Vacation

Vacationing is great ... spending time with the SSM is so great is borders on ridiculous - actually it doesn't border on ridiculous, it is ridiculous. We tell each other everyday that we are ridiculous. The weather is fantastic here and I haven't had internet for 4 days which might be the best part of the vacation - ahem, well the second best ;-).

Hope you are all well in your various parts of the world.

More next week about my time with the SSM including our get away to a chalet in the mountains. A CHALET!

Leaving on a Jet Plane …

Don’t know when I’ll be back again … Ah babe, I hate to go …

Well, okay I do know when I will be back home but it is hard to say when I will be back here as I will be unable to blog while staying with the SSM. It sort of defeats the concept of the whole anonymous blogging thing, you know?

If I find myself alone and with some stories to tell, I will update you. If no time or space permits you won’t be seeing this single girl for about a week.

Have fun while I am gone.

Not Good

After my little health scare a few weeks ago, I gave up caffeine. The doc said that I should reduce my caffeine and drink alcohol in moderation, so I decided to just give up caffeine. As for the alcohol… one step at a time doc, one step at a time. I have almost entirely stuck to caffeine free herbal teas when I feel like a hot drink but every once in a while I have a decaf Americano and savor the memory of coffee.

Last night I was out for a nice dinner with a friend and at the end of the meal I decided to have not one but two decaf lattes with dessert. By about midnight last night I was beginning to realize that I wasn’t tired, like at all, and at 1:30am I realized that it must be the decafs, but how could it? Well DECAF HAS CAFFEINE! WTF is up with that?

So today I am functioning on very little sleep, but I will not give in and have caffeine, or even decaf. Well, I might have one decaf …

Stupid decaf, with the caffeine and the tasty tasty coffee flavour … grumble, grumble grumble.

The Circle is Complete

On Saturday Fireboy and Awesome finally met, now all of my boys have met each other. There isn’t much to tell about the actual introduction or beers that followed. They chatted about life, exchanged a few stories and generally kept it all light.

Now the circle of boys is complete. Each of them now have a face to put with the name of other men in my life.

There is more stories to tell from Fireboy’s visit but unfortunately I am off to the pub with GB and Roomie after a very long work day.

I will try to update you all tomorrow.

Kisses

Busy Busy

I am feeling kinda guilty because I haven’t updated in a week or so, but my life is revolving around work right now so I don’t have much to say here. This weekend Fireboy is coming to town for two days, which I am pretty excited about. I haven’t seen him in three months and I could use some zen time with him.

In one week (or seven more sleeps) I am going to fly across the country and see my brother and his family for two days and then, I am going to see the SSM and stay with him for six days. A real vacation with my favourite guy, I am pretty excited and a little nervous. I can’t think of the last time I spent a week straight with a boyfriend or lover, I am not entirely sure it has ever happened before. Anyway, just one more week of work and I am taking a much needed break.

Woo Hoo!

Not much more to tell today, and besides I need to get into work now. Hopefully something interesting for the blog will come out of Fireboy’s visit.

Happy Friday!

Isn’t It Always The Way

You spend an hour with a cute sales guy talking, and joking as he tries to sell you a product. You think to yourself, wow, cute, funny, just bought his first condo in your neighbourhood. You know the type the kind of guy I am talking about, fit, might play hockey in the winter, golf in the summer, loves a good pint of beer at the pub and has a great sense of humour. Perfect right? There is just one problem. He has a girlfriend.

My thought when he mentioned his girlfriend - get out of my office, I don’t have time for a man with a girlfriend I have work to do … and no I am not going to buy your product, are you kidding, I don’t buy things from guys with girlfriends!

Let the Good Times Roll

Let me start by reassuring you all that I am fine. My trip to the hospital was a bit of a traumatic event, but now I am feeling pretty good – as long as I remember to take ibuprofen twice a day. I had a couple of calls and messages from people who were worried so I thought I would just reassure you all that TSG is still alive and kicking.

Now on with the stories …

This past weekend GB, Roomie, Awesome and I hit the town to attend a charity event that we managed to score free tickets to. The theme of the night was Sweet 70s and we all got dressed up. It was two floors of food, cheap martinis, dancing and a candy buffet. It was the fantasy everyone had as a kid, stick your hand in the jar and take as much as can fit in your pocket. We had candy sticks, rockets, tootsie rolls, pop rings, candy necklaces and coloured condoms (did I mention it was an AIDS charity event) until we just couldn’t fit anymore in our pockets. When there was no more room for candy, we hit the martini bar.

Late in the evening Awesome and I were watching the dance floor from the second level, armed with the courage of five martinis and a sugar high from all the candy I turned to him and said “you know, I really like hanging out with you and I am enjoying making out with you on occasion, but I don’t think we should have sex, again, ever.” “Umm, really? Why?” He asked, getting ready to find flaw in my argument. “Well” I began “We are really good friends, almost best friends, really. I think if we had sex, you would get weird and/or I would get weird and I am afraid that I would lose you and I don’t want that.” “Oh, yeah, you are right I would probably get weird. I do stuff like that.” And with that it was settled. So we made out for a bit to celebrate our new arrangement.

On Sunday the four of us met for Brunch, Beer and Boots. The pub was the first stop for some eggs and a crown float to start the day. Then off to the shoes store to look for some boots for the boys. I was very good and didn’t buy anything, mind you neither did the boys. After the failed shopping trip we left Awesome and GB, Roomie and I went to buy supplies for our dinner party – an Indian buffet feast. It was fantastic, 10 friends sitting around our living room enjoying lots of food, wine and good conversation. Everyone was out of the house by 10pm and the three of us did up all the dishes in under 30 minutes. Yeah team work!

It has been too long since I have had a weekend like this to report. It makes me happy to think things are getting back to normal around here. Events, parties, food, wine, martinis, boys, that, faithful readers, is how the single girl is suppose to be Keeping the Dream Alive.

Cheers Gang!
