Finding Normal Again?

Hmmm . . . tonight perhaps coffee with the Aquarian, the Karaoke Queen and Sanity as our trip was cut short last night since the book stores closed at 9 unbeknownst to us. Aftershock left eventually, probably ticked that he didn't get any. Still reveling in the disaster of the Chief encounter from the weekend, but did get to talk to him. Interesting, lol. Going to the piano bar wednesday night with Cy. And finally going to an early dinner with Honey Thursday and then exchanging gifts with her. Will be nice to breathe once the holidays are over, although I doubt things will be less hectic!

Disaster Date

Chief . . . well, let's see if I can recall it all . . . didn't see him Friday, he was sick (cold), Saturday getting ready to take the girls to see Santa and i'm really sick to my stomach (turns out i needed to eat), like REALLY sick to my stomach. Into Red's house walks our friend T1 and her two kids, our friend T2 (T1's sister and Chief's ex) and her two kids (oldest is Chief's daughter Crutch who is 13 - a tough age to impress), and Chief walks in last. If I weren't sick to my stomach before, I really really was then. On top of this, I'd heard that T2 was not so thrilled about Chief dating anyone, even me, even though she knows I'll treat him and their daughter right. Ug for drama. Okay, so nauxious to beat hell and he comes to sit next to me and says, so are you gonna talk? I say, uh uh (as in no- cuz i'm so nauxious). I have no make up on (didn't know anyone was coming!), hair wet, bad clothes, still have to finish dressing, etc. Bleh. So we load into cars to go up town to see Santa. Chief goes to sit down on a chair, I go to sit next to him since we don't feel well and we make akward idle chit chat as T2 is glancing at us occasionally. We all go back to Red's afterwards, make a little more chit chat and I feel like an ass really. A big huge ass!

So later that night Red and her brother and I go to Chief's to surprise him (saying we were just in the area - it's a whole other town, lol) and we have better conversation. I feel better, he seems to feel better, we tour his place, we talk, sit by the fireplace, and laugh, etc. We didn't get a chance to talk 1:1 very much, but it was better. His daughter was there later and she seemed to warm up to me pretty well. Yee haw! So I still drove away feeling like an ass though. I got to talk to him yesterday though for a long time and we made it all better saying that perhaps the group date wasn't the greatest idea and we'll try it alone next time. He's funny, I thought he hated me, he doesn't, lol! All in all, glad I went. He has a WAY CUTE and clean place! And, get this, I like his feet. It must be a sign, I must marry him, haha!
