Nothing ever happens

Just asked my angels to have a talk with his… It really is a good thing if they all agree that we’re a match (not kidding).

My next update will be after our “date”.

Vi, that’s funny about your house… proves that what you see is not always what you get… and that sometimes (quite often) a facade is just an illusion that tricks your vision and fools your mind… All kinds of things can be hidden under the surface (good and bad), so THAT IS WHERE we really should look…

Good Luck with the Roscommon house Harley !

Enjoy your weekends my sweet darlings (all of you), I know I will <3<3<3

That’s CLASSIC Red. Serves the moany asshole right !!

House hunting went well. it needs tons of work but has potential. I put in an offer so will hear next week. It’s less than 30 mins from one of our major offices, on a main rd, has a neighbour, close to a pub and 2km from a village. 2 hrs to home.

It would take me 3-5 yrs to have it up and running but it’s a start back to recovery from recession and planning for a future if i get it. I have NO money left over to start ding it up but I’ll figure it out as I go along. I always DO. No pics of men, but some nice of scenery which I will upload to FB later.

Time will tell.

Can’t wait to hear of maria’s date.

Hi girls,

Hope everyone is well. I haven’t had a chance to catch up yet, but thought I’d post to let you know I’m still alive. :)

Just been a crazy week at work. I was put on a priority project for the President’s office and those are never fun. It’s a lot of work in a short span of time. Also, the work I was asked to do falls a little outside my realm of expertise and scope of my work. I had spent a lot of time reading and researching and finished my initial draft which seemed to go over well, only to be told on Friday afternoon that the strategic direction of the project may change and I may have to scrap all the work to date and start again on Monday. :| It makes me laugh my place of work its fraught with politics and bureaucracy which is the norm sadly.

Anyway so I’ve been quite busy, then had 2 of my acu treatments which have went well. I’m starting to feel better already. Which is curious bec I’ve been on meds for the last 5-6 months that didn’t make me feel any better. I think my system got completely screwed up bec of all the drugs. I feel calmer and am trying not to let work get to me. I’ve started to eat better again…I think it’s all going to be ok. I’ve had some interest from men, but to be honest, I’m focussed on getting my health on track and feeling better overall I haven’t really bothered to much. These are online anyway. I don’t think I give off a friendly vibe when I’m out. I try and smile, but I’m usually out with purpose and focussed on just getting things done. I think I need to stop and smell the roses.

I’ve booked a holiday in two weeks time, need a bit of a break. So am really excited about getting away.

Update on my friend who had the going away party. Well she texted me to find out if I rec’d her email and if i was coming, still no mention of her engagement. I said I wouldn’t be coming but it’s bec we had family friends over for dinner so I couldn’t have gone anyway. Again she still didn’t mention the engagement. I have a feeling she texted bec none of our friends replied to the email. Anyway, I’m not worried about that situation anymore either.

Umm…what else. Oh I was at Starbucks one day and oooo lala hottie alert. Super fit, amazing body, amazing dresser…nice hair. And I mean nice hair. Ok. I think you get the picture. Brief encounter but totally made me day. Haha.

I think that’s it…for now lovely ladies, I’ll look forward to catching up on your stories soon. I really do hope you’ve all been well and I miss you guys. <3.

Ha ha, I got home this morning ;-) … went to bed, and then for grocery shopping. I also met up with a friend… but now I’m home…

Do you want to hear the long or the short version?

Great to hear from you Serena… glad to hear that your treatments are working… miss you too <3

OK, then long version it is…

Well, I had a GREAT day… and night… I was really looking forward to seeing him, checking him out… finding out more about him…

And… he’s LOVELY… easy going, confident, funny, flirty, kind/caring and oh so gorgeous (seriously, cant stop staring).

First sight – he was by his car fetching some boat stuff when I got to the marina. He saw me and said “You came!”. I said “I did!”. We hugged, he said “Hey” and I said “Hey” back.

The day – was hectic but fun. His friend and brother were there. He was focused on what they were doing, but paid attention to me as well. There were like 200 people there, I recognized at least 50 of them and about 20 were neighbours I have known my whole life, so I wasn’t with him all the time and it didn’t come across as if I was there only to see him.

The night – his friend and brother left and it was just me and him. He asked if I was hungry, I said “I am, a little”. So, we went food shopping, cooked together, ate, drank wine, talked, laughed, flirted…

Then there was this “What do we do now?” moment… and I decided to speed things up a little so I looked at my watch and said “I should probably go” (I was NOT going anywhere). He said “Don’t… go”. I said (with a flirty smile) “You want me to… stay?”. He said “Uh-huh”… then he stroke my arm, put his hand on my back/waist, pulled me closer and… kissed me. I put my arms around his neck and we kissed and kissed and he said “Stay for the night”. I said “O-kay”…

I’m not gonna give you any details of the rest, but yes, we had sex… and it was amazing (can’t describe it any other way)… we’re definitely compatible in bed…

We woke up really early (cause he had to go to the airport). He asked for my number and I gave it to him.

We drove back to the city in separate cars, and the freeway was totally empty and straight and wide… and pretty much made for a street race, so we did that on and off the whole way back (REALLY hope those speed cameras weren’t active)…

I went home and he went to the airport. He texted me a couple of hours ago saying he had a great time last night and this morning. I answered “I had a great time too”. Then he said “You’re quite enchanting”, I answered “Thank you”, then he said “I’ll call you” and I answered “Great!”… and… that’s it.

He doesn’t know when he will be back. Probably before the weekend… then he’ll go away again for 2-3 weeks…

This is one of the reasons why he’s not looking for a steady relationship… and I’m fine with that… I’m totally used to being in relationships where you don’t see each other on a regular basis… the difference is that my exes wanted a steady bf/gf relationship regardless (even though we both travelled a lot), and he doesn’t…

To me that doesn’t make a difference though… I just enjoy being with/spending time with him…

Frank would have asked for your number, if you had not said no to everything he said.

The realtor, does your family know (of) him? Does he have a connection to/a passed in the construction business? Does he fancy you? If so, he could be the man I saw…

The Roscommon house, I totally see the potential… What was your bid? 20? More?

Serena, I hope they pay you well… no amount of money is worth getting burned out over though… you def need to stop and smell the roses… a holiday sounds like a great idea… where are you going if I may ask?

And, yup, I agree, hot men can totally make your day…

Vi, I’m looking forward to hearing about the music festival and the possible new house with the film maker guys… Seriously, how cool and perfect is that!!? Sounds like a real “so it begins” moment…

Date with phone guy today …. lets see how that goes …. he has been really consistent calling and msging me. Lets see if there is any chemistry there. But he def has me intruiged. And he is 6.3″ (swoon).

My bday was awesome …. :D

HUGS everybody, especially you Celeste. I’ll pray you find a new job soon.

My boss was grumpy today and asked for a meeting with me, then he cancelled meeting until tomorrow. I have a bad feeling my head is for the chopping ! What about , god knows. I am annoyed at his unprofessionalism… saying he wants a meeting, then none. NOW.. I have this hanging over me overnight.

GREAT news Sherri. I love tall guys too. Hope it all goes well.

Will hear about house tomorrow. I also sent off cv’s/resume to one or to English schools in Germany ! Not that i’ll hear back !

thanks for the tips with the boss. Will try it. Wish me luck !

Crazy day today but 2 interviews tomorrow and day away from work.. so yeah!
Excited about as i am starting used car shopping with J. My beast of mommobile is so bad on gas that iI will save money each month even AFTER small car payment. Looking at convertibles.. my mid-life crisis..lol
Serena.. yes my boss is all about “I” .. rather than we.
Just have to focus on positives and push job anxiety away.
Harley..hugs.. feel your pain. Good luck.
Vi.. what is this about 2 male roomies??? Night all .. big day tomorrow.

Harley, good luck with house and boss.

Celeste, good luck with finding car, interviews and boss. Consider trying the body language thing.

Serena, soo glad you’re back (if only for a moment?) <3. I’m totally high on this guy… right now his feelings are far behind mine… I have a feeling that’ll change soon though ;-)

Red, can you share the man vs womans mind article on here? It’d be interesting to read it. I love the cold and the dark… I love spring, summer and fall more though…

Good Morning Ladies!!!!

All great news girls …. Maria …. totally practice ur wiles on him .. he wont stand a chance ;)

So let me share the news in the manner of importance:
– I got approved for child care subsidy …YAY so that means so much less money every week out of pocket for me.
– My car exterior is all rusted and I have been told that I either fix the exterior before the winter comes or buy a new car after the winter. So I am busy researching as to what I want to do. What is holding me from just dumping the old car is that I changed my tires just last year and put in a new battery 3 years ago. Wonder if I can sell the parts … but where do I go? This is all new for me. It totally sucks having to think about money all the time. Esp when I did not have to worry about it when I was married. I was reading some of the posts in the other threads and I do not agree with the ladies. I would rather be with a guy who works may be 40 hrs a week and with both our incomes together we make a decent amount of money than with a guy who works 80 hrs a week and makes a really indecent amount of money.

– Lastly, I am not at all impressed with phone guy and he is going on my rotation and is on probation in my mind. He is just starting his business and yesterday around 2pm gives me a call (leaving VM) and messages me cancelling our date as he got a new client meeting which he had to go to. We were supposed to meet at 4pm. So right now though I am chatting with him, he is not on my favourites list. I used the time to visit dealerships and learn about cars to make an informed decision and went with one of my FWNB (friends with no benefits) for dinner as he wanted to treat me for my birthday.

Meeting my 1st FWB today in the evening to celebrate both of our birthdays. I have still not made my decision as I really cant think about sex when I have my car decision to make.
