Game over
So I’m pretty much done with The Player. He’s not holding my interest at all outside of the bedroom, and there’s only so much sex one can have (did I just say that?!)
He came over Friday night with Mexican food and a twelve pack. We hung out, had a little food and watched a movie. He entertains me when I’m drinking, it’s just when I’m sober that we have a problem. And that’s what Saturday morning showed me. We just had nothing to say to each other that hadn’t already been said. It was awkward. Weird.
Add to that, the fact that he had his first beer of the day at 9:30 in the morning… dude. I’ve already hung out with the functional alcoholic, and that ended up with him breaking into my house one night after I locked him out because it was more important to him to drink and play pool than hang out with me. I’m so not going down that road again. Sorry, been there, done that.
Next.
Or maybe not.
I’ve been thinking that while I’m doing the therapy thing maybe I shouldn’t be dating. Especially considering what I’m also considering.
Anyhoo, back to Saturday morning. The Player tells me that he has some things to take care of (the first hint I was done with this was that my first thought was thank G-d you’re leaving… yay!), asked if I wanted him to cook dinner later (we decided on shrimp), and left saying I should call him after I was done with my haircut and errands.
After he left I watched the end of the episode of Lost I was watching when he showed up last night and was just totally relishing my space. L ends up calling me about a half an hour later wondering if I was interested in going out for breakfast (hell yeah!)
Breakfast was awesome. We went halfsies on the salmon benedict and eggs w/corned beef hash and were quite pleased. (Just as an aside, L & I have been searching for over a year for a new breakfast place since our favorite stopped doing breakfast. And we FINALLY have a winner!) After breakfast she dropped me off at my car and I went on to my hair appointment and other errands.
Driving to my hair appointment I was just overwhelmed by the feeling that I so did not want to hang out with The Player again that night; I really just wanted some alone time.
So, I actually did something that I usually don’t do. I called him. And told him that I thought I just wanted to hang by myself. And I’d give him a call later and check in.
Ah, feeling so much better now.
Hair – fabulous. Then went and picked up my new Bluetooth Wireless headset to go with my new Razr (which is also fabulous!) and headed over to BJ’s to purchase the digital camera I promised myself when I got my tax refund. On the way back I stopped at Marshalls and picked up a few things I needed (can you say retail therapy?!)
I didn’t get home until after 6, I called the boysies and then decided that I should at least keep my word and give The Player a call back.
Turns out since he hadn’t heard from me he was on his way into town to hang out with some friends in Southie.
Totally cool Dude.
I changed into my jammies right then and there. So friggin happy to not have to deal with anyone. Watched the last episode of Lost, talked to my other brother Happy (I'll stay with the seven dwarf theme) for a while (we’re both obsessed with Lost and I had to call him about Michael returning!) and got to sleep early. It felt great. And I so did not miss The Player.
So, I didn’t call him today. He didn’t call me. It’s all good.
And meanwhile, even better? My new digital camera rocks, and as it turns out I got a pretty damn good deal on it too.
So, for your viewing pleasure, here’s some pics of big guy and little dude from their first baseball game tonight. (okay blogger problems – I’ll try again later) Big guy had two solid hits and made two outs. Little dude also whacked out two solid hits.
Now, if it’ll only warm up, we’ll really be all good.
