Life As I Know It

FORGIVE ME!  It’s been way too long since my last blog entry! I fear this summer time schedule will keep me from my beloved blogging more so than usual, between work, Emilee, ShaNaNa, drinking time, pool time, trying to get a tan time, meeting a nice man time, when is a girl supposed to blog?  ;)

Let’s see, some updates for you.  I’ve not officially told McP that we are done yet.  He must suspect something is up, because I came home from work the other day (ironically, this was on his birthday as well) to find these waiting for me at my door:

Roses

He sent me three dozen roses.  THREE dozen.  On HIS birthday.  *Sigh*  You know I’m a sucker for flowers, yet …  I couldn’t do it at that point, it was his birthday!  I’m working on it, however.

This past Thursday night ShaNaNa and I went out to drink our dinner, have some dinner.  We ate our meal and hell, we were at a pub, let’s have a few beers.  We were sitting and having one of our in depth conversations that we do about sex, when a man at the bar turns around and says, “How are you ladies doing?”  I smile, cuz ya know, he’s cute and we eventually invite him to sit down with us.  It became quite apparent to me that this man has had … how to put this … a very easy time in dating women.  He’s built, good-looking, has a good job, nice smile, sense of humor.  There were women texting him as he sat and had some laughs with us, and soon he made it apparent (he touched me more than Emilee does in a day) that he was interested in me.  Now I won’t lie, I was interested in him as well but … his arrogance preceded him.  And I find that quite unattractive in a man.  So I smiled, let him touch me and flirted back.

Now at one, he opened his mouth to say something and his gum fell out, landed on the sleeve of his white Polo shirt, and I’m not so sure he realized it landed ON his shirt.  I think he thought it just fell to the floor so he kept on talking, all the while the green gum sitting on the shoulder of his white shirt, just looking so stupidly out of place that I immediately looked over at ShaNaNa to see her staring at it with that look on her face that recognize.  The “Laughter is Coming Shortly” look, and I look back to see the gum still sitting there, so I said to him, “DUDE.  How do you just keep going, keep on talkin’ when you damn well KNOW gum fell out of your mouth?”

Shan busted out laughing, so did I, so did the dude in the wheelchair that had joined our table.  Which come to think of it was a ya know, high pub table and he was so … low!  We kept leaning down to talk to him, and now that I think of what shirts we were wearing I understand.  So never mind that.

Bob the Chipmunk is still living under our porch, I must try to get some pictures of him.  This is, also, much to Emilee’s delight and not mine.  He ran into the garage AGAIN yesterday when I was putting some air in the tires of our bicycles, but this time?  He saw me.  I know he saw me.  He stopped, stared at me for a minute, and ran at me, yet AGAIN.  I screamed and dropped everything and ran by him while he ran around the garage again for a few minutes.  My neighbor heard my screech and came down to see what the issue was.  I told her of Bob and she laughed, so for a while both of us had brooms trying to get the little shit out of the garage.  He finally ran out.  Ugh.  I swear he knows I’m freaked out by him.

I’ve not commented much on blogs as of late, so I’m off to comment bomb all of you!

    Too funny about the gum. But – you say he has no problem dating and he’s arrogant, etc. How do you know all that? I once met a woman in a Santa Barbara bar. I liked her instantly, and I charmed the pants off her because I was totally into her. But she played majorly hard to get. When I went to the bathroom, she told my buddy that she was just messing with me because she figured I was so charming and such a good flirt, I could have any woman I wanted, and I probably played this game with everyone I met. Say what?! That’s so not me. My buddy didn’t tell me any of this until after we bailed.

    My point – she didn’t read me correctly, and I didn’t get to date her. Maybe you didn’t read this guy correctly.

    Then again, the gum on the sleeve is probably all you need to know.

    ROFLMAO! That is toooo funny – especially about the dude in the wheelchair being so low… lmoa! Thanks for that. So, what’s your secret?? How have you managed to keep all this weight off and still be able to drink your dinners???? Alcohol goes straight to my hips…

    Hmm…were you wearing the same shirt for Bob the Chipmunk than for the wheelchair guy? Still haven’t smooched him yet, huh?

    I had chipmunks a couple of years ago that ravaged my daylillies. Someone told me you can get humane traps at Home Depot. Problem is you have to let him go something like 5 miles from your house or else he’ll come back. I wasn’t too keen on having a chipmunk in my car, trap or no trap. For me, I found the neighborhood cat one morning camped out on my back porch – with mixed feelings, a week’s visit is all it took.

    I love that you said something to the guy about his gum! Maybe it knocked him down a notch. Haha.

    Re: The Roses

    Well, you’re screwed. He’s into you. And now you’re going to have to care about his feelings when I dump him for you. Don’t worry; I’ll be sure to thank him for the flowers.

    Re: The Gum Guy

    I don’t understand how anyone could pretend like nothing happened when gum had just fallen out of his mouth. Of course, that’s all moot. As soon as you realized he can’t chew gum and talk at the same time, his oral failures were so readily apparent, not much would matter after that.

    Re: The Chipmunk

    You’re doing this all wrong. Start putting out food until the chipmunk relies upon it and bangs on your patio door when hungry. :P

    -R.

    Alicia – I have no secret, but I can simply just not eat for days at a time! This is healthy no matter what anyone tells you, I promise. Just make sure you drink some water so you don’t pass out while driving or anything. ;)

    DH – Trust me when I say this dude was arrogant. He was very very VERY sure of this fact – Himself.

    RandomEsq –

    Re: The Roses

    DO IT SOON! I can’t stand this anymore!

    Re: The Gum Guy

    Agreed 100%. Although he had a nice V.

    Re: The Chipmunk (Bob)

    What you really wanted to say, of course, is try to take pictures of Bob’s genitalia.

    *Blink*

    Dude.

    *points to heart*

    You hurt me. You hurt me right here.

    Where my feelings live.

    I just want to sit back and watch. No comments here.

    I heart the RE and QT show.

  9. Amira Says:

    Ditto T’s comment. :D

    Well, except for the gum dude–arrogance that blends blissfully with ignorance totally DESERVES mockery by the Benevolent QT.

    And Bob has your #, QT. It’s milking this fear and screeching thing for ALLLLLLLLL it’s worth.
