but, then again, maybe...

Ick! It rained ALL day today. And it was warmish. Not exactly Christmas week weather! Actually saw "guy friend" today. He came in with one of his girlfriends. I thought it was pretty obvious that I was ignoring him. Apparently he took exception to this and leaned across the counter and grabbed my arm. I said something like "hey that hurts!" and went back to ignoring him. He finally left. His Christmas card is still in my bag. That was right before I left work and I was pretty mad when I walked out and madder still to discover that he had parked right next to me. Was gonna come right home and post, but had to drop off an application for another part-time (?) job and get my hockey pay check, etc., so I didn't post until now. So I'm still kinda mad because my arm still hurts, but not mad like I was.... I have no plans for New Year's Eve. I want to do something really FUN but can't find anybody to do anything with, so we'll see... Probab...

So I went on a date on Monday night. This guy could be my twin as far as hockey & coffee go. He likes his booze a little too much to be my identical twin. He turned 21 on Monday and wanted me to meet him out. I'm so not a bar person, but this little place across the corner from the arena is clean and fairly bright and since it was after the game, I knew just about everyone in there. I went straight from the mall and didn't bother going into the game cuz it was just about over. I had a sandwich while I was waiting and when he finally showed up, he got a drink and ordered his wings to go. We chatted hockey for a while and called one of our friends who was supposed to show up and didn't. By this time, it was getting late and I had to work early, so we left. As we were walking out, he was like "Oh, the guys are just getting on the bus. I need an autograph from NP. Do you want to walk over there with me?" I shrugged and followed him over. It's not that far, b...

There's been a lot of press about saying or not saying "Merry Christmas." As a non-celebrator (is that a word?!) who deals with the general public this is my theory. Basically, if someone says "Merry Christmas", I return the greeting. If the next person doesn't say anything, I say "Enjoy your holidays!" Either is acceptable and I'm not sure why it's suddenly such a big deal this year. That said, I think I've wished more people a "Merry Christmas" this year than I ever have in my life! I keep asking movie star what he's getting me for Christmas and instead of answering, he asks what I want. But I don't want anything, so I shrug and say "surprise me." I think I'd take just a phone call... My secret santa got me a Cheer Bear and a mistletoe candle - the first to cheer me up, the second to help attract cute boys. It definitely made my day! :) Update on the guy friend...he called me the other night...

...wanted to be yelled at by Red? Check out this Kewlbox game I just found. http://www.kewlbox.com/games/online/game/play.cfm?gameId=71 Yeah, random I know, but there's also a link to Santa's Balls (they are ornaments!) with an elf with an attitude problem. Scary where I come up with these things! ..... So, guy friend who is looking for a girlfriend informs me that I'm not on his list of women, I'm just a friend he likes to flirt with. I am okay with this. What I'm not okay with is that he's been asking and asking when I'm taking him to a hockey game. I told him I was free this Saturday, did he want to go? And he's "thinking about it". This does not help my plans. Movie star asked why I never give him my number, so on Wednesday, I did. He has yet to call. He probably lost it. Apparently he has scads of girlfriends, which is "common" amongst movie stars. Ah well, he's always a bright spot in my day. :) I've had it w...

I should add that a studded leather hobo bag is not really my thing. I like my bags with the tiniest bit of stitching (like the new one from Wilson's I got last night!) or small silver detail. Just wanted to clarify that! :)

So this is about 2 weeks overdue and I have a ton of stuff to say. However... My mood is calm so I'm not sure how this will turn out. Update on the guy friend. 2 weeks ago, he came in to see me at the mall store and wanted to know when I was going to take him to a hockey game. I wanted to know if dinner was included and would it be a "real" date? He made some lewd comment and the situation was wierd. Then Thanksgiving and I haven't talked to him since. Until today. I think I mentioned that he's attractive? Well, he's also a flirt and I respond to that and flirt back. And hate myself for doing that! He said he might come see me tonight. We'll see. There are supposed to be hockey players in the store signing autographs tonight. (ACK! What to wear?!) lol Thanksgiving was quiet. I worked 7 - 3:30. Went home and went to bed, so no turkey with the family. Retail is HUGE on Black Friday in my little town, so the coffee shops must be open early ...
