Hello Again, Hello

Hello? Tap...tap...tap....Is this thing on?

The other day I was working at a clinic and this single, 36-39 year old woman can in with her two cats. She was friendly, and I somehow mentioned that I was looking for a house in that part of town. She got really excited and told me that there was a house for sale, "right across the street from her," and that "it would be sooo nice to have you live across the street from me."

This woman was cute, but not pretty, and if I was 10 years older, then I might have been attracted to her. All during this time the receptionist, and my technician, both of whom are women, are laughing outside the exam room. I had the door open, so they could hear everything that was being said. They just love it when some Desparate Housewife hits on me. Although, I realize that this woman wasn't exactly a housewife, but you get the point.

Wow, it's been sinse December 6th that I've posted on this here blog. I don't even think that I have 1 reader anymore, so I'll continue posting for my sake, which is kinda really why I started this blog anyway. Kind of as a journal. Here's a quick recap of my life over the last 2 months...

1) Annie (aka Bean) and I broke up about 2 months ago. It was a very difficult decision and I prayed about it about as much as anything in my life. If you happen to read this Annie, I hope that you are doing well. I'm doing pretty well, but as the old song goes, "Breaking Up is Hard to Do." Well said

2) Christmas came and went, and I got a PS3, which I absolutely LOVE!!! I haven't spent endless hours playing it, but I have spent a decent chunk of my time sharpening my eye-hand coordination. I'm getting pretty good at Motor Storm though. I'm still pretty piss-poor at Call of Duty 4, but in my defense, I really just started playing it. It was good to hang out with my family and Merry times were had by all.

3) I'm actively looking for a house. My first house. And I'm pretty nervous about it. Maybe it the whole commitmant thing. Maybe...

4) I'm actively looking for a new car/SUV, although, I think that I'm gonna keep my truck and get a car. I've never owned a car in my life. I've had, in chronological order, a 1989 Ford Ranger, a 1995 Ford F-150, and my current truck is a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. I really love trucks. But I really don't love paying $55-$70 to fill up the tank. No me gusta mucho. So I'm pretty much going with a mid-size sedan. Yeah, I know, how much lamer can you get than a Honda Accord, Toyota Camery, Chevy Malibu, etc. But I test drove a VW Passat, and I LOVED IT! However, I'm not so sure that I'll love the maintenance costs associated with driving a German automobile. But for a sticker price of $25,800, it's pretty tough to beat, considering what you get for that price. But on the grand scheme of things, buying a new car is the lowest on my list. First it's paying Uncle Sam, if I owe anything. Then it's having money for a down payment + fixer-upper $ for a house. And finally, it's $ for a car. It all depends on how much money I have after Uncle Sam sticks it to me. No bueno.

5) I just found out that Daisy, my Golden, has a VI/VI heart murmur. In lay terms, that is the worst possible heart murmur, in terms of severity. She was born with a narrowed aortic artery. I hope and pray that she holds on for a long time...

6) I jumped back onto match.com last week and I have a date tonight. I'm pretty excited about it, but my expectations are pretty low. They are that way because this ain't exactly my first rodeo, and these match.com blind dates can be pretty interesting, both for the good and the bad. But, she is an Aggie, 5'10", and is older than I am. Oooooh, and older woman. Oh hush. She's less than 1 year older than I am.

I hope that anybody that reads this is doing well, and if you've made it this far through this post, I have pity on you.

Keep on keepin' on.
