Oh, and Single Person Oppression Day!  I had a good one this year.  It started with Fashion Sewing Club, then a first birthday party, and then a super fun all-girls dinner party with delicious lasagne and at which I convinced everyone to watch "Earth Girls are Easy," one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time...or at least of the 80s ( Read more... )

One thing I forgot to relay about the last time I saw the Skydiver ( Read more... )

So I have (obviously) been totally lax about updating things with the Skydiver.  We've been seeing each other a little less than once a week--maybe around every 10 days/3 times per month, partly because I've been traveling a lot for work (Germany and Paris, I'm sure you're crying a river for me).  So I'll present it in montage form.  Insert ( Read more... )

I think the Skydiver has adopted a new tactic.  He is going to try different creative approaches to get me into bed.  Last Monday it was the intimacy approach--me being in his house, snuggling on the couch to watch a movie or (as it turned out) in bed for a nap.  I think he hoped it would feel like he was my boyfriend and I would accidentally have ( Read more... )

Apparently when I said I was upset that he didn't call me after we slept together, the Skydiver took note.  When I got home from the gym last night he had called and left a tentative message on my answering machine.  I'd forgotten to tell him that I had my downstairs neighbor record a menacing "couple" outgoing message to scare off my stalker ( Read more... )

This is another long one, but there is some juicy stuff in here.

So, I decided to go ahead and email the Skydiver.  I have had a cold and said that I probably wouldn't be up for anything too energetic or outdoorsy, but how about a movie and/or dinner over the weekend?  He said he'd be busy with the Hasher's Red Dress Run on Saturday, but he could do ( Read more... )

When last we left the Skydiver he had not responded to my email.  Sunday night I was podcasting with Della for our sewing blogs when I heard my cell ring.  For some reason I gave him my cell number, not my home number, so I figured it was him calling.  Ha.  I was glad I was too busy to get the phone.  Sure enough, when I checked it was him.  He ( Read more... )

Ugh.  So the Skydiver did eventually respond to my email:

Hey sgda,

mmmm apples... You could make some hard cider. =)  I think I'm going skydiving on Saturday to west point, VA for the day with a few friends.  Want to come?  Beerfest was good.  Yep, I volunteered.  I got a couple of free tshirts from there as well as a tasting glass, and a backpack ( Read more... )

Having *still* not heard from the Skydiver, I emailed him.  Just lighthearted chit chat, no demands for time, attention, or engagement rings.

Hey Skydiver-

I guess I can't complain about it being cold today as it is actually October.  I object to cold weather in September, but am resigned to it in October.  That doesn't mean I don't whine about it a ( Read more... )

I was going to have as the subject line, "Celibacy is over."  But all I know for sure right now is that celibacy was temporarily suspended.  Trying not to count my chickens and all that.

So on Thursday after I finished at the gym I rode the train super far-ass away into Virginia, walked through the rain while getting splashed by cars, and finally ( Read more... )
