Right Now

On Saturday afternoon I was at the esthetician having all the hair unceremoniously ripped from my legs and I heard a song come on the radio. Given the situation, it is pretty amazing that the lyrics grabbed me so quickly and moved me out of the room, far away from the ripping and the pain and into my own head.

I often think that my life timing is really good in some ways – career, friendships – and really bad in others – romantic relationships. If I was to make a guess, I would say that in almost all of my relationships I have been about six months off the mark. Either walking in to someone’s life to early or too late. It isn't always them, sometimes it's me, but who ever the culprit is timing seems to be a big problem. Careers, past relationships, current relationships, circumstance, distance have all played a part and if I had only (or they had) been there a little before or a little after things might be different.

But back to the song that got me thinking about all this…

I was a busy girl yesterday and forgot to look them up, but I woke up this morning thinking of the opening lyrics; Don't know why I'm still afraid, If you weren't real I would make you up. I have now found it and brought to you. Hope you like the song. I do.

Life in the Fast Lane

Man, I wish I was writing a post about going out and getting tipsy and meeting some hot young boy – whom I would give a witty nickname - but the title, Life in the Fast Lane, refers only to the state of affairs at work.

Today marks my first full day off in 14 days. Not that uncommon in the working world, I know, but the last six days have been long days, ranging from 10 – 16 hours each and I am now beat.

I think things will be fine and settle down at work in about a month, but I may not be posting much over the coming weeks as I seem to be getting home late every night and crashing hard not long after I get there.

Sorry gang, I know I am here to keep the dream alive … but sometimes a girl has got to work hard in order to justify playing so hard.

Much love,

The Single Girl

It's Coming

Ugh

It is 6:45am and I am on my way to work. This doesn't bode well for the week.

Hope everyone else is having a more relaxed Monday.

• Fireboy made me an offer, if things go south with his best friend (the SSM) he would like to start a poly long distance relationship. Of course you would, I thought and left the offer on the table for another day. Turns out I am afraid of commitment, even a long distance poly commitment.
  
• I told the SSM about my afternoon with Awesome - well I said I made out with a friend, but if he can't figure out who that would be, he needs his head examined. His response, lucky girl, and then he told me that he was really happy we could be honest with each other. Score one for Polyamory. Sweet!
  
• Awesome and I have managed to have a normal week. Score one for making out without consequences. Super Sweet!
• I Miss GB! Please come home, I need a pint.
  
• Busy week at work. Huge gala event last night and I rocked it with a little black dress and stunning smoozing skills.
  
• I got a rose, a virtual rose and a bottle of wine for VD day. Not bad for a girl who doesn't really celebrate the "holiday."
  
• If OQB had a blog, I would tell you to all go there and wish him a Happy Birthday, but he doesn't, so if you want to leave your salutations here, feel free. I think he is turning 25 for the 7th time ;)
  

Happy Friday everyone!

Heard on the Phone

Upon hearing that I had a make out session with Awesome

Fireboy: TSG, you realize, at this point, the only way you could make your life more complicated would be to sleep with GB.

TSG: Yeah, that would pretty much do it. Unless I could also find a way to get OQB involved ...

Not sure why, but …

I made out with Awesome Sunday afternoon. We watched a movie then started listening to loud thrashy music and it just sort of happened. It was a lot of fun. A LOT.

And that is all I have to say about that.

The Date

Well … what can I say … it wasn’t really a date, more of a pre date. You know the time that you go out and get to know each other a little, see if there are any sparks, swap some stories, and that sort of thing. The evening ends with a hug not a kiss, you agree you should “hang out” again soon but no one ever uses the word date or acts too much like it is one … in case it isn’t.

There were a few fun and funny moments over the course of the evening. At one point he said to me, “Really all I want is to find a girl I can wake up beside in the morning and say, are you as hung over as I am.” I could, and have been that girl I thought. But I wisely didn’t respond with that, instead I said, “You know iDate, you and I could become good friends.” And we clinked glasses. He also offered to buy me beers for the next month in order to help me afford yet another pair of boots I want. I respectfully declined, letting him know that I really need to curb my boot habit for the time being, but what an offer! And finally at one point as I was telling some story he said “Wow, you are so much cooler than I thought you were!” “Umm … thanks … I think” “No that’s not what I meant, I just mean I didn’t know you so I didn’t know you were cool. I am not making this better am I.” “ I know what you are trying to say. And thanks.”

I don’t really know about the spark stuff. I kinda felt it, but I am not sure if he did. He is one of those really nice guys who has lots of friends so it can be difficult to tell if he is just being buddy buddy or if there was something else. I hope we get to go out drinking again, because even if there isn’t anything romantic there, I did have a good time and am always happy to find a new drinking buddy.

So there you have it, the lovely date (or predate) with iDate. More to come … I hope.

The Single Girl

Hi … I’m really busy at work, and I am coming down with a cold. But the good news is tonight I am finally going out with iDate and I promise a full update sometime over the weekend.

Until then here is a picture of my new boots.

Boots!

I, like many women have an addiction to shoes, well more specifically to boots these days. I have between 10 and 15 pairs of boots in my closet. Some ankle, some knee high, some black, some brown, some red and I love them all. But make no mistake it is an addiction.

Last week while away on business I happened into the bank of John Fluevog and discovered a sale! Not just any sale but a 60% off sale. Even though I had bought two pair of boots (one brown, one black) less then a month ago I had to get these Fluevogs. They were knee high, cheap, apricot and needed a good home. Besides I don’t own any Fluevogs … and I really really should.

It is still a little too cold here to wear them outside, but soon, my new Mallorys will be hitting the town with me.

Now though, I must resist the urge to buy boots until the fall. I don’t really need anymore and I can’t continue to spend money on boots every month .. wait I have to imagine that I can for a moment … alright back to reality. I the single girl … will not buy any new fashion boots until further notice. There I said it.

A picture of my beautiful boots will be posted soon so you too can enjoy them in all their Fluevogian glory.
