very happy right now :)

today was a good day!  i didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, i was waiting for sunshine to come over.  he didn’t (he was tired after work) but he doesn’t get off work till around 2:30am so i didn’t find that out.  after i did, i went to bed. 

anyway, today i had a great time hanging out with my friends.  my friend that had the butterfly wedding (the wedding my ex was in that i was sooooo nervous about) invited me over for football and food.  i originally said maybe but then i changed my mind.  i hadn’t really hung out with her in a while and its always fun to watch football with her and her hubby and friends.  so, i went over there and we graded and chatted and gossiped.  it was so nice!  i got a ton of grading done (not all, but a large chunk, much more than i would have gotten done alone at home), and i left at half time during the 2nd game.  when i got home, i got 3 loads of laundry washed and i folded and IRONED!  i NEVER iron!  but, my work pants look so nice and crisp now.  i guess looking nice and crisp is better than baggy and sloppy which is how they look now that i lost 30 POUNDS!  yep, i reached the 30 lb mark this morning 🙂  its very exciting and i’m so happy that i finally chose to do weight watchers. 

so, i’m ironing, watching extreme home makeover (i’ve only seen it one other time, but its a good show to iron too), and my phone beeps, alerting me that i have a text message.  right away, i think "i want it to be the new guy asking me what i’m making for dinner this week."  last wednesday when he came over for dinner, i told him how i’m trying to actually cook once a week.  i had said something on facebook about making a grocery list so i was hoping he was putting 2 and 2 together and wanted to get an invite for a meal again.  as i walked to my phone, i thought, "its probably not him, it is never him when i want it to be." AND IT WAS HIM!  he asked what i was doing and i told him ironing.  he replied "sounds like fun.  wish i could help you."   i wrote back "i do too haha!" he said "its too late for me.  plus i’ve been drinking.  you could come this if you like."  (i think he meant this way).  i said that i wished i could, but i had one more load of laundry in the dryer and i was still ironing.  besides, by the time i got there, i would have to turn around and go home.  he said "damn your teaching.  i can’t drive now.  but id love to see you."  (his spelling was getting worse, so i’ve fixed it here).  i said "it would be nice to see you too!  maybe one night this week?" and he replied "ok." 

that was the extent of our conversation, but its a step in the right direction!  now, one of us just needs to follow up and invite the other over or whatever.  and i’m sure he texted me cause he was drunk and probably horny.  but, i’m still hesitant.  i know he saw his ex this weekend (he had his daughter and his ex hadn’t seen her since march). and i’m not sure how i feel about that.  i kinda want this time to be a "real" relationship.  but, right now, i’ll take the baby steps.  🙂
