Date 4: Leon and I met at a great mini-whole foods. The fresh food and brilliant displays made me long for a fat-wallet to nourish my body with such amazing ingredients. And the sweets!!! However, Leon felt a bit squished in the small sitting area so we went looking for another place. My mind however, could not leave the thoughts of such yumminess behind and we ended up at the real whole-foods. Leon comes from Britain seven years ago and has the accent to prove it. This always makes someone more interesting to listen to. He is an artist and has a passion for photography. He understands that a picture of people must capture a memory and a feeling to be good. He works at the falls and has great visions for where the company could go. When he smiles it lights up his face.
It was just ... well ... he seems to not feel so comfortable with eye-contact and instead rested his eyes around my chest area. Is there anything more uncomfortable? Ya, no I don't think so. Do you say something?

Smiley date 5: Jeff was all smiles from the moment he found me. He got a little lost and walked past me twice. This man is a beautiful soul. He loves life and adventure and enjoying little things. He just returned home from Australia. He would have moved there permanently but came home for his family. He teaches at a couple colleges here and is the teacher that every student loves and wants to be friends with. He writes his own music and plays a pile of instruments, but he did not burn me at the stake for liking the music I like. Dave and Chris he even likes our girl Avril : )
He walked me to my street, and I shared my poka-dot umbrella. A very beautiful man and a lovely date!

The emotions are all over the place about this whole thing still. I know, I know T ... your voice echoes in my head and is helping. I think that good will come of it though ... stay tuned.

Right and I had to laugh at the realization that I really do like to get what I perceive to be hard and painful things out of the way. Natalie pointed out that perhaps I should slow down a little. My response was "but I am almost done and then I don't have to date anymore". Yeahhhhh, I know that is not the right mind-set. I am working on it.
