First, A Bird Shit On Me This Morning

That’s right.  As I was walking to work this morning a bird shit right on me.  Luckily, it landed on my jacket and not my hair or anything else.  I knew I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed this morning.  Now my day has turned even worse. 

Kat, fine.  I lied.  I can pretend to be ok with everything going on in my life but it’s just a front but you already knew that.  Even though we haven’t known each other for very long your intuition is right on.  I’m not fine with my ‘relationship’ with the Old Man.  I want him in my life.  I love being with him but I know these feelings are foolish so I try to suppress them.  Well, tonight he’s meeting his ex for dinner.  How much do you want to bet that once again, they will get back together?  Ugh!  Then to top it off, I tried to distract myself by checking up on some other friend’s blogs.  DD, I love you, hun, and I am so happy for you but right now, your new pregnancy is yet another reminder of what I don’t have.  I’m sad.

 

New Yumminess!

Ok, I’ve already spilled the beans about the new guy I’m talking to, Chi-boy.  Chi, pronounced Shy, as in Chi-town or Chicago.  That’s right.  He lives in Chicago.

This is an interesting story.  I started up a profile on MySpace and of course my University put me up on the Alumni New Faces page for about 2 weeks.  That’s where this guy found me.  He contacted me and although he looked familiar (from school) I couldn’t place the rest of the context in which I knew him.  I even emailed one of my girl friends to ask her how I might know him.  (Thanks for nothing Sunny.)  She never responded. 

Chi-boy and I have been talking for several months now but not about anything.  He’s been asking me to visit him for a long time but I blew it off as just banter.  Well, it continued and I finally made tentative plans to see him but they ended up falling through.  **Actually I didn’t really try to get it all together.  I still thought he was joking.**  He pushed the subject a bit more so I finally gave in.  I’m going to Chicago this weekend to see him.  **Realize that I still haven’t figured out how I actually know this guy.  All I know is that he looks familiar.**  With plans pretty well set we started talking more which is good.  Maybe I’ll finally figure out how I know this guy.

 

The Alleged Woman

Mother Nature, with all due respect, what a bitch?  Her timing couldn’t be much worse.

Friday, I was emailing the Old Man at work. Nothing big just chatting. Then out of the blue, “Do you have plans for Sunday?”
With a big grin on my face I typed back, “Not yet. Should I?”
The Old Man responded, “I think your time on Sunday would be best spent with me.”

I agreed and we set up a plan. I was to be to his house around 6. We would go out to dinner…a nice dinner. Then we would get back to his house around 8 when I could watch my show, Desperate Housewives, before crawling into bed for the night. It sounded wonderful to me. A nice long night with the Old Man, cuddling, kissing, and… It would be great. I was so excited to finally have plans to see him again. Plans that I knew would not be broken this time, then it happened.

 

Karma is Laughing at Me

I should have known the day wasn’t going to go very well but I was deceived by the way it started out.  Yesterday, I woke with more energy than I had for the last 2 weeks.  Did my typical shower and get ready.  I must say, I was even having a good hair day.  This was going to be good.  I walk about a mile to work everyday which means that I cross 10 intersections on my way.  I caught every walk signal.  **That NEVER happens.**  I made it to work in a timely fashion and walked into the coffee shop in my office building.  YES!  My favorite coffee guy was working, Jimmy.  He’s a silly man that is so friendly.  I really enjoy seeing him before a long day at work AND he makes great latte’s.  Again, WONDERFUL!  I didn’t put any makeup on yesterday because I knew I needed to get my brows waxed for my big date.  Right before lunch I went to the spa next door to see if they had any openings.  They took me right away.  This is amazing.  Right? 

I got back to my desk and was hard at work again and that was when it happened.  The phone rang.  It was Sports Guy to finalize our plans for the evening.  You guessed it.  Another date cancelled on me.  What the fuck?  First the Old Man cancels on Tuesday and now this.  **ARGH!!!!!**  I feel bad being upset about it because it really was out of his hands. Work had called him in since the other sportscaster was stuck out of state. Since he is the new guy, he couldn’t say no. At least I knew he wasn’t lying to me. I made sure to turn on the news. At least I could see him…and know that he wasn’t just trying to get out of the date. After that the work day got horrible.  Things weren’t printing properly and everything was taking 10 times as long as I thought it should.  At 4 I could no longer focus on the computer screen.  My eyes were hurting so badly and I was getting tennis elbow from typing and using the mouse.  This was not good. 

As I said, I should have known better.  Things were falling into place WAY too well.  Karma was laughing.  I should never make plans for dates while chatting with someone else.  I know better.  One guy at a time.  But that’s so not fun! 

I suppose it was actually a blessing. I got a lot done last night and I even had time to talk to Blue Eyes. We talked for about 3 hours. It was good. I think I could actually like this boy… A LOT! We toyed with the idea of meeting last night but since it was after midnight I decided it wasn’t a good idea. It would just lead to trouble. **See I can be good when I want to be.**

Of course I was bad after that. But that story is best left for another time. Sorry! 

I hope meeting Blue Eyes tomorrow goes well **and he doesn’t cancel on me too** because quite honestly juggling all these guys is exhausting. I hope I fall head over heels for him so I don’t have to worry about these other boys. Of course I’m not expecting that but one can hope right?
