Well, it’s certainly been a while
since I have blogged. He and I broke up. It happens. That’s really all I’m
going to say about it. On to the next! J
A few months ago on my facebook, I
asked for the best pick-up lines ever received to be posted. OMG! That was too
funny! Do it! Ask your friends the best worst pick-up lines. There are some
amazingly bad ones!
At the urging of a friend, I signed
up for LDSSingles.com………yeah……….I know……….yep! All of the guys on there
are………..well let’s just say not at all what I am looking for! Although, I have
seen several of my guy friends on there. LOL Not going to call anyone out….but
you know who you are! J
Last week I went to Phoenix for
Diversity and Inclusion Training. (I even got an award!! Jealous!?!?) My
friend, M, lives outside of Phoenix and we had been talking about getting
together for years! (We met several years ago on LDSLinkUp and the timing had
just never worked for us to get together.) So we scheduled a date for Wednesday
night.
Before I get into the date, let me
back up to the afternoon. We arrived in Phoenix around 12 and after having
lunch with my cousin, I went to the hotel pool to worship the AZ sun. This
small group of guys from Indiana joined me. They were there for work or golf or
something. We struck up a conversation and they invited me and my co-worker
(aka work wife) to go to the bar with them later. I declined, making the
mistake of telling them I had a date. The questions IMMEDIATELY started. Who is this guy? How do you know him? Where
does he live? What does he do? Are you going to Netflix and chill? Is he a
serial killer? How do you know he’s not? What time is he coming? REALLY!?!??
I think they felt a little better because he was picking me up at the hotel, I
think they just wanted to spy on him.
M was supposed to pick me up at 5 so
about 4:30 I went and got changed and ready. He showed up and we left. (I found
out later that he had walked through the pool area so my new friends were able
to fully check him out. They approved!) Since I had never been to Phoenix
before, I had no idea of anything to do. I was completely at M’s mercy! We had
dinner at this place called Cornish Pasty. It was actually really good! I had
no idea what a pasty was. Not too shabby for Christi! We left there and we found a mural!
Completely by accident! (If you follow me on insta, then you have seen me post
pics of murals all over Houston.) We u-turned, hopped out and snapped a few
pics. It was pretty cool!!
Then we drove over to Mesa to check
out the Mesa, AZ Temple (HELLO! MORMON!!). It was gorgeous! We got there as the
sun was setting so we were able to get some great shots of the Temple in the
reflection pool. (We even saw 2 sets of newlyweds! They were obviously GORGEOUS!
I mean have you ever seen an ugly bride? Bridesmaid dresses? Yes, but brides?
No) We took pics in the cactus garden and on a few pieces of reclaimed wood
logs on Temple grounds. We walked past the Visitors Center where we saw a few
missionaries. They gave us the once over and just let us walk by. (I guess they figured a guy and a girl modestly dressed at the Temple were on a date and were Mormon!)
Then he drove me back the hotel, walked me to my door and we hugged bye. (There was definitely no kiss as he had onions on his pasty. Come on guys! Onions = no goodnight kiss....at least not from me!) Overall it was a good, fun date. Although while driving on the freeway he was going a tad slower than the traffic (40 in a 60) but whatever. If you live in the Phoenix area and are looking for a GREAT guy to date, I know one!
So that's it. My work training wrapped up Friday afternoon and Saturday morning at 12:30am, I was back in Houston. HOME SWEET HOME!
For now, I am still kissing frogs....
