Ohhh Boy!! I tell ya Bailbondsman really has this little southern girl swooning over his crooning!! And then enters Mr. JD getting my MBA (long name I know but cant think of anything catchy right now)!! Mr. JD/MBA came in the picture by way of Ms. Jolie Fatale and her task to make sure that little Holly is still multi-tasking the heck outta Bailbondsman!
So since my job revoked my already PTO I couldn’t go to DC and be in the moment…. I was sad and thought my Martin Luther “The King” weekend was not gonna be too good. Pretty much knew I would see Bailbondsman because we kinda have developed a trend… We made plans on Thursday to hang out on Saturday. This was gonna be our third date and he had cooked breakfast for me so I though he would have been nice to prepare dinner and bring it with me to his house. So I sent a little text asking what does he not eat. His reply was he couldn’t tell me right off but asked what did I have in mind… I say well I was thinking about making Baked Ziti. The next response kinda crushed me, he said No I’m good tonight on the cooking. But can I get a raincheck? I was like WTF? Does he know I don’t cook for everybody!! So I asked well are we still on? He said yes, just no cooking. So in my mind I am thinking this ninja must think I cant cook… HMPH! So I went ahead continued relaxing at home until it was time to get ready! So when I got to his house we chilled.. it was FREEEEZZING out! We watched some movies had some drinks… I asked him about me cooking and if he told me not to cook because he didnt think I could… well apparently he didn’t know what the dish was because he asked me what was in it… P.S. He’s a picky eater. It was a nice time the next day I got up and left for home, he had some work to finish on his house. This time I didn’t wait around for breakfast, I didn’t want him to think everytime I’m there I’m expecting him to fix me something to eat, but I did ask if he wanted me to bring him something. He said no and walked me to my car…. Ahhhhh I like him….
Sunday went by a little slow… I talked to the guy that Jolie set me up with, Mr. JD getting my MBA… Jolie had actually made the connection on last Wednesday but we still hadn’t met…. so he then asked if I wanted to meet for drinks… I was like sure lets go! He gave me the option of a place… he told me he liked a certain restaurant so I said hey why not go there! Now while getting dressed I realized that this was playoff Sunday and the last teams were playing, The Ravens and The Steelers. Now most of you know that in 2008 I vowed to learn the sport of football, mostly cause I know/knew NOTHING about it and second because men like it. I also love Ray Lewis and I wanted to see the game myself! So we met at the restaurant… it’s kinda funny cause I don’t know what he expected but we were both friends on facebook so I’m sure he saw ALLLLL my crazy pics… and I of course had seen his so I knew what to look for. He was just what I expected- tall, handsome, with a nice smile. So we sat down talked about a little of this and a little of that. Pretty much touched on everything and we had drinks…. a lot of drinks! We also talked about football. I told him I was attempting to learn the sport. So after mass drinking and me announcing that I hadn’t had dinner and probably needing to put something on my stomach we left. He walked me to my car, but on the way as we were talking and he mentioned needing to call Jolie and let her now I was fine it was then that I fell… just tumbled down… OMG!!! But he laughed thank God he wasn’t mortified. I don’t think he realized I had toooo many drinks… but we laughed, hugged. bidded each other adieu! We talked on the phone all the way until I got home. It was nice and sweet.. he was def a gentlemen!! THX JOLIE!!! I HEART YOU!! YOU ARE A MAID OF HONOR IF THIS GOES ANY FURTHER!! By the way he and I are going out tonight! Going for Hibachi!!
So it’s Monday, I wake up at 5 AM!!! Suffering from a hangover and and near death smelling the greasy food I consumed last night…. So I got up drunk some water and tried to revive myself. In the meantime I started watching Love Jones…. awww such a classic. I started wondering who and where is my Darius Lovehall…. At about 1 I finally got up… I never made it back to sleep… But I got up and prepared myself to go to the MLK parade with my bestie… at least that where I thought I was going, but this a$$hole tricked me!! We ended up going to try and feed the hungry/homeless!!!! Now I have no problem giving back but d@mmit I wasn’t dressed and I was suffering from a hangover and had post-drunk hunger!!!!!!!! D@mmit I was the hungry!! But I sucked it up and attempted to do my duty got mankind. After the dogooderness we went for pizza and we talked and we really had a heart to heart. I like having a male as a bestfriend… he kinda gives that male insight on actions, thoughts, expressions. So we leave I go home and learn it’s suppose to snow!! So as a cutesy way I sent Bailbondsman a text saying, “Its suppose to snow tonight! Can I come cuddle with you?” The response I got was, “tonight isnt good still finishing up on the garage.” Pissed was the mood (He is remodeling a former garage in his home and turning it into another guestroom). I go over to my friends house and just hang out with her… I then start hearing Kanye’s Streetlights (this is his ring tone) he is calling me and saying he thought he would be finished doing what he was doing pretty late but he was actually done and that if the offer was still in place he would like for me to come over. I told him I would call him in 30 minutes, trying to play cool knowing I was all giddy inside… So I called back in 40 minutes, after I went home and gathered my things for work and told him I was on my way. So I got there and brother was there… I smiled and said hi. They were watching some program on TV. Then brother left and it was just us. We talked more had some wine then went to sleep. At 5 am we woke up and started watching the pre-inaug coverage. I left at 7 and went to work….. No plans made for the wknd yet.
Oh yeah I left my hat at his house he hasn’t said anything about it yet, I guess he’s just holding onto it for the next time I see him….
So as always my weekend was pretty darn eventful! Heck it pretty much started on Thursday! I went out and partied and hung out with friends as usual, even stepped out the box a little… Thursday Mr. Isolation came into town… he has kinda taken a permanent leave of absence from his job so I guess he’ll be in Atlanta more but after today’s event I don’t care anymore, but Thursday was Secret Santa exchange at the job… everyone knows I love pink and apparently someone thought it was a good idea to give me pink stud earrings! Let me just say not a good look at all… but I wore them on Friday to show that I was appreciative. But I went out with Mr. Isolation on Thursday went to a spot that majority of everyone goes… we had an OK time… I guess. One guy approached me in his face, for some reason he thought about bucking the dude. Why, I don’t know as he has often reminded me- we aren’t together! But I think I really showed him in a way that my heart isn’t there anymore, there is a lot of distance there. I also met a guy there who seems pretty cool, I finally contacted him today because I didn’t give him my information and we spoke briefly. He is a Professor at both Emory and Strayer University, surprising because he looked really young, but I guess looks can be deceiving and only time will tell whether he will hang himself or not!
Fridays adventure consisted of getting together with some college friends. It was about 40 of us at a new lounge here! The best part about this night was that is was so warm so I was able to wear a little jumper that I had! Here’s one pic hopefully I will be able to find the rest there were at least a thousand taken by event photogs! This particular day Mr. LA and Mr. Isolation were in town- at the same time. Mr. LA was suppose to come through to the lounge but didn’t make it… Mr. Isolation did and he and I got into an argument- pretty bad from what I heard.. I don’t remember the details! But I ended up leaving that spot and going over to another spot that Mr. LA was and apparently my homegirl was rude to his friend and again I don’t know the details but Mr. LA made sure to tell me my homegirl was rude and that maybe she was having a bad night. I didn’t have the heart to tell him maybe your homeboy was lame! After leaving the spot from here I went home, Mr. LA was suppose to come over! I was kinda wasted though, I had soooo much to drink. But in preparation for him I left my door unlocked. At sometime I woke and saw Mr. Isolation at the foot of my bed. I think I went straight into panic mode- like WTF? Why are you here? Mr. LA is coming over- blah, blah, blah! I even called Mr. LA while Mr. Isolation was standing there to confirm his arrival to my house. Mr. Isolation left right after and I went back to sleep in my bed by myself. Which turned out to be good because I had to make a visit to the porcelain god due to my overindulgence! But tonight is the night I stepped outside of the box, I actually exchanged info with a guy wearing a grill and about 3 chains. I asked him for a card and surprisingly he had one that stated he was a jeweler specializing in you guessed it- GRILLZ!
So Saturday came! Boy talk about a headache! I went ahead and got up ran my errands, met my friend for lunch and started calculating my plans for this day. Tonight was the night I was suppose to get with Swagga 3000 we had talked but never mentioned the plans and I definitely decided in my mind it wasn’t gonna be me, but after my friend called wanting to get out I went ahead and asked him if we were still on. I was a little disappointed by his response but respected the honesty. He suggested that we should get together when he came back from the holidays because he was low on funds! I was ok with this because he could have just assumed that I was gonna foot the bill. So that’s what happened with that… and with the cancellation of those plans my friend and I ended up with Mr. Grillz and his crew at a club in VIP sipping on Champagne, Hennessey, and Corona’s. It was so hood and this nagga was soooo disrespectful! I think he might have hollered at almost every chick in the venue! After about an hour and half I couldn’t take anymore I left his trifling arse! He followed me out of the club too and couldn’t understand why I was pissed!! He thought he was well within his rights! I went home intoxicated and pissed. This night Mr. LA came over we didn’t get down with the get down but instead talked. He told me our situation wasn’t based on sex… all I could do was smirk…. he thinks his a$$holeish nature is okay too! So another night I went to sleep untouched.
Hallelujah its Sunday I am tired and all I wanna do is sleep, relax, and get ready for tomorrow. Instead I was getting ready for my friends boyfriends Christmas party and watching Alice in Wonderland. In hindsight I’m glad I went! I had a great time met two guys here a bail bonds man and another guy who didn’t tell me his occupation (should this be my clue?). Also Mr. Isolation popped up here it’s like he knows when I am vulnerable and other stuff. So he comes we laugh and he acts like Friday never happened, heck I guess I do too! And oh yeah Mr. Essence canceled on the plans talking about wait until after the holidays when I don’t have my daughter…. WTF? As if! DELETE
Today all heck breaks loose I find out this nagga (Mr. Isolation) has went on a vacay to St. Kitts with another female and has posted the pics onto Facebook….. W-T-F???? And when I call to rant and rave he just reminds me we aren’t in a relationship and that he is in his rights! After the series of events this wknd and especially today I have decided I am tired of hearing about everyone else’s rights and will definitely be making sure MY RIGHTS are known and understood. As for Mr. Isolation, the bridge was burned today…. it’s so hard to say good bye, but it’s easy to say hello to new beginnings.
This week has been full of sooooo much… STUFF!! Lets see I think I will do a recap day by day…..
Monday Mr. 40 cancelled our date plans due to his daughters concert… His actions combined with Mr. Essence have led me to think about men with kids may be deal breakers for me…. still deciding on this thought but its there. I don’t know if I am ready for it….
Tuesday text talked to Mr. LA may be going to see him in a couple of weeks… I don’t know still deciding… I really need to just cut things off with him. I don’t think he will make it into 2009, especially because he kinda reminds me of Mr. Isolation with some of his actions and I swear I have to many Deja Vu moments with him. It’s like he will say things that Mr. Isolation has said before and I definitely don’t want to add another Mr. Isolation to the team! It just sucks cause I thought he was soooooo different…. Oh well. Did meet a guy this day… a 2520 (workcite Comeback Girl), a pilgrim, who asked me out on a after work date at Bluepointe. It would’ve been cool if homie hadn’t started the party before I got there. He was tossing back Scotch Doubles like he didn’t have anywhere to be the next day! He works for Merrill Lynch so most of the conversation dealt with financial things not really too much personal conversation going on. I definitely changed his name in my phone to Wino….
Wednesday…. good ole hump day! This day the highlight was finding out Mr. Isolation has been reading my blog! This very blog you are reading right now! (Hey there honey! Hope you enjoy! ) Don’t know how I feel about it just yet, but the kicker was that he said he was showing me support! Also he wanted to let me know he was going to St. Kitts for some festival… by himself. That shyt I don’t believe, but I know him and I know he ain’t paying for a chick to go with him. So in my mind I am thinking he is either meeting somebody down there or someone may have treated him to the vacay. Mr. Essence still had not set a date for this date that he cancelled… and he has his Toy Drive Christmas party Saturday that he invited me to on last week. Another kicker for today was that the girl who hit me insurance company deemed the diminished value for my car at $478!! The damage she did was almost $7000 and my car is an ‘08!!! And the adjuster told me that the diminished value was not negotiable! I immediately contacted my lawyer to let him in on this bamboozlement and win the battle for me!
Thursday…. Got my car back from the body shop… and these naggas didn’t even fix it right! They drained my battery and I was left stuck at my chiropractor. Luckily I have roadside assistance so I was able to get my car jump started!!
Friday- TGIF! I took my car to the dealership first thing that morning!! But soon the day got better and the weekend started out with a bang!! My Dad came into town put together a desk for me and also brought me some of his tasty chili! After meeting him I went to happy hour at Peppers this great little eastbumbafcuk place that has $5 crab legs and they are actually GOOD!!! The next stop was to an anniversary party for an alumni Kappa chapter! It was here that I met a new character for my soap opera life. My friend introduced us… she knew all the Nupes that were there due to her husband being one and a member of that chapter. I think Imma call him Swagga 3000 until I can think of something else more catchy or cutesy! He was soooo swaggerific and full of charm! We probably exchanged numbers within the first 30 minutes of meeting each other. He was such a freaking cutie and so freaking charming. Very PDAish too which I don’t know how to feel about since I’m not too touchy feely especially with someone new… But we had a great time and soooomany people took pics of us and one of my friends homegirls kept asking him did he get my number. Another highlight of the evening was another Kappa that I use to talk to was there and he was soooooo making sure to be in my presence. I mean like all in my face and had the nerve to tell me before I left that I could come through to his house if I wanted to… I gave him a nice smile and simply said… I’m sure your girl is taking good care of you and walked off. Where in the hell does he get off thinking that I would even go there especially after what happened between us!!
Saturday… Due to the amount of alcohol I consumed on Friday I completely forgot about my breakfast date that I had planned with an old friend during his layover… When I came in the house on Friday the first thing I did was put my ringer on silent. Thank God I just so happened to look at the phone when he sent his text telling me he had landed!! I was running around my house like a chicken with my head cut off!! But I got ready and made sure I was looking cute because it had been almost a year since the last time I had seen him! So I got to the airport we left and had breakfast at the cutest little breakfast spot. We talked and made plans to get up when I came to Chicago…. it was fun being on a "date" with him. I forgot how much he made me laugh and made me feel special…. but I don’t think it could work now especially with him being in another city…. So after I dropped him off then sent a text to Swagga 3000 and from that point on we were on a text marathon that lasted from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm when he met me up at a spot that I was at with some friends. When he came in he looked soooooo nice… he had just left a fraternity function and still had on his suit.. And he was definitely wearing it well! He didn’t drink but I did… he showed me a lot of attention and was very doting… I must say I loved it… At one point I looked at my phone and he had sent me a couple of texts telling me how pretty I was looking… now I’m not narcissistic but that definitely had me smiling… After that we all (me, my friends, and him) went to the Waffle House. When he had stepped away to go to the bathroom one of my friends homeboys told me he definitely could tell he liked me and that he seemed pretty cool… I like Swagga 3000 but imma keep the love locked down as well as the draws for a minute, mainly because he just got out of a relationship 8 months ago and I am not trying to be the rebound…. so in the meantime I will multi-task that ass and have fun & get to know him….
Sunday… today… Getting over the slight hang over I might have from the wine, text talking to Swagga 3000, and went into work just to put in a little grind time….
P.S. I did not go to Mr. Essence Christmas Party and will definitely assume that his dating dilemma is due to his actions and not the women in Atlanta….
So Mr. Essence and I didn’t have the date at all. I received a text while at work that he wasn’t going to be able to make it on Sunday and that maybe we could do it another day this week…. I was kinda bummed because I had gotten my little feelings all involved and ready to see what this nagga was talking about, but I didn’t let it show I just replied with it’s okay we can have drinks when you cook my meal …. He owes me a home-cooked meal since I won the bet on the Florida vs. Alabama game. His reply to that was ,”Cool! What do you not eat? Red or White wine?” I simply let him know I don’t do chitterlings (or anything in relation) and I don’t do White Zinfandel (I’m too grown for that)…. We went back and forth a little through text… still not setting a tentative date (this really irks me because I really don’t do last minute dates/plans with men). But I did become enlightened that he has two kids- girls ages 12 and 13, and not by the same woman. One is in South Carolina where he is from and the other is here in Atlanta. This gets me to thinking about his article because I remember he mentioned that he use to play professionally overseas I am kinda guessing that his luck on the women is karmic because we know how some professional athletes are- big-headed…. Now we just gonna wait for him to set the dinner date…. if he doesn’t then next Sunday I will probably delete him from my phone.
So since my original plans were canceled I went out to the mall with one of my homegirls… we did a little shopping and decided to go to Hooters. One thing I can say is I have found where a good bulk of men are in Atlanta on a Sunday- Hooters in a part of town I rarely ever venture out to! So now I’m gonna have to make it my business to travel there at least once a month ! Mr. 40 who I met at Old School Saturday came through… I sent him a text just casually saying I was in his neck of the woods… next thing I know he’s asking where and can he stop by. I’m like sure because I forgot what he looked like anyway and I am sure he didn’t remember what I looked like either!! I met Mr. 40 about 3 weeks ago at a monthly event called Old School Saturdays. We peeped each other before going in- he was parking and I was walking with my girls. We made eye contact then but didn’t talk or exchange numbers until I was leaving at the end of the night. He was still cute as I remembered and definitely not looking 40 (hence the name Mr. 40)! We have a date tomorrow evening- will it be canceled??? Lets see…. as the world turns….
Today is Friday and I have a serious case of Attention Deficit Disorder going on… I am doing everything else but what I am supposed to be doing! That just means my Saturday afternoon will be filled with me logging on from home and completing things. I went out with my girls last night and had toooo much to drink… Even attempted to drunk text Mr. LA (who is either in DC or on his way to DC for his Alma Mater’s homecoming), my friend begged and pleaded for me not to do it but I did it anyway. See I didn’t tell him I was going out because I didn’t want him to think all I do is stay in the streets. So when I sent my drunken text I said, “Hey fell asleep! Are you still awake?” Luckily he was asleep and didn’t respond. But for some reason I woke up about 1:45 AM pissed to see a missed call from him… This morning though I was happy that I was not up to answer because for one it shows I’m not breaking my neck to be available and two, there is no telling what I would have said to him!! So this morning I sent a little text message wishing a good morning and safe & fun trip… it was well received!! We went back and a little but I ended the chit chat with a smile… Can’t wait to talk Tuesday to see what happened….
My plans for tonight are to meet up with a friend I haven’t hung out with in a very long time and have some girl talk while shoe shopping and eating chocolate…. TGIF!!! J
But I got up and prepared myself to go to the MLK parade with my bestie… at least that where I thought I was going, but this a$$hole tricked me!! We ended up going to try and feed the hungry/homeless!!!! Now I have no problem giving back but d@mmit I wasn’t dressed and I was suffering from a hangover and had post-drunk hunger!!!!!!!! D@mmit I was the hungry!! But I sucked it up and attempted to do my duty got mankind. After the dogooderness we went for pizza and we talked and we really had a heart to heart. I like having a male as a bestfriend… he kinda gives that male insight on actions, thoughts, expressions. So we leave I go home and learn it’s suppose to snow!! So as a cutesy way I sent Bailbondsman a text saying, “Its suppose to snow tonight! Can I come cuddle with you?” The response I got was, “tonight isnt good still finishing up on the garage.” Pissed was the mood (He is remodeling a former garage in his home and turning it into another guestroom). I go over to my friends house and just hang out with her… I then start hearing Kanye’s Streetlights (this is his ring tone) he is calling me and saying he thought he would be finished doing what he was doing pretty late but he was actually done and that if the offer was still in place he would like for me to come over. I told him I would call him in 30 minutes, trying to play cool knowing I was all giddy inside… So I called back in 40 minutes, after I went home and gathered my things for work and told him I was on my way.
