game playing
the other day i met up for lunch with a guy from the gym. we'd gone out once before for drinks (nicely, by chance the day after my last ex called it off). our conversation was stilted at the time, and more like 20 questions, but it was fun to chat with someone new.
so again, i said yes.
we met up at a local burrito place & got in line. i was curious to see how he would handle the whole thing.
i was in line in front of him & had ordered, and was paying for my burrito when he lamely said, oh, i was planning to get that. with no effort to do so. i said, oh that's ok...and he didn't object. or walk over to my register and pay. instead he went to the next open one and bought his food.
again in line he said the same thing, at least once more, maybe twice. i was annoyed b/c clearly, he wasn't following through. he mumbled something about being behind the game.
we had a nice lunch & were out of there within the hour.
i realized to myself why some men are single. when things need to be done, they just can't seem to get them done.
i was fine with paying for myself - or not. just no need to pretend like you were planning on paying when you couldn't even step up & do it.
compare to mr. ny.
he walks in to the bar when i met up with him again and he sat down next to me. i was in the middle of a martini. in 2 seconds flat he had got the bartender and said, what are you drinking? give her another one of those. 2 minutes later i had a second martini my jealous friends were sampling.
he's been in the game ever since, or two steps ahead of it.
ahhhhhhh. we like.

Happiness is....
Ok, i'm tagging myself it...from two date diva's and princessb's posts.
1. Snuggling in bed with a good book while it snows 13.5 inches outside and I have nowhere to go.
2. Snuggling in bed with a hot guy after [x-rated comments deleted by author]
3. Blasting my car radio like a ghetto girl :)
4. That euphoric feeling after I dance like a princess/slut with my sexy argentinian teacher at my tango class
5. The energy of anticipation before I travel
6. Stepping down from the stage after giving a kick-ass presentation or musical performance
7. Seeing my artwork on the wall. Anyone's wall
8. Listening to my guy talk & just enjoying the sound of his voice
9. Rereading my writing/blogging & just marveling at how sometimes the words come out just right. (I write for a living, so it's not ALL about this blog, though sometimes...it is!)
10. Starbucks, when you really want it

life stages
there's the prom
then the college dates
the weddings
and the babies
then the divorces
then...the illness.
2 people, very close to me - literally - have been diagnosed with cancer in the last week. my housemate and the guy that sits in the cube next to mine...
i don't know what to say.
to them either.
