Good things ar coming...
So, I've got a new job (yay!). I start Tuesday full time througha new temporary agency working for a medical home monitoring system. It's similar to my time at Honda, taking inbound calls from patients and updating test results for their doctors. I'm happy to be getting out of the house again and this opportunity couldn't have come at a better time because I leave for Seattle on April 11th! So I'll have at least one weeks of pay and my final EDD check before heading off for 5 days. I cannot wait!
I talked to C and she and I still have to figure out what touristy / non-touristy things to do while I'm out there visiting her and A. So far I've asked her to take me to their public library, because it looks great! So there's that, Space Needle, the very first Starbucks...Taking the ferry to see the location for Grey's Anatomy. So there's stuff for us to do.
Another positive, I've started dating again, really good because I was starting to think too much about my ex again...Mostly because he asked to see me recently, he was in town, and I agreed. I mean I still wanted us to stay friends after everything, because I'm that freaking awesome, so I didn't think much about it. I hadn't seen him since December and last talked to him in January-ish...with the exception of texting him on St. Patrick's day. That was the day we met last year, so I thought it made sense to just say hi. But new guy, Z, is pretty great. First date I got flowers and I always get my doors opened for me. :) There's something about that chivalry I'll always like and want in a guy, who knows where this might go.
On a side note, my friend A, has an old co-worker, J, who has a crush on me. I've never really thought too much of it and just thought that was sweet, but honestly I'm not attracted to this guy. She's tried to sell me on him a few times, only because he said something to her. And here's part of my issue, when I first had come to A's work and met her team, I was heavier than I am now. And at that time I think I had just started to date my ex, O. ANYWAY, the next time I saw J was after I had broke up with O and since that time I had lost a lot of weight. Now J, by no means, at the time was "fit" or slender, he was a pretty big dude. A and I went out and walked around her store and by the time we had come back J had gone to lunch and another associate was there. She then told us how after we left, J kept talking about me and said that I had lost a lot of weight. Here's my issue, so was I not as attractive when I was like a size bigger, but now all of a sudden I am? WTF? I looked just the same before my break-up, dude. Now granted, since that happened J has started a new job and is slimming down...Which I didn't even notice until A pointed it out the last time I saw them at her going away party.
J's a nice enough guy...but there's a but. And this last friday when we all hung out, he text her that he'd like her to work on me to go out with him and this was my response. "Ok, I'd probably go out on a date with him, but really more because I'd feel bad about saying no. I mean you never know what can happen on a date with someone. So, I think I'd probably go on a date with him." And the very next day I get a message from him. Bah...we'll see what happens. I know this probably sounds a shallow, but whatever. I know what I like and am a pretty good judge of character with people. J seems like a cool guy to hang out with and get to know...be friends with, but date...I'm not so sure. Part of me wants to tell A this, but then I also don't want her to get all "oh my god!" on me...so if I'm asked on that date I'll go and see what happens...maybe by then Z and I will be a little more exclusive?
On another note, Z and I have so much in common, it's weird! I do like him and am excited to see him again...and kiss him again. ;)
That's all for now, Happy Easter!
