You know what, I lied... I'm not just a little ticked off... I'm pissed!!! He was very apologetic and thanked me for being understanding but WTF?

Date...

Well, Trent just called me and asked me to re-schedule our date... I am a little ticked off because I've spent the last week preparing for it but I had to be understanding because he just got back after spending a year in Iraq and hadn't had a chance to see family yet. We decided on getting together next Saturday. I think he also called to talk to me and figure out if he still wanted to see me. We have only been communicating via short messages on facebook and those were mostly clever remarks back and forth about nothing. I guess I charmed him throughout our conversation because he told me he was very excited about seeing me next Saturday...
I guess, I'll just party it up with friends this weekend.
Happy Friday!

Short and Sweet

A real note on my neighbors' door: "Looking for friends. Ours suck. Knock on the door." HAHAHA!

I am so busy, I don't have time to think of anything insightful to write about so I'll just give you an update on my life:
  • Went to my Alma Mater for the weekend with my friend D. We had a blast road-tripping until it started snowing 30 miles away from our destination! Yes, snowing! It started looking like freaking Christmas within minutes. It was coming down so hard that I could barely see the front of my car. All I kept thinking: "There is no way I can die in a snow storm in the middle of April!" Haha!
  • We had a blast visiting some old friends and doing the "memory walk" through all of the bars we used to party at.
  • We stayed at my "adopted mother's" house (we adopted each other a long time ago). She is the best cook in the world! I think I gained 20 lbs over two days ;-)
  • I have to travel to Wisconsin and then straight to Chicago from there next week, so I'll be gone the whole week next week.
  • Things to do by this Friday: do the 15,000 things that need to get done at work, go buy a nice suit and a pair of shoes to match for the trip next week, loose at least 10 lbs, clean house, do laundry. I wish I could clone myself!
  • The date with Trent (my long lost ex-date) is this Friday. He is coming down on Fri evening and staying the night (in the hotel, mind you). I am really anxious/excited/antsy/nervous about seeing him. I don't know what to expect but I feel like there might be something there, for some reason...

I'd better get cracking!

The new job responsibilities are overwhelming! I am also hungover because I had a brilliant idea to go out on a Wed. night for a little bit... well, the evening turned out to be super fun and I was stumbling into my house at 2am before I knew it... I actually felt pretty good when I woke up at 7am... I was probably still drunk at that point... It is now 1:20pm and I am hurting... No more time for blogging today. Gotta go concentrate!

My Life is Far from Ordinary... My Card is American Express...


Oh yes, my friends, this last weekend was amazing! I whored it up, got my drink and dance on; ate some great food, made some cool friends, etc!


My Latino Stud lived up to my expectations. I was a little hesitant about taking him home at first but then I decided to live in a moment and enjoy life as it comes. He is a little strange but so hot and funny! Nothing serious will come out of that but it was so worth it! I am tired of being proper. I just realized that I am finally making up for the last 4 years.


You see, the last place i lived at before moving to this town, was a very small town in the middle of Illinois. I had almost no social while there (two reasons: 1. I worked 50-60 hours a week and went to grad school full time - not much time left; 2. absolutely no single males older than 21 or younger than 50 in that area, thus no dating). Then I moved to this town and had a hard time finding friends for the first year; therefore, not much of a social life again. Basically I spent 4 years missing out on the things that a girl my age should have been doing.


That changed last Fall. I found some great friends to spend time with so I am planning on getting the craziness out of my system by the time I turn 30 (I am turning 27 this year so I got a way to go ;-) Most of my friends around here are still in college, so I am extending my college years. Great times!


Happy Monday.
The three guys in the picture are some of the guys from the party (the one on the right is Latino Stud). I had to cut off the heads to protect their identities, sorry. Enjoy the view though ;-)

OMG!!!

First of all, I went to heaven last night! I am not even kidding! I partied with the men's college swimming and diving team! If you don't understand what that means, turn your TVs to the channel that's broadcasting swimming and check out their bods! I don't know about all of the swimmers but this particular group is crazy. Before I knew it, they were all taking their shirts off while dancing.

This one particular latino swimmer danced with me the whole night. I know he is a total man-whore but so hot! It took everything I had not to take him home... but he called me and I couldn't resist... he is coming over in 30 minutes... I just realized how long it's been...

Have a good weekend! I know I am!

So I was sitting here at work feeling completely unmotivated. I just finished a large project that I worked on the whole weekend so I didn't feel like doing anything else productive today. That is why I ventured off into the blog land and read several posts about when the girls should agree to have sex with the guys they are dating... Of course, the consensus was that they should wait for a while.
Well, I agree with that even though I've struggled with that a couple of times in the past myself. There are thousands of articles out there on the subject... However, I always wondered about the technical side of that.
It's easy to say that nobody should do it too soon but what exactly do you say when you are in the middle of a heavy petting session and things are progressing fast? How do you get out of that kind of a situation without sounding like a prude or an immature dork? I am 26 years old, so I can't exactly say that I am not sure if I want to give up my virginity just yet... What are some graceful ways to deal with the situation? How do you stay sexy yet mysterious?


I picked my sister's brain about it (she only works at a CPA firm and it's only the hottest time of the tax season right now, so there's no reason why she can't take a break and discuss the important matters with me on the company time). Her suggestion was - not putting yourself in the situation where things can get too hot and heavy, i. e. stick to the public places for the first several dates. She has a point but it is not always realistic so I'd like to hear some other words of wisdom... Anyone?

Technical Difficulties

Oooops! I clicked on different templates in the blogger just out of curiousity, didn't realize it was going to change my template and erase all of my links without confirming with me...
I will add my blogroll back as soon as I have some time to spare!
I stopped including the Fitness Updates for a while... Bad... Not much to be proud of there but i am really serious about it from now on for the following reasons:
  • just bought a super sexy bikini and...
  • it looks like crap when I put it on...
  • because I need to loose about 8-10 pounds and...
  • the management of my apartment complex just informed us that the swimming pool will be opening in about 3 weeks!

No more excuses!

Fitness update:
Weight : 162 lbs :-(
Cardio: 60 minutes on elliptical
Weightlifting Class: 60 minutes

Promotion and Blast from the Past



I just found out on Friday that I got a promotion and I’m freaking out because I don’t think I’m qualified for it!!! Aaargh!
I’m such a dork: my big corporate boss left me a voicemail last Wednesday and told me to call him on Friday to chat about this new position that I applied for two months ago and haven't heard anything about since. That’s all he said so I thought he was going to give me an update on the process but he started interviewing me when I called. I was so unprepared! Then he told me about how he has two people in his region that applied for this job (I know the other person, she has some 15 years of experience and way more qualified than me) and he wishes he could use both of us but, unfortunately, there is only one position, blah-blah-blah... So I thought he was telling me that because the other person was going to get the job and he was just politely saying, “thanks for playing, try again”, so I sort of stopped paying close attention to what he was saying… Than he goes, “Well, I’d like to informally offer you the position!” I almost fell off the chair!


This job is not going to require relocation. I will still be responsible for the account I work at now but I will also consult 4 other accounts in Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. More travel, a lot more responsibility, a little more money and lots of things to prove!!! I've got my work cut out for me!

On a different note, I received an email from Trent this morning asking me if I'd like to hang out when he gets back to the area. Interesting story here: Trent and I went out on a few dates back in college some 5 or 6 years ago!!! I remember him being a nice and cute guy but the timing wasn't right for me so I dumped him (even though in order to surprise me on my birthday, he drove for 4 hours to an upscale grocery store to buy me a jar of black caviar for $60 because I mentioned that I liked it). We lost touch. Fast forward to last year. I was doing the whole online dating thing and noticed a profile of a guy who lived within an 1.5 hours from me. He looked painfully familiar but I couldn't quite remember who he was. I emailed him and turned out that it was Trent but he was currently in Iraq for another year or so. We emailed back and forth a few times but I started dating someone and we stopped talking again... Well, apparently, he is back in the States, coming back to Missouri in the near future. Is this a sign? Crazy story, huh?
