Amazing week

I had my hands full this week. My watched my niece a few days at my apartment. I took her outside and she freaked when the neighbor kids came by to pet the cats. She does not handle strangers well, but how do you explain to a kid that the reason she is crying is because the kid is just too friendly. I took her swimming and she hated the kids splashing her when they jumped in. I took her to the zoo and rode the camel ride, rode the train, and fed the goats, fish, and ducks. I bought her a penguin and some rocks. I bought her sunglasses since my sister forgot to pack them but they disappeared after feeding the animals. I guess she laid them down to feed them in the shade and someone took off with them. She was not ready to go home when her father came to pick her up.

Next I asked my current love interest if it was alright to introduce him to my parents and any familiar faces I might meet at my hometown's 4th of July celebration "my boyfriend". More or less from lack of a better word, I mean what else would I call him? Suddenly he is excited we are getting serious, wants to get a cheap promise ring for me as a sign of our commitment to each other, sends me 2 dozen red roses with a card confessing his undying love to me, and reveals his sexual fantasies for our wedding night. Whoa, boy. He seems ready to dive head first without checking the pool depth. He has no clue what jewlery costs and he wants to commit to buying a promise ring. For starters, I just started calling him my boyfriend so, no, we are not serious, just dating still and secondly, I don't do cheap jewelry cause it itches. I need expensive 14K gold or better, which is why I don't have much jewelry. I did love the roses and like him a lot, but I don't see us married in the future as he does. I may be his very first couple experience and crazy about me, but he is not my first love and I'm still unsure about him. He thinks we lots in common, but I see someone agreeing with me out of fear of losing me which is a quality I do not value. I have trouble finding something about him to fall in love with. I just keep him around from lack of anything better to do. Post later. Bye!
