OK now I'm going.

So.....how'd it go?

OH I just posted about it in another thread! But I'll post about it here anyway.

First thing, I showed up five minutes late and he was at the bar trying to order drinks... I know this bar but I didn't tell him he was standing in the wrong place, and then when I showed up the bartender came right over which made him think I'm there ALL the time, which I'm not, they just know me because I've been in the neighborhood for so long and I live across the street from the original bar owner who is now retired. Anyway, he was really cute... REALLY cute, a lot hotter than he looked in his pics, which were pretty hot. Also, super weird and neurotic, which I actually like a lot. He is a complete motherfucking talky son of a bitch, though; holy shit that guy can talk. Luckily for me, he is really good at engaging other people and talking to them, so I didn't bear the sole burden for conversation. He seems to think I'm a good conversationalist, but I seriously can't deal with that much talking! However, he was much more interesting/personable than I was anticipating based on our phone conversation, though he is clearly still processing his last relationship, hard. That's OK because my husband just moved out in August and I'm pretty much in love with my best friend, so I have a lot of processing to do as well.

He presents himself as a complete mess but this may be a bit disingenuous, as he owns a house and a warehouse/artspace in Milwaukee, and is rather plainly in a bad way to settle down. I am a settling-down kind of girl, but maybe not yet, or with him, so this may require negotiation. I settled down before, look where that got me, right?

All in all, a good date. I stayed out until two, which is holy fuck well past my bedtime. I'm shivering from being so tired! He was a good kisser, though (to be honest) not as good as the last two guys I dated, which is OK because both of them are honestly among my top 5 of best kissers ever.

NIGHT SUCCESSFUL

TIKI VERY TIRED

NIGHT GUISE.

I'm blonde again.
Will post a pic, maybe tomorrow.

Mum will have a FIT.
But it's her fault.
We met her cousin last weekend (no surprise, he agreed to help us clear out my lat Great Aunt's garage). He said he remembered me from the funeral (I gave a eulogy) but didn't recognise me. I queried this with Mum, as I am about the same weight. She reminded me I had apricot hair at that time. And she said she liked it.

So there.

Colour stripping has left it blondish. Blonde dye to follow. Then flamingo pink. Seriously.
Ha.

I LOVE the flamingo pink idea! I want a blazing blue wig but only b/c with my complexion I can't pull off the pink.

can't wait for pics!

I just got back from the post office (lazy, lazy postman didn't ring the bell this morning, so I had to go & collect it). Turns out I bought Rose Red, not Flamingo Pink. Huh.

I'm still going to put it on though. Who knows, I might even prefer it. It does look a very pinky red after all.

I'm not sure I can pull it off with my complexion either.
But it will be funny to make Mum foam at the mouth anyway.
Ha - I might wait with my Mum the day before my sister's birthday (she works at the school just up the road from us). She'll froth at the mouth too ;)

Hair in bleach at present, getting a little blonder in readiness.

When did I get smelly feet?

Ive never had smelly feet...Im sooo getting old and passed my use by, nobody's gonna want me now age is catching up and I have smelly feet.

My friend has REALLY smelly feet, and she's only 19. So me thinks it has nothing to do with age.

OH and don't wear shoes without socks. I did that once and my feet smelled horrrrrible. :greenface

I wear heels all day, mainly open toed heels and have done for years....all of a sudden...smelly feet.

That's a sure sign of sex deprivation.

Is anyone plotting an April Fools trick for anyone?

I'm not ;)

So I was out trimming the hugely overgrown bushes in the front yard today--no, that's not a euphemism--and as I was starting on the third overgrown monster I realized there were bees all around it. At any given moment I could easily see 50 of them. (This is a really tall bush/shrub thing, probably 12 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter, and it has little white blooms of some sort on it.) Does this many bees mean there's a hive somewhere close by? Do I need to do anything about it, beyond trimming the stupid thing back in the evening when the bees aren't out?

May well be a hive nearby. Though they will travel quite a way.

It may be worth a phone call to your local apiarist society. They can probably advise you over the phone.
