"higher power" humor

Funny, God (or whatever your real name is), very, very funny!  You're such a smartass. Guess that's proof I was made in your image.

Within a half-hour of my previous posting (where I briefly mentioned the minimalist aspect of Dave's phone calls), I arrived home to a message from him!   
ha!  He congratulated me on the job & asked me to call him back.   okey-dokey!

I love his sense of humor:  he suggests that we go out to celebrate by drinking tequila shots until 3 am!  His sense of humor is so dry & he plays it off so well, but of course I know he's being silly. He knows the next day is my 1st day on the new job, & that I can stay up WAY later than him, especially drinking tequila!  He'd be passed out & I'd be still partying & then I'd just HAVE to do stupid embarrassing things to him with any props I could find depending on our location & take pictures to post on the internet...... (yeah, somewhere inside this middle aged woman is a frat boy, alive & well.) Here, pull my finger.

He has some business-y things brewing this week, so his time is committed anyway.  Tempt me with tequila, ya big tease, and then run away!  We agree to reconnect & do something Fri or on the weekend. My Fri night plans to see a chick flick dissolve, so I call & leave Dave a message after I got off work.  (wow, does THAT feel good to say....when I got off work...!!!! big grins!!!)  We talk today (Sat) & decide to do something tomorrow..  I'd mentioned brunch & he thinks that sounds good, but he's not feeling great today after eating at a new pizzeria last night.  OK, remember when I said I was going to be more observant?.........    I offer the idea to just touch base tomorrow morning & see how he's feeling, & make any plans from there.   He shares that he wants to set something now..... because if he doesn't schedule it & know it's a commitment, he'll get lazy tomorrow & think of reasons not to do anything.  He further comments that if he doesn't make plans, he'll just drift along and the next thing you know it will be a month & a half down the road and he'll suddenly think, Hey I wonder what Tamster's doing?   Yes, he did say that.

The good part of that is that he seems to know himself, & isn't afraid to share that openly.

The notsogood part of that is it doesn't sound like someone ready to be a "serious boyfriend" let alone more. And although I am massively in support of days (or parts of them) vegging out to movies in yer undies, overall I am of the opinion that life is a juicy interesting colorful amazing buffet themepark candystore meet&greet to be inhaled savored embraced ......... smiling as much of the time as you can.

And remember, I'm not going to change anyone, & I have no desire to be anyone's therapist.  Been. Done. Failed.

Dave is going to pick me up tomorrow at 11:30, and we're going to an interesting part of town to hang out & see what tickles our fancy.  I'm going to sleep on what things I may want to say, or questions I may want to ask.  Both him and myself.
