Hi everyone! Sunday check in!
PW~Tell me about it! Early this week the weather was gorgeous, up to 74, which is really good for Ohio, and then Friday and Saturday: cold, rainy, snowy, yucky.
floridaminnie~How did the weekend trip go?
TB~How was the hike? I hope you had good weather!
Legs~Everyone is DYING to know how things are going with the guy!!
Okay, now for my news, he he. The date was yesterday, and it went well, although I wondered how it would go at first! Well, he came over a little later than I expected, around 6 or so, so we headed out to a new bookstore here and browsed a bit. Then we decided to get something to eat, and I told him about a deli downtown that I've never been to. So, we decided to go there, only to find out that it was already closed for the day!
So we improvised by going to a burger place that is like, legendary here in town, everyone that visits here must have a burger from this place. So, we get there and I parked in the parking lot, and I swear, I didn't know it, but there was a HUGE puddle on his side, and he stepped in it!

It was the only puddle in the entire parking lot.

Other than that, it went well, and it was near a coffeshop that we wanted to visit afterwards. They have live music on Saturday nights, and so I heard that we should be there by 7 or 7:30 for the 8 pm show. Well, we had passed this place around 7:15 or so, and it was empty. So, we had our burger and then went to the coffee shop. It was about 7:40 pm. So, we parked across the street and pressed the crosswalk button and waited for the signal. All vehicles were stopped at the light and the signal said to walk, so we started to cross. There was a truck in the turning lane, and he started to turn. He hit us!

And I don't think he realized he did, cuz he kept coming! I don't remember right now what happened, if we yelled at him, I think I did, or what, but then the guy realized that we were walking there!

He was an elderly man, and he tried to roll down his window but was really flustered. I waved him on to let him know we were okay, but actually, he had hit me on the elbow and it hurt really bad. Later on last night my upper arm/shoulder/neck started hurting, but I'm okay now.
So, we get to the coffee shop, and it was packed!! It was standing room only, but that was okay. The music was good. So, around 10:30ish we headed back to my apartment, and decided to watch a movie,

The Incredibles, he he. So, yah, that was fun. He ended up hanging out until around 2 am.

I felt really bad cuz he had to drive home 3 hours and I guess it was snowing where he lives! But he called round 5ish to let me know he was home okay.
Whew! I think this was a disaster first date, but it turned out well in the end. He's a really sweet, nice guy, and I was pleasantly surprised about how well the night turned out. We want to see each other again, so it all depends on schedules, etc., but a second date is definitely in the works!

I just hope the second date goes a lot smoother than the first!
