Happy Holidays

On Friday I heard from Daddy Warbucks. For those of you who don't read my blog regularly, after dating a few different guys on match, I narrowed it down to Warbucks and my current boyfriend. This past summer he asked me to go out on a specific weekend, and I said sure, and then he basically told me he'd let me know when he decided if it would be good for him. In response to his diva move, I told him we could just do it another weekend, and then I never heard from him again. I think he thought that if he played hardball, I'd get desperate, come back crawling to him, and then he could have his way. But I never did contact him, and I was surprised to hear from him on Friday. It was a long series of texts. I told him I had a boyfriend and I was very loyal, and then he wrote me, "I'm always here if you ever need me, Santa." And then he sent me a link of his latest television appearance, probably thinking that would change my mind and I'd abandon who I'm with now. I had to laugh. That man is incorrigible. His clip WAS impressive, but it's definitely over. He then asked me to send him a recent photo of myself. So I sent him this photo, and that seemed to end things between us:

In the end, I'm very happy with who I'm with now.

Speaking of, my BF took me to the local Nutcracker on Saturday with his son... or rather, I dragged them there. They were complaining the whole time before, but after watching it, they admitted they really liked it! I liked it, too, but it wasn't the best I've seen. I mean, the costumes and special effects were spectacular and unlike anything I'd ever seen before- fireworks, beautiful lights, smoke and everything to really put on a show. It was a visual wow-fest. But the dancing was mediocre. Nobody danced en sync, which made a lot of the dances look really sloppy. Their form was great, but if you've ever been to a ballet where all of the dancers actually dance perfectly en sync, it's totally shocking and amazing. It's hard to go from that to watching a show where they land or turn five seconds apart, and they're not even meant to stagger.

Anyway, that night his son asked him again if we were going to get married. The first time his son asked a few months ago, I was in a weird frame of mind about the institute of marriage, but the idea is growing on me. I don't know how my BF feels. Either way, it's a long way off, for sure. Even if we both wanted to get married after a month of knowing one another, neither one of us is the type to do that. We're both way too cautious and would feel it necessary to date for at least a year before deciding on something like that.

Went to dinner with an old college friend last night. She's heading out of the country to take a job overseas. It's sad to see her go, as I've known her well for like ten years now and consider her a good friend, but not too sad, as I do feel I'll see her again. Plus, I'm very excited for her. Bon Voyage, Z!

Well, I have so much to do... my flight leaves today, and I have yet to pack, clean the house or figure out what I'm doing with our doggy. My sister's friend was going to dog-sit and she flaked. Panic time! Okay, happy Holidays!
