My saga Part I

It's New Year's Eve and what am I doing? Reading other people's blogs and that just about sums it up. It's 11:52 so I suppose I will be writing this when midnight rolls around. Maybe I'll stop writing this as soon as the clock strike 12 and give my guy a big smooch. I can't even believe that I am here with him. It's quite a tale to tell. I think I will waste some time and tell it to all of you.

I met my boyfriend four years ago when I moved from Illinois to Texas. My sister and aunt lived here and I decided to try my luck in the big state of Texas. I loved it here from the moment that I got here. It was like I was a new me. I was happy for the first time in my life and content. So, what does a single gal do who is looking for some love? Well, I decided to log onto Yahoo and find me a guy.

I met a couple of guys but nothing really came of it. One of them was a crazy doctor who showered me with gifts and called but one day decided to go to Germany for three months after we had been talking for awhile. So, I moved on. During that time I stated talking to my guy. At first I didn't think that we were going to really click. He sent me a picture of himself and I was not really all that into him. He looked like one of my friends dad and well, I just could not go there. Plus he was pretty heavy in the picture. I like big guys but his weight made him really look the dad. So we stopped talking for awhile.

Then one day he IMd me again. He asked me to go out to dinner. I told him no with the hopes that he would go away. He did not. He's a persistant fellow. So when he asked me out again I decided to go in the hopes that we would meet not hit it off and once again he would just fade away. Nope, didn't happen.

Our first date was kind of strange. We both worked until late so we decided to meet at our local House of Pancakes. It was the only place open at that time of night. I had a picture of him so I assumed that I would know what he looked like when I saw him. So I got there first and looked around. I did not see anyone who looked like him. Remember I'm looking for a fairly large guy here. No big guys anywhere around me. So as I'm walking into the place this kinda cute guy walks in behind me.

The hostess thought that we were together because we walked in at the same time so she told us to both follow her. I was a little upset because this man was actually following me. He sat down at the table right next to me so I was feeling a little better, but then he kept looking at me. I was starting to get kinda freaked out here. I was just getting to ask him what the hell he was looking at when he said my name. Guess what? It was him. He forgot to tell me that he'd lost about fifty pounds. He's such a booger. Anyways the date was wonderful. For the next three years we were together--Kinda of.
