Bacon, Nicknames and Other Randomness

1) Dudes. I love bacon. What I love about you guys knowing I love bacon? All the bacon things you send me. Bacon stamps, bacon pictures, bacon band aids, bacon vodka, bacon-flavored dental floss, bacon festivals … and I could go on. I love when ShaNaNa stops at the butcher place by her house just to bring me the delicious bacon. I love when The Boyfriend eats the last piece of bacon and grins at me. I love that I save all of my bacon grease and contemplate on things I can cook with it.  LIKE POPCORN!!

2) Okay. So! I’ve not yet found the perfect nickname for DJBlueEyes. I haven’t had that AH HA moment, the one where I jump around cuz it’s the most perfect nickname ever. So for now, I’m using The Boyfriend.

3) So over the Christmas break, The Boyfriend took me to this fancy place for dinner. We were up on the 16th floor where I had the  most lovely view of downtown, which I was admiring until my martini was placed in front of me by our server. I stared at my drink. It was even MORE lovely than the view of downtown, with the dry ice underneath bubbling smoke up to keep it cool. I almost got teary at the absolutely PERFECT drink this was.  So, for your viewing pleasure … check out, MY MARTINI:

Not only was it awesome to look at, it was even better to drink. And DRY ICE.  How freaking cool is that?

4) Miss Emilee, over Christmas break, lost her second front tooth.  She now is completely toothless where her top two teeth are.  LOVE IT.  LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. I realized however, her adult teeth are coming in so I asked her to open wide so I could look.

As I was bending down to peer in her mouth, she burped. A big burp. With my face like kinda somewhat close to her mouth.

I stared at her with a pissed off look, as I was grossed out.

She tried not to laugh and said, “I love you mommy,” in the most wonderful voice she could possibly ever come up with.

*Sigh*

Stuff of the Random Sort

1) This morning, after dropping Em off at school, I stopped to get some gasoline.  It was fricken cold this morning, and I hate getting gas when it’s cold out, but alas, my gas gauge was in the E position with 7 miles to go before empty.  Dammit.  So, when standing there freezing my ass off, a man walked up to me and said, “So I’ve been noticing you not noticing me.”  I had to laugh.

2) ShaNaNa and I leave for Florida in less than a week for our 2nd annual girls weekend (five days) to Florida.   WOOOOOOO!!!  Beaches and bouncing boobs, here we come!

3) Yesterday, I was working at my desk when I got an IM from Twitch.  It said the following:

“You need to move to China.”   With this link: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,562341,00.html?test=latestnews

Yeah go ahead and click on that.

I admit to staring in shock and then actually, busting out laughing.  What a tool but MAN I LOVE HIM.

4) I have a date on Saturday night with DJBlueEyes.  I’m quite excited.  He found a place that apparently serves over 185 different types of martini’s. My eyes almost bulged out of my head when I heard this, and I immediately said, “How did you find this place?!  Wait.  Just wait. More importantly?  How did I not know about this place?!”

5) I turn 37 in less than a week.  I love my 30′s.  I love my 30′s.  I love my 30′s.  I love my 30′s. I love my 30′s.

6) I’m kind of an ass sometimes.  Seriously.  DJ was very open about telling me how much he enjoys the time we spend together.  I mean, I am not so sure I’m use to a man being open about his feelings.  When he finished, I sort of had that feeling that I should say something in return.  I mean, just sitting there is not quite cool, ya know?  But I sort of had a panic moment and didn’t know WHAT to say.  But at the same time, I did have things TO say.  Ugh.  It’s like a vicious circle.  So what does QT do?

“I like the way you dress!”  QT blurts.

Mmm Hmmm.  Nice.

7) You know Wingman has lots of pictures from his weekend visit, from the reunion, from the bar outings, etc.  You catch my drift.  The funny thing is, he’s got a picture of Make Out Guy and I standing together at the bar from the one night – on FaceBook.  I really really REALLY (really) wanted to comment under it … “Look!  My boyfriend for a day!” because well, that makes me laugh.  I fear, however, that I’d be the only one laughing.

8 ) I believe I talk to my ex-husband NOW more than I ever did when we were married.

9) These are the flowers DJBlueEyes brought me for our 2nd date.  Yup, two dates.  Two sets of flowers.  Lilies.  I heart Lilies.

10) I need a new bathing suit.  *Wince* Ugh, I loathe going bathing suit shopping.

Wrenches, Date Night and Vomiting

Remember McPT?  He made contact this past week, throwing what I thought was a wrench into my theory of him being Just Not That Into Me.  Until it was glaringly obvious that he was in fact, into me …

If I was putting out.

While I can in a way, appreciate his candor, I’m not looking for a sex toy in a male variety.  I have some toys that work very well without needing a man, thank you very much.  So I politely declined his invitation and told him, “I’m Just Not That Into You.”
