Today was pretty amazing. Let me tell you all the good that has happened today.
First of all, let's start w/ how I was flattered today. I woke up to a text message from a guy I met last Friday. This wasn't a match date or anything. I met him while having a drink at Little Woodrow's. We sat and people watched for about 3 hours. We had great conversation. We were making up stories about total strangers and laughing our asses off. Anyway, I received a text message from him that just said, "You make me smile." I wrote back, "I'm not even up yet, how's that possible?" He said, "You are such an interesting person, I'm intrigued by you." I said, "What's so interesting about a single mom of 3 boys who goes to a bar and takes her phone as her date?" He said, "See? And your sense of humor. I need to see you again." At this point, I was awake but needed to get the boys ready. I got to the office and wrote, "Ahhh, you wanted in my pants. I know the lines. I'm not intrigued." He wrote back, "No, actually, that was the best conversation I've had w/ a total stranger in years, if ever."
Then mid-morning, I get a text from a guy I went on a Match.com date w/ last weekend. This guy is actually becoming funnier and funnier to me. He said, "I miss you." I said, "What's there to miss? Me, busting your chops and making you sweat and refusing to kiss you?" He said, "I buckle to my knees, Khaki, there you go again." I sent back a smiley face to which he said, "I miss your accent. LOVE the accent." I wrote back, "wtfe, you've lost your mind." He said, "please come to the hockey game w/ me on Saturday." I said, "I can't, got 3 dates w/ some blue eyed blonde headed boys." To which he responded, "I'll get my boys and your boys tickets then." I said, "No, you won't, but thank you." He's still begging.
Then I get a text from an old high school friend, JH, that has been really good to me lately. He's been the perfect medicine to my heart. He shoots straight with me and I appreciate that. It was just a simple good morning text but very nice.
Then, Clint, from match who I talked to for the first time last night. This was a funny conversation. He kept winking at me and finally I sent him a reply that I don't respond to winks. I explained that I've been on Match.com for a week, one week, and have 746 profile views, 206 winks, and 43 emails. Then he started asking me how he could improve his profile. So, I told him. We ended up talking for about 50 minutes and it was nice. Very friendly conversation. Someone who I'd like to have as a friend, actually. He sent me a text that said, "You know, you are so easy to talk to and to think, I almost thought you were too pretty to even wink at."
Even though I've heard all those things before, it's still nice. I'm a bit of a skeptic considering I'm still hurt by the break-up w/ JR and he said all of those things. What's funny is he never really told me I was pretty. I mean, he did, some. But times when I tried really hard, he never did. I've heard it more from Chris, the match guy I went to the comedy club in the past 4 days than w/ Jefferson.
Work sucked actually, well good and bad. We were going 90 miles an hour and every single one of us missed our deadline. The boss wasn't that unhappy about it. I mean, she wasn't thrilled but I still have an ass....and a job. And there were a few times I stood my ground on some of the entries and she complimented me. That felt nice. It would feel nicer if the financials were done.
THEN, the highlight of my day was watching the boys swim tonight. I looked forward to this all day long. Kyan swam underwater by himself. He and Kasyn had moved up levels. Poor Kam, would rather watch the time clock but we'll work on him. I was so proud of them. Words can't express how good it felt. It was hard to watch all three of them being in different classes. I am so ready to be "THAT" mom.....
