The Weekend Blew By in These Foolish Things

Well, I didn’t have to ask Steve McQueen out…because HE asked ME out again. Again, it was last-minute (on Saturday to see if I was available the next day), which…that’s fine. I feel like I’m doing a pretty good job of being just available enough without being unavailable, you know? I told him that I was busy during the day but could do a couple of cocktails/snacks in the evening.

So now we’ve been on 5 official dates. And I think he likes me because he’s taken me out on 5 official dates, but he’s either taking this thing very, very, very slowly or he’s just meh about me.

And last night I thought I’d shake it up a bit by inviting him up to my apartment at the end of the date - to meet my dog and to have a nightcap…and whatever else (no, not sleep with him, but maybe give him a little peek into my world, you know?).

But he didn’t take that as a green light to try anything more than a kiss, and that was after we’d walked all the way back downstairs so I could take the dog out for a potty break.

So. Weird. Not really understanding the vibe he’s giving out. I also talked too much again. AND I now know he has a problem child. Not as bad as Sexy Pant’s son, but not a good kid, either.

Hm. That’s about all I know about SMcQ right now.

The rest of the weekend was nice, I guess.

Friday at work kicked my ass (OH, Boss DID talk with my team about 20 seconds before I was due to give reviews) - the reviews were okay…I did hear some complaints, but I think that they are just beaten down too. Went home from work, ate some peanut butter and apples, walked the dog and went to bed.

Saturday I had to do a rental car switch-out (long story…still don’t have MY car back), did a long walk, and then Maria asked me if she could take me to dinner to have an early birthday celebration. It was nice, but she can be soooooo aggressive that I get uncomfortable. The good news is that she gave me some advice about negotiating for the potential new gig, and I thought that was excellent food for thought, and she bought me a really nice dinner.

Sunday I had a meeting set up with a woman I’d never met who is interested in starting an apparel company, and I was referred as a potential consultant by Lovely Leah. The weather was stunning and we met at this new restaurant halfway between our homes and sat outside in the most gorgeous setting. I could have sat there all day and talked to her…and it did take a long time because she went on and on about how awesome her product is going to be, but she wouldn’t tell me WHAT IT WAS!!!

Then she asked me if I’d be interested in taking on a project and I said maybe…but you gotta tell me WHAT you want to make! I told her that I’d be happy to meet with her again and if she wants me to sign an NDA I’d be fine with that, but I’m not going to steal her idea! Sheesh.

Then Sunday night was all Steve McQueen.

And here I am, back at work…living the dream.

Happy Monday!
