Joseph - The saga continues...

Joseph texted me. I was surprised. He said he thought I was married and that him being married was okay, too. I had to explain I am not married nor am I interested in seeing a married man. He went on to tell me that she is in Nicaragua and they are not together...just that neither has filed for divorce. Decisions, decisions...

Is It Real-ish-tic?

Can one person be your everything?

Is that too much to expect of one person!

Or is that person so honored to be everything to one person?

What if we date two or three people and each fulfills a portion of a full relationship.

Is that considered an open relationship? Sexually?

Do all parties (need to) know about each other? Yes, if sexually active - in my opinion.

Is this the relationship of the future?

Or is it from the archaic past?

Joseph is

...married. Nuff said

Joseph?

Soooo…he brought up the fact that I didn’t let him sleep at my place. It’s after eight now and we are both working late and both have to bee art work early. He asked again. I asked if we could talk after work. He replied “So you can tell me I can’t?” I replied “I don’t even know your last name.” I called him and got his voicemail…left a message to call more back and sent a text stating same.

Your thoughts on this one? Anyone?

It will be very interesting to see if he calls me back or if we even see each other again.

Or am I just waaayyy to suspicious?

I like Joseph.

I’d be interested in feedback…

The day after the day after...

Minimal texting with Joseph. I have to wonder if he is upset/bothered that I didn't let him sleep at my house. we shall see... Stay tuned...

The days before the First Date with Joseph...and the day after

In the last few days we have texted and talked on the phone. Joseph says things like: You are so sexy I can’t stop thinking about you What have you done to me When can I see you again I dreamt of you These are not things my friends have said to me. Mixed messages in effect, what?

We decided to meet after I finished work, at 7 pm. Joseph was off this day around 1pm. He waited until I was off from work and we met at Sancho’s. We had dinner. He took his napkin and ever so lightly wiped my chin…I was smitten! It was nice we talked and he seemed so nervous and said as much. We talked about the whole “just friends” comment which he said he does not remember saying. He said he cannot be my friend because he wants to be more. We agreed that we are not friends…hmm.

Joseph is a Spurs fan…he does not like the Warriors 😔, LeBron or Kobe, lol! After dinner we went for a long walk downtown and sat in the park and talked more. We walked back to his car as it was getting cold and late and he pulled me in for a soft kiss. His breath was delicious like that first kiss in 9th grade…boys tasted like donuts back then. His tongue was warm and gave me chills as it grazed my own. We bantered back and forth as he joked about not walking me to my car. He asked for a hug…I teased, not for a man who refuses to walk me to my car. He then walked me to my car, I drove him back to his, we kissed and hugged and parted ways. I had just pulled into my driveway and he texted to make sure I had got home safely. My heart skipped!

Because it was so late he said he was going to get a room so as not to have to drive all the way home. A half an hour later he texted and asked if he could sleep at my house because the hotel was booked. (I don’t think this is a good idea…I just met him). I didn’t say this right away…but was about to when he texted “goodnight. I’ll figure it out.” I figured he had found a room.

He did not. He told me the next day he slept in his car. 😮 he has to work late tonight so I probably won’t see him tonight.

Goodnight Joseph.

The day I met Joseph...

I was meeting the delivery man for my boss. He was having appliances delivered to his home. Joseph was one of the delivery men. Joseph is tall dark and beautiful. His smile is bright and charming. His voice is very sexy, very deep and borderline mesmerizing. Before I left he asked me for my number. He had it already, to call upon arrival for delivery, he asked if he could keep it and use it to call me. I didn’t hesitate to say “yes”. Then he said something strange, which I’ve never heard before, he said “as friends”. I thought okay, as friends, if it was to be more..then it would be, if not, I’d have a really hot friend to hang out with! =) lol

Free-Hand Design OPi's Linkin' Park After Dark and Kiss's Nail Art Paint in Silver Glitter You'd be amazed at how easy it is to do a free-hand design. Even left handed, if you're right-handed, and vice-versa. This was two simple sweeping motions starting near the inside corner near the cuticle of each nail. By 'inside' I mean closest to your thumb. Try it and post your design here. I would love to see it!

I love nail designs. I love seeing new techniques and youtube-in them and then trying them out on my own. Trial and error is all part of the process. I will share all I’ve learned with you here. Feel free to ask questions or leave comments or neither or both! I’m interested in any kind of feedback.

My polish collection got to an unmanageble volume. I started buying the same colors because I couldn’t see all of my colors. I realized I needed a solution…hence my polish rack! Yes, just like the ones you in see in the nail salons. And, now I think I may need a second one. I buy lots of polishes…mostly on sale, several at a time, many brands, many colors, many textures and at any given moment. Polish catches my eye no matter what kind of store I’m in…if they carry polish, I’m bound to see it. I even hear my inside voice go “oooh, polish”. Laugh if you want…I think I’ve found my calling!
