I am the HUNTED PREY : Danielle’s Chronicles

[Northern Star Girl]

NEWS to report:
The baby shower I attended was terrific... perhaps a total of 8 of us... my dental hygienist #4 was their too.... lots of fun.... women have so many good times with things like this. One of the ladies there that I had never met before but heard about me from some of the other ladies there asked me if I had kids... and what does my husband do. Once she found out that I did not have any kids, she asked if  my husband and I ever wanted kids .... and then she went on talking about some women have difficulty getting pregnant... #4 was sitting next to me and almost choked on a piece of cake she was eating....., then the lady talked about birth control and stuff like that... ladies sure talk about different stuff than guys... LOL   .... it was indeed a nice experience to go to a baby shower as a single woman that is 38 years old and has never been pregnant.

Well, here is the new NEWS, #4 invited me to go out to dinner with her on Monday night after we both get off work.  She asked me if I liked Chinese food... of course I do, I eaten there before.... but eating with chop sticks is beyond my pay grade... but they will always give me a fork and a spoon.   
Also I got a text when I later got home from my very first male Suitor #1 telling me he missed me at the coffee shop this morning and noticed my business was closed today....  he is wanting me to go to dinner with him on Monday night.  I told him that I already had plans for Monday night and then he stumbled and stuttered for a moment and asked about later in the week....  I told him yes, and he said that he will call me to confirm the day. Lots going on this week for sure.

So I look my best for my dinner dates,  I am planning to go to my hairdresser at lunch time on Monday and and get my hair trimmed.  I don't want it to look like it did in my gym picture!!!  LOL.

At the shower today I ate too much cake, cookies and ice cream so for dinner I am just fixed a small salad for dinner...  I like to have everything on my salad... lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, celery and of course some dill pickles to satisfy my salt cravings.


It sure was nice to have a Saturday day off just to do fun stuff instead of being a slave at my workplace. 

I will report some more as the NEWS breaks.
Hugs, Danielle

You are certainly right that women talk about different things than men!  Your description of the conversation at the shower made me laugh. 

Your calendar is filling up.  Make sure you keep track!!

So nice to here you had a great time at the baby shower. Interesting conversation with the lady that hadn't met you before.

It looks as though your suitors have some competition going on. #1 and #4 seem to be leading the race for your heart. #4 seems to be slightly ahead.  #3 is still in the race but will need to up his game to win this lady's heart. #2 was a non starter and doesn't need to be spoken about any more.

Enjoy your dinner on Monday, and later in the week.

I love reading your updates.

Sounds like a fun day! I know what you mean about groups of women vs. men. I never much enjoyed the talk in the male world. I tended to find myself in female groups both at work and socially.

Seeing your diner plate loaded with veggies, I need to motivate myself to stay away from so many carbs! I am a vegetarian so I eat lots of veggies.

Looks like your coming week should be very interesting! Enjoy tomorrow!  I assume it is a day off. Hugs, Kelly

@davina61    Davina Martina, don't you just love to hear your official name now?? 
Thanks for posting your "sweaty" pic here.   So many times we want to show pictures of ourselves at our best, but hey, when we have things to do, we sweat and look disheveled just like everyone else... kind of a reality check.

I am asking my readers to post their "sweaty" pics if you feel comfortable doing that.   If I get enough of them I will post a Montage here... of course, with your permission.

Hugs,
Danielle

Great, now I have the Flashdance intro in my mind. We should plan a re-enactment (OK, I only do MIG, hope that still counts)

Okeedokee....I just read this thread from beginning to now, top to bottom and I love it! My heart literally skipped a beat when I read the inside of that card. Danielle, your life is like my best-case scenario end-game for my transition - and your constant positivity is amazing and inspiring. I want to be you when I grow up! I will keep reading and I hope this thread continues for a long, long time to come.

Best wishes from Denver,

Alyssa

Danielle, you have such a positive outlook on life that you almost make me want to go for a run just to take a sweaty selfie, but nope, I can't do it, sorry. I can't have my first pic here be a sweaty one. [emoji12]

What a fun idea! feel free to use the one out of my Sarah's World thread for your Montage. Thanks for all your positivity!

Well that leaves me out. I sometimes sweat after a shower but you are not getting a picture of me then.

Well I guess I can give this photo thing a go. I will be going out for a run sometime this week, if for no other reason than to loose myself in thought. I will try to remember to get a selfie at the end. I am terrible at those, but what the heck!

Hope y'all have a great start to your week! Enjoy your dinner tomorrow night! How exciting!

If I had read this yesterday I could have put one up.  I scrubbed two bathrooms and a kitchen, including floors and then cut the grass after supper.  I'm still tired.

Drat, I should have gotten a picture of me yesterday, after shovelling and raking a cubic yard of class A gravel on our driveway.  Oh well, there's more where that came from.

[Maddie86]

yay! i FINALLY made it through this whole thread!!

All of these crushes are very exciting! I smiled while reading so many of these posts! I'm sorry about your bad day last week but I'm glad that things got better!

You're a great person Danielle, and I feel like I got to know you a little better by reading this thread, I'm happy that you started it!

Good news and bad news.  The bad news is that I did another 2 hours of raking gravel on the driveway.  The good news is that I got a "hot & sweaty" picture of me.

@KathyLauren ....   well sweaty or not, you look pretty nice on that pic... with your permission it will end up on my picture montage if and when I do it.... meanwhile, give me some photo choices in the near furture.
Thanks for your post and for your "sweaty" picture.

  Sheeesh! Some people are never satisfied!  Right, @KathyLauren ?  Give them an inch and they want a mile.
  She wants one of me after I get out of the shower!!

  Yes I'm kidding @Alaskan Danielle
