THE WEEK...............

So, today is Thursday and it has been a busy week so far. I had a two hour meeting Tuesday night, Wednesday evening was dinner with my ex neighbor.  We always have a great time together and it is fun to catch up with her.  She and her husband travel a lot so it is few and far between our getting together. We had a couple drinks and bar food and spent two and a half hours chatting.

The boy front has been busy too.  Dez is leaving for his job site in the Southeast and several other States.  He will probably be back in a couple weeks.  He says he will see me before June but I'll believe that when it happens.  He is going fishing with his buddies and son in Canada for the Memorial Day weekend so he will have to squeeze time in sometime before.  We were both happy with our date on Saturday and reaffirmed we really had a great time.

I have a man contacting me that is a retired Professor that lives in Florida.  He is from Holland and is a widower.  I don't know why he is contacting me as Florida is on the other coast and I certainly don't want him here nor do I plan on going there to meet him.  Oh well, I guess people are just bored and want to communicate. He is requesting an IM on Yahoo.  I don't think that is going to happen.

Today is lunch with a man that lives in the area and then my Doctor friend for dinner tonight.  Seems food seems to be the center of every one's world.

Vet man has been touching base as always, but is so busy with traveling and Vet things that I haven't seen him.  I don't have much time anyway as things are busy, busy for me.

Linkedin, which is a professional site, brought me a contact that I may have seen several years ago, I really don't remember.  He obviously wasn't someone I wanted to date or he would have been around.  He sent me his phone number and said he is now retired and would I call him.  Weird!  I just don't remember him.

The man from Newport Beach that I told I didn't want to have dinner with, is still pushing for dinner.
It is amazing to me that men can't take no for an answer. He gave me an excuse that coffee wouldn't work because he didn't get back into town from NYC and then had to go to his office.  After looking at his picture again it would be a waste of my time.  Not to mention I really don't want to spend two hours with someone at a dinner in a restaurant that I may not like.

If Dez hadn't told me I should find a "supplemental" while he was on the road so I could go out I wouldn't probably be doing this.  It is usually a disappointment and I do hate to go out with people that I feel no connection to whatsoever. Frankly I don't need the food. Dez is right though, I can't sit around waiting for him to appear although that is okay too.  I have enough to do and I don't mind my own company.

My friends called yesterday to invite me to a Mother's Day Brunch.  See, more food.  I swear I'll never lose more weight this way.

I'm continuing this Blog on Friday after my lunch and dinner date.  The lunch date was really a bust.  He certainly didn't look like his picture and was overweight, no moustache and had a pronounced limp from a broken leg and appeared much older then his supposed sixty one.  How special!  He was nice enough but was looking for a permanent relationship.  Not going to happen with this girl.

Then last night the Dr. picked me up in his snazzy Caddie.  He is a nice man, two years younger then I am but looks and acts a lot older.  He is slight, not quite six foot tall, much to his dismay, but again a nice man.  He took me to Bistango, which was a little hard for me to go to as Dez and I had just been there Saturday night.  The food is wonderful and the service was good.  It was an enjoyable evening but very benign. I kept thinking, what was i doing with this old man.

I am always honest with the men I do go out with, which are few and far between.  I tell them about Dez and tell them that I basically am looking for a supplemental while Dez is out of town.  This Dr. said he was applying for the position and would I please consider him.  I thought that was pretty funny.  I will probably not see him again, although he would like to see me. I've encouraged him to keep looking on the dating site.  I told him he shouldn't limit himself and that there were a lot of gals out there that would love to be with him.  He turned around and asked me out for tonight.  He said he had never met anyone like me.  Probably not.

I have a meeting early Saturday, so I told him if we did go out for a drink and a bite to eat it would have to be early and I needed to get home early. It will just be the Elephant Bar. I was suppose to go to a Vet meeting the night we did go out, but I totally forgot about it.  My ride called and I sent him a text that Bistango sounded a lot better then a Vet meeting.  He agreed. 

Going out usually is a bore.  I compare the time I have with these guys to Dez and there is no comparison.  We not only like each other, we really like each other.  It is to bad that we don't see each more, but then maybe it wouldn't be so special when we do. Really staying home is better then going out and counting the minutes until you can get back home.

 I sometimes wish I hadn't met Dez as he set the bar high even if he is not the kind of guy that a women should want.  There is a level of fun that we have that I don't have with anyone else.  Good Lord you would think I'd be over that by now, but it just seems to get stronger with each passing month.  We have been seeing each other for the last twenty months....time goes fast when your having fun.  I think I've been through ever gamut of emotion with him and it does keep us connected somehow.  There are no strings between us and as long as I keep that in my mind and just take it for what it is I'll be fine.

So I'm keeping busy...Mother's Day I'm going to brunch with a group of people I know and it should be a nice day. 

Happy Mother's Day to all.
