybe we'll meet up at the pool or something one day while we're there. I'll bet Rylan is going to LOVE that Dig Site pool!

Oh its been horrible. It started Tuesday afternoon...at 4:45 I left to go to my mom's to drop Rylan off so I could go to class. Once I drove I decided it wasn't a good idea to drive since the roads were terrible. Well I then woke up Wednesday morning to 12 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. Roads were ridiculous. I couldn't drive faster than 20 mph and luckily my dad unburied my car from the snow. Schools were out for 2 days. Thank goodness the roads are much better now, but supposedly we are in for another storm this coming week. Hopefully its not as bad as this past week

Oh there's no BF, just a love interest LOL.

Yay for you guys upgrading to CSR! I knew you were thinking about it but didn't know you really went for it! When are you guys coming again?




Okay more updates on me. I am way behind on school work. I have a rough draft of a 1000 word paper due tomorrow and haven't even started on it yet. I have felt so unmotivated. Thank goodness I am taking the summer off of school.

Me and Mr. Glasses. Outlook is iffy. Basically he kind of disappeared Wednesday then emailed me Thursday evening to tell me that something had happened in his life and right now he didn't think dating was an option. He didn't want to lose me in his life (his words) and wanted me to be there so he could vent when needed and to just be his friend. I said I could do that. What can I say I like the guy darnit. Anyway, I emailed him yesterday just to tell him to smile and think positively and to try to have a good day. He emailed me back to say thanks and tell me it meant a lot to him to hear that. Well he ended up calling last night, which was completely unexpected. He spilled. (I was worried he just found out he had a kid or something) I already knew that a few years ago he had a cancer scare. He found a lump, which turned out to be a benign tumor. Well apparently the other day he found another one and has been freaking out ever since. The first time, he was dating a girl for a while and she was supposed to meet him at the Dr's office and she never showed and he waited there for 3 hours. I guess it kind of jaded him. He said its his problem and he doesn't want to bring anyone else into it and doesn't want someone else to deal with it. (I made sure to tell him that I was going to be concerned either way) We talked for a while. He got off the phone to try to get some sleep and asked how late I would be up. I told him probably late, but I didn't know. He said he would call me back if he couldn't sleep. Well around midnight he texted me and told me he couldn't sleep. He told me to call him. Talked again for a little bit and we both got off the phone to go to bed.

Don't know what's going on. He already said that he knows I am a good person and I wouldn't do to him what his ex did to him. I personally would never say no to dating a great man because he had a life threatening condition. I feel that for me, if I get to spend my time with someone like that, no matter how long its for, it will still be a wonderful memory and I would never regret it. I would never want to miss out on something like that ya know? You guys have any opinions?? I don't really know where we stand. He is going to the doctor on Monday and selfishly I am hoping its benign again (and obviously hope for his sake its benign as well).

Other news, they cut my hours at work to 34/week. Rylan's dad got laid off...don't know whats going to happen to child support.

Yuck what a crappy week.

 

[kgle]

This was his exact email on Thursday:


Hey I have some time. Listen something came up and I need to deal with it. I don't want to go into details but things will be quite different and dating isn't prob going to be an option. However, I will need someone to talk to and be there for me as a friend and despite this I don't want to lose you in my life. Its not ideal, but its life. I understand if you are not interested in it and maybe sometime ill spill my guts about what I have to go through. Take some time to think about it and let me know.

I just found your PTR and I'm excited for you and Rylan!!!

Really enjoy hearing about others plans to Disney!!! I'm sure you will be very excited to be done with winter!!

We lived in Alaska and moving to FLorida couldn't have happened faster for us!

Well just wanted to let you know I have joined for the ride!!!

 

[wlwilliams9]

WOW!! A lot has happened to you this week!!! Hopefully, Mr. Glasses will be OK, I'll be saying a little prayer for him...and you!! Did you offer to go to the Dr's with him? Maybe it's a little too soon for that, but I would make sure to call him right after his appointment to, first, make sure he's OK and second, to let him know you're serious about being friends and more if he's up for it. I'd let him know that no matter what the outcome of the lump, he deserves to be happy and enjoy time with a special chicka like yourself. Hang in there! I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

Sorry your week was so crappy! Hopefully, next week will be better!!

Thanks for the prayers I am sure he would appreciate them from everyone right now! I told him in a roundabout way that if he had asked me to be there with him I would, and he knows that. He knows I would never leave him to be there by himself. I told him I AM involved now and I AM concerned and I definitely want an update. So, once I find out when the appt is I will definitely text him beforehand to wish him luck. Hopefully things work out, I just think (and he thinks too) that he is thinking of the worst right now and it could turn out like last time and be benign. He's just scared. I have personal issues too with health and I know what its like to be stuck with something for life, although I haven't told him, that's for another day and time.

 

[Disneyfan71]

I'm sorry that happened..but I guess some people are differen't. They might not want to bring something else into a relationship!! He might be afraid of what you might think, and I can certainly relate to that!! But I hope it all works out..he sounds perfect for you Keep your chin up, it will get better.
