dressing without gravy

So World Traveler is a GREAT dresser. The 3 times I’ve seen him now (including today when we met to do the cupcake exchange of his 2nd order) he’s been seriously dressed well. When I saw him today he looked so good I actually wanted to kiss him. No really. He looked sooo good!

The date last night was ok, nothing special really, but it wasn’t a horrible time. Unfortunately most of the night was filtered through what happened on Friday or it probably would have been way more fun. He’s definitely an interesting man and I love his smile. And 2 years ago if I’d met him I would have been all about the itinerary and the romance. Today, however, I’m more jaded, more cautious and I guard my heart a little more than I used to. I’d love to be the spontaneous, carefree woman I used to be, but as The Therapist has pointed out many a time – it didn’t work for me. Instead of finding someone who adored and embraced my free-spirit I found a load of people who took advantage of my trusting nature.

And as I talked with WT last night I found myself wondering if he actually were the type to appreciate the side of me I’ve always loved most. Or would he use it as well. My vibe when I’m with him tells me he’s not crazy. My gut isn’t telling me to run or be scared. And one thing I’ve learned in the past few years is that my gut rarely fails me. In this situation my gut tells me that he’s a good guy, loves life and wants to have a ton of fun living it. I like that about him. And I love that smile!

Today when I went to deliver the cupcakes for the bridal shower I met the bride-to-be for the first time. This order came to me from my childhood best friend’s sister, who lives in Michigan. Last time I was up there Valerie ordered cupcakes and her little sister thought they were amazing, so she raved about them to her co-workers. One of her co-workers just happened to be throwing a bridal shower for her son’s fiancee in Roswell, so she ordered 3 dozen for the shower. When I got there to drop off the cupcakes the bride asked me if I’d be willing to do her wedding! Wow! Of course I would! I got so excited, especially when she said her colors are light aqua and red – so different and I love it! So now I’m in planning mode. I have some great ideas for presentation and can’t wait to talk to her more.

I didn’t see Mr. D all week, which I did on purpose. Even though we talked every day I didn’t say much and I missed him a lot. It’s not the same when he’s not around. I like having him close. Today when we talked he asked me if I’d been on a date when I went to see SATC2 and I couldn’t lie. And maybe part of me wanted him to be a little bit worried after not seeing him all week – I can admit that. He was on his way to the Braves game when we talked, so it wasn’t much of a conversation. Now I just want to see him. Lie next to him. Cuddle up under his big arm and laugh with him. It’s what makes me feel good. My Mr. D. I love being with him. I love him, even though I’m not supposed to and this week without him has made me realize it even more. He should love me. Would make things so much better!

Mr. D is a great dresser, too.
