A Few Thoughts
I never like posting about work, but this time I must. I have a co-worker, an older Belizean woman. She is in her forties and looks FANTASTIC. She has a lot of insecurities about getting old, so she does everything she can to look and feel young. The way she dresses, her intoxicating perfume and the fact that she works out religiously, all point to some sort of mid life crisis. Do women get those? I often find myself unintentionally flirting with her. She'll start off by touching my hands and commenting on how cold it is in the office. It goes on from there. I've met this woman's daughter, while beautiful, daughter doesn't look half as good as mother. A lot of men in the office adore her and flirt with her. And while I know she probably would never cheat on her husband, I believe she is treading on dangerous grounds.
Had dinner at home last night before settling down to watch the Mavericks beat the Thunder. Went to Starbucks to do some reading. Yes, I have a place to do that, but it is so lonely and quiet there. I want to be around people. I'm supposed to go see The Nutcracker at the Bass Hall tonight. I need a date. That's going to be a very difficult task. I have a "little black book" of sorts, but nobody in there is Bass Hall worthy. Don't get me wrong, they are all classy women, but I'm not sure if I can put up with them for a whole night. I may just end up taking my sister.
I have another sister, Milan. She's eleven years younger than me. When I went off to college she was maybe 7 or 8. I have not been back home to live since then. Now that I've returned I turn around and she is twenty years old and in college. So naturally there is a disconnect between us. She complains and gets upset with me at times claiming that I ignore her when we're around family or in some other public function. But when I do take the time out to give her some attention she blatantly ignores me, eventually saying it's okay for her to do it, but I can't do it to her. My brother tells me that it's natural. She's growing up, but she still has some child in her. This is all true, but in the meantime she's pissing me off.
Okay, I think I've bored you enough today. Sammy's Pizza for lunch anyone?
