Well, right now I'm listening to the Smiths and catching up on my on-line responsibilities. Don't worry, as I chose the Smiths b/c I wanted something I could sing along w/and I've been doing just that.
Ok, otherwise, I just got done shooting a commercial for VW of Canada, so if you see a guy in a nice looking grey suit on the street corner staring at the new Passat, it's me.
I had to go to work for a stupid open house this past Sunday which meant I had to give D up early to XW. I don't mind her being w/XW at all, but this was the 1st time I had to lose time w/her on "my weekend" so it was tough. I know there will be more things that will cause this type of interruption, but the 1st one is the toughest to deal with, so I'm still a bit bitter.
The interesting part is I had to contact XW (via e-mail only, mind you) about getting D early as I wanted her to have D before a sitter, and she only gave terse, short e-mail responses concerning our situation.
Then she sends a text on Sunday telling me where in the restaurant she was sitting. This came after the "inundation of texts" came about and I'm kicking myself for not asking "I thought we weren't supposed to text?"
Anyway, when I dropped off D, XW was alone and chatty. She wanted me to read a passage in a book she was reading about how men and women are different and how girls need their fathers. NO SH!T! Where was this book and logic when I was fighting for 50/50 custody?
So, I was pretty bland, not rude, but just, kind of "ok, thanks for the info" type of attitude. As I was turning to leave, I said to XW, "I'm really pissed I have to give up 5 hours w/D, but I'm glad she's w/you instead of w/a sitter" and I left. Why did I say it? Because I meant it.
On another note or two, I met a gal on a date and she knocked my socks off, so now I'm struggling w/being interested in someone again and not doing the things that will let all the air out of the tires before we even get rolling. We are looking to try to meet up this weekend when we're both off, so I'll probably call her tomorrow or Wednesday, but don't want to look too eager.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Also, ladies, what cologne would you suggest I pick up? I've not bought any in so long that I don't even know what smell to shoot for. I really need either a good female friend or a solid gay guy in my life to help me w/these things.
Work is going well and I'm enjoying teaching again after having a really rough 12 months. I am looking forward to summer as I'll be further and further out of debt and able to try and plan to do things w/my D and for myself as my money situation clears up a bit.
Ok, I think that's it (or at least what my fatigue and the 48 ounces of beer will allow me to recall at this point), so I'll fade into the sunset.
