Well I can honestly say that today was an interesting day.
I woke up this morning half expecting there to be banging and pounding from outside. Since we are having the roof on the house redone. But, no. No noise nothing at all but some birds chirping outside. Which is nothing to complain about.
I had to work today and since that wasn't until four, I decided that there were some things I'd like to get done since I didn't really have anything to do. I had to wash my stained Black Hawks jersey for the game tomorrow since there is a white out and that was my top priority of the day. I knew that the stains were from mustard so I did what my mom would of done and applied Dawn dish soap right on the stains. While I let that set in and do its magic, I gave myself a much needed pedi. I put the jersey in the wash and decided to wait for the cycle to complete that way it wouldn't sit in the washer. I did my hair and make-up for work. hung the jersey up to dry then headed off to work.
Where I work has to be one of the most interesting places to work, and its not just because its retail either. The people I work with are like a very dysfunctional family that somehow make everything work and rock at what we do. We share a lot with each other and advice seems to be one of our biggest strong suits. So today, when I got a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach my work family was there to help me out. This feeling, is what I'll refer to as the "Almost, Coulda, Shoulda, Date that needs to happen soon" feeling. I've been "talking" to a guy for what I think is an ample amount of time. We have discussed meeting a few times and when it comes to things of this nature I am a very impatient person. He lives about an hour away which is decent compared to some of the other contacts I have received. (If I like you and you contact me through the Internet and after a certain amount of time if you haven't failed what I call the beautiful test and haven't managed to bore me, which is not an easy task. Then I feel that I can then make a further evaluation as to whether or not a face to face meeting would be appropriate.) In this case I think it to be very appropriate. I feel he has potential to be a good choice for a friend or maybe more if the comfort level is there.
So, basically what I was told was to grow some balls, don't beat around the bush, be direct, and to calm myself down. I did exactly three out of the four on that list with some help and encouragement but, was very kindly shot down for this weekend because he had already made plans.
The funny thing was that he actually asked if I was going to the hockey game(s) this weekend and, I was surprised. As a rational person I don't expect anyone to go and look things up so that they know whats going on in the town in which I live. It's just too complicated and most guys don't pay that much attention to the tiny details like that. There are many ways to prove that you care about what the person you're talking to is passionate about or interested in, or just to show you care in general. But this was not something I ever expected. It caught me off gaurd and actually made me smile the ear to ear smile that has been missing from my face for awhile. But even better than that, I got the confirmation that in the near future I will get to meet this guy. Excited is a word that may be to small for the feeling I have right now, elated may be a better term. That was basically my day. I thought that since I couldn't sleep and this is what was on my mind, I would share it with you. Hope you find my day as good as how I lived it.
Until Next Time
