Update: Me? A tease???? hehehehehe

Long phone conversations...

Online flirting...

Afternoon rendezvous...

;-)

In all reality, life is pretty good. Yes, I work lots to pay the bills, but I pay them. I have not defaulted on any, and don't plan on that... ever.

I have a very secure job with a decent pension plan, and a half-assed health benefits package, but I don't get sick much so it does what I need at this point.

I have some great friends. I have a fantastic family. I am (for the most part) healthy and active. Yeah, I have aches and pains from aging and past injuries that plague me, but nothing debilitating to the point of not being able to carry life as if I were (sort of) normal.

Hey, I have never professed to be normal... that sounds much too boring , in my mind. I'd rather be thought of as quite pleasant but slightly eccentric...

I've made friends with people all around the world through the Ethernet, and although I tell myself I spend way too much time in front of the computer, it is something I enjoy and is, in a small way, mildly productive. I certainly don't fritter away hours playing games online. I have cut back on my online time and am happy with the balance in my life.

And someone from the not too distant past is re-entering the present. Who knows where that will lead? I'm quite happy to find out.

To all my American friends...

I mean, seriously!

So... met a new guy last week. Did the meet and greet thing, which went well.

We met again on Saturday and played pool, had a few drinks, yakkedity yak... usual 'first date' stuff. Was a lot of fun... we hit it off nicely.

Wed. evening, he invited me to his place for dinner. He was very drunk when I got there. Said he had been helping out his best friend all day, the two of them laying sod and drinking beer.

Okaaaaaaay. It was hot and that's pretty physical work. But come on! He knew I was coming over...

Thursday he came to my place for a BBQ. We spoke on the phone in the morning and he said he'd call in the afternoon when he'd done all this chores (mowing the grass, doing laundry, cleaning his house). Since I hadn't heard from him by 4:30, I called his house.

No answer... left a message on his machine to give me a call.

7:35 rolls around and I am *this* close to calling his machine and telling him he's stood me up, when the phone rings. He'd forgotten it was a buddy's girlfriend's 40th birthday. He'd been at the party. Figured he'd be there for half an hour... riiiiight.

Comes to my place by 8:15... drunk again. And driving yet!

Enough already. I was married to a drinker before... I have absolutely no desire to be involved with one again.

Plus... his profile says he's a nonsmoker. NOT! He smokes. Plain and simple.

So today was the email to say this ain't goin' nowhere, honey.... good luck finding a party girl who smokes.

What an idiot..... *sigh*

Crap...

It would appear that the air conditioning in my truck has crapped out. We're supposed to hit 32C today. Good thing the only driving I needed to do is now done, and it was only 25C at the time. With the humidity hovering around 80%, it's pretty sticky.

But it is now sunny and that makes my day. It started out with heavy overcast, light rain and distant thunder. Not the way I really wanted Canada Day 2010 to begin. But by noon, it had cleared and we've entered the high UV zone. Yay!

I guess the truck will need a trip to the shop to find out what's going on. It's only the beginning of summer... I can't be without a/c if it stays hot!

I sweat... lots... and that makes my mascara run. And before you tell me to wear the waterproof stuff... I can't. My eyelids don't like it one whit. So I need a sweat free zone for my travels about the city.

Guess I'll have to call tomorrow.... *sigh*
