Hope everyone is having a great day! I'm busy getting ready for my garage sale. I never knew I was such a pack rat.
Just try! 
TigerBear...I like your new tag!!!
Good luck with the garage sale preparation.

Ok ... so it's been a while since I had time to post here. Here's an (sorry ... rather long) update, for those keeping score at home
Weekend of June 25 - anniversary party / mini family reunion hosted by my aunt and uncle who were celebrating their 35th anniversary.
June 28-29 - load 25 foot rental truck, complete with car trailer behind it, drive down to my parents new house in Orlando, have some problems with truck (governor, and brake problems), return truck
July 1 - fly back to MI
July 2-5 - gf comes to visit for the weekend, pick her up at the airport, do lots of fun stuff including a concert by the US Army Field Band and Soldier's Chorus, a minor league baseball game, fireworks, and more.
July 6 - spend the day moving stuff ... Ann Arbor has a summer festival, which runs for 3 weeks, and includes the construction of roughly 15-20 temporary structures (food/beverage booths, donations stands, information booth, projection tower, etc), which just ended, and now everything has been put back in storage (this is what I did all day)
Looking forward: July 9 - weekend trip to Minneapolis, which includes some time spent visiting the gf

Wow, SW!! Looks like you're busy for a while. 
Have fun!!
TigerBear...Recovering pack rat? LOLOLOLOL! Sounds like another tag in the making or maybe Recovering Queen Pack Rat.
We have quite a thunderstorm outside. Right now I reeeeeeeally miss my attached two-car garage!
No garage here...just a parking lot!

A match at eharmony! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...not crazy about this one. He's 7 years older, and when I look at his picture, he reminds me more of my Dad than of anyone I want to date. 
Haven't closed him out yet, but I haven't replied either. The other two are still hanging out there. LOL! Neither one has checked back yet.
It's been tooooooooooooooooooooooooo quiet lately, and today is the worst! What is with people these days...besides being busy as anything!

You get notifications even though you're no longer a member? Hmmm.
Hi,
I'm back. Enjoyed Sanibel. I got fried the first day I was there. I bought some new sunscreen and it didn't work well plus I forgot to put any on my lips. I also drank too many strawberry daqs. on the beach the first day.
I actually went on my first eHarmony date. Nice romantic place overlooking the beach. I was afraid of what he looked like since I didn't see a good photo of him. But he was a nice looking man. I thought it went well. We got there at 6 and left at 9:45! Afterwards, he asked me out to lunch which we did 2 days later. After the lunch he asked if I wanted to continue. He thought maybe I did since we went on a 2nd date. He said we weren't that far from each other. He asked if he came for a visit (not staying in my house!) if I would show him around. I said yes. After I left him and got back to the condo, he called and said he forgot to ask me if I would call him when I got back home to let him know I arrived safely. Well, I really liked that.
He was very much a gentleman. Opening doors. Respectful.
After Sanibel, we drove to Disney on 7/2 and I called him as we were leaving Sanibel and said I would call him when we arrived at Disney to let him know I arrived safely. The call went well. I called him when we got to Disney and left a voice mail message. I never heard back from him. I got home on 7/5 and called that evening to let him know I arrived back home safely. He answered his phone. I could just sense the winds had changed. I felt like I was bothering him and I felt like he thought "why are you calling me?"
I haven't heard anything from him since. I haven't heard from the other guy either.

As Sandy would say, "Men stink!" 
Up until the last few lines it seemed like everything was going wonderfully. I'm not sure what to make of it except....and I hate to play into gender stereotypes....I do think that many men enjoy the chase. When my brother initially told me this I thought he was crazy. Then I read Mars and Venus on a Date. Sure enough, Dr. Gray clearly agrees with my brother.
The feminist in me cringes when I say this, but I wouldn't call either one of these guys. Let them do the pursuing. Good luck, Legs. Doesn't it feel good to be back in the game at least? It can be painful and frustrating, but it is a learning process. I really do highly recommend Dr. Gray's book:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...9335216/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/002-8748865-5494426
Isn't it interesting how people take away different information when they read a book! I just looked at the first review on Amazon and she said that Dr. Gray recommends that a woman call a guy if he doesn't call. So, I dragged the book out to see what he says:
"If, in the uncertainty stage, a man does not call for a while, it is a good idea for the woman to give him a call but not to pursue him or tell him how she feels about being ignored...She can call just to say hi, to thank him for something, or to ask a question that he has some expertise about...The worst thing she can do is to call him and interrogate him about his feelings about her and their relationship.
Sometimes when a man is in stage two he temporarily forgets about a woman. Two days, two weeks, or even two months can pass by in a flash, and then suddenly he remebers how much he likes a woman. He thinks about calling her but anticipates that he will be scolded or rejected for taking so long to call. So he decides to not call and moves on. If he has recieved a friendly call, then he gets the clear message that he is not in trouble. This then frees him to consider pursuing her again."
He also has a whole section on why men don't call. Don't know if this will help, but I just find it so interesting.

HI Ya'll from the Wonder...
Ok Leggs...what a jerk...some men I don't get at times...I know I don't have time to play those games and if the guy wants to play those types of games, it's not worth my time or effort. LIfe is just way too short!

I only called him once I finally got home because he mentioned that he wanted me to call and let him know I got back home safely. I will not call him again. The ball is in his court. I'm not calling the other guy either.
The guy I dated before this one was always late and never opened doors. And another guy never asked about me. Just talked endlessly about himself. This guy was amazing. On time. Called me if he was going to be just 5 min late. Opened doors. Asked about my day. Payed for everything even though I offered.
I learned how wonderful it is to have all that and I need to have all that.
I remember reading that exact section in that Venus & Mars book after another guy I dated.
FLM- I'm jealous! Wish I was there with ya. I really thinks it's time for another Disney cruise. I wish they were in FL next summer instead of CA.

Leggs...I know what you mean...wasn't even planning on going on this trip, but they came out with a FL resident rate. Was actually planning on going on another cruiseline, but that just wasn't meant to be. Glad to be here...it feels like coming home. This is Bri's b-day present. She's have the time of her life!
Brianna!Is she 5 now?
My dd's birthday is the end of this month. I'm trying to figure out what to do for a party. I think it would be easier to go on a cruise!
What have you done so far on the ship?

Geez, this book sounds interesting. I'll have to look for it. Like I haven't "invested" in B&N enough already. LOLOL!
Guys' way of thinking is just too weird. Don't contact them too often, they don't like that. Don't let too much time go by before you contact them or they'll write you off. In my book they should be contacting us, not us them. Pin Wizard
