so, last night i went out to dinner with d and we had a nice time. like i said before, he's a single dad and has been through the whole spectrum of stuff with his son's mom, the courts, and getting his own life on track. we also went to high school together and though we didn't know each other we had/have a number of friends in common. oh, and he recently started his own small business. needless to say we had plenty to talk about.
he was a gentleman: he picked me up, opened my door for me, bought dinner and was very easy to be around. he has a great sense of humor and seemed to get mine. plus, it was such a relief to not have to explain myself in regards to the kids. i didn't have to explain listen, there are these two little people (who are really more like extentions of my body) that, no matter how much we may like each other, are going to come first. if it was a competition - and let's be clear, it isn't - you would lose. every. single. time.
so again, no expectations because i'm not looking for anything, but i seem to be drawing all these great people into my life without really working at it. all of these different realms of my life are starting to gel. i'm so excited about my partnership with b and my new job through the high school and meeting new people and learning that i can be social. it makes me so impatient to get things settled with bk so i don't have to think about that anymore.
oh, and yes, i was just having a momentary lapse of judgement the other day when i was feeling sorry for and missing him. in the bag of dirty diapers that bk sent home to me (!!!) was a grocery reciept for eggplant, avocado, chicken breast, pinot noir, and a dozen white roses! so, here's to, uh, piss off ass face. cheers!
