It’s been the longest slowest day. I’m not making a penny… it’s basically pointless to even be at work…. and I’m working a double.
Good Lord in heaven I may die of boredom.
Slow is the understatement of a lifetime. I’m sad when my customers leave, one by one… and it’s two hours until my next co-worker comes in. It’s beyond slow. It’s torturous.
Finally making it to round 2 and getting an hour break to run home and let the dogs out. Oh joy…
I’m exhausted, and dragging my knitting everywhere with me at the same time. Determined to change my focus and shake my bad boy habit with a brand new cozy sweater, hand knit, slowly… by little ol’ me.
It doesn’t hurt that knitting kills my sex drive.
It’s domesticity at it’s finest. I can knit myself happy in a few hundred mindless stitches. Even if I pull them out- it’s peaceful and gives me time to think without worrying.
I head back to work, shove my needles in my purse and pull out my apron. Oh responsibility… how I loathe you these days.
Hark!!!!! It’s slow… and I get to go home early! ♥ We’ll be eating mac & cheese for the week, but I miss my little Red and she’s burning a fever at Grandma’s. I’m inhaling my dinner salad when the beautiful Baby Chicken sits down next to me.
He’s such a jerk, but he’s so pretty. Silky shiny bald head that’s absolutely SCREAMING “touch me”. Sparkly blue eyes, naughty grin… he’s just a bad habit, walking… plain and simple.
Miss Everything walks up and whispers in my ear…
E- You’re not going to do that again, are you?
J- Absolutely not.
But he’s sure nice to look at, and he can even be nice to me at this point. Well… his version of nice, anyway. I see a glimmer of the guy I used to really like. I think maybe he’s tired of being an asshole to me. I realize a lot just chatting with him…
I have damn fine taste in beautiful things. I love pretty jewelry. I love brightly painted walls. I make my own raspberry jam because mine is better than any other I’ve tried. I’m a bit of a snob, I can admit it. If I can’t afford it, I make it. No matter what it is.
If I want something, then I get it.
My taste in men is very similar. Pretty. Bald. Nice arms. Nice teeth. Nice ass. Tattoos… and most importantly… a Spark. He has to be a little lethal. I have to wonder. He must be a sexual predator in a nice way, and he must be as unwilling to share me as I am him.
I’m looking at this adorable man-child who was my favorite guy for a while and I realize something.
It’s not that I like douche bags… it’s that I love a challenge. A contemporary. Someone with enough balls to give me a run for my money and keep me guessing.
I can’t stand stupid.
I loathe boring.
Don’t even get me started on men that can’t dance.
When I think about the fish that have gotten away, or have been thrown back, unceremoniously…
They’re a pretty hot bunch. They’re well dressed, well spoken and educated. They’re successful, they cook, and they kiss, very well. They read AND can spell.
But… they don’t write… and nothing prepared me for such a weakness.
My archetype of a man happened upon my blog.
The illustrious T, of the fantastic blog Morning Wood.
My internet crush… my Achilles… and the reason I’m climbing in bed with my sweater-to-be and not some darling diversion destined to disappoint me….
Because he reminds me….
If I’m busy wasting my time with the wrong one, I’ll never even know how good life can be with the right one.
Patience is a virtue… and I don’t have any.
Maybe I’ll knit some?
♥
