so lucky

Friend did NOT blow me off, and did in fact go check on my kitty while I was away.  Words from my previous blog, eaten.  I was wrong.

Good thing too because we extended our stay in Florida, totaling 9 days away!  It rained quite a bit so not every day was spent on the beach but we managed to get our time in.  We even got a couple of hours in at the Nudie Beach before the skies turned black and the thunder chased us off the beach.  The waves were incredible.  This time, I was smart and stayed out of the water and did NOT almost drown in the nude.  Although, it would be exactly how I entered this world, it's not how I want to leave it.

I love New Smyrna Beach and the friends that invited me to go with them and stay at their home for a second year.  I was sad to leave.  Usually after a few days with someone i'm ready for some alone time but we three vibe so well and naturally that not once did I feel stressed out.  I hope it was the same for them.  They are so generous and laid back.  They've already invited me again for next year!

We spent time on the beach, rented a boat for the day, went shopping, had a bar crawl night, and they treated me to The Garlic which is my most favorite restaurant.  We had ice cream at a Dairy Queen built in the 1950's (several times) and took rides around Daytona and surrounding towns doing some site seeing aka looking at rich people homes.  

I slept like a baby every night and woke up refreshed and ready to go - coffee was always ready for a pour.  We drank.  A lot.  And gummied.  A lot.  I lathered on Ben Gay and tried to keep up with the youngsters.  I felt completely taken care of, not in a charity way, but a family way.

Miyagi basked in the air conditioning while we were at the beach but he came with us out and about.  He wasn't too sure about the yard and was NOT impressed with the beach at all.

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...

Secrets

 Yesterday I found myself telling someone something about my life that I had not planned on sharing.  We don't really talk too much about our past relationships.  We aren't there yet and i don't know that it's really important.  It's not a race to the finish line.  There is time.   This was just the natural time to share the information. I have very few regrets in my life, some things i may have done differently, but even so, without regret.  Everything has brought me to who i am today.  This got me thinking of how much I've changed, that i would not even put the energy into defending anything I've done because i don't have to, and because i don't want to, or need to.  This also brought to mind how often judgement used to rule my world, and how I felt about myself. I married very young, to my high school boyfriend.  For many reasons, all i ever wanted (in my wisdom of 21 years) was to get married, have babies, and live happily ever ...
