Tuesday

This is just like a soap opera! Here is my thing: i am not in high school anymore. if i like someone, i am going to let them know. That being said. In discussions with some friends regarding "hot" guy. I decided to wait this out and let him make the first move.. . sort of "chase" me. Well, my girlfriend was bugging me last night so i caved and texted him @ 10 pm. Something totally cheesy like: Hi its Cynthia. Heard you were sick. I know a really good doctor :) (except, i forgot to add the smiley face at the end so i guess my humor might not have come across in plain text- I have that problem sometimes) Well... I woke up early and nothing. Went about my day and NOTHING! What???? No response. couldn't believe it! So i sulked around, played 9 holes of golf and decided to let it go. I no sooner text my friend that i was pumped faked when he texts me! Crazy. I, of course, respond way too quickly but i invited him to a ball game on Monday night. That's right! I asked him out!!!! And he said yes. So.... i guess we have a date! But today is only Tuesday. What to do till next week????

Monday

Well.... I was rehashing my evening on Friday all weekend long. You know how it is. Replaying things in my mind. WHy did i say that? Ugh! Forehead slap. Oh well. ANd i was thinking, if he was interested... he would track me down somehow today. So ... I let it go. But late this afternoon, my friend that set us up texted me to call her. She said he was sick today and did ask for my number. THerefore, i am still waiting. We shall see what tomorrow holds!

Fun Friday!

Friday night adventure: I had a "blind" date last night. More like a meet and greet type "date" and yes we have to talk in quotes because everything was a set-up. I didn't really think i was on a date and he probably didn't either.... but we both knew we were going to meet each other there! Well... he is HOT!!! really ridiculously good looking! We met @ a little mexican joint that is pretty popular on Friday nights. My friend Karla, who works with John, arranged this "meeting" since some of her old co-workers were throwing a going away party that night. THerefore, karla and her husband, me, and john could all mingle amongst these other people we all kinda/ sort of know too!
Well- i was coming from work and therefore dressed like a business professional. Cute but..... I arrived @ 4:30. Bill shows up soon afterwards. I am early, but i know if you don't get there early - you don't get a table. Karla shows up looking hot! She tells me John went home after work to shower and change and will be arriving @ 6:30. Here is the scoop. He works in my area but lives in Chicago. So ... he was going home to chicago to change and then drive back out here for this "meeting" and then back to chicago (apparently his parents were coming in for mother's day weekend so he had to be home by 11 pm which means he has to leave by 10ish) I probably would have cancelled - too much driving around! But... if he is changing, i needed to change too! So off i flew back to my house to shower and change and spritz (or douse) myself in perfume!!! I get back at 6:30 and no John. Bill (who has been drinking since i left) is pissed this guy didn't show up on time. Bill hasn't meet John before either and i thought it was sweet he was upset! I wasn't worried... it is friday and traffic is usually heavy. We are now sitting at a table of 6 four person tables all squeezed together. THe place is packed! I refuse to get "stuck" on the inside - so i sit next to bill. THis mexican place is known for its margaritas and they are STRONG. I see this lady (in her 50's) down the fish bowl size margarita and i lean over to karla ... and tell her that lady needs to go home... i knew what was going to happen!
Everybody is having a good time, i am chitchatting with this lady when Bill tells me thumbs up on my "date". I turn and look and he is HOT!!! All the other girls/ladies think this too and start asking Karla who he is. She introduced him to Bill, me and then everyone else in the party! He didn't really look at me and we really weren't in a situation where we could talk. Just as i am getting frustrated...the lady with the margarita pukes in her glass, then on her shirt, and all over the table/floor. Disgusting! But ice breaker for me. I tell John and bill ..we should move into the bar. so we do and now i am in my glory....telling jokes, smiling, touching his arm (huge biceps!) Shortly afterwards we left and headed to another bar where a band was playing. I sat next to him there and of course had to lean in and talk in his ear due to noise. But ... it is strategy for me! Blowing in his ear, falling in his lap and whafting my perfume on him! It's my magic dust! He did put his hand on the small of my back a few times which i took as a good sign. But he did leave pretty promptly @10 pm . no exchange of numbers so maybe it's not going anywhere. I had a great time though! WHat do i do next? Any advice?

It's started

I have several friends who are trying to set me up with single guys that they know. I knew eventually i would have to give in to this blind double date thing. Ugh how painful. I would do better if they didn't tell me about it and i just show up and be myself! Now i am all nervous and questioning what i will say! How dumb is that! When am i at a loss for words??? Anyway- this weekend i am suppose to meet a ortho doc in the city and next weekend a rep from my area. Although the latter guy's last name is Grundy. Just don't see it happening! Dr. Grundy?!??? Grundy undy's (i know that is not how you spell it but undies looks like un-dies to me and it messes up my humor) Hope all is well with my readers (all two of ya)!!!

Dinner is served!

I am so proud of myself! I have been preparing and eating my dinners this week. I am even cleaning up after myself. I know this sounds stupid...but i eat out a lot and am very lazy. When my schedule is hectic, i will leave dishes for two weeks! They aren't terribly dirty and i don't even realize that much time has passed. When i start to wash, I will remember what was going on when i cooked last and get disgusted with myself! Oh well, nobody is perfect. I keep saying "i need a wife" !!
I have been out cleaning the yard too! Social life is on hold. CHores first!

Friday Night

Here it is.... Friday night! And although i had several offers of events to attend tonight, i chose to stay home. I took a bubble bath, relaxed and will be heading to bed early for some much deserved sleep.
I received my final numbers for march and i made my quota for the year!!! Yeah! Thank god really.... if i didn't ... my salary would have been reduced- significantly! Who wants that??!! I had a crazy week with 8 surgeries! a couple small ones but 8 is a lot for me! Previously i was averaging 12 a month! so - if i keep this up it will mean a banner year!
I also got my taxes done on time this year! No extension! How exciting! And i will get some $ back too!!!!! THat is the best feeling! I know it is better to owe and not give uncle sam an interest free loan ... but can't beat the feeling of getting $ back! It's like winning on ebay!!!
Seems i have developed adult acne or an allergic reaction to something. My face has totally broken out and is all blotchy. Also- i can't find a anti-perspirant that works for me! Odd problems to have! Wonder if it is stress related. Or thyroid? Hmm.

Gotta Be Somebody......

I had a busy week! I celebrated my one year anniversary with Great Lakes Orthopedics this week! April 1st! Sure doesn't feel like a year! I guess that is good! I had the biggest surgery of my life this week...it took me 5 hours! I was somewhat discouraged by how long it took ( i didn't transplant a heart or fix a brain tumor) but i did reconstruct a foot! Saving lives ... one foot at a time! Hope this guy heals well! I also completed and mailed my boards binder and should hear in two weeks whether or not the cases were accepted. Then i can start studying for the actual exam in June!
I was just to our big Midwest podiatry conference to mingle and network. I didn't actually sign up to attend. I had a great dinner (fondue) last night, partied til 4 am, slept in the awesome Swissotel and spent 5 hours this morning with the exhibitors. Met some really nice guys last night who were questioning why i am still single. I thought that was most amusing. And one single 24 year old who wanted to marry me (i think he was just drunk, but good looking) and another married dude who told me he wished he wasn't. Why do they tell me that stuff??? What am i going to do with that knowledge?
