Not a whole lot to report...I have been concentrating on my work a little more. I have also been working on my social life a little bit. I have a supper date set up with a lawyer who I have been talking to for the last couple of nights. She actually turns 44 on the 26th...I know ali will get a kick out of figuring what all that means! The teacher and i have struggled to actually talk on the phone. She is 36 and has no children. i have a hunch she probably wants...which would be normal. Regardless what happens this evening I at least need to meet this lady... airline employee is still in the wings....I have a few others that I can call for a friendly date. So if nothing else, i am building a bank of women that I can talk to and be social with. D8 called last night and again this AM wondering if I could get off work to go skating with her and her school. I said I would try and I will. I used to do it every Wednesday for the last two years..(6 times a yr.). So, she has grown accustomed to it....it's the least I can do for my baby...she rarely asks for anything. Mother of my daughter called to ask for my advice regarding business...she actually gave me a preamble on how she has always valued my opinion blah blah blah.... I could not help but ask if she did not have someone else she could talk to about that (tongue in cheek). A strange silence ensued for a few seconds. Anyway, i listened and opined....She asked if I would mind if she took D8 for the whole spring break down south somewhere. i replied that I do not see D8 nearly as much as I would like to but since I am not selfish, if D8 wanted to go, then I would not object. Also, could not help but give her a little shot on her spending habits and how they had not changed. She is still doing alot of travelling. I just hope she is not planning on Mexico or I may have to object to that destination.
John, glad to hear your social life is going strong. I think it would be so nice to just have an enjoyable dinner with pleasant conversation. Glad you are making that happen for yourself.
Hope the trip is not to Mexico!
Just thinking of you, you seem to be doing well even when the stbx is still calling you...
STBX called last night with some great business news (for her). She was literally ecstatic....she tends to have high highs and low lows...I guess. Actually mentionned that I was the first person she called to share this news with.....gave her a few compliments (words of affirmation...she sucked it all in). Anyhow, I kind of spoiled the moment by asking why me....what did i do to deserve being first? I think she got a little uncomfortable and changed the subject.
I am heading out to pickup D8 soon and will try to enjoy the weekend with her. I have a late dinner date with the teacher (T36). Spoke to her last night. She could not stop laughing...I wonder if she was drunk? D8 will sleep with her grandma tonight. Actually my weekend is pretty booked; brother in law's bday and probably another date Sunday night with the lawyer. I think I am getting over my head with all this dating....and calls etc. i have not yet met someone that everything clicked for me yet.
So that is it in a nutshell...nothing too exciting....oh yes work sucks.
