May 27 - May 29, 2010
Oh so much to tell! Thursday is a whole story in itself! You'll love this!
So, I met this guy last weekend while I was out. Really attractive, great build, and extremely gentlemen-like (not to mention he's from North Carolina, which means super sexy accent). Perfect! So, we talk throughout the week, blah, blah, blah. By the time our date comes on Thursday, I'm over it. I would just like to say that out of the 135 text messages, 109 were from him. In just three days. Yeah. But I'm trying to not be judgmental, so whatever. Here's the nutshell version (still semi-long):
He picks me up in a brand new BMW! It was beautiful! I thought to myself, Heck yea! I'm going to be the babe in the passenger seat tonight of this fabulous car! We go mini-golfing at the same place Brett and I went. We had a lot of fun! We laughed, we joked, flirted, all the dating kind of stuff. However..................the man is...................just not for me. And I say man, because he's 30 years old.
We're on the 5th hole. We start talking about family and I ask if he gets to go home often. He says his families coming next week. That's so great! He says, "I can't wait until they come. I'm going to have so much fun with them.......No.......WE'RE going to have so much fun with them."
Excuse me.........what?! WE?? No. I'm not meeting the parentals after one date. What do you say to that? I just smile and walk away. Then at about the 15th hole, he tells me the last time he was here, he was with a brunette. Awesome. I don't freakin' care if you were with Giselle Bunchin. You don't tell a girl that on a first date. Really?
So, we leave and go to dinner at J. Alexander's. It's a good place! I compare it to Granite City, which I think is fabulous! He sits on the same side of the booth as me. Not bad, but again, first date. I chalked it up to the fact he was a "southern gentlemen" and maybe that's what they do down here in the south. Yea....no.
After dinner, he drops me off. We end up staying in the parking lot, talking for about an hour. When he goes to leave, his car doesn't start. LOL!!!!! I was dying laughing! He did NOT find it funny! So, we wait a bit. Nothing. Then he can't get it into neutral. Even more funny! The gear shift froze, so his car is chillin' in the middle of my parking lot. We call the BMW helpline.
He says to the lady, "My wife and I were in the car talking, then I had to leave, and now my car won't start." First off, your wife?! What?!?! That is a hell to the freakin' no, sir! Second, you tell a complete stranger you and your "wife" were outside talking, then you have to leave? My first thought, domestic dispute. Not only is a tow truck going to come, but a police officer thinking that I've been beaten or something. Fantastic.
He's pacing back and forth because he is livid! I'm standing by the car, laughing my butt off! He finally gets it in neutral, so we push the dang car. My shoes are falling off, the ground is wet, and we're trying to get this brand-new, stud-of-a-car out of the way. I pull out all my Hercules moves! I think he was impressed.
Then he invites me on a three-day trip to the Bahamas, or a nice weekend get-away to Miami at The Oriental hotel. SIRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! FIRST DATE! FIRST DATE! FIRST DATE! I'm not getting on a cruise ship with you! I don't want to end up being shark bate! As scary as that is, I don't trust him. Just things he said throughout the night. No. Long story short....the tow truck comes at 3am!!!!!
And, as we're waiting for the tow truck, my uber-hot neighbor comes outside. Go figure. Shirtless. Abs winking at me. Tan. He says hi to me, doesn't look at my date. I say hi back. Unfortunately, I'm not looking at this face because I'm too focused on a.) getting caught by my date, gawking and b.) staring him up and down. I'm sure he thinks I'm a hoochie mama. He sees me with Brett. Sees me with dad (which most people think is my boyfriend, and grosses me out a little bit), then sees me with this guy. Yea...damn.
Friday comes and I am exhausted. I clearly didn't get a ton of sleep the night before, or should I say early morning. I do receive a text from him Friday afternoon, asking if I'm coming over after work. No. What's funny though is he pulled the, "you're already perfect" line on me. Classic. Sir, I know you're kind. I dated one and the only good thing I got from that relationship is this...I know how someone like you works. I know what you're thinking, what your intentions are, and how it would end up. I am no longer able to be fooled by a smooth talker. Thanks, Dick.
Friday night, I go to the club again to promote for the Memorial Day party on Sunday! It's going to be a great time! It was pouring down rain and being an outside club, promoting wasn't that successful. But I met some great people! Socially it's getting so much better for me! I stay after I get off and hang out with a girl from work for a drink with some of her friends. It's such a fun place and the DJs are wonderful!
Saturday = Sushi, Cosmos and Sexy & the City 2! The movie is great and absolutely hysterical! You have to go see it! The fashion is incredible, the story line is pretty good, and the comedy is is so funny! It was just the right amount of over-the-top! It really made me miss New York though. I've really been having NYC withdraws lately. I don't know what it is, but my heart keeps leaning that way. I don't know what's going on, but I would like to know.
Saturday night = absolutely nothing! I went to Target and got some groceries, finally! I bought some Oreos. Enough said. I'm sitting on my couch and NOT moving! This is the first time in a couple of weeks that I don't have to think about work. I'm taking advantage while I can! I absolutely LOVE my job and I'm working really hard to become as great at it as my boss! But everyone needs a mental break from their job every once in a while. I feel like you get more accomplished when you're rested and refreshed!
Note to self: No matter what you decide to do on a Saturday night, just make sure to have fun. Whether it's going out to dinner: splurge on dessert! Or stay in: watch a killer movie! Or go drinking and dancing: make sure you're dance moves are above the rest! And read this joke for a little laughter!
Dr. Oz proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish
all the things you have started and have never finished.'
So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and
hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished
off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Tequila, a package of
Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the
cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of
chocolates. You have no idea how
freaking good I feel right now.
