Hey, good people!

Hope all is well on your end! I hope you are flourishing, growing, and living your best life. Also, if you want to create better habits, make sure you are making small changes towards the end goal, and celebrate your small wins. I am working on being in the moment and giving my friends and family my undivided attention because I struggle in that area.

I attended an event last week at the World of Coca-Cola with some friends, and it was a great time. The men at the event were dressed very nicely, and I was in eye candy heaven. I love some good eye candy! The food and music were good, but no one was really dancing. I had been practicing my dance moves but didn’t get to show them off because no one was dancing. I was on my feet for 4-5 hours, and my pumps were great, but my feet damn near cried on the way to the car. Hahaha, the last hour on my feet was torture.

I went to the mall to get some eyeliner and I was greeted by an affirmation wall! I was beyond excited because I believe that we all should say affirmations for positive self-talk. I sent the creator a message and told him I love him, and his exhibit made my day that much better. How can you have a bad day after you have added your affirmation to the affirmation wall and you have great eyeliner? Hahahaha

He travels a lot for work, so we had never met in person, he says that he is looking for a serious relationship. My hand was bleeding at the gun range, and I face-timed him in the car to show him the damage due to holding my gun incorrectly. He answered the call and said, “Wow! You look great”, and I said, “thank you!” He had to travel for work the following week, but we agreed to meet for dinner when he returned. We settled on a time and date for vittles and libations. He was standing outside of his car waiting for me; I called him and told him to go inside and get us a table and assured him that I would be okay to walk to the restaurant once I found a park. He called to ensure I was okay and told me we had a table. I walked into the restaurant, located him, and he got up to hug me, “Your pictures do you no justice!”

I said, “thank you!” and blushed like a crazy person. This man had his polo shirt buttoned all the way up to his neck, and before I knew it, I had reached across and tried to unbutton his shirt, and I said, “unbuttoned this damn shit,” and he could not stop laughing. He was on the date buttoned up like his ass was at work. Sir, let your neck breathe! Relax a bit. Hahaha, He is handsome, has a great sense of humor, and is an engineer with a very stressful role. Finally, he unbuttoned his shirt, and we laughed and talked.

I am myself always (it took years to get here), but we all have layers. Who I’m dating may see a different layers depending on what’s happening and if I feel emotionally safe. I must date someone who can relax, have a sense of humor, and just be himself.

He said to order whatever I wanted! We ate, laughed, talked, and drank a few rounds. I inquired about how many women he was dating now, and he shared that he was dating three women, including me; Um, sir! One date does not mean that we are dating, but okay. We had dessert and more laughs, and the night ended. He walked me to my car, gave me a great hug, and told me he was looking forward to us spending more time together

Until next time!
What’s next starts now!
