Info

So the Nice Guy and I are still seeing one another. I figured it was time to give you some info on him. We have known eachother since we were kids and have grown up together. We were good friends when I was in high school. I hung out with him and his roommates a lot my senior year, because they were older and they had beer. (side note: I am a beer drinker. I don't like wine, however i do love a good UV Blue and lemonade, margarita, or Cosmo. Still beer is my favorite.) Anyway, Nice Guy and I have stayed friends and we have gotten to know each other better. After my split with the ex I was very surprised to have him ask me out.

Other than that. Nice Guy went to college for Business/Banking and Finance. However, he is working as an electritian for his dad (who owns the company). He has two older sisters (who both used to babysit for my bro and I back in the day). His family is awesome. I have also known them for years and years. He likes hunting and mechanical stuff. He is your typical all around guys guy. That's all for now I guess. Have a good day.

is it friday yet??

Okay so I am just ready for Saturday so that I can sleep in. I love weekends purely for the sleep in factor.

Anyway I have another date with the nice guy again tommorow night. I have no idea what we will be doing. I was kind of being bad and told him that it was totally up to him. So, as of this moment I am clueless and guess what?? I LOVE IT!!!

I will also be babysitting again this weekend for the family that has 4 kids I will have #1 and #4 ages 8 and 1. They really are great kids and I am excited to see them. I haven't seen them for a while. #4 should be walking like crazy, last time I saw him he was standing up on his own.

On a side note. I want to have count downs on the side of my page. If anyone could tell me where to find one that would be great!!!

jerks vs. good guys

I know, I know, I know. Two post in one day well I felt the need to separate these because they are two very different by semi related topics. After writing the first this popped into my head.

~I am still very much enjoying my time with the nice guy. It's one of those things that I am starting to get used to. Having a nice guy that is. My guy friend J and I were discussing the other day the whole women liking bad guys thing. J is a good guy. His ex left him for a bad ass that left her. He told me that women like bad men because we find it to be a challenge to change them. And the funny thing is as women we get told that we can and then we get told that we can't. And how we should go about trying to change men. The fact is that instead of being with a jerk we should just be happy with our nice guy. The only problem is that there is something inside of us that wants us to leave the good guys of the world and be with the jerks. I don't get it and I'm not saying that I am any better than anybody else. I was with a jerk for over two years. I still "loved" the jerk I wanted to be with the jerk. Now, I am with the nice guy we have gone out/hung out three times now and I need some spice I need to have that little bit of jerk to keep me interested. I need something!! What that thing is I don't know. If you do please tell me.

This is just a random rant. I guess it is just one of the mysteries of men and women.

just another day in paradise

Well I had another great night with the nice guy. We watched Knocked Up, and We Are Marshall.

Knocked Up made me laugh a lot. There is lots of sexual humor, lots of pot/getting high. The movie is a riot for all but one small part. I can't tell you what that is cuz I just plain don't want to ruin it for you. And how could I forget the ever beautiful and extremely HOTT Katherine Heigl.



Next I am a huge fan of football movies. I hate watching actual football. We Are Marshall is one of my favorites. The movie is based on the Marshall University football team in West Virgina in the 1970s. Basically there is a plane crash that kills almost the whole football team and coaching staff. So they work from the ground up to rebuild. Matthew McConaughey plays their new head coach, Jack Lengyel. Matthew is an absolute nut case in this movie. He just flat out looks like he is off his rocker but it adds some comedy. And I can't forget Matthew Fox who is the cutie assistant coach, Red Dawson.

I have also finished The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. The book was insightful to say the least. Individualism and egotism are huge topics of the book that is based around the story of 4 men that are all in love with the same woman. Based on architecture and the drive to succeed the book isn't bad if you can make it through the 700+ pages.

Date Two

I had another very nice date with the very nice guy again this weekend. We went out for pizza and were going to go bowling. After sitting and eating and talking for 2-and-a-half hours we decided not to go bowling but to just grab a movie and watch it.
Zodiac is a very interesting movie based on the true Zodiac killer of the late 60's and early 70's in San Francisco, California. This movie should not be started at 11pm however. Be for warned that it is a 2-and-a-half hour movie. So needless to say. The nice guy and I are going to have to watch it again to make sure that we got the full affect. (not falling asleep would have helped). Well I believe that is all I have for now.

farming + harvest = my home in autumn

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year!!!!

These are just a few from around the country side of good old IOWA!!

I wouldn't trade being born and raised here for any other place.

nothing major

It has been a very slow beginning to the week. Not much going on here. The weekend was lite, just went to a friend's b-day on Saturday night. We had a really good time.
Last night I went to go see my Auntie who's in town for the week and to see my grandma in the hospital (hip surgery).
Other than that just working and sleeping.
Thinking I am going on a date either tomm. or Friday night. Haven't confirmed anything yet. Pizza and Bowling looks to be the plan for now. I'll just have to see what happens.

The birthday boy!!

and his beautiful wife and I.
