Lol - well, I seem to be getting plenty of flack for being a floozy, and for letting some guy pick me up in a discount store (would Nordstroms have been okay with y'all?).

But- file under never ASSume - I talked to Mr. Big Lots today. I had finally sent him another text last night - no answer. Now I'm getting MAD, so I call him today, ready to read him the riot act. And the first thing he says when he hears me on the phone is "Finally! You called!"

Turns out - his friends did indeed whisk him off for the fishing weekend. And in the process of loading the truck, something got set on his iphone that ruined the screen - so he couldn't see his texts or find my phone number.

And he didn't want to just come by the house unannounced (sounds like maybe he was worried he might find me with another date??) although he said if he hadn't heard from me by tomorrow he was planning to come by and drop off a card.

All very appropriate and plausible and it just points out to me, how skittish I am, ready to believe the worst.
