Ten Things - Weekend Style in These Foolish Things

I started this entry LAST Monday, so the first few items are about the weekend before this one. I wish I could just keep up, though this weekend was similar to last, so they’re kind of interchangeable. Here goes….

Had a really wonderful weekend – a lot of me time and I’d love much, much more. My apartment is still a mess, though I did get some organizing in. I just don’t have it in me to do a thorough job of scrubbing. I don’t know if it’s because the weather is too hot or I’m just too freaking exhausted from the workweek, but I just want to sleep for a day or so…but then I hate missing the weekend so I end up getting out and about.

Did a lot of walking with the dog. I don’t remember if I’d mentioned that I met Martini’s twin at the small dog park close to my house a couple of times. He’s a DARLING little chiweenie-looking dog and they look almost exactly alike, except for the fact that his coat is smooth and Martini’s is wiry. Anyway, the dog’s name is Jack, and his owner seemed interesting and possibly available/single and very friendly. I took a picture of the dogs together and he asked me to text the photo to him, so I thought he might have been angling for my phone number. Ha. So yesterday, M and I went walking early in the morning and we came across another look-alike pup! This time, walking with a really pretty woman, and I asked the dog’s name, and she said, “Jack.” OH! I told her that we’d met Jack before, and she said oh yeah, my boyfriend had mentioned Martini too! Ugh. Everybody’s coupled up.

Tinder can suck a giant wang. I don’t know why I keep going back to that crazy app, but I do. I’m actually thinking about maybe tip-toeing back onto OKCupid because it feels like there’s a lot more thought put into it. Did I tell you about last Sunday with The Redhead? I don’t normally go out with guys who could potentially look like my brother, but this guy was extremely handsome AND extremely interested, so I took a chance. Anyway, I met The Redhead on Tinder, and while he was originally super sexy-sweet, it quickly took a turn for the obscene with him sending me hard-on pix. No, they weren’t naked dick…but they were boners in boxer briefs (ha). And though they were offing H.O.T., my heart still sank because I guess I want something more..I don’t know…natural? Like, who else is he sending these photos to? Regardless, he’s from a distant city, but works for a company in the city close to mine. Long story, we met in person. See next point.

I owe you not one, not two, but three RADs now. I can’t keep up with this shit. Nor do I really want to, I guess. Let’s just say I owe you three very different RADs. I am actually looking forward to comparing and contrasting them. But I’m also depressed about the man situation these days.

And I still pine a little for The Bulldog. But I guess that’s how I work. I need a distraction from the distraction that was the BD. Sad.

Work simply blows, but I don’t feel like writing about that too much.

I also don’t feel like writing about diet and exercise either.

What I’d really love to write about is taking time off and time away. I’m trying to book a trip to Argentina over Christmas or during the holidays. I am swirling in information and can’t really decipher it all. I want to take a guided trip (group tour?) with possibly other singles through the wine country of South America (Argentina and perhaps Chile). I can’t find a group tour that’s not under $5000 (NOT including airfare), and I don’t want to spend that much…that’s just ridiculous. But I don’t want to go on the super cheap either. I want to be comfortable but not extravagant. Is that so much to ask? Anybody know anything about doing this solo? Better yet…anybody want to go with me? :)

Bedtime now. I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to do my RADs this week, but I’ll try. I love you!! So much!
