Back in Bed in These Foolish Things

What a wonderful Saturday! I have done nothing but get out of bed, walk the dog, get a manicure (no pedi because I was wearing boots this morning - because…) brunch with the girls, second brunch with the girls, second walk with the dog and then back to bed!

Brunch was so nice we did it twice! The first part of brunch was our normal brunchy brunch inside a beautiful new restaurant where it’s very hard to get rezzies. We’re talking hot, hot HOT! By the time our lovely brunch was over, the weather had gotten so gorgeous outside and the patio was calling our names…so we took our group outside and brunched all over again! So. Much. Fun!!!

Then home to give the dog some extra special love and a good long walk because I was gone for so long. I took her out to the awesome taco place and we sat outside and had veggie tacos! Why was I so hungry today??

During my walk, I got some texts from SexyPants who happened to be in his hometown to attend a football game. He was horribly wasted from day drinking and apparently had fallen down and busted his head open and needed to get liquid stitches in his forehead. Long story short, he’s still texting me and I feel like I’ve opened this weird can of drunken worms. I hope he’s okay - his nephew (they’re at the football game together) is just as drunk and he got on the phone with me and told me that SP has a concussion and is worse than he’s letting on. What can I do about it? Nothing. And to be honest, the drunken texts and photos are kind of hilarious. But I do hope he’s okay.

Meanwhile, I’m still not sure about the Big Wild Rancher. I’ve heard a little bit from him. I suppose he’s been having a fine time in Vegas with his friends. Today at brunch, Maria talked with me about him and convinced me to take it slow and see how it goes with him. He’s been busy doing his thing and these last couple of weeks have been really important to him, so perhaps he’s just been out of character.

I’ll cut him some slack, but at the same time, my next couple of weeks are going to be very busy as well with work and then vacation, so I won’t really have time for him. I suppose it will be the beginning of November before I see him again. So slowing this thing down to a pause is not a bad thing.

I’ve started a document that lists out all of the things that I’m looking for in a partner and a relationship and I’ve gotten really specific. I want to use that as a living document to manifest the true/right person I need in my life. I feel like I’ve let things happen willy nilly lately (or really, my whole life, I guess) and it’s now or never to attract the RIGHT person. Because I haven’t really done that - ever.

Simultaneously, I need to do that with my LIFE. I did make an appointment with my financial advisor for Monday at lunchtime. I need to talk with him about my investments and finally getting a will together and figuring out what I want the rest of my life to look like. It’s time to get my shit together for reals.

I’ll close this for now. I’m warm and snuggly and tucked into bed - which has become my favorite place to be lately.

OH wait! I had a super weird dream last night about a guy I went out with ONCE maybe 10 years ago (we’re “friends” now - but really only on Facebook). I dreamed that I was supposed to get married and the guy I was marrying stood me up at the altar so somehow I married this OTHER guy that I’d gone out with once and when the deed was done I was trying to figure out how I was gonna live with this guy without knowing him really at all! Hmmmm. Interesting, no?

Okay. I’ll go now. There’s TV to watch and snuggling with the dog to be done. G’nite!

Loads of love from my bed,
