That’s the Good Stuff….

Wow- so the last time I wrote was when I had found out that Joe was leaving, it’s now been a little over 2 weeks since he’s been gone L and a lot has happened…

As far as Joe:
The “goodbye” night went great! We wound up meeting up after my girls’ dinner for drinks and stayed out for hours talking. We ended the night with a long makeout session and him telling me how he’s going to miss me, etc. Since then- we haven’t talked on the phone (there’s a 9 hour time distance), but I have gotten several sweet text messages including:
 
“just thinking about you so wanted to say hi, hope you’re sleeping well”
“don’t want you to forget about me! Miss your face and want to see it soon! Be safe out there and don’t pick up too many guys”
“send me a picture of you so I can see your face- I miss it!”
 
And more…Yes- I have saved them all 😉 So at least even though he’s gone, he’s thinking about me and keeping in touch!
 
As far as Matt,
We went out that Friday night. He and I met my friends at Dave n Busters. Had a good time! Had fun playing the games, my friends liked him and vice versa, he finally kissed me goodnight (just a peck on the lips though- not a kiss kiss), etc.  BUT  I did have some reservations:
1.       At this point we had only been out on 2 official dates (despite the fact that we had hung out a few times also at the bar) and
a.       He didn’t even offer to take me to dinner- when it was originally supposed to be a dinner date and
b.      He asked me “are you sure you don’t want to come home with me” (um…let me see- after only 2 dates and we haven’t even kissed…ya- I’m SURE!)- I mean, wtf?
So anyway- it’s not like I was loving Matt as it is. And then after that night, I didn’t hear from him for 2 weeks. Then I get a text (go figure, right?!) :
Him:  “where have you been stranger” (to which I don’t respond so I get another text the next night)
Him: “guess you’ve been out and about doing other things”
Me: “why do you say that”
Him: “cause I haven’t heard back from you”
Me: “well, I was surprised when I didn’t hear from you for two weeks”
Him: “I went out of town for a nascar race…sorry”
Him:”so what are you up to this weekend”?
Me: “actually I am out of town in LA”
Him: “oh okay- well have fun and call me when you get back!”
 
To which I did not respond. No I will not call you. I didn’t hear from you for two weeks, after you tried to get me to go home with you, and then all I get is a text- you can’t even pick up your phone? No thank you. I didn’t see things going that far with him anyway. He was just way too quiet for my taste. And when we were out, he didn’t talk much- it was always me running the conversation and having to ask him questions, etc. sorry- movin on!
So that’ s that.
This past weekend, I went to Louisiana. I went for work- but also (and mostly) fun.  I have two clients out there, and one of my best friends, Cherie, had moved down there after the summer last year. So- the craziness began last Wednesday. Started off by meeting with one of my clients (and my favorite doctor!) Dr. G. Then he wanted to go out for drinks, so he, me, Cherie, and some of her friends headed out to the bars. Proceeded to get pretty drunk- had a great time- and also “sealed the deal” on adding another 8 doc group in Missouri! Score J Then the doctor was going out of town the next day (thankfully) so I didn’t feel like I had to entertain him anymore in the week…
Thursday- Cherie had to work, so I woke up, went to the gym, did some work, and had another work meeting. Then Cherie and I went out to eat crawfish (I LOVE crawfish and LA does it best!) and meet up with my friends Kellee and Scott who had also moved down to LA recently. Had a good time, then went to go meet up with another client for some drinks at this thing called “Rhythms at the River” which is basically a free concert/festival type thing. Fun stuff! Did I mention that there are NO open container laws in LA, and you can buy daiquiris in drive thru places?! Amazingness! 😉 That night- we went to a dance club with a bunch of people, where I proceeded to make out with her cousin (hey- she egged it on!!) who….wait for it (and NM you are sworn to secrecy! ) ….is only 19! Um yea, lol…I WILL defend myself by saying that a) he doesn’t look that young, b) my friend was egging it on cause apparently her cousin has had a “facebook crush” on me for months and c) he has awesome dance moves (I’m talkin justin timberlake style!) and we were getting down. So ya…call me Mrs. Robinson! Haha – but it was fun! And he’s a cutey with a lot of confidence for his age. Needless to say, he kind of had a thing for me the rest of the weekend, and I miiiight have kissed him more than once, but I can’t say that I didn’t have a mini-crush too and it was definitely just a fun distraction for the weekend.
<div style=”line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt”>Friday we relaxed, neither of us worked, and we went to the pool where I proceeded to get a lot of sun (and bad tan lines!), then went out again that night.
Saturday we went to the country club pool and drank free drinks (her friend works there) at the Tiki Bar all day and I flirted with my 19 year old Devin. Then went and ate some more crawfish and then went out again that night.
By Sunday I was exhausted! We went to the pool again with a few people, including Devin- (amazing how I don’t give a crap about a 19 year old seeing me in a bathing suit..lol), then watched a movie and then I headed home. Definitely a great trip for sure! Got my work stuff done, got plenty of Quality Time with Cherie, had a fun crush, got some sun, and drank like a fish. Good times! 🙂
Going back to reality (and the office) on Monday sucked! But this week is going by fast at least! Got some sweet texts from Joe again yesterday (and found out that he doesn’t have a definite date yet, but that he will be back before memorial day!!). And Devin has also been texting me since I got back. Gotta be careful with that one and hope that he realizes that I’m 10 years older than him and was just having fun! 🙂
