a highlight or two
So, Saturday, when I dropped the girls off at The Cake Lady's house, I had to run over to another friend's place. You should remember her as the lady who's party I went to last month. If you haven't read that yet, stop reading this and click here. If you have, carry on. Anyway, I get over there and she has some things she wants me to sell on ebay for her and while we are talking about them, she brings up September party. We are laughing about a couple of things that happened when she suddenly refers to the guy (I feel like that should be followed by a 'dun dun duuun'). Oh yes, you remember him, the guy who managed to talk to me for over an hour about his ex, not ONCE letting me get a word in edgewise? Yeah, I knew you would remember ;)
She tells me that the guy has been over a few times since and always asks about me. During the most recent visit she catches on to the fact that he has asked about me a lot and confronts him on it.
Now, some history here people. I was like MAD for this woman's son for a very long time and every time she and I got together (which was often back then), I always asked about him.. How he was, if he was seeing anyone, the possibility of bumping into him at one of her functions... and she didn't realize I was interested in him until I was actually dating him, lol. So, for her to have realized that this guy was into me surprised me.
Anyway, she says that he admits being into me and she (this is why I love her) tells him to save his time since at the party all he did was whine about his ex and it is doubtful that I will be returning his interest. (He didn't remember any of this, not surprisingly. What a catch huh?) So, then she says that he asked her how to spell my last name. She says she thinks he is going to send my flowers or something as his way of apologizing for trying to bore me to death. (Flowers? Try jewelry! lol... ok, yeah, but you weren't there.)
Then she does that eye gleam thing. You know, the one where you can tell that someone has just had a "brilliant idea" and you are suddenly scared and start to back away from them? Yeah, that eye gleam. So, she waits a beat and then says, "Well, you know Kate, he is a nice guy... Maybe if you give him another shot." There was visible wincing after she completed that sentence and she immediately followed it with, "oh! You don't find him attractive?" You mean, the guy with the major issues? Oh, he was fucking hot. Uh, no. Hell no. But, it isn't just that. I didn't find a single thing about this guy attractive; not in looks, not in personality, not in lengthy conversation.. nadda.
So, I give her the I'm-not-really-into-dating-ANYone-right-now speech and she says ok and then gives me the you'll-never-meet-anyone-if-you-don't-get-out-there-more-Kate speech and I promise that I will try and get out "there" (where ever the hell "there" is) as soon as possible. She says something about how he will probably be sending me the flowers to work and laughs and I, again, wince and then we moved on.

Anyway, the rest of weekend was fine. The Cake Lady had my two older heathens so it was just Trin and I almost all weekend. Yeah, The Cake Lady? She fucking rocks. I did some house work, watched some tv, chatted online... very mellow. It's amazing how much less there is for me to clean when two of my kids aren't here :P

Oh YEAH, and I won a little contest :) Care to see? Click here. So, I won an Ipod Shuffle :) Yay! There is a little confusion as to how I will come into possession of said prize, but we are working it out...

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
