I hate thinking up titles for these

The date last night was really good.
We met up down at the Gateway Mall, and chatted for a bit before hitting the road on his, truth be told, quite fabulous motorcycle, and headed to Cedars of Lebanon.  Neither one of us had ever had Lebanese food before, and we were eager to try it out.
We sat in a room that looked like it had a giant bed comforter attatched to the ceiling with a giant, pointy chandelier sticking out of the middle.  This "comforter" would be a favorite topic of conversation by the end of the evening.
We asked our server for recommendations on what to get since we were novices in this particular area, she proceeded to recommend the entire menu.  Not overly helpful, but we did end up choosing a couple of the items she talked about (afterall, we had to order off the menu....)  We shared some Baba Ganooj, which is basically an eggplant version of Hummus, and it was really good!  Then we shared something called Pastilla, which had a sweet meat and I think eggplant in a flaky, phylo-dough thing-a-ma-hoo-sit, also, really good.  I'm not sure of the name of the other dish we got, largely because even while we were looking at the menu, we both couldn't pronounce it, but it was tasty.
I highly recommend Cedars of Lebanon for all your Lebanese needs.
Overall, the date went really well, although I did get a parking ticket from the lovely people at the Gateway, cherry on top of that date....I don't think anything more will come of it though, but I am more than okay with that. 
These last couple dates I have been on have restored my faith in men and dating, so that's pretty good.  I'm happy to be out there and meeting people, I tend to go on a lot of first dates that are either weird and awkward, or that immediately turn into whirlwind relationships, so I am quite content in having dates I enjoy with intelligent, witty and charming men, even if it leads no where.

Although, now I really want a motorcycle.  :)

Exceptionally random thoughts

Wow, I haven't been this bad about not posting things on this blog in a long time. Except for last month, last month doesn't count.  Forget last month even happened.  Okay?  Okay.

I have been pretty busy in the last little while, May has been a bit of a whirl wind.

At work, I have become the go-to person for my particular section of the department, which means I have a seemingly endless barrage of questions being fired at me while I try to complete my actual tasks.  It's fun, and exciting to just kind of have authority heaped upon me for no apparent reason, hopefully it will pay off down the road.

We have celebrated Kelly and DeLayna's birthdays this month, always a fun time, even if it is amid moving boxes and major disarray.  Thankfully, the disarray is virtually no more.

We have already been asked to sing and speak in our new ward, I guess that's what happens when your ward consists of less than 30 people on any given Sunday.  Shocker.

I went on a fantastic first date with a really nice guy, which ultimately amounted to nothing.  Story of my life.  But really, it was a pretty awesome first date.

I have another date tomorrow night, and this one involves a motorcycle, so naturally, I am reall really excited about it, even if it doesn't go anywhere, I get to meet a nice motorcycle....I mean guy.

DeLayna and I have planned a couple hiking/camping trips for this summer, and I'm pretty stoked about them.

I have plans for Memorial Day, which will not be revealed here, just in case, but it should be good.

Hasta la vista baby!

Things don't always turn out the way you'd like

My recent move hasn't been the easiest thing for me.
Which is probably why I haven't really blogged about it much.

But things are finally coming together and looking good, I finally rectified my lack-of-bed predicament yesterday by finding a bed frame and box spring.  The box spring ended up being about 6inches longer than I needed it to be, so I had to rearrange all the furniture in my room in order to make it work, but I prevailed, and it looks fantastic! (If I do say so myself, which apparently, I do).

Now we just need to have a House-Warming Party, and we'll be set!
