If you remember I mentioned that Veteran man was gone on vacations to the Cayman Islands with his daughter. Before he left he said he wouldn't be texting or calling due the cost from that distance. He did send that picture of the beautiful beach, but then today, Thursday, he sent me a picture of himself in a bathing suit.
I was watching t.v. and my cell phone dinged that I had received a text and lo and behold it was him texting away. This went on for about an hour with us going back and forth. Then the cell phone rang and it was him saying he was having cocktails and thinking about me. I should be flattered I guess. I do miss his banter that comes across via the cell text everyday. He is having a nice time with his daughter and they were headed out for a dinner cruise. His time share is right on the beach so it obviously is a pleasant place to reside for a vacation.
I'm continuing this on March 2nd. I've had so many texts from Veteran man we should write a column. The other thing that happened today is one of my Match guys came back into the fold. I have never met this man, as he lives in Las Vegas and comes to Los Angeles once in a while on business. The last time I talked to him he was leaving for Turkey and Greece. It was quite a while ago that we conversed, sometime last year, and I frankly forgot all about him. He said he thought he had lost my cell phone number but found it today and decided to call. He was in the Los Angeles area but was headed home. He asked if he could call me in the evenings.....I think he thought I went to bed at nine. Not! If anything I'm awake until at least 12:30 or so. I've always been a night owl and can't sleep worth a darn.
So, everyone was taking bets on the fact that Dez would or wouldn't show up to take me Palm Desert. I hadn't heard from him since Wednesday night, so I sent him a text asking what his ETA was today. I actually received a text back saying he was leaving Beverly Hills at 2:30, if he does that he will be here around four or four thirty. It is only forty five miles, but with traffic it takes two to two and a half hours. Then getting to the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area is another hour and a half plus more....Fridays are always a pain to travel anywhere. I called my friend and told her everything was on so she could relax.
Off to finish getting ready. If I was wash and wear it would be so much easier to go away. The toiletries are a killer to take. Shampoo, Conditioner, root lifter, hair spray, comb, brush, body lotion, perfume etc, etc, etc. Weighs a ton.
Have a good weekend and I'll report in on how things went when I get back.
