Dear Diary,
It was yet another busy day today in the life of this single girl. But a good one. Today we celebrated the State Opening of Parliament with the 2nd grade classes. Although my voice is tired, the rest went off without a hitch.
And as for my log assignment, I'd have to say that I came close to adding to the numbers today. Even twice. I think that a lot of times, I shut guys down before they even approach. It's not intentional, it's that painfully shy girl living inside of me. I have a tendency to avoid eye contact, to avoid "appearing" interested. I think that as a Christian girl, you grow up sensitive to issues as to whether or not that guy is already attached. Married or not, he may have someone and it's hard to know. And I don't want to even have the appearance of "hitting on" some other girl's guy. I know that sounds like a cop out, but I really wonder how it's done. The older I've gotten, the worse I've gotten at flirting.
But the two gentlemen tonight, I made an effort to glance and smile and hold eye contact. Both gentlemen were at Macy's. One was working (and therefore didn't have an abundance of time to stop and chat) and the other was walking from his truck past my car, which I had already climbed into. And Mom was a stone's throw away. Is he going to approach a girl already buckled in with her mom watching from across the row? Doubtful. So although it showed promise, there are still zero men in the log this week.
Luckily there are just 2 more days until the Cincinnati weekend.
But before that even, there's tomorrow...
