Last night was perfect (and if not perfect -- It was close too it.) I was somewhat nervous about the meeting because you never know what your getting yourself into when you have to face someone face to face. After getting off of work yesterday I had to stop off at the Credit Union to get some money for the activities that were planned. I'll be the first to admit that I was really looking forward to the date. It had been awhile since I had been on ... and I was looking forward to being outside of the house and not chillin' on the Internet without any else to do. I got home and just rest my mind, body and soul. We decided that we were going to go bowling ... and the last time I went bowling my score was horrible! I could only laugh when I thought about going bowling.

I arrived at their place around 8pm and shortly after we were on the road headed towards the bowling alley. Once we got the bowling alley we noticed that it must of been League night -- So that plan was out of the picture. We thought it would be cool to try skating but that was closed. We ended up going to get something to eat ... and the conversation was great. We ended up closing the establishment that we were at. I knew I was showing out and really needed to be at home under my covers getting ready for work but I just couldn't. I hadn't felt that way since the 1900's and I was going to get most out of the situation. To make a long story short there will probably be more dates to come.

But enough about me ...

I'm sitting here watching Oprah and the guests on the show are sharing how they got a second chance/lease on life. I'm asking myself "Why wait for the 2nd chance?" I understand that the 2nd time around gets most people to focus and really cherish things in their lives ... But I'm making an accord with myself to love life ... the 1st time around.
