The Comedy of my Life Lately

I haven't forgotten about you. I've just been enjoying my freedom for a moment. It's actually nice to not have to rush somewhere. I can actually write something and not be interrupted with time.

Max and I are hanging in. We had a bit of a scare a couple of weeks ago but Max seems to be on the mend. Watching him grow older is a painful process. I cherish every moment I have with him. We've been together since the day he was born - sixteen years ago. I know that soon I will have to make that decision. He will let me know when he's ready.

Other news - I've started dating again. I feel like I need to go back to not dating again! Guys are a trip these days. I went out with an older guy - 50. I went in with no expectations. The goal was to meet a new friend. He happened to be a celebrity. Which if you don't know - dating celebrated people is slightly different than dating your average guy. We met at the restaurant. I wore a cute sundress. He hugged me and then it happened. My bra strap snapped! Okay, so my friends already know that as of late I've been having epic bra failure for the past few months. You don't want that to happen on a first date! Luckily I had a wrap and ended up wearing that for the entire date.

For the first half of the date it was all about how beautiful I was (strike one) and how old I am. He couldn't get over the fact that I was not 27 (I'm thinking this is what he's used to dating). He'll just have to deal with me being 30. Let's just say, I was happy to get out into the dating world again but I've got a long way to go.

Wine, wine and wine. I went out to lunch with a girlfriend last week. We went to a sushi bar. Most people know I have a two glass limit (if it's cheap wine - then one glass limit). I am an extreme lightweight - I just don't drink much and when I do, watch out. After two glasses I get really sick. Well, the wine kept coming and I kept on drinking. After three glasses, I had to call it quits. This was on a Friday afternoon. I was sick the entire weekend.

Starbucks adventure #501 - everyone knows this is one of my favorite places to write and as of late I've been trying to find different ones where I'm not known (less interruptions). Well I found one in LA. I walk in get my coffee and have a seat. Well, I'm wearing my Hulk t-shirt with my Wonder Woman chucks. A guy sits next to me and I swear he wouldn't stop staring at me. So, me being me, I say - "Hi." He says "So are you one of those women who I wouldn't like when they get angry?" I laugh because I thought it was a Hulk reference. He's not laughing. I say, "I don't get angry, I get even." The guy gets up and goes to the other end of the coffee shop. What did I say?
