My Dating Revelations

So, I met this guy named Paul. That should have been the first clue it would never work out. I've dated too many "Pauls" already that just did not work out for various reasons. But I decided to go on a date with him because he was a nice guy and we had good talks about Bible doctrine and thought, well, I'll give it a shot.

Mistake!

Well, first of all, when he found out I have a pet rottwieler, he told me "those dogs are too dangerous. No one should have one of them". Of course I told him he was wrong and that any dog could be dangerous depending on how the dog is trained but he was insistent that rottweilers are just too dangerous to have as pets and under NO circumstances should anyone have one. (At this point I found some time to call Kristin to have her call me later to rescue me).

Later in our evening we started to talk about music. He asked what I liked and so I mentioned the Violet Burning to which he replied (very enthusiastically) "Oh! So you like CCM!"

Naturally, I was appalled and quickly let him know that The Violet Burning is hardly CCM. He again tried to tell me why I was wrong; I told him why I was right. THEN he ACTUALLY told me that their first album was their best and that they went downhill from there!

Are you kidding me???

I can understand if someone has not heard of The Violet Burning. That is not a requirement. BUY to know who they are and to actually think that CHOSEN was their best album is a COMPLETELY different story. He did not agree that the self titled and "Plastic" were obviously their best, even though PRITZL is embarrassed by Chosen.

That said it all.

(Lola agreed with me when I told her about it later)

==================

So, last night I went out to dinner with a bunch of people after 20Something. While we were waiting for our table, one of the guys noticed the diamond ring I was wearing on my right hand and asked me if I was married. I laughed at him and said "NO! It's on my right hand. This was my Grandmom's engagement ring." So, he informed me that guys do not know that. They assume that a diamond ring on a finger means married or engaged, regardless of the hand. So I laughed and said, "maybe that's why I can't get a date" and took the ring off and put it in my wallet.

When we got our table the waiter took our drink orders and Shaun swears the waiter and I were flirting and claimed it was because I was not wearing "the ring". Honestly, I was just being myself but I will let him believe what he wants.

As the rest of our party arrived, he and I informed them about what was going on with "the ring" and all of the guys agreed with Shaun! One of them actually asked if it made a difference if the girl was right or left handed!

So now, as difficult as it is, I decided not to wear my Grandmom's engagement ring. Maybe I can save it for when I become engaged and have that be my engagement ring.

Oh, and that entire night everyone at the table teased me about flirting with the waiter and everytime they needed something they made me get his attention. I really was not intentionally flirting.

Typical Tracie

Okay,
So this morning I got up very early and went down to Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia, to audition to sing the national anthem.
I was not nervous at all, at least I didn't think I was.
But then it happened....
I got up on the stage that was set up on the field, started singing and all the sudden I didn't remember the words! So I looked at the judges and said "I am so sorry! I forgot the words!" So they told me to try again, and I did, but I forgot the words again, right after "Oh Say! Can you see?" I just went completely blank. So I laughed and told the judges I would stop taking up their time and they stopped me and told me to try again until I got it. I laughed and said "I guess it can't get any worse, right?" (They just laughed with me)
Then! everyone in the stands started to cheer me on! It was so funny!!!
The 3rd time was the charm and I sang it flawlessly. One judge was so sweet because she was mouthing the words as I sang. Too funny.
My parents said they saw me on the 6:00 news. I was standing in line. The station I was watching did not show it at all! I'm going to watch at 11:00 tonight because I want to see if they highlight me, the only person to forget the words.
I was just so focused on NOT forgetting the words that I did. Too funny!! BUT!! I now have a great story. Next year, I will try again and will also try out for the Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers too!
It was such a rush standing on the field that the Eagles play on! How many times am I going to have that opportunity!
I am posting a couple pictures that I took.
The first is a view of the stands from the field. The other is a view of Citizen's Bank Park (where the Phillies play) from Lincoln Financial Field. I took that one because I liked the view of the downtown skyline in the back.

The Philadelphia Eagles

Tomorrow I am going to partake in a once in a life time opportunity and go down to Lincoln Financial Field to audition to sing the national anthem at an Eagles game this season. There are only 3 available spots but I figured, why not go for it? How often am I going to get the opportunity to sing in a football stadium??
I am excited.
