So here�s the thing�Jamie called me yesterday afternoon to tell me that the band is not playing this weekend, after all. It seems the manager who books the club booked two bands for the same weekend. So the-band-with-the-incredibly-stupid-name he and Lou are in got the boot. Anyway, so Jamie asked if I wanted to meet him after work, for a drink.

I almost didn�t go, people. First of all, I didn�t like him calling me that day to ask me out for that night (didn�t want him to know that my only plan for the night was to do laundry, ya know?). Secondly, after he broke our date last week, I decided I was not interested and he probably wasn�t, either, or he wouldn�t have broken our date. Plus, I had curly hair and no bangs, even! Good thing I had makeup with me. Anyway, obviously I decided to go, but I approached it as a friendly get-together with a buddy. No harm being friends, right? The whole time we were in the bar, even, I was thinking we were just going to be friends. Which would have been fine too. I mean, he�s a good person and I like him, but we are apparently not in the least bit interested in the same things (aside from sports). He loves Dubya and thinks he�s done a great job, for Pete�s sake. Of course, he only thinks that because he doesn�t have a clue what�s going on in the world. And I am not just saying that sarcastically, because I have no respect for Dubya (to put it lightly). I mean, he seriously doesn�t have a clue what�s going on in the world. I don�t expect everyone to be as actively interested in things as I am (because most people have real lives which need attention), but�well, come on now. Most of us know that the economy was in great shape when Clinton left office, for example, and now? Not so much.

I will say, though, he is very inquisitive and has no qualms about the fact that he doesn�t know anything. I mean, he doesn�t get all defensive about it � he just asks questions. I like that. And he�s not stupid. He�s just focused on his son and his crazy life, ya know? There are only so many hours in the day.

Now that I�m thinking about it, too, it�s not like Cathy pays attention to anything going on in the world and I still love her, right? (By the way - you know, one thing I actually like about myself is my ability to find common ground with pert-near anybody.)

Anyway, a drink turned in to five and I�m still thinking �This is great. I can be friends with this guy.� And then we left the bar. Since I was parked right there and he was parked a couple of blocks away, we decided I would drive him to his truck (nice truck, by the way). As we�re walking, he starts holding my hand. Um�OK�then we get to my car and he kisses me. Um�OK, I�m not so much rooting for the �just friends� anymore.

People�I have no willpower.

This kid is damn sexy. And one fine kisser, to boot. And not too shabby in several other areas, I might add. Plus, he has really, really nice skin. I like me some nice skin, my friends. Oh and you thought his butt looked good covered in Levis? *ahem*

Anyway, so now that neither of us has anything to do tonight (I was going to see the-band-with-the-incredibly-stupid-name play tonight), he is supposed to call me later. At which point, I may have to tell him that he can�t spend the night with me tonight. You know, because my other boyfriend will be showing up at around midnight.

Of course, that�s not the exact verbiage I will use.

And what is UP with me having sex right in the middle of prime-time ovulation again??????? I really wish all men had vasectomies, like John. At least all the men I know. I obviously can not be trusted to practice a little self control. I guess if I am going to be such a ho I�d better look in to more reliable forms of birth control than condoms.

So, I�m gonna play this by ear. I didn�t tell John about the last time I was such a slut and I�m not gonna tell him about this time, either. I�m just gonna see what happens with Jamie, first. I highly doubt this is gonna go anywhere, but hopefully we�ll have lots of sex before it doesn�t go anywhere. Even if we have it all in one night.

Because kids�this guy is sex-ay.

In other news�well, frankly, there isn�t any.

But have I told you how much I hate the Wednesday section of my workout DVD (it changes every day of the week to work different muscle groups, although they all have cardio on them, too)? It�s the one that works my abs most and MAN it kills me! It�s really sad, too, because these are only half hour workouts. The time spent actually working on my abs is probably ten minutes. And it kills me. My abs are still a little tender today (I actually did Wednesday�s workout yesterday morning). I got sore because I haven�t been working out in months. And you can totally tell, too. Yeah � that too! I had sex with someone new while I�m feeling all fat and cow-like!
