No wonder I am exhausted...

I felt like skydiving at Skydive Virginia needed its own post, but actually the entire past week and a half has been insanely busy. Last week I had four dates in 5 days. Last Monday I went bowling with Bachelor #4, which was a lot of fun. I am happy if I break 100, and I bowled two good games. The first game I bowled a 108 and the second a 137! Woo hoo!

Wednesday I met a new guy for coffee, Bachelor #5, but there won't be a second date with him. I had Indian food for dinner with Bachelor #6 Thursday night... a very nice lad who I wouldn't mind meeting again. And Friday night I hosted a BBQ at our apartment complex with Rachel and Jason. We made kabobs, and I honestly never knew how much work it is to have a BBQ! Lots of preparation, and unfortunately the pits along the fitness trail were kind of far away, so we ended up making two car trips to drive everything over. Jason manned the grill. There was a good turn out: 9 people in all, including Bachelor #1, who I had invited. Also a good friend from Peace Corps was in town from Minnesota with his wife, who I met for the first time.

And yesterday I ran the Capitol Hill Classic, my first 10k (6.2 mile) race with Rachel and Jason. We ran through a good chunk of Washington, DC, running along the perimeter of RFK Stadium and ending up near the Capitol. It was the farthest I have ever run, so I was very proud of myself. My legs are really sore today, though!

I went down to the lobby yesterday to pick up a DHL package that had arrived Saturday. I was so exhausted by the time I returned from skydiving, I just figured I would pick it up on Sunday. I assumed it was the last delivery of my Wine of the Month subscription I got for Christmas from my dad. So after the race, I went down only to discover that I had received flowers. I was puzzled... who would be sending me flowers?! After opening the box and tearing open the card, I saw that they are from Bachelor #1. They were very beautiful: iris and yellow roses. It was a very nice gesture, but I find the card and flowers a bit intimidating. The card read: "[My Name], Today marks exactly one month to the day that I first laid eyes upon you. Happy one month anniversary. I hoped that there are many many more that awaits us. [Bachelor #1's Name]" Okay, that really freaked me out. I had not been keeping track of the date I first met any of the Match.com people, and I would certainly not consider us a couple. I need to send him an e-mail explaining that I am not looking for anything too serious.
