Sweating

Well, I'm finally done feeling sorry for myself and my toe! I've been over it for a few days now, but I've just been busy being out and about. Had a follow up appointment today with my podiatrist and he said things are healing well and if they continue to heal well, I should be able to go back to dancing in a week or so. Yay!

Otherwise, I'm just tired. had Steadman, my boss, working with me today, so that's always tiring, not to mention the fact that it's in the 90s here. He's with me again tomorrow, but at least it's only one more day to get through.

Blondie and I went out to dinner together on Saturday night and then went to see Partyboy and his band play a little gig. Blondie thinks he's cute, so I'm trying to set the two of them up for a brief hook-up before he goes away to med school. Sunday, I hung out with Bra Girl by the pool until we couldn't stand the hot weather anymore.

Still e-mailing everyday with TDH. He sends me pictures too, it's really cute. I miss him so much, I just can't wait until he gets back on Sunday. Not sure if I'll get to see him on Sunday or not, but at least I'll get to hear his voice and talk again. Sigh. I just can't wait to be with him again! I'm such a dork.

Oh, I finished reading one of Chelsea Handler's books today, "My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands." It was absolutely hilarious! I highly recommend it if you're looking for a light, entertaining and quick read.

Vacation!!

Just a quick little update before I'm on vacation for a week!

This week flew by - just been working, taking dance classes and getting everything ready to go on my trip! Still talking to TDH every day - he's been crazy with trying to get his album finished, but luckily that will be done within the next week and then it's off to get copies made to be released!

I went out to the movies with some friends on Friday night and saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," absolutely hilarious!! After, we went to a wine bar for some dinner and wine. TDH text messaged me while I was in the movie, so I called him after and we made plans to meet up once I was done with dinner. TDH came over and we watched some 90210 and then had some fun in bed, always good times!

Saturday I didn't do anything too exciting, my day got off to a late start since I didn't wake up until 12:30pm since TDH and I didn't get to bed until 4:30am. So I just ran a bunch of errands, got my hair trimmed and then grabbed some dinner.

Today I took an abs class at the dance studio I take classes at which was ridiculously intense, but fantastic! Then just more errand running and finally packing!

So here's something interesting- Friday afternoon I got a phone call from good old Partyboy. He had been out of town for the past few weeks and had just gotten back and called to see what I was up to. We chatted for a bit and that was all. Later on in the night, around 2am, I got a text message from him, but I just ignored it. And then again on Saturday night, he called, but I ignored it. So, how to inform Partyboy that we can still hang out, but only as friends because I am in a relationship? It's just not appropriate for him to be calling me and text messaging me so late at night - I wouldn't be cool with some girl doing that to TDH. Bra Girl thinks that next time he calls during the day, I should just tell him that we can hang out, but just as friends because I'm seeing someone.

Anyways, hopefully TDH will be stopping by tomorrow before I leave to hang out for a bit, but we'll see. I'll be going to Europe for a week to visit family, so I'm so excited! I just can't believe it's here already, my Mom and I have been talking about this for so long. It's not like we've never been, we used to go every year, sometimes twice a year, but it's just been a rough year for my Mom, and we need some good Mother-Daughter bonding time, so we're both really excited.

Anyways, hope you all have a fantastic week, I'll be back on May 13th!

Rescheduled

I'm still swooning over the New Guy. I don't know what this feeling is, but swooning is really the only way I can describe it. When we talk on the phone, my face feels hot and I can't stop smiling. Even after we're off the phone, my face is still hot and I'm grinning from ear to ear for a good two hours after and then again whenever I think about it.

He called about an hour ago and unfortunately, had to reschedule our plans. He and his band won't be finished in the studio until late and he doesn't want to keep me waiting. He felt awful because he never reschedules anything, but I told him not to worry, it's totally understandable. He said he'd call when they were done in the studio so we could talk some more because he was sure I'd want to talk more like he did. I jokingly said, "Look at you making assumptions!" He got worried and was like, "Uh oh, I was wrong then." I was like, "I was just kidding! Of course I'd want to talk to you more!" He's been stuck in a recording studio since 10am, so he can't really think straight right now.

Anyways, I called him yesterday, as I promised I would. We talked for a good hour about more random stuff like pet peeves and porn. So random. The pet peeve discussion made me like him even more because one of his is one of my HUGE ones and that's people with bad table manners. I can't stand it when people don't know how to eat properly or cut their food properly. It drives me nuts. He started talking about how he was raised to eat with perfect table manners, that that was one thing his parents were always very strict with and how he couldn't understand how people eat like cavemen now. Sigh. I won't even go into the porn conversation, but needless to say, I was quite impressed with his views on porn. Basically, watching some trampy chick do it doesn't turn it on. He's not into fake looking people, so the majority of that stuff just doesn't do it for him.

Well, that's all for now. I'm going to go out with some other friends tonight now that my evening is free. I might run into Partyboy, but there will be no hooking up with him, that's for sure!

Allergies, Names and Partyboy

Okay, so I've calmed down with the whole still haven't been kissed by the New Guy situation. I agree with everyone and think it's because I sound like crap since I have no voice and I can't stop coughing. Good news is that I finally went to the doctor this morning and she said that it's from allergies and all of the pollen in the air, after a traumatic throat culture to rule out strep throat. She put me on two new allergy medications and gave me some cough medicine with codeine in it to take at night so I can finally get some sleep. She said to give the allergy medicine a few days to get to work on all of the inflammation and I should be better. So, let's all hope that she's right and I'm all better soon!! I need to find out if New Guy is a good kisser or not!

Speaking of New Guy, I only got one suggestion for a blog name for him, and that was Brandon, after Brandon Walsh on 90210. So, now, for everyone to vote on, there's Nerd Guy, Smart Guy and Brandon. Everyone?

Now for the Partyboy update... It seems that Partyboy did not intend on coming off as an ass the other week wen he replied to my invite to go out for drinks with a simple, "I can't." On Friday, I got a text message from him asking what I was up to. I was waiting a half hour before replying to him, but only 15 minutes went by and PB text messaged me again asking what I was up to. I replied back that I wasn't doing anything because I have laryngitis. He immediately texted back with, "Oh no. Can I get you anything?" I thanked him and told him that I had everything I needed. He told me to let him know if I needed anything, a lap dance included (LOL). Later on in the evening, PB text messaged me again asking if I was okay and to see what I was up to. I told him I was and that I was just relaxing and resting my voice.

Early Saturday morning, PB messaged me to make sure I was okay, we had had some pretty bad storms the night before and to also check and see how I was feeling. I told him that I made it through the storms just fine and I still had no voice, but that I was feeling just fine. Saturday evening, Partyboy again messaged me to make sure I knew that if I needed anything, to let him know and he would be more than happy to help. He told me that I need to hurry up and get better so I can be in "Swinging" shape for him. I told him I was trying to get better, but not for him. He asked for who? I told him for myself. I guess PB got a little jealous at the thought of SingleGirl with another guy! Then around midnight, he messaged me to try to come out. I told him that would certainly not be happening, another time!

Yesterday afternoon, Partyboy called to check on me and chat for a bit. Such an odd one that PB is!

So, that's the PB update! I truly don't think he meant to come off as a jerk with his harsh reply the other week. He obviously cares. Either that, or he's just trying to secure a piece of ass! Either way, the New Guy has taken over at the top of my list. Partyboy is certainly just a physical thing until I figure out what the situation is with the New Guy. After stopping at the grocery store today, I got in my car and the song on the radio was a cheesy 80's song the New Guy and I had talked about on our first date. It brought such a huge smile to my face. Don't worry, I didn't call him and tell him I heard the song, but it did make me really happy. I'm such a dork.

The bump was a pebble

Well, the little bump in the road about Partyboy was just a tiny pebble for me to drive over. Thursday night, I text messaged PB and asked what he was up to this weekend and he replied that he was swamped and what was I up to. I told him that I wasn't sure yet and wanted to see if he would like to go out for drinks some time. His reply was simply, "I can't." Mmmkay. What the hell is that? Not even, Sorry I can't? Just "I can't." No, "Maybe next week"? So, whatever, on to another. As Samantha said to me, "You tossed out a bone. He didn't bite this time. Oh well. Next puppy." Love it!

I went out both Friday night and last night. Don't know what's gotten into me lately, I've just been in the mood to be out. I guess after not really going out at all for the past year, I'm feeling the urge to be social again! I think I'll stick to just one night out a week though, last night I just wasn't feeling it as much as Friday night. But I think where we went out had something to do with it too, the place was packed and the guys were so skeezy. Last night before going out we went bowling which was so much fun, haven't done that since college.

Friday night, I went out with MJ to the laid-back bars near where I live. First, we went to a different area to meet up with some of her other friends who were watching a band at a bar, but MJ's license had expired a couple of weeks ago, so the guy at the door wouldn't let her in. Douchebag. So we went to the laid-back bars.

There, MJ and I were getting hit on by random guys, some that looked like they could be 19 years old, it was pretty funny. They couldn't understand why we weren't responding to their advances and at one point, one of them says to me, "So, just because I'm 3 years younger than you, I don't turn you on?" Poor thing. He just wasn't getting it. Then he proceeds to say, "What if I like older women?" What a dumb boy, now you just made me feel really old. MJ was really struggling when trying to deal with one of this guy's friends, so we made our escape. We ran into one of MJ's guy friends at another end of the bar and while MJ went to the bathroom, I went to the bar to get drinks.

Up at the bar, I met the guy who is now my date for Thursday night...

Need advice! A bump in the road...

Well, it seems like because of work stuff, I really won't be moving as soon as I had hoped. I'm really not thrilled about this. Until Monday, I had been under the impression that a position would open up for me within the next couple of months and I'd be outta here! But, nope, probably not going to happen. There's still a slight chance, but it's very slim, and it's more likely that something will open up in October. So, yes, I'm annoyed about that, but it's out of my control.

Okay, so here is where I need your help...

So, mainly because of friends like Crazy Girl, College Friend and MJ putting thoughts into my head, I'm wondering if I want something more than just a random hook-up thing with Partyboy. I can't figure out what it is that I want from PB. This obviously isn't a "booty call" type thing for me because I knew him before the hot make-out sessions started and there is obviously some sort of connection we have (obvious from him saying how he can completely be himself when he's around me, how much fun we have together, etc.). BUT, I don't want and am not ready for anything serious, but I think, key word being THINK, I would like us to hang out more. Here's the problem... When I hung out with PB for the first time a few Fridays ago, I got a text from a friend and PB asked if it was a booty call, I told him that, No, I don't have any of those YET. And I also told him earlier in the night that I'd be moving back to Florida in the next couple of months. That's probably not going to happen now. He had joked that I shouldn't move until at least August because that's when he'd be moving.

How do I figure out what I want? How do I figure out what he wants?

Some people say that it's obvious he likes me. Well, he hasn't exactly asked me out on a date. BUT, I did tell him when we first hung out that I was looking for a booty call. So I didn't exactly give him any sort of clue that I was interested because at the time I wasn't. BUT, later that night he asked if he could take me on a date. Yet, he still hasn't asked me on that date. Mixed messages? I think so.

I've had guys that were "booty calls" before and in those situations, we never hung out together at all during the course of the night. One of us would call the other at the end of the night to go to the other's place to hook-up. There was no hanging out, no going out, really no talking or getting to know the other person, it was pretty impersonal and kept strictly physical. Any talk was all small talk. In my mind, that's how a booty call should be.

PB and his band played a gig last night that I didn't go to see. Do I call or text PB today and ask how it went and suggest getting together some night? Should I just let things be and see what happens this weekend? Should I just let this be a hook-up and separate any feelings that arise?

So, advice? Help!

And let me just say, that I feel like a bit of an ass for feeling this way and sharing this with all of you. I don't know why, but I do. And my feelings on this could very well change, but right now, this is how I feel!

On a funny side note, PB's friend, James, added MJ as a friend on Facebook and then asked her out for drinks. She called me asking what to do because she had just gotten dumped a couple of weeks ago and is totally not ready and not interested in James as more than just a friend. She didn't want to be one of those girls who's saying, "I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm not ready to date." So, I told her to just suggest going out together again in a group like last time, and he'll get the picture.

Freaking Hot!

I had another crazy night last night, I didn't get to sleep until 5:30am this morning. So, I'm warning you now, this is a long one and at times, not G-rated...

Security Guy offered to get me on the list for a sold out concert in town if I wanted to go (even though he isn't in town, he helps manage this particular artist's tour), so I called up my friend from college, MJ, who is a fan of this artist to see if she wanted to go. She was up for going, even though her and her boyfriend broke up for good yesterday. Around 7:45pm, I picked up MJ and we made our way downtown to find parking near the venue. We went to will call, showed my ID and we were given front row tickets to the seated part of the venue. Woah. Pretty friggin cool. Thanks Security Guy! MJ was quite impressed, so I gave her the backstory on Security Guy. The concert itself was fantastic, she was on stage by herself, so that took some balls on her part and she's very musically talented. After the show, we went back to my car and tried to leave the parking garage which took for-ev-er. I think we sat there for a good half hour. MJ and I came back to my place so we could eat something before going out to the bars for the night.

After a snack, MJ and I headed out on the town. We got to one bar and proceeded to try and get drinks. This bar was ridiculously packed, so these two guys got MJ her beer and me my water, very nice of them. We were then obligated to talk to them for a while even though neither one of us was interested. Plus, none other than Partyboy was at another bar in the area and wanting to meet up with us. After a round with the nice guys, MJ and I left the bar and went to the bar down the street that PB was at. We got to that bar and met up with PB and some of his friends, including James, from the other night. PB had had a few drinks, so he was quite entertaining at this point and very gropey (is that a word?), but I like that. At one point, PB went to the bathroom and MJ leans over to me and says, "Wow, he really likes you!" PB kept taking little opportunities to kiss me or my neck or just have his arms around me. He was like, "I like that I don't have to watch what I say or censor my personality around you like I do with other girls. I can just be myself. That's why I like you so much."

After hanging out for a while, we discovered that James had never been to the seedy club up the street where strippers go to retire. MJ, PB and I are like, "We're going there now!" So, after paying the tab, we started walking towards my car to drive to the seedy club. James and MJ were walking ahead of PB and I, so PB took this opportunity to stop me and grab me for a kiss in the middle of the sidewalk. After kissing me, he decided to pick me up and carry me to my car. Being that he was intoxicated, I was not exactly thrilled about that, but since he didn't fall or drop me, it's okay now. We stopped at an ATM for the guys to get cash and then it was on to the club.

We get to the parking lot and James was having second thoughts. PB was like, "You can wait for us in the parking lot, but you might get shot!" So James followed us inside. PB bought James a very interesting lap dance from one of the strippers. James was absolutely traumatized. During his lap dance, I found out that he had never even been to a regular strip club before. Poor guy! This was his first experience. The stripper literally punched him in the face with her boobs. PB and I made out a couple of times there, not during the nasty dance, mind you. We left at closing time, 3am. We dropped MJ off at her apartment and then dropped James off at his place so he could disinfect. After PB attempted to have another parking session in the same parking lot again, I drove back to the area where the bars were so PB could find his car. Problem was, his car wasn't where he thought it was. Yeah, after driving around for 15 minutes, we found it on another street. Then it was time to figure out where to go from there. At this point, it was 3:45am and PB had to get up to go to work for two hours at 9am. Instead of being sensible, PB and I proceeded to have another little session.

WOW. That's all I can say.

WOW.

I can't remember getting so turned on by making out ever. It was so freaking hot, I just don't know how to explain and don't think I can. I think about it and adrenaline shoots through me and my heart races. We would stop kissing and I wouldn't even be able to talk. I couldn't even think straight or see straight. I felt totally intoxicated. I was like, "I am so turned on right now. You're driving me crazy!" His reply was, "I haven't even begun to drive you crazy." At one point, we both got out of the car and he pinned me against the side of my car and we just went at it. Before, I could say things, they wouldn't make sense, but words would come out. This time, we'd stop kissing, and pardon my language, all I could say was, "Fuck" or "Oh my G-d." Then, he picked me up, wrapped my legs around him and kissed me. He put me down and started kissing my neck, down my chest, lifted my top a little, and kissed down my stomach. I had to stop him then because I was about to lose all control.

My heart is racing all over again as I'm typing this because the picture images in my head of last night are flashing through my head right now.

So, we finally parted with a promise to continue on another night when he didn't have to wake up early and we could fully enjoy ourselves. Once I got home and was about to get in the shower, PB called to make sure I got home okay. Also, to tell me how badly he wants me and how much I turned him on and how he wishes he were with me about to get into the shower too.

Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well last night, in between dreams, some dirty, some not, I would wake up, turn over and then have another flashback and not be able to fall asleep again for a bit. Partyboy text messaged me this morning just to say hi and see what was up. I told him that I didn't sleep very well, but it was okay and that I'll see him again very soon.

Today I met up with MJ and some of her friends at the park where we just hung out for a few hours since the weather was gorgeous for a change. MJ's new roommate is actually a girl I used to take dance lessons with growing up, so that was funny.

Anyways, time for me to relax and enjoy some tv! Hopefully there will be more Partyboy stories to come!

Parking. . .

Well, Partyboy and I didn't hang out on Tuesday night, which was a good thing, because Steadman, my boss, worked with me that day, so I was a bit too tired to really do anything. Wednesday evening, PB texted (don't think that's a word, but I'm making it one now!) me asking what I was up to. Told him I was just relaxing on the couch. He said he and his friends had just finished mixing his album in the studio (he's a musician and working on a solo album) and are hanging out at a local bar and that I should come. It was 10:45 and since Cashmere Mafia was on, I wasn't going to start getting ready until 11, but I told him I'd get ready and be over there soon. Got to the place around 11:20pm (I'm quick like that), but couldn't find parking, so PB hopped in my car to help me find a parking spot. We quickly found one and got out of my car.

Once I had put my jacket on, PB did it. He did something that makes my knees weak. He walked up to me, put one arm around my lower back and one hand grabbed the side of my face/head and kissed me. Sigh. We kissed in the parking lot for a good 5 or 10 minutes. He had had a few drinks, but the kissing was still good. We went to the bar and joined his friends at a booth on the patio. It was funny, he introduced me using his sense of humor that I understand, but his friends didn't know I understood, so at first, they were shocked, but I fired right back with a little quip and PB said, "See guys? This is why I love hanging out with her! She can totally handle it and she fires right back!"

We hung out at this bar for about an hour, it was a different crowd, but I didn't really care. PB was being grabby, which I like- holding my leg under the table or putting his arm around me. We went inside for a bit and he just kept wanting to stand in front of me with his arms around me. One of his friends wanted to go to another bar nearby, but PB, his other friend James, and I were ready to call it a night. So PB, James and I left. PB had to give his friend James a ride back to his place, so since it was on the way back towards my house, I followed in my car. Got to the little complex James lives at and dropped him off. PB pulled his car around next to mine and got out and into my car. He brought the CD he had finished working on with him so I could hear it.

Within 30 seconds, we were making out. Yes, very 1950s of us, we made out in a parked car in a random parking lot for about an hour! It was definitely hot and heavy. I'm still having little flashbacks that come into my head every once in a while that give me little zaps of adrenaline. Especially when I remember him telling me how badly he wants to drive me crazy. Wow. Even though it was almost 2am when we finally called it a night, we had a really hard time stopping the make-out session, he got out of my car and came to my window to kiss some more. Poor guy only got maybe 4 hours of sleep.

PB is out of town this weekend, so I won't be seeing him until sometime this week. I'm glad we stayed in the car the other night, I didn't want to get too carried away with things by going back to one of our places. He tried his hardest to convince me though, telling me how he'd cuddle me all night and cook me breakfast in the morning. I resisted though. I'll stay the night if the night starts earlier.

As far as sex goes, maybe this is silly of me, but if I'm going to have sex with PB, I'd like that to be on a weekend night. I'd stay the night and just do pretty much everything but sex on a weeknight, but for sex, I'd prefer a Friday or Saturday night. I can even see it might be a bit ridiculous to think that, but whatever!

Okay, on to Security Guy. Things are still the same. We text back and forth throughout most of the day. We've only talked on the phone once though and that was for 5 minutes. This is mainly my fault though, I'd been avoiding talking on the phone for the first week we were texting because things were so great that I was scared talking on the phone would somehow screw things up. I'm sure we'll talk on the phone again soon though since he has the night off tonight. My main thing with him though is that he's on the road with the band and I have no clue when I'll see him again. So that makes it kind of hard to really get attached or anything. I'm just going to play this situation by ear.

Crazy Girl and I are getting together tomorrow to have lunch and hang out. Should definitely be fun, as it always is when Crazy Girl and I get together. Saw "Jumper" today which was good. Not great, not bad. Just good. The special effects were really cool as was the whole premise of being able to "jump" to anywhere in the world instantaneously. But, considering the fact that the movie was only an hour and a half long, they could have spent another 20 minutes developing the story behind the characters a little more.

That's all for now! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

On a Roll?

So, I had quite the unexpected Friday night. Seems like Single Girl is suddenly VERY attractive to the menfolk. Got a call from a guy I shall nickname Partyboy, who used to be at Shabbat dinner at The Couple's house when I would go there for dinner. He and I always got along and would laugh hysterically through the whole dinner. He's a good-looking guy, but nothing ever happened because one of us was always in a relationship. Since The Couple moved to LA and now Tennessee, Partyboy and I hadn't seen each other in months and months, I can't even remember when. So, he wrote me a note on Facebook saying we should hang out and I gave him my number. He called me Friday night to invite me out with him and one of his friends. Being the old lady I am, I usually don't go out on Friday nights. I'm usually just too tired after the work week to get dressed up and go out somewhere noisy. But lately I've been feeling like I need to get out more, so I told Partyboy I would go out with him and his friend since they were going to a bar near me.

Around 11:30 I met up with PB and his friend. We sat at a table on the outside patio and it was just like it used to be. I was laughing hysterically, as was PB and his friend. I had only planned on going out for an hour, but before I knew it, it was 1:30am and PB was asking where we should go next. By this time, we had moved to a table inside the bar. I looked at my phone and PB had text message me, "You look really hot tonight." Well now, PB! I texted him back that he's looking pretty good himself. We decided to go to a very seedy club up the street that's known in town as the place that strippers go to retire. Before going there, I went to use the restroom. Partially to fan myself. Goes to show how long it's been for Single Girl. All I could think of was that scene in the first episode of "Lipstick Jungle" if any of you have seen that. WOW. PB had also gone to the restroom at the same time as me, so I wouldn't have been surprised if that happened and was secretly hoping it would. But it didn't. He was waiting for me in the hall when I came out of the restroom but didn't make a move. He drove to the seedy club with me in my car and had his friend follow us in his car. I thought for sure he would make a move then, but he didn't. Boys. He did ask me if he could take me on a date. I told him he could.

The seedy club was quite the sight. I got hit on by some guys there too, but I certainly was not about to be picked up in that place. We stayed there for about 40 minutes before deciding to call it a night. PB and his friend begged me to go out with them again soon, they had so much fun. I promised them I would, that I had a ton of fun. PB picked me up and twirled me around and I gave him a kiss on the cheek. As soon as I got home, they both text messaged me saying they had a great time, PB adding that he was still up if I wanted to hang out. I declined the offer telling him to call me another time if he wanted to hang out.

Partyboy text messaged me a few times yesterday just to see what I was up to and then called me at 11:30 to invite me out. I told him that I was way too tired after being kept out until 3am the night before and not sleeping very well. He was being persistent, but I was not going to budge, especially since I hadn't been feeling too well all day. He finally said okay. Then about 45 minutes later, PB calls again to try one more time to get me out. Still wasn't happening. Then he says, "I should have kissed you last night." My jaw dropped. Sorry, I know it's been a while since I've gotten butterflies, but that turned me on, I guess it's easier these days! But, it still wasn't going to get me to get out of bed. Plus I would have to shave my legs. I told him he should have kissed me, but he didn't, so he'll have to do that next time. We have plans to hang out Tuesday night, so we'll see what happens.

The Security Guy and I have also been messaging back and forth. He's such a sweet and funny guy. So we'll see what happens there.

I'm just not ready for anything too serious right now, so this is all exactly what I need.
