I’ve been MIA for quite some time but I had a good reason for it.

Just before I left for my vacation to New York I started talking to a guy who I met on Match.com, Dr. Chicago. We finally met the week before Thanksgiving. He drove here to meet me and we went out to dinner. The place I chose was one of the newer steak restaurants in the city. I knew it was expensive but I didn’t know quite how expensive so before we even ordered I let him know I was paying for my own dinner. He said no, of course, but I insisted. I just wasn’t comfortable having some guy I didn’t really know pay that much for my dinner after he drove all the way here to meet me. He did thank me. The dinner and conversation went great so we continued back to my place after eating. My roommate was up watching Nip/Tuck, one of our favorite shows, when we walked in. Without hesitation he started talking to her and all was great. My roommate was very impressed saying, “He’s nice…and good looking.” Yes, he is both those things I was impressed myself. Heck, I still am impressed when I see him. The night quickly flew by so I told him to stay rather then drive back home. It was too long of a drive to make at that time of night. I told him he could sleep on my couch. Then I said that wouldn’t make me a very nice host so he could have my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch. We both ended up sleeping in the bed.

That’s right I’m off to the Big Apple yet I’m still blogging. I have a lot to catch you all up on like my follow up date with the GeoGeek/Pizza Guy. Yeah, he sucks. It was the longest 2 hour dinner of my life. Let me take you back…

Saturday was my show and then afterwards was a birthday party my friends and family were all in cahoots about. It was a big surprise for me but I wanted it that way. In fact every time someone asked me what I was doing for my birthday I told them I don’t know, my girl friends are taking me out, if you know anything don’t tell me. I didn’t want the surprise to be ruined. Where’s the fun in that?

So, after the party they all put together successfully for me we went to the bar. I ended up closing the bar with two of my sisters. They are not used to hitting up the town…any tow…so this was a big treat for them. They were not ready to go home until someone made them. Before the lights came on and we were forced to leave my sisters did manage to get me to willingly give my number to a couple guys as well as take down numbers of other eligible men. In hindsight I think we were drinking too much to make good decisions but it was never-the-less impressive.

Sunday came quickly. Both my sisters left my place pretty early after sleeping off the night before. I stayed in bed for a long time waiting for the illness that luckily didn’t come. I finally crawled out of bed and headed up towards my parent’s house.

I got a phone call from GeoGeek. He asked me to dinner and I agreed. He asked if I had a favorite restaurant. I told him I didn’t and that I was leaving the restaurant up to him. **I figured I chose the first restaurant for lunch on Thursday…it’s his turn.** I hurried and got everything together so I could head back home in time to get ready for my dinner date.

The time came, he was outside. I went downstairs to meet him at his car. Where the F is he? No, seriously. Where the FUCK is he? I called him. “Where are you?” He could hardly tell me where he was but he didn’t think it would be right since he was outside a dorm.

**Then don’t tell me you’re here f-er.** “Well, which corner are you on?” I knew he was at the right intersection just not the right corner. He couldn’t explain it to me. After about 15 minutes of back and forth trying to figure out where the F he was he finally got to my place.

I got in the car. “So, I’m not that good with picking out restaurants. I wrote a few down. Here they are.”

He tells me which ones.

“Never been. NO. Never been.”

We drove past one of the places. Closed. I don’t remember why but the 3rd place was also ruled out. Ok, now we need to find another place. Easy. Right? It’s a pretty big city. He continues to drive with no destination in mind. I know I was snotty but I said, “Um, why don’t we just pull over and figure out where we’re going instead of driving in circles.” I was irritated though…with good cause. He had one simple thing to do…find a place to eat. Why didn’t he go online or call about hours or something. C’mon.

We settled on a sort of mexican fusion like place. I had never been but had heard good things from a friend in the past. It was ok. Not great. Even the date wasn’t absolutely horrible until the bill was delivered and the man wouldn’t stop talking. It was so bad that our waitress actually came to our table to asked us to pay our bill because we were the last of her tables for the evening and they were getting ready to close. Honestly, the bill sat on the table for over an hour. It was the longest hour of my life.

I knew he was going to try to kiss me when he dropped me off. I wish I could have walked home to have avoided that situation. He leaned in…I kissed him quick. Just a peck a split second long. He pulled back. Smiled a little then leaned in again. I did the same then said, “thanks for dinner. I need to get home.” He said something about doing it again. I looked him in the eye and said email me. He hasn’t. I hope he realized that date sucked and there most definitely will not be another. UGH!

I just realized it has been weeks since I’ve posted.  I’ve been so busy getting ready for a show this weekend that I haven’t had time to do anything but that.  After Sunday I promise I’ll be back with more stories.  I do have a few to share.  I’ve been on a lunch date, I’ve set up a date that should happen soon, plus a few other fun things.  Stay tuned.  I’ll be back soon.

I took time off from writing, not because I didn’t want to write but because I was having a hard time focusing on anything but one thing.  **And this is where it gets a bit more personal than I have ever been before.**  Yes, I was very excited to see the Old Man a couple weeks ago but the aftermath was a lot for even me to deal with.  This time it wasn’t because I’m in love with a man who will never feel the same about me.  Nope, not this time.  This time I realized I had made a very bad mistake with my cycle…and having sex…and…well, you know the rest.  

The Old Man emailed me the later that day after I left his house.  “So, do you feel pregnant yet?  I always worry about that.”  I didn’t think much of it but after a random comment like that I started tracking the calendar and I started to freak out, of course.  **Understatement of the century!**  The timing couldn’t have been much worse.  **SHIT!**  Then I took a few deep breaths and thought about it.  It would be ok.  I could do it.  I’m almost 30, fuck, why couldn’t I do it.  Even though all these thoughts were running through my head, I remained calm and told the Old Man there was NOTHING to worry about.

Ok. I’m back! After several issues with my computer, then internet connection, to many long hours at the office, a promotion at work, and deadlines, I am back! Don’t think that just because I haven’t been writing lately nothing has been happening in my life. Oh, quite the opposite. One statement can sum up my week. Here’s to only sleeping in my own bed once this week. Alright, now you need the explanation. Right? Here goes.
