Circus date and matchmaker

I had a fantastic time at the circus last week at American Airlines Center.  The date was wonderful - both because of the date himself and because of the novelty of being at the circus.  It probably was the best blind date I've had.  And, no matter what, I know I've made a new friend I would not have met.  He was a ton of fun - great sport, up for adventure, intelligent, fun, adorable with blue eyes...There was an adult happy hour before the actual circus, and we were able to interact with the clowns (which, in the past, seemed a little scary to me), but these clowns were awesome - funny, talented and engaging...My favorite part of the circus itself was the part with the dogs - especially the poodles - they jumped and danced and stayed completely in tune with the humans leading them.  It was awesome.

Last week, I received a call from a matchmaker in Dallas.  Her name is Sarah Norton, and she is lovely.  I met her at her home office this afternoon, and we spent some time talking about my background and preferences, and she suggested three men to me - all who want children and who want to be married.  They sound solid, loving, interesting and full of potential.  I figure there's nothing to lose and everything to gain.  I also felt great about meeting Sarah.  She ran a modeling agency for a number of years and has a wall of beautiful pictures of herself with unique and impressive individuals.  I felt a sense of peace and excitement upon entering her home.  Again, this is a person I probably would not have met outside Project Husband.

There is power in listening to ourselves - some think I'm crazy for embarking on this journey.  But the guidance to launch the project came from my inner voice - from my soul - and the journey has been incredible thus far.  I've learned that I love being in and around TV stations...the people are incredible, and I enjoy the stimulating environment.  I also love having a driver - CNN, Fox and the Dallas Bridal Show have hooked me up with cars and limos as transportation, and I'd be happy never to drive again.....

I have dates planned each night this week - with the exception of a happy hour and girls' night out Thursday night...will there be potential husbands or just boy toys?  Time will tell...

  1. Ouch. I may think you're a little... optimistic, but I still wish you luck and think you'll find someone that fits your style.

    And probably have a lot of fun in the meantime!

    Has anyone started any pools or bets yet? I want in.

  2. I heard you on the "Cocktails with Patrick show" on Serius radio today. Good luck with your quest, I see nothing wrong with what you are doing. And you are right, The guys know right where you stand and so there are no games. I will keep watching your blog just to see what happens.
