The Ugly Truth is playing in the background. I got it on netflix and so far it's pretty funny! But I've always liked romantic comedies and this one meets all the cute-boys-quirky-girls-dirty-jokes requirements.
On that note, I figure I should tell you that lately I've been asked out on dates a few times. I've never actually made out for one reason or the other but I guess it's nice to know I'm attractive to the opposite sex! Or the same sex... it is Miami after all. I'm always flattered when anyone compliments me - man, woman, or a very intricate mixture of the two. Hello diversity! I wouldn't have any other way!
I met one guy at a whisky tasting that was... what I like to call... yummy. So, he walked away with my business card and decided to email me the next day:
"What u doin?"
Hhhhmmm... I thought okay, let me tell him I'm exhausted after a VERY long week and enjoying a lazy day at home. So he says:
"Let's chill."
I told him to call me tomorrow so we could plan a rendezvous. The next day I got another email:
"Hey..."
Really... "Hey"???? So by now I'm wondering why he doesn't just call me or even text. I don't reply. One hour later I get another email:
"Soooooo..."
Would anyone like to explain why this character never, ever picked up the phone? On Saturday I got a text from him saying:
"Is this better than email?"
You know what's better than email???? A PHONE CALL. I guess I'm just an old-fashion gal and although I was quite impressed with his intricate written rhetoric, I realized rather quickly this wasn't my witty, intelligent, funny, amazing ex-boyfriend-to-be. Note to self: pretty gets boring way quicker than anticipated.
But wait, I actually have super duper amazing news!!!! My dad hit it off with my friend's mom and I am happy to report they are now deeply and crazy in love. IN LOVE!!! No really, my father - my responsible, serious father - got home at 8 AM from his date last week: 8 AM!!!! When was the last time I got home after 3?!?!?!? I'm ecstatic, thrilled, ebullient!!! He said to me that if he had to wait 55 years to meet the woman of his dreams, then it was all well worth it. I don't think I'm ever going to forget that:)
Nighty night. Be back soon. XOXO
I am so glad for your dad!!! I can't imagine there is a lack of invites for you, good, bad, or indifferent. There is so little not to like. Smart, witty, charming, does whisky tastings for a side job, Damn it Girl!! What is there not to like. There is nothing wrong with being selective. You do have your bliss and your bliss will see you through. There is nothing wrong with a side of beefcake now and again though. I am glad that all is well in Cindiland and I wish you much love and happiness!!
P.S. The only person I talk to on the phone is my bestie and we talk for hours at a time. She says outside of her family I am the only one she will talk to on the phone.
YAY for your Dad!! His new lady looks just lovely :) Im happy for you all.
Pretty does get boring so fast, been there done that .... ugh!
Still wish we could hang out ... it would be fun .... one day :)
Happy Studies my friend
xxmichelle
Good for your dad, that is a very sweet sentiment he had. I know I'd wait 55 years if I would have had to for finding the love of my life. Luckily I only had to go through one bad marriage and 29 crazy years to get to her. Ha! :)
Very cool for your dad. How great that you set it up too!! It's the digital age. People just don't know how to talk anymore.
Thanks Shane! You're certaintly boosting my confidence. A side of beefcake???!!!! LOL!!! I love it and you're right!!! I'm starting to think I need to order me some of that more often than not:) And I'm so excited for my Daddy.... This is honestly the most wonderful feeling in the world. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. Honestly...... And don't tell anyone....... This is starting to restore my faith in relationships. Weird how that worked, eh?
Hi Michelle! I wanna hang!!! I wanna I wanna I wanna! :)))))) One day indeed! Pretty is seriously overrated. I got a swift reminder with this guy. Thank you universe!
Daniiiiiiiii! Isn't fabulous!!!!! I'm so happy for them! And for you. I'm always in awe of good pairings and I'm very, very happy you found your lobster. C'mon get it? It's from "Friends"!
And thank you Frugalista:)))) I totally agree- this digital age sucks for courtship!
Cindy, growing to know you as I have after almost a year of reading you and chatting back and forth I can honestly say I think you deserve the world.
You're educated, passionate, drop-dead gorgeous, driven. The reason you're as tall as you are is that you need more space to fit that big heart of yours.
I know through the false-starts and occasional endearing clumsiness you'll meet him. For now perhaps you can play around in the sandbox a little until you find someone who can build you a castle.
Okay, where the hell did that cheesy analogy come from??
And yay for your dad, I think that's awesome!!
xoxo
Aaaawww shucks Barry... that's just too sweet:) Thank you. I really appreciate your nice words. Awesome analogy by the way... I'd like to think I bring the poet out in you. Or is it vice versa?!?! Hhhhmmm.... I just had dinner with Dad and I'm at his house typing this while he watches some soccer game on television. I told him about yummy-but-dopey guy and he says I'm way too quick to judge. That maybe I should give people more of a face-to-face chance and not rule them out based on a few emails. He said that maybe Mr. One-line-email was just so taken back by me that he just couldn't get his fingers to dial my number. Ha! That's just what dads are supposed to say:) I told him I pretty much knew he wasn't Mr. Wonderful but since he was pretty I figured a date wouldn't hurt. But like I said, pretty got old reeeeeeeeeal quick.
Yay for Dad indeed!!!!
3 cheers 4 ur dad and 4 u 2 darling the way u have taken dis cool. your post is really cute
Very happy to hear about your dad.. yay! And I completely relate to feeling flattered when being asked out on a date. It is definitely validating. I would have been turned off by the first "what you doin" text.. you gave him 3 more..
Yes,it is very nice to know you're attractive...each one of needs that every once in a while,don't we? :)
