The family is in. Just when I need more alone time, they all show up. When I say "the family", let me be more specific:
Jenny and her two kids
Helen and her husband and their two kids
Mom and Ed
All in my house.
Oh well, it's not bad yet. Mom and Helen have been good thus far about making sure the boys do all of their eating and drinking in the kitchen instead of all over my newly-recovered furniture.
I really wish I were able to return the favor and introduce Shelly to my family this weekend, but you know I just don't think I could handle all of the comments (Wow, she's really cute" "Don't let that one get away" "We really liked her a lot"). I have heard those comments a time or two before from the family and it makes me feel like a massive LOO-ZAH (like I have a choice in the matter when the gal decides she's not interested in me, Lord knows I wish I did). I know they don't intend it to be that way, but that's how I always interpret it.
Who knows, maybe someday. Just not today, nor for the near future. Not with her, not with anyone. Not for a while.
You know I have withdrawn when I am not really interested in a sex buddy =P. All I need for now is my computer and some good DVD's. (why does that make me think of the scene in The Jerk right after Steve Martin leaves his fancy home and he's muttering that all he needs is this and that, and always adds stuff to the list as he passes it and picks it up?)
Dammit! Why doesn't Doom3 save the cheat codes I put in? =p (yeah, the emails are caught up)
