The week, that is. My part-time project was supposed to end last Friday; now, I’ll be lucky if it’s done tomorrow. While the extra $$ will be nice, I’m exhausted. I haven’t been able to go to the grocery store, to Target, anywhere because I’m not willing to give up my lunch hour, my one respite from work, to run errands! Ugh.

I did skip out on the 2nd job last night, and met Scott for dinner before my adult ed class. It was really great to see him in the middle of the week and definitely brightened my day. I was a little disappointed because he mentioned he was planning to watch the basketball games Saturday night, but it is the NCAA championship weekend, so I can deal. He asked me to call him “if I got bored” after my class, and I did, once I got back home. We talked for 30 minutes or so, and he mentioned doing something during the day on Saturday. I suggested just waiting until Sunday … anyway the compromise is him coming over here to watch the games. I’d rather go to his place, but with the tournament downtown plus regular Saturday-night traffic, that doesn’t make much sense. But at least I’ll have plenty of magazines, etc., here to keep me busy … and he’s not a huge basketball fan so maybe we won’t have to watch both games lol. I did tell him I’d make dinner, and today I found a delish recipe by Rachael Ray.

Anyway, bottom line is that I like Scott. A lot. I’m glad I hung in there. At the beginning of the year, I made a short list of qualities that I was looking for in a mate. He seems to fit them all … I just haven’t sneezed so I don’t know if he says “bless you” or not. ; )

I create a relationship with a man who is considerate, says “bless you” when I sneeze, makes me laugh with abandon and thinks that I am funny too. I create love with a man who is passionate and is willing to share and explore our desires after we have created an emotional connection. I create love with a man who is interested in knowing me as a complete person and with whom I feel comfortable enough to reveal myself. I create love with a man who is able to balance his job with the rest of his life. I create love with a man who treasures me like the precious jewel I am. So be it and so it is.
