She's back!

I told Lass that my chickening out had gotten out of hand and if I could just do one thing, maybe I'd break its hold on me. Sure enough, it was true!

I went to a sports bar in New Braunfels to watch the Cowboys play and although I was a little nervous going in, once I sat down it wasn't bad at all. It was a nice atmosphere, not too crowded, super friendly service. It was freezing cold in there, but an old guy came over and started talking to me, so I mentioned how cold I was and he loaned me his jacket.

I've been volunteering at the public library and when I was there last week, I talked with the cute guy who works the circ desk. This week when I came in, he was busy with a patron so I went straight to the back and started working. When he finished with that patron, he found me in back to talk to me. We talked several times during my shift, one of those times being about chess wherein I told him that I don't know how to play. As I was leaving, he said, "So when do you want to learn chess?" Smooth. Heehee. I gave him my number. He asked if I ever go to the coffee shop down the street, I said yes, he said he'd call. So exciting!

Today a co-worker suggested we go out for a drink after work (just as friends). He started a week after I did, so we've gotten to chat some during orientations and such. It was a nice way to start the weekend.

Tomorrow is breakfast (by myself, because I'm not scared anymore!) movies and shopping (because I'm not poor anymore), bank business (again, not poor), and cleaning (because I'm still a slob, lol). Sunday is church, Columbo, and a nap.
