I seem to have been somewhat preoccupied with work, dating and ridiculousness lately so have not been updating. I am not even sure where to begin. I have gone on a few dates, but nothing I was blown away by...OK, that is not entirely true, but the bad have outweighed the good. Here is one of the bad:
I went for drinks with OldYT Guy last Thursday night. Here is the thing: he is a very good looking guy, but super geeky. I wan't even aware that you could still be geeky at 39, but he was. I also tend to like a guy who is somewhat on the geeky side, so that must mean he was super over the top geeky. I sometimes think that if my mood was different a date could go completely the other way. He had planned for him to come and pick me up at 8 - after he was done at some work event. He didn't come until 9:30 (he did call, but still!) By the time he got here I was annoyed and tired after a full day of working out and working. We went for drinks and some snacks and I tried to get over my annoyance, but it just didn't happen. I moved away every time he tried to touch me and leaned forward when he put his arm across the back of the booth. I was still being nice, but not flirty at all. He dropped me off and went in for a full on open mouth kiss. I flew out of the car as quick as I could. Post script to this date: Queen and Heart sound nothing alike (noted by the fact that one has a female singer and one a male) and Heart is not classic rock just like a 1985 Camaro is NOT a hot rod!!!!
The other bad ones are too generic to even bother with. Drinks, crappy conversation, blah, blah, blah.
I also went out a few times with SD, who was one of the best first dates ever. We ate and drank and almost got on a flight to Vegas at 1 am after hitting at least 5 different spots and drinking as many bottles of wine. We decided it was probably not a good idea and went to the casino instead. Somehow we both managed to win money, but not exactly sure how. Talk about a Sunday Funday. Monday at work was not that fun. We chatted throughout the day and he called and said he was going to come over Monday night and make some food (he is a trained chef) and have some wine. After getting a few confusing texts after that he showed up at my place with no food or wine and completely drunk. He failed to mention in our phone conversation that he was drinking all day. He also forgot about the phone conversation we had that he said he would make me dinner in. OK, pizza it is. He insisted he wanted to watch a movie so I ordered one and he passed out on my leg. Wonderful! The best part if that the one character (the asshole) in the movie totally reminded me of JG, so I texted to tell him this and we ended up texting back and forth throughout the movie. He thought it was pretty funny that my "date" was passed out on my couch.
SD came over on Friday night when he got off work. I had a bunch of people here playing poker and having drinks. He got along with everyone and we had a good time, but I knew it couldn't go anywhere. He actually left to go home today for an indeterminate amount of time due to his father being terminally ill; he is not expected to live throughout this week. No wonder the kid is drinking so much! So, maybe some other time.
Saturday Toad and I went for lunch and drank beer and watched Hockey Day in Canada all day. I left at about 7 and met T at my place. We headed out to meet JG and friend and ended up downtown having more drinks. After running into EngagedGuy we left and got pizza and came to my place. We all got up in the morning for an early breakfast before JG and B headed back to the burbs. EngagedGuy texted me all Sunday and tried to come over. Douchebag!
Sunday I ran around a bunch and then headed to G for the Oscar part and Jen's birthday. We ended up having a complete blast; open bar and buffet. It was so good. After a few hours we decided to head to the Roxy (where else would you wrap up a Sunday Funday). A lot of shots and drinks later I was on the dance floor (how does that happen??) Did I mention I was wearing a tiny black dress and very high stilletos for the Oscar party??? Ya, I was that chick at the Roxy!
Somehow I ended up chatting with a guy who was really nice and we found out we live across the street from one another. After all of the "no sex" reassurances we went to his place for a glass of wine and decided to watch a movie. I totally passed out in the typical Nic fashion...snoring very loudly and unmovable. After MM tried to wake me up for a while he went to bed. I woke up in the morning on his couch...very short dress now riding up somewhere around my waist, stilletos still on, snoring loudly (yes I even caught myself snoring). It took me a few minutes to figure out where I was and also remembered there was talk of MM having a roommate. After walking by an empty room I sneakily tried to open the other bedroom door, but of course it was the squeakiest door ever! MM woke up and kind of just laughed at me. He pulled me into bed with him and we ended up talking for quite some time (mostly laughing at the site his roommate would have woken to). After an hour nap I told him he had to make the walk of shame with me (trust me, this one was bad!!!) I really needed a coffee (his Starbucks is also mine - he didn't want to take me there because I looked so trampy!) but we went anyway and ran into 2 of his ex cowrokers (he used to work at the attached hotel). Sometimes this city is just too small!
We got our coffees to go and came to my place...I got changed and we went for lunch in YT. We just click. There is no weirdness and we are just super comfortable with eah other. He walked me home after we took a short walk in the rain - i had to head to my chiro to pay them. He had some things to do and then came over again later on and took me for sushi. Kind of like 3 dates in 24 hours. I don't think I have ever done that.
He is having me over for dinner tonight. Apparently he can also cook. So far so good. I actually had a chiro appointment this morning and my chiro's mom (the receptionist) told me that my boyfriend is very nice and we make a great couple. I had to laugh at that one.
So that is mostly up to current. I will keep you posted on MM and everything else upcoming!

I should listen to those voices in my head
As predicted things went very badly with NewF this weekend and I will not be seeing him again. Haha. I should have known better than to even waste my time seeing him Saturday, but I figured seeing him would make me know for sure what I was feeling. I should have listened to myself. I had the opportunity to go out and have fun and instead went over to his place. Needless to say, I was home before midnight. Oh well, it least it as a quiet night and I was up early Sunday morning for yoga!
I needed the quiet night after Friday night. A few of us went for dinner and drinks and then to G for more drinks. D and SIL left pretty early and I was already pretty buzzed. The guys were going to BN for a stag, which they tried to get me to go on, but I figured it was better to not go considering I was already pretty drunk. I went home and Toad came over and we ended up staying up into the wee hours. I actually woke up feeling OK Saturday and even managed the gym. I ran a bunch of errands throughout the day (I am probably the only person who considers shopping running errands!) haha.
Sunday was a good day. After yoga I got ready and headed out for actual errands. I took my broken purse that I bought over a year ago back to the store (something I had been putting off for months) and they gave me a brand new purse. I was so shocked. The new purse was actually less than the original, so they gave me the difference in cash. So I walked out with a new $200 purse and $20 in my pocket! I was ecstatic.
Sunday evening Cam came by and we went to Earl's for some snacks and drinks, which turned into quite a few drinks, which turned into going to LaB(he had never been) for sangria and mussels and then back to my place for a bottle of wine. I said I was in the mood for a Sunday Funday!! It was a good time. Not sure if I will see him again in a romantic sense, but either way he is fun.
I not into more posting at the moment...just wanted a weekend recap!

Am I doing this on purpose?
So, I have not seen NewGuy (who will now be called NewF - I give him a name just in time for him to disappear...Perfect!) since last weekend. Our schedules during the week or somewhat at odds. I am a morning workout person and he is a night workout person, so it doesn't seem to work during the week for us. Having said that I don't think going out to a movie or a drink sometime after 8 is ridiculous, but I think NewF does. So, he somewhat reserved me for Saturday, which seemed like it was going to be a bowling date. He emailed me this morning (as he always does) and let me know he is going skiing tomorrow and will be home at about 5 or so. I have to admit I got a little irrationaly when I read it. I want him to do his thing and all, but we all know after a day of skiing and 3 hours of travel to get there and back he is not going to be a lot of fun.
I let him know that we could postpone Saturday night because he would be tired, but he said no it was fine "as long as I don't mind a chill night". OK, here's the thing...I do! It is Saturday night. The night for fun, not the night for chill. This is our 4th date and a Saturday night. We should be going out for dinner and drinks and getting drunk and making out inappropriately on street corners, not laying on his couch watching movies...that is for like 6 months into a relationship not 3 weeks!
I also had a girl's night offer from some really fun girls I know, so I am not sure if it is just that I don't want to miss out on that (to be honest, I am not really that into it, so I don't think it is that). Am I being ridiculous? Is it normal to feel like this?
I emailed him and told him we should just play it by ear and see how he feels. What I really mean is "let's play it by ear and see how I feel". If I want to tear it up tomorrow night then I am going to.
Here is my other thought though. Sunday Funday seems to be calling my name this week, so maybe a chill Saturday night would be good, so that early brunch is possible on Sunday.
I know, I know...my life is so tough. I guess if my plans for Saturday night are my biggest worry then I really shouldn't be complaining. I think I am just venting...not complaining. At the end of the day we all know I am going to do what I want to do anyway. I just wish I knew what that was!
Tonight I am heading out with D & SIL for dinner and drinks and then more drinks and then more drinks. I haven't seen SIL in a long time and D and I thought she could probably use a night on the town. It should be good times.
I have worked out twice today already and I feel like I could go again. This hot yoga really gives you energy. I could have ran forever at the gym this afternoon. For the record EngagedGuy from previous post was not at the gym today though he did Facebook chat with me first thing this morning. The whole thing is weird. Also, weierd is his buddy is the guy I ran into at the gym last week (and who has been trying for 5 years). While EngagedGuy was chatting his buddy also started Facebook chatting with me! They were probably on the phone with each other conspiring to drive me mad! Further proof that the gym is a bad place where bad things happen! I might have to stick to my apartment gym. Everyone ignores each other there!
I also have a guy who I dated a few times getting in on the texting and Facebook chatting fury that has been happening. We will call him Welshie. This is a relationship that basically moved into friends with benefits (or at least he thought). Now that I am showing no interest he is all over me. Always the way. I am going to do this with every guy from now on. Actually I am going to turn super stalker psycho on the guys I don't like in the hopes that they will go away!
Did I mention that T has been texting and wanting to get together too?? Ya, now that he is basically living with his girlfriend. This might be one of the best lines ever from a guy:
T: I really want to see you. The reason I haven't been able to see you is because my feelings for you haven't changed Nic. When I think of you I still have the same feelings and I am not sure that if I saw you that I would be able to say no to jumping into bed with you...
Me: Ummmmm and since when would I be asking?
T: You know what I mean
Me: No I don't. I figured getting together for a drink actually meant getting together for a drink...Silly me.
WTF????? Men!!!!
I think I might scrap all men this weekend and just go out and play...I think it is what I really want. Well that and a Sunday Funday! Wish me luck!
PS - I have Noxema in my gym bag for after workouts to put on my face. I dare anyone to smell Noxema and not think about growing up and sunburns! I swear I felt like I was 7 at the beach with my family after putting that on today!

Cuz I can
I have a mountain of work to do and instead I am blogging. I am so smart. A quick update on my lunchtime excursion to the gym...
I go downstairs for my 5 minutes cardio warmup, which felt great by the way (I am going to say this is due to hot yoga, but that is mostly to make me feel better about throwing money I don't have at 20 sessions of it!). Anyway, I am running away and look over at the guy a few treadmills down who looked like he might be cute. I am not one to pick up at the gym (or anywhere for that matter), but it is not often I see cute guys at this particular gym (I see lots at the one I usually go to, but sadly they are not into vagina). Anyway, I look over and he is looking at me and our eyes lock in the mirror. I think "funny...he looks strangely like someone I know in the Biblical sense, someone I have known a long time, someone who has been in and out of my life a lot (everytime one of his relationships breaks up)...and as we smile at each other I realize it is him. How random! We are too far away to chat but we smile and say hi. I start to think about our past...here it is in a nutshell:
-Meet at old hangout bar (Lea was friends with his roommate)
-Get drunk at old hangout bar
-Exchange digits at old hangout bar
-Maybe he comes home with me that night??? Recollection is not clear here
-Hang out a number of times
-He comes to my 30th birthday party (this means we met over 4 years ago)
-We get drunk
-He stays over
-He pulls an Irish Exit and I don't hear from him in some time
-About a year later I see him at old hangout bar
-He is living with his girlfriend
-He wants to come home with me
-I say no, then yes, then no
-He comes home with me
-We watch a movie
-We make out
-I make him go him
-He leaves his belt
-I tell him he should get it
-He does and again an Irish Exit
-We see each other now and again over ensuing years
-One night he ends up at my place
-Makes all sorts of promises
-Irish Exit
Does anyone else see a pattern here????
Over the last year and a half or so he has texted and emailed numerous times to say hi. I know through Facestalking he has gotten engaged to the girl he has been with for quite some time now. Since he has been with her he has tried to make plans with me numerous times...one night he ended up coming to meet me at about 2 am at D's. I sent him on his way though...I couldn't do something like that.
So, cut to the gym. As I finish my warmup I walk by him and give him a "have a good workout" and go to tend to my own workout. I see him leaving and scouring the gym for me. I am upstairs and he doesn't see me. I leave the gym and get a text about how amazing I look and it was so good to see me...blah blah blah. Somehow through text I think we just made a date for the gym tomorrow. Argh!!!!!!!!!!
Also, if he saw me now the word amazing would not come out of his mouth. I realized I did not have a towel with me after exiting the gym shower and had to dry off with my sweaty workout gear. Kind of defeats the purpose I think! So, I am an idiot who has no willpower as far as I can tell.
At least I am working out and getting in shape while doing these things!

Permanent Damage
I think I may have done some permanent damage to my body on Super Bowl Sunday. Seriously. I have been dragging my ass ever since! I set my alarm for 6:30 this morning so I could get to the gym before work (as is my usual routine). I woke up at 8:45...apparently the crucial part of setting the alarm is actually making sure it is turned on! I never sleep in that late. I jumped out of bed and got ready quickly and got into the office before 10. It isn't like I have to be here at any particular time, but I have a ton to do today. I hate starts like this! Now I feel like crap and feel behind the 8 ball. I had to rework my day so now I am going to head to the gym in Ditchmond in a few minutes and get my workout in and then try to get out of here at a decent hour tonight to make hot yoga at 6.
We'll see how the plan goes considering Boss is in Oz and he is expecting me to work on his time zone. WTF? The demands were coming in fast and furious last night at 6pm. I was ready to strangle him! I will just work from home some tonight after yoga I suppose. I am working from home tomorrow, so I will workout whenever I please!
Who knew you could write 2 paragraphs on such banal shit?
For people who don't like to hear about certain girl things you may want to stop reading now. Here is the thing...I have an IUD. It is a form of birth control that I love. It is almost to get pregnant (unless it happens to fall out...not that I would know what that is like or anything!), you don't get a period and it is unintrusive and works for 5 years. Pretty amazing stuff. For those that are thinking...IUD ewwww...these aren't your mother's IUDs (2 words you probably didn't need to have put together!) the new ones on the market are awesome (no brass). Anyway, there is one small problem. No period means no idea where in your monthly cycle you are at. Even though there is no period there are still some slight PMS symptoms that show up. I just have no idea when this is going to happen. I am hoping that this is my monthly cycle time right now...otherwise I really do think Sunday ruined me a bit. I am lethargic and feeling a wee bit down and just kind of "leave me alone". If it doesn't pass by tomorrow I will know that a 12+ hour shift of drinking and other things is not a way for a 34 year old to pass a Sunday (notice that I am still not sure if this is a good or bad thing!)
So, I am off to the gym to try and lift my spirits and get rid of the belly I seem to have collected on Sunday (beer + wings + 2 types of fries + cheesy soup + more beer = FAT) I just had a thought though....maybe it is my time of the month and I am moody and bloated...not fat! Here's to wishing I am shedding an egg as we speak!

I am alive?
Good lord am I ever getting old! Girl's Super Bowl Sunday Funday ended up starting early and going into the wee hours of the morning. I finally feel human today (it is Wednesday for those playing along at home). I drank a lot of beer and ingested other things later in the night that led me to be a bag of shit until today. Note to self: I am not 18. It was a really fun day though and my Steelers won, which made it even better. After the craziness at R2 we went for some food and drink at CC and then AT and I made the Sunday night rounds ending up at the Roller (of course!) There was an after party and then there was me home in bed with chips, chocolate and milk before passing out cold. Monday was a complete write off. I finally left my apartment at about 8 when D came to get me because my car was still at her house from Saturday night. I didn't even want to do that, but knew I needed my car.
So, things with NewGuy went well Friday except that I was exhausted. I had gotten up early that morning for the gym and had gone to hot yoga after work. By the time we ate dinner and shared a bottle of wine I was falling asleep on the couch while trying to watch a movie. I ended up crashing at his place (I think we were in bed before midnight!) We got up Saturday morning and went for a walk and then went for breakfast before I went home. I decided to hit up hot yoga and then went to the gym (I was feeling rather peppy it seems!) Here is where things are at with NewGuy...I like him, but I am at the point of doubting the whole thing and I am busy picking wholes in the relationship. Here is the thing...he is sweet. I mean incredibly sweet and gentlemanly. I know most of you are saying...what is wrong with that? Well, the thing is I think when he sees more of me I will freak the fuck out of him. He has not seen me with my friends and I really haven't explained to him the dynamic there. On the other hand, I have said more than 5 times that I want a guy who is not a partier and who can settle me down. Someone who is not Mr Yaletown and doesn't spend every night in the bar. I am trying to take things slow and just let them unfold themselves...I need to learn to turn my brain off!
Here is an example of how sweet he is...He emails me all day from work to say hi, to tell me he misses me, to tell me he can't wait to see me, etc. It is Wednesday and he wanted to know what I am doing this weekend so he could make plans for us. I told him I am busy Friday, so he asked if I would like to go bowling on Saturday night with him. I am sure I just heard a collective laugh from my friends about that. Bowling? Really? I am sure it will be very fun and I am sure my wallet and liver will love me for it, but c'mon...are we going on a date or to an 8 year old's birthday party? OK, that is mean. I actually think it is pretty damn sweet...just not sure this is me. Stay tuned...
We have had no conversations about dating other people or anything like that (obviously, we are only on date 3). Someone who I was quite interested in before meeting NewGuy got in touch this week and is now back in town and wants to get together. I think at this point I want to keep options open, so I told him I would be up for a drink at some point. I know this is probably not a good idea, but old habits die hard my friends.
Anyway, Saturday night ended up being very quiet. I went over to D's and we hung out with T for her birthday. We had some wine and watched TV and chatted. We ordered food, but I was not in the mood for eating. I had a little cheesecake and that was it. I am not sure what the hell was wrong with me because I had worked out twice that day and not eaten afterwards. I got to R2 on Sunday for Super Bowl and realized I hadn't eaten since breakfast Saturday morning. I need to do that more often!
Now that football is over for another 7 months I need suggestions on things to do on Sundays. I hate it when there is no football! JG and I have set a date to sit down with some beer and brainstorm ideas for Sunday Fundays. At least he went out on a high...his team won!
So, the rest of this week is shaping up to be very quiet. I am actually back working in the office this week. We ended up keeping it one more month, so I am going to work from home some and from the office some. I actually kind of like switching it up like that.
Confused more than ever...Nic!
So, things with NewGuy went well Friday except that I was exhausted. I had gotten up early that morning for the gym and had gone to hot yoga after work. By the time we ate dinner and shared a bottle of wine I was falling asleep on the couch while trying to watch a movie. I ended up crashing at his place (I think we were in bed before midnight!) We got up Saturday morning and went for a walk and then went for breakfast before I went home. I decided to hit up hot yoga and then went to the gym (I was feeling rather peppy it seems!) Here is where things are at with NewGuy...I like him, but I am at the point of doubting the whole thing and I am busy picking wholes in the relationship. Here is the thing...he is sweet. I mean incredibly sweet and gentlemanly. I know most of you are saying...what is wrong with that? Well, the thing is I think when he sees more of me I will freak the fuck out of him. He has not seen me with my friends and I really haven't explained to him the dynamic there. On the other hand, I have said more than 5 times that I want a guy who is not a partier and who can settle me down. Someone who is not Mr Yaletown and doesn't spend every night in the bar. I am trying to take things slow and just let them unfold themselves...I need to learn to turn my brain off!
