My scuba friend "Chris" pretty much ordered me out Friday night - he's been worried about me and insisted that I get out. He drove 45 mins to pick me up to take me to a club he frequents.
For the fashion record, I wore a rather short black skirt, a wispy/scarfy black camisole and strappy platformy 4inch black heels. (And for the perverts, my underthings were black too.)
The club wasn't my scene. (Hardly anyone was dancing anyway) I've never really been into the club scene anyway. But "Chris" was a doll. I enjoyed watching him - he is in his element there. He rarely left my side. But I was approached by a couple of men when I was going to the restroom or he had gone to get a drink, etc. I wasn't in the mood - I just avoided eye contact. Honestly, I was pretty bored and cold most of the night. However, I adore "Chris" but we are both looking for different things. (He's going thru a divorce and not looking for a relationship and I am - or at least I think I am...) He got me home after 3am and we talked some more. He's livid about the "Ned" situation and is tempted to address things with "Ned" man -to-man to keep his gf in line. (Sounds so caveman-ish, doesn't it? LOL I understand he's protective of me and sees how much all the extraneous drama has been adding to my frustration)
Slept until 11am. Sat outside in the hammock for a while and read. Caught up with SheSpecies on the phone for a while. (She has GOT to quit dating women with the same name - gets me too confused!)
Was supposed to get together with another friend last night for dinner/movie but he called me at 8, saying he was still at the pool and he was drunk. (Rather irritated by that - I could have gone out with another friend instead.) Good thing I hadn't gotten gussied up or he would have had hell to pay. Wanted to make it up to me today. Don't know if I'm in the mood or not. If so, there will be groveling involved. A lot.
Since someone bailed on me with picking peaches yesterday, I'm about to head back up on the ladder and pick the 2nd batch. I'll be more careful. NO standing on tip-toes on the ladder. I promise.
BTW - I miss April.

I love the phrase gussied up :)
Guys who think it's ok to call with the excuse that they got too drunk for a planned date have another think coming. (another phrase I love)
Where is our April?

April is having some, shall we say, more month than money left and she didn't have the funds for her internet access.
I sent her a care package about a week ago. I hope it brightened her day. Wish she'd send me a note. I told her to get her arse on the computer at her library and send me an email - but not a peep from her yet. I'll be sure to let everyone know when I hear from her.

I don't have patience for those kind of 'casual' plans. Either we are getting together or not. It is so rude to leave someone hanging like that. I would never do that.
