I like you are happy with me. I want to be the guy you deserve, that you never had. I'm happy when you are happy :)
Mediocre Guy
Sigh.... Guys really can say the cheesiest, most romantic things when they want to...
This week, or rather these last 3 days have to be the longest days EVER! I worked Thursday and Friday and will be heading into work today and even though it’s only a 3 day work week, it feels as though I’ve worked all week!!!!!
I need to win the lottery…. This working is such peasant life… SIGH…. But I’m a peasant…
Although I do get treated like a princess by MG!!!!!!
We are going away tomorrow for New Years!!!!! He is whisking me away for a get away….
I’m sooo excited!!!
First we are going to the mountains to a cabin in the woods… With a fireplace so we can cuddle and pretend that we are having a winter wonderland… Although I don’t think the mountains here have any snow on them due to our incredible warm weather right now! I’m definitely not complaining about being able to walk around in cute little outfits… Although the night times are bitterly cold, for my standards!
After frolicking in the make believe snow, we are heading to an island for an escape from reality… Luckily we don’t have to go very far to escape!
I want our first New Years to be away. I fear that if we were in town, I would want to go party and hang out with friends, when deep down I only want to be alone with MG…
And I really want an amazing midnight kiss! It has never happened before and I don’t want to screw it up since I have an amazing man to kiss….
Here is to an amazing 2014!!!!
I’ll make my resolutions at another time….
Well the family interrogation with MG went on without a hitch! Thank goodness it was the decorating party with lots of people otherwise it would have been a bit more intimidating! I think it went pretty well. MG found topics of conversation with all the men of the family and managed to help the women when needed as well… He is becoming a jack of all trades! The decorating of the tree has become a tradition with my family and friends of family. We’ve been doing it for years and newbies to the tradition can at times feel out of place.
I hoped he wasn’t overwhelmed or bored with the entire situation. We unfortunately or luckily had to leave the party before the finishing touches of the tree were complete because there was an emergency at work that needed my attention.
The emergency at work gave us time to be alone and enjoy each other’s company and he saw me handle things under pressure. I think he was thoroughly impressed by my attitude of the situation. It’s difficult to truly get mad at the plumber when the main line gets clogged up and water spills out from the toilet! Ewwww gross…..
After the emergency was fixed, we headed to MG’s place to drop off my car and off to dinner. It was late, we were exhausted after dinner and ended up crashing… But not before MG managed to give me a cheesy line of his feelings.
“You make me want to be a better person, for you. I just want to keep making you happy…”
SIGH….
My brother called me to tell me that they all liked MG. He seems well rounded and very calm. Maybe next time they all will have a chance to talk more!
All signs are pointing to goodness!!!!
Oh I completely forgot another topic of discussion from Mother during her date with MG!!! I think I tried to block it out but last night while falling into dreamland, it came blaring back into my memory....
She told MG that he should stop taking me out to dinners because she thinks I am FAT! She said he should make he learn how to cook so I can start losing weight AND that she wants him to watch how I drink... She thinks I'm an alcoholic... Little does she know that she is one of the causes of why I need a cocktail at the end of the day!!!
MOTHERS!!!!!
No wonder I tried to block it out!
Why do Mothers always like to embarrass and make you uncomfortable with their tact when talking to a guy you really really like???? Is it just because they are mothers? Or is it because they have no tact?
I fear that it is the latter with my mother!
MG came to pick us both up. I instructed that he shouldn’t wear jeans because it was a huge pet peeve of my mother’s, she hates jeans! He showed up in a nice shirt/sweater and nice black slacks, with dress shoes! He looked very put together, of course trying to make a good first impression with Mother. (She wasn’t impressed, she thinks guys should always dress in nice slacks and a good shirt…)
He went in for a hug, she tried to shake his hand! Scenario, very similar to me and all dates! I shake they go for immediate bodily contact! She was thrown off and hugged.
We walked to an Italian restaurant my mother likes near by. He held my hand as he chatted with my mother. I was definitely trying to be the third wheel… It was a chance for them to get together each other and for her to see why I had fallen for MG.
The conversation was at first light, Mother was trying her hardest to be engaging and asking all “proper” questions, until the questioning turned to prior relationships and financial situation…
My mother always talks about money. She is kind of obsessed with the thing. It’s her personality. Can’t avoid it with her even when you ask her to stop talking about it, she will continue to make you feel uncomfortable about money…
There was a moment during dinner that I banged my finger against the table because the cheese broke away too quickly. Maybe it was to try and change subjects... My finger throbbed and hurt. MG held my finger and gave small kisses. Such a tender moment and Mother witness the affection he holds for me and her disposition changed.
He told her while I was in the tinkletorium that he thought I was amazing and that she did a great job in raising me into the woman I am today. That impressed Mother. Not many guys say that to the mothers, well not many guys, willingly go out to dinner with their significant others’ mothers!
When dinner was over, we dropped Mother off and went back to my place to decompress from Mother. I could tell that MG was a bit taken aback from the whole encounter. He was quiet and a bit distant, mentally. I tried to pry it from his mouth and eventually he told me he wasn’t comfortable with talking about money situation or about material things.
Mother is very materialistic. She likes nice things and has a tendency to show off even though she doesn’t believe it’s showing off, it’s just “what I like”… It can at times come off wrong and tactless when talking to virtually a complete stranger.
I felt bad. I hoped that Mother would have refrained from talking certain subjects until we had been together a few months, if not years before asking about financial matters and past relationships! It wasn't completely uncomfortable but we were all on edge, we meaning, me! And I'm sure MG. It can be stressful meeting Mothers!
Oh well! What was said was said. Mother is Mother, can’t really change that, just do damage control!
Now comes the really stressful interesting part, a weekend of meeting more family! I don’t mean to thrust him so immediately into meeting my family, it just comes with the territory of becoming a couple during the holidays! I kind of feel guilty because so much is going on right now and evenI feel overwhelmed with the situation, I can only hope he doesn’t feel overwhelmed or forced.
60 hours have come and gone in a blink of an eye and the slow onslaught of reality begins...
SIGH....
MG picked me up after Boobs' baby shower...
Now have nothing again Vegans BUT if you are going to have a party that basically all but one person (guest of honor) is vegan, I would suggest there be more variety in the food department because for people that love to eat meat (ME!), all those veggies do something nasty to my belly....
MG took me to a lovely dinner. He had planned for us to have dessert on the beach, cuddled under some blankets, gazing up at the stars... BUT it was FREEZING and no venture out of the car would be had. Instead, he parked near the beach and we ended up climbing into the backseat of his car and were making out like school kids. The windows were all fogged up!
We did manage to take Memory's picture at the Nativity Scene along the highway... We failed miserably taking a proper picture because it was way too cold for us to keep standing out there waiting for the right picture!
Now the night time portion... Well because of all those veggies that I ate during the day, my belly was in so much pain in the night. I felt like a symphony was ready to explode out of my belly. I couldn't sleep. I was too afraid that I would literally blow him out of the bed with my gas! A few times when my body was exhausted from lack of sleep, I accidentally let a few toots out... I immediately felt embarrassed by it, even though it is natural. I of course pretended to be asleep! We didn't want him to think we would actually let a fart slip out during cuddle time...
I kept getting up to go to the bathroom. Turned on the faucet. Tried to drown out the sounds that were escaping from my body! I was in agony!!!! I felt like a bull horn was erupting from my butt! There was no way he couldn't hear that noise.... Note so self, NEVER EVER AGAIN EAT VEGAN FOOD when having a sleep over!!!!!
Luckily the morning came and my stomach settled down... Sleep deprived we continued to cuddle until it was time to head to our first weekend destination...
HOLLYWOOD PARK!!!! MG took me to the horse races!!!!! I had never gone before and since it's closing at the end of this morning, perfect timing! SPOILED did he treat me! We took bets on the horses. I drank and flirted and had an AMAZING time! We even won on several of the races! I definitely could get use to going to the races... Maybe next time we'll go to the Kentucky Derby!!!
After the races he drove us to our next destination...
DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!
OMG!!!! MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH!!!!
He booked us a room at a near by hotel so we could be ready to go first thing in the morning!
BUT of course when morning came, we spent it cuddling in bed!!!
And OF COURSE that was the morning that MOTHER NATURE decided to grace us with her presence... UGH!!!!!!!
BUT I didn't let that interfere with the absolute enjoyment of DISNEYLAND!!!!
We were totally that lovey dovey couple that held hands throughout the entire day and kissed at every opportunity. We saw this older couple, lets say in their late 70ties to early 80ties riding on Peter Pan and said, that's what we want to happen to us... If we make it that far!
I was looking forward to being held in his arms while watching the fireworks but due to the stupid winds of the day, the fireworks were cancelled... Very sad!
We drove back to my place after a very satisfying day at DISNEYLAND! Went to bed exhausted and held each other, knowing that reality was upon us and the bubble we were in was about to burst....
So over all, we survived spending every minute together save the minutes spent doing our morning and evening rituals... Yes we both have rituals and we were completely comfortable in performing them around each other.
It's a great feeling when you feel completely at ease with one another. It's as though we've been doing our routine together for a long time. No awkward or weird feelings. Well except for my bloaty/gasy tummy! But I'm pretty sure if I did let one slip here and there, he would be completely at ease with it... Not sure if I would/could be though!
We're spending the next 60 hours apart. Good to leave each other wanting more...
Plus he needs to gear up because over this weekend, he's meeting some family members....!!!
Happy Hour Wednesday/ Double date with J&A was a "success"!!!!
MG and I arrived early to the restaurant and I bee-lined it to the free meat balls and chips that the restaurant offers while you wait for you table to become available. I was hungry! I loaded us a plate of balls and then walked over to the hostess stand to check us in. I do have my priorities!
We sat at the bar and chatted about each other's day before J&A arrived. We headed to our booth and the falling into a nice dinner conversation began.
I was worried for half a second, that there might be some awkward moments and silent lapses but everything went off without a hitch! J&A had just gotten back from a week long vacation, drinking their way through Napa Valley and they had tales to tell... I, of course had my tale but couldn't tell it while MG was there. Although I'm sure he would have enjoyed listening to me retell our story!
I every so often wanted to keep a physical connection with MG and would reach for his leg to caress it and he would in return hold my hand. I didn't want us to be that couple who couldn't keep their hands off of each other during dinner but it was evident that we were being casual intimate. I wanted to have that connection because I wanted to be romantic with him, showing a small gesture while out in the open.
It was the first setting that we were show casing that we are a couple... It was nice. I don't think I have ever felt so comfortable with a man, while with friends. I didn't feel any anxiety or apprehension. I knew MG would get along with J&A and knew that they would like him because I like him!
Even though meeting J&A is over, the slow introduction of MG to the rest of my world is starting to take place. I don't want to bombard him with my friends all at once, which is difficult because the holidays are here and so much is going on...
It's a fine balance. I want alone time with MG but I also want to be with my friends. How do you compromise? I don't want to be that girl who, once she gets into a relationship, she forsaken's her friends to be with the guy. Nor do I want to be the girl who shoves her friends down her guy's throat right away either.
I discussed this balancing act with MG and he said as long as it's not forced, he is fine with meeting my friends. I don't want to force anything. It always has to come naturally, otherwise it's not meant to be...
So for now we find the balance of slowing blending our lives together... Because the whole point of dating is to find someone you are compatible with, to see if you can share a life together...
MG is taking me away this weekend! It's our first weekend get away. He said it's a surprise. He said for me to pack my bag and be comfy!
EEEkkkkk!!!! I wonder what Adventure he is taking me on....
