Brown-Eyed Girl

It was instant attraction for me when I first saw “Eli”. If I had a type, she was it. Hispanic chick with big beautiful brown eyes packed into a curvaceous little body. There was nothing I wouldn’t do to get next to this girl. She had such a contagious and bubbly spirit about her. She is always wearing a smile that is so captivating. But it was her eyes that drew me in and kept me hanging around.
Things all began when I ran into her in the halls. We were both heading downstairs. We introduced ourselves, talked for a minute and then went our separate ways.
One Friday afternoon, we decided to invite her to lunch but had just missed her. She apparently heard the news that we were looking for her and so she sent me an IM over MOC and that’s how it all started. Just before days end, she was giving me cookies and candies. I am now her little trash compactor.
Then we eventually became water-break buddies. Being seen in the halls together all the time started to make me nervous about what ppl were saying and thinking.
I was fine with keeping her at bay and only fantasizing about what could be. But over the next 3 days of a lifetime worth of IMs between her and I, she started to get to me. But there was one problem. She was married and had a kid. But yet I continue to flirt like there’s no tomorrow. I am going in no particular direction it seems. I can’t push it any further otherwise it could spell trouble for me. But I don’t want to let down cuz I do want her to know that I’m into her. But even still…nothing could happen. Looks like fantasizing is about all I can keep it at.
Now that our relationship is a little deeper, she has let me in on some things about her that does not sit well with me and know that I will never be able to accept her for the way she is and the things she has done. It kills me thinking how we have such natural chemistry but won’t ever get to be with each other.

The Greatest Underachievers

My softball team is about to be known as the greatest underachievers in the game. For the last 4 years since I joined the team, we have failed to bring home the trophy. First year we were eliminated in the first round. Year two we reached the final game and lost by 1 run. Last year the season was canceled due to rain-outs. For sure we thought this year was ours for the taking. Well...it wasn't. We just gave it up to another team. In fact...it will be going to a new team cuz ranked #1 and #2 were eliminated on the same day. What a shocking term of events. But maybe it was a good thing to have an underdog new champ for a change.
So this team of mine does a lot of barking during the regular season, but merely purrs during games that count. We tighten up and make bad decisions all day long. Mistakes after mistakes seems to be our thing. It is terrible to watch our team during these moments. We are the "Cowboys", "Rockets", "Texans", "Mavs" of softball right now. We put fear in our opponents all season long and then come the playoffs and we fail to do anything. We are the greatest underachievers!

The Crazy Month of July!

I can’t remember having such a crazy month as I will this month. Next weekend will be my mom’s birthday, Remi’s annual Bastille Day party and my friend’s engagement party. I am going to be so burnt out after next Saturday. In the morning, I will drive about 2 hours to go to Remi’s Bastille Day party, stay for about an hour, and then drive 2 hours back home, get dressed and then run out the door to be at the engagement party and spend the rest of the night there.
The next weekend, I will spend the entire weekend in Tampa visiting my friend Cac. She’s been asking me for a while now to visit. She’s going through a divorce so I thought it was a nice time to go visit and give her some support. This is my birthday weekend so I was hesitant to go cuz I had already had plans with everyone here. Luckily I was able to reschedule.
Even after the rescheduling, looks like there will be more to reschedule. I promised Christine a nice dinner to celebrate both our birthdays since I’ll be gone when her birthday rolls around, but since I made that promise, so many things have come up.
On the final weekend, I will have to fit in all the following: attending Erica’s and Justin’s go-away party, movie night with Anna, dinner with Christine, and Donny’s and Song’s babyshower. I really don’t know how I will make everything work out. This is going to be a tough one for me.
This will definitely be one interesting month. Cuz of course…once August rolls around…I will be in PARIS!!!

Where Did All These Girls Come From?

The other weekend a friend from work made a joke about how all the girls come around just when the tide is about to change. She was joking about me going to Paris and getting hitched, and because of this, other girls have been coming into my life.
There was some truth to what she said cuz the very nice week…slowly…girls were appearing in my doorway. First, I go to a wedding as my friend’s date and get a smile from this beautiful blond girl sitting from across. Then back at work, I get a first time ever IM from Hang…so we started to talk this entire past week. Then out of the woods…never could have seen this one coming…I get an email from Shayla. So we started talking this entire week. I can’t believe she found me through Nikki…but I’m glad she did. Then…just moments before taking off for the holiday weekend, I get and IM from Elizabeth. At this time…I’m thinking…”WHAT?!!” I can’t believe there are all these girls around me all at this point in time. I certainly don’t know what to do. So I spend some time talking with Elizabeth and evened showed her around my lab.
Truthfully, I don’t have a chance with any of these, but the fact is that they are around…one way or another…so you know anything can still happen.
