4th Date ... whoa.

I know, I know. It is all too surreal to contemplate. Me on a 4th date? Without there being a 4th guy? I know!

JD and I went to Texas Roadhouse last night in Noblesville for dinner. We talked more about life, where we have been and where we want to go. The conversation (pre-, during and post-) was about four+ hours long so I'll nutshell it: despite all the hardship he had growing up, he has pulled himself up into what he is today.

It is by my own acknowledgement that I have pretty much run as far and as fast away from commitment since Hex. Sure, I've dated here and there but there was never anyone I could imagine spending extended periods of time with, let alone see them a few days in a row. Two days in a row has pretty much been the maximum since the divorce -- and that was rare.

There is this level of comfort with JD that I find mystifying. Not only has he been around, but I've *wanted* him around. It is more than a little freaky. Last night he told me his first impression of me was that I was very conservative, perhaps stuffy, and probably not a lot of fun. God only knows why he asked me out again if that was my outward appearance. :P

Work is going fine, just trying to kick things out the door. I am ready to be done with a couple of projects but the pace is going slower than I'd like. I will probably have to lock myself in my office today.

I went to the gym yesterday and worked out. It felt good but I was tired at the end. Today I have a night meeting in TOJ that starts at 6. I am hoping to be done with that by 7 and back to Indy to hit the gym before bed.

Yet again there was dire predictions of snow out the ying-yang but again there was jack shit for snow. I am tired of the weather people hyping the 'big snow' when what we really get is about .5" of nothingness followed by about an hour of freezing rain. Whoop dee ... does this really require a "Snow Team" to figure this out? Apparently all of you failed your meteorology classes in college. Perhaps future work as a roadside psychic will pay off better.
