I wanted to post a bit more about yesterday. When I posted about V-Day, I was in a really good mood. Unfortunately, that changed quickly (as it will when dealing with an MLCer). However, I did turn my mood around, using what I'd just talked to Conway about--details to follow:
I had my first wine-appreciation class yesterday, but I'd told H (who was going to be with the kids) that I wasn't going to go b/c of the weather. In the end, it wasn't as bad as I thought and the kids were fighting like crazy, so I decided to go. I called H and asked him if he could babysit after all, but I understood if he'd made other plans b/c I told him I wasn't going to go. Well, lo and behold, he had indeed made other plans. On Valentine's Day. He didn't elaborate.
I said, "No problem" on the phone and he said he'd still come by "for a few seconds" b/c he had stuff for the kids.
Well, you can imagine what a great mood I was in after that! All I could think about was him going out to a romantic dinner with some ow, while I stayed home w/ bickering, over-sugared kids. I had been thinking of giving him the cold shoulder when he came over, but then I re-read what I had just written down WRT my talk w/ Conway. I thought back to when we first met, and he had a couple of other girls interested in him. Was I bitchy and jealous around him? Oh no no no...I turned on the charm. So that's what I did.
I was still wearing the red velvet, but I redid my make-up and hair, and put on perfume. Then I dug out a very funny, anti-Valentine's card to give him. I thought I wouldn't, but then decided it would be a little flirty, which is a good thing. When he got here, I was upbeat and charming, but let him open his things with the just the kids. He laughed at the card and thanked me, then made a funny face and apologized for not getting me anything! I said it was ok, as I hadn't expected anything; I just saw the card and thought it was funny. Then, he kissed me (on the cheek of course) and said "Happy V-Day." We chatted a very short while about the sex sermon series at church, which he thought was pretty cool (hey doesn't hurt for him to get sex on the brain when he's around me!). And then off the went.
As it turned out, my dad came to babysit, since my mum went to course with me. It was fun, BTW, and I'm glad I wasn't sitting at home thinking about H w/ another woman (if that's even what he was doing).
I did a lot of flirting with H early in this sitch, but I've dropped off b/c it didn't seem to get me anywhere. But maybe it was just too soon. It seemed to have a good effect yesterday, and it was fun--it fits with my personality. If he was w/ anyone else, I'm sure she couldn't compare, lol!
I'll see him again tonight because he will be the kids since I have choir. I'll see how I can fit my new flirting plan in again!
