Speed Dating
Posted in on by
Sorry for the delay in my thoughts on the whole speed dating thing. Most of you know I signed up for an event with a couple friends in Roanoke. We had no clue what to expect, but it's a good concept and I've been curious about it for some time now.
Turned out there were only 7 women and 5 guys in attendance on Thursday. A little disappointing because you don't meet as many people. I think a full event has 24 people. Every woman has a table that's hers all night. The guys start at a table and rotate every 5 or so minutes. Our 'dates' were 8 minutes. I was most worried about being able to carry on these 5 min conversations without awkwardness, and worried I'd run out of questions. In actuality 8 min is barely long enough to find out where someone lives, what they do, and a little about hobbies. All the conversations were good, no crazy stories there. At the end of the night you fill out a card with all the guys names and circle 'interested in talking', 'interested in talking work', or nothing. So basically, I'll go on a date with you, we could be friends, or not interested. If any of your picks circle the same thing for you, you match. You're sent an email with all your matches the next day. It's up to you to make contact from there.
I still think it's a great concept. I'm sure it's hit or miss depending on the people that sign up every month. Roanoke's not the hotbed for young outgoing singles so the events might be more successful in a bigger city. Or with more advertising. I mean 6 or the 7 women were from Blacskburg. A drawnback was the cost. $32 is a little steep. I'm still wondering what all that money went towards, we didn't get cocktails or anything. Since the women at this event met less then 6 guys we'll get a free event. That made paying the $32 not so bad :)
I'll do it again (my free one at least), and wouldn't disuade others from trying it out. Going with friends definitely added to the fun. Of course I'm still skeptical I'd meet 'the one' there, but it was fun :)

Clouds - DVR - Nashville
Posted in on by
It's been tough getting anything done today when I've spent half my time watching the clouds race across the sky. They've been moving at a good clip today, looked like they were exploding softness, and the sun was highlighting them just right :) Now it's gotten dark though, hopefully it won't be a rainy evening!
I've decided if they shows I want to watch keep coming on past my bedtime I'm going to need to break down and purchase a DVR. This morning when I woke up after too little sleep because I stayed watching TV I was thinking how nice it would be to have that extra hour or more of sleep and be watching the highlights of my show while I got ready for the day. Ah convenience cost $$.
As for the show. Nashville Star. The country version of American Idol, singers with actual talent but still an annoying host. What reality TV show doesn't have an annoying host? Last night was the first time I've watched this season, seems to be a good crop. Next week will show their real talent because they'll be singing there own songs! The funny thing though is that Bret Michaels from Poison is one of the judges. That made me laugh. From his comments sounds like he's been a country music fan his whole life. Next week he'll be singing a duet of Every Rose with host LeAnn Rimes... should be... intresting ;)
Off to a night of marking things off my TODO list.

Trying To Find Atlantis
Posted in on by
I love this song :) Always makes me smile and want to jam.
I hear he's out there somewhere
Been looking for him everywhere
From Rosweld to Timbuck too I thought I found him once at a jiffy lube
But it turned into a dead end so I got my oil changed and I tried again
He was a major in archeology
I was digging on him but he wasn't on me
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
It's a mystery like the deep blue sea
You can take it you can leave it but I still believe
So I won't give up and I won't give in
I know I'm gonna find him I just don't know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
I met a mystic down in Memphis we stood at the foot of the pyramid
He had me looking east - He had me looking west
Then he showed me a map and said I wish you the best
There was Elvis not the real one
When told me good bye he called me hun
Just another shot in the dark like Eldorado or Noah's ark

As long as all goes well with home inspections, mortgages, closing etc, that'll be my new address this summer. Yep, I bought a house this weekend. Well I guess technically I have a contract on a house, it won't be bought til closing. :) It was surprisingly less stressful then I expected it to be. It's a beautiful house with lots of the features I was looking for, so I said why not go for it :) I can't wait to strip all the wallpaper, move in, and make it me :)
Here's the pics that were on the listing...
I might be able to look out over the lights of blacksburg from the front porch, not sure if I'm quite high enough though. I should be able to watch the sunset over the mountains :)
View of the backyard from the left side yard. (left looking from front)
Hopefully this will become the pool room :)
Window Treatments will be coming down!! As well as that beautiful wallpaper :)
Sorry M, it's an electric stove.
...and there it is :)
