Quiet weekend with D8...I'll probably catch a movie with her tonight...she has no school tommorow so she will spend a good part of the day with my parents (thank God for my parents) while I pretend to do some work. On the work front, I noticed that quite a few people have been struggling with concentration and or motivation and I am no different....problem is that even though I am improving on the detaching front, my motivation at work has not followed....perhaps i need a change of scenery. I would love to drop the bomb on my present employer and start fresh in 2009. I am very encouraged by some folks who have been struggling and seem to be turning the corner with the help of some outside influences (aka new interests). Maybe that is what Michelle means by GAL.... My cousin's wife wants me to go out for supper with them and a high school teacher.....I asked my cousin to check her out today (girls are going over...maybe they are watching NFL...who knows) and report back on wether we should proceed. I am also going to setup a little date (wow that sounds weird) with a lady I bumped into. She is from the same ethnic background as I am and looks pretty nice....although she seems (from our phone conversations) to have held a grudge from her divorce. I am sure I can snap her out of it with the degree i earned being around here for so long. I'll call her IL40 (italian lady) for further reference. So...I am not in M's league or Kerry's for that matter (even gypsy is ahead of me) but perhaps at this time next week I'll have something nice to report on the human warmth side...(no no Gypsy no nudge nudge....don't get me started).
So..., "nothing like a shoe from you country even with holes in it"? (Greek proverb meaning it's always better to choose people with the same background, nationality etc, I dont agree but it does make sense in a way...). I bet your parents would love you to date an IL. I hope the cousin report is positive. I am sure when you find someone to feel relatively comfortable with, that will get you on the right track... Sorry I havent been around, busy with trees, H and kids... K
Here's a thought. Buy that thong.. the more you mention the furry one, the neater it sounds. Wear it. Feel the difference. Get over both sets of cheeks blushing and give it a try!
Gypsy's crystal ball says... don't even go near the lady with a grudge. The night will be all about her divorce, pain and ick.. yadda yadda.. That's not a date.. it's a marathon. Only you can decide the.. err.. benefits.
It's also piping up... that you be the judge of who's interesting. The great thing about being more experienced is knowing that perfection is not always the best indicator on what is most enduring or interesting. Within five minutes or less of talking to someone.. you know if it's worth continuing. But only you can make that assessment.
Oh.. yes.. and thanks for the props... So...I am not in M's league or Kerry's for that matter (even gypsy is ahead of me).. Thanks.. I think.
You're great.. rovente ragazzo..
*hugs*
Ohh yes.. and one more thing my grandma tossing friend said was about how much women change after they turn 40... that they know more of what they want, have expectations. I asked him if that might be a reason why some older guys look for women so much younger (as in it's not as complicated). Hmmmmm...
Good luck on the warmth/comfort front. I am hoping that eventually I will be ready for that myself--ok I am ready now I just still want to receive it from H.
Hey BBJ....very impressive with that Gianni stuff....I don't know if i am ready but there is only one way to find out ;-)
Gypsy...you took me by surprise with your flirtatious evening...i did not mean anything negative by even Gypsy...I don't know what you look like but with a personality like yours, I am surprised the guys weren't tripping over themselves to help you keep warm! I am not closing the door on anybody....maybe the person did not get a chance to vent or have the support group we have here. I will make it a point to take the conversation to a happy place and the future rather than the negative past...especially if the benefits are er.......interesting! One thing for sure, I am going to make it perfectly clear that this is very new for me and they may have to be a little more "obvious" than usual...............
I was just teasing you.. I know you didn't mean anything negative! *hugs*
Do you have expectations and intentions? Does lil john want a warm place to burrow or is Giovanni more interested conversation? What do you want.. need?
Saying this is very new to you is like putting a bloody hand in shark infested waters. Dang.. there I go again.. telling folks what to do.
Find your way.. John.. and listen to that voice within.
