A juggling act
So, I've hung out with The Player again for the past two nights. (just as an aside, I guess my guilt alleviated pretty quickly, huh?)
Tuesday night he came over after I got home from my therapist appointment, and since it was on the later side, we just hung in and watched a movie. At about 2AM my cell starts ringing and he just looks at me... "booty call?" Now I had no intention of even getting up to look at it... until he said that. Now I'm just curious as to who the hell would be calling me at 2AM because, hello!, I don't have any booty calls left.
Turns out... it's Grumpy. In case you missed his post yesterday about Drinking with Gavin, he hung out Tuesday night with Gavin DeGraw, who happens to be one of my favorite new artists. We had a conversation about Gavin's music on Sunday, because regardless of the fact that he has "I Don't Want to Be" playing on his My Space page, he had no idea who he was. I had gone on and on about how talented he was, what a great voice he had, how I had seen him play a couple of times live and that he puts on an amazing show. Anyhoo... Grumpy was calling to tell me that he was hanging out drinking with him... but I didn't answer the phone. And The Player is all like... "Yeah, that was your brother... okay."
So yesterday was the first day of Passover, and B and I had discussed trying to do a little seder together with the boys to celebrate. I also had a nail appointment scheduled, and while driving to work The Player called me (what?... you just left!) to ask if I wanted to go out for sushi that night (umm... yeah!).
Okay. They'll be a little juggling involved, but I can pull this off. Nails aren't until 6:15, which means I can stop by B's house, have a little schnibble with the boys, hang out for about a half an hour and get out of there using my nail appointment as my excuse. I'll be done with my nails by 7pm and then I'll pick up The Player to drive to the sushi place (his deal - he treats, I drive... cool.)
It actually all worked out. The Player and I had a conversation at dinner about what we're both looking for... we are so on the same page... we both want nothing serious right now, we enjoy each other's company, let's hang out, but there should be no expectations from the other person. I told him he's my distraction right now. We definitely have fun together, so why not, right?
One of the funniest parts of the evening? Walking out of the restaurant, we get back into my car and my cell starts ringing... yep. Grumpy. So I pick up, we're chatting, the next thing I know... The Player is on the phone chatting him up. I'm sitting there, literally yelling in the background... "don't even"... "be good"... "dude, I'm serious." But it was okay. He behaved himself. The only questionable thing he said to him was "Do you know about my sister's condition?" Okay Grumpy. Thanks.
So that's the current deal. The boysies and I leave for NYC tomorrow morning, we'll be there through Tuesday. B, the boys and I are having a non-traditional Passover seder this evening, but still inherently Jewish... Chinese Food! Considering I'm a pretty non-traditional girl, I think it fits. I have a therapist appointment Tuesday when we return, and then The Player and I are supposed to hang out. This is working for me... I do wonder what my therapist would say about The Player. Probably that I'm just gravitating towards something that alleviates my fears. But that's good for me right now, so I'm just gonna go with it.
Happy Holidays everyone.
