Okay...I've called the Late Night DISers, now I'm calling the SINGLE DISers!

[Pin Wizard]

SuprGro...Thanks! He is quite something!!!

Suzanne...Have fun with those papers you'll be grading. I should do some major reading for my classes. Hmmm...read two lines, think of darling heart throb, read another two lines, think of him some more. That's the way it's been going since last semester!

TigerBear... I'm so sorry your ex-grandma-in-law passed away. Go ahead and get rid of those tears!
Good luck to your sweetie on his boards...I hope he did REALLY well!! And have fun at the movies.

Legs...Yes, I suppose it's good the cards are on the table.

TB. I can't believe some of the silly things that people will disown their kids/grandkids over. I think I finally lost ALL respect for my dad when he agreed with his brother for disowning his daughter (my cousin) for being a lesbian. How can you really love someone when you know they'd disown you for something like that? What a waste. Sorry about your ex-GM-IL (was that right?)

SuprGro -- I want your job, too!! But only in the summer.

TB -- what's your boyfriend's specialty? I don't know if I missed that info. Fingers crossed! What happens if they don't pass???

 

[Disney845]

Wow...lots of interesting things going on in all of your lives since last I was here...darn school and work...it is encroaching on my DISing time!!

PW- OMG I would have about freaked out...actually nix the about part...I would have had a full blown panic attack!!!! Glad he wasn't weirded out by it or anything.

Leggs- I think you are making the right choice by NOT accepting the job. It doesn't sound as though they are offering you anything that would entice you!

Doc- hope you are feeling well again!

SuperGro- your job does sound very interesting. I know that you mentioned working on the Mona Lisa movie...do you have any more big budget movies on the horizon?

Suzanne- hope nothing is seriously wrong with your father. Where were you on a field trip to?? Hope things with the guy you are seeing (ok he just needs a nick name like the rest of our guys...how about...ummm...thinking....ummm...."teacher guy?" ok I know it isn't very exciting...but I don't have a lot of info about him to go on...and my brain isn't up to the task of thinking up something more interesting ) will work out. Sorry that he has some "stuff" in his life to work out, of course I don't know what his "stuff" is, but I assume most of us have "stuff" that needs working out. If you think he is worth it, I'd hang in there for awhile to see how things go.

TB- so glad you are back! Good luck to your boyfriend on his boards. Sorry to hear about your ex-gmil. But even more sorry to hear about your (lack of) relationship with your own grandmother There are still some people in this world who just DON'T get it!!!

Barry, H_O_P, CA, MR. D, Astrid- haven't heard from you guys in awhile, hope all is well!!

OK did I leave anyone off...sorry if I did....

 

[Disney845]

OK now that I have responded to all of YOU guys, I thought some of you might be interested in how my weekend is going so far

Thursday night "work guy" came by work to confirm our date on Friday. I ended up going over there after I got out of work that night and we ordered pizza and watched tv. FINALLY got into the comfortable hand holding, snuggling mode!!!!! All was really nice.

Friday I had to work, then we were going out. We saw Along Came Polly (it was cute). Friday was also the day that we first KISSED!!!!! ***sigh*** it was so very cute. Have I mentioned before how I LOVE how shy he is?? I hadn't slept well the night before (Thursday night) and had worked all day before we went out, so I was exhausted. Almost fell asleep on him quite a few times...well 20/20 wasn't very exciting last night Decided that I REALLY had to go because I had errands to run early this (Sat) morning. I know that he was reluctant for me to leave, but I had to get some sleep. I have today off, but he is working...he asked me if I would come over tonight after he got out of work We are going to rent a video.

 

[BarryHom]

If you rent a video, I wouldn't anticipate that you'll see the whole thing.

Ooooooh... no you haven't. TELL us a little about it!


First kiss!! SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I want a play-by-play)

 

[SuprGro78]

Disney 845 There was Smooching!!!! I am so jealous! We need a few more details please. (Not too many but a few would be nice) Don't leave us hanging here!


NO big budgets in the future, but that could change any day. I got a call about doing reshoots on some movie of the week in Vermont, but I haven't heard back.

Does anyone know how cold it is in Vermont? I think I am destined to get frostbite at work this year.

SMOOCHING!!!!!

 

[house_of_princesses]

I'm still here. Now that I'm a workin' gal, don't have as much time to do the things I want to do. Oh well.

I read all the recent posts. May I say, it's so nice seeing all of you rooting for each other!! How nice to have a place to share lifes little victories, setbacks and dilemnas. It's a blessing to be added to the list.

I need a nick name for my 70+ yo man. Hmmm, cemetary man? Would you believe he asked me to his birthday party that his daughters are hosting? Oh, what's a girl to do?

Oh well, must go to bed. Sleep well!!!

 

[house_of_princesses]

Smooch report, please!

I'll have you know that we did indeed see the entire movie! Last night I met him after he got out of work. We went to the grocery store and got the stuff to make tacos for dinner. It was nice making dinner with someone. That is just one of those many little tiny things that you don't notice how quaint are when you are in a relationship, and then miss a little bit when you are not. Then we watched the movie, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It was pretty good. I don't know if anyone else ever has this problem though, but it seems like everytime I rent a dvd from blockbuster it is scratched and ends up skipping a bit. Might just have to go back to good old fashioned tapes.

So I think we have reached the point of "coupledom." We were talking last night and he asked me if I was seeing anyone else (umm like I would even have time to see anyone else...between work and school, I have spent almost all of my free time with him lately). So obviously I said no, and I casually asked him the same question. His answer was no as well. Then a few hours later he says to me something along the lines of..."remember before we were talking about if we were seeing other people, and neither of us are..." "ummm yeah..." (and this is so cute because it seems like it would be something that would go through my own head) he wanted to know if I would be comfortable if when referring to me or us that I was his girlfriend (ok when I type it that sounds very 7th gradish.... but to have heard him say it, all tentatively like he was afraid I wouldn't be interested in that, was sweet and endearing) or if that would make me uncomfortable. So we are "together." We also talked about the age thing, I mentioned that I was at first concerned he might have a problem with it (remember he is 8 years older than I am) be he has no problem with.

Going back to his place tonight after both of us get out of work. This will be the fourth day in a row that we have seen each other...wow...hmmm.....

Geez guys!!! You want me to kiss and tell?? OK a few more details...

As I said, on Thursday night we had pizza and watched TV at his place after I got off of work. We were playing with the kitty on the floor tossing her toys to her and stuff, but it was very cold (he is remodelling his house, I think I mentioned, so the old flooring has been ripped up in the living room, and new flooring hasn't been put down yet, so it is just concrete). We ended up putting a blanket on the floor to sit on, and started to get more cozy next to one another. This led to some hand holding and then eventual cuddling as we watched tv and played with the cat.

Then when we went out to the movies on Friday night, about 3/4 of the way through the movie he took my hand, and then when we left the movie we held hands. We went back to his place and were watching some tv (goodness, I haven't watched this much tv in the past 3 months combined!!! Although truth be told, I often don't bother watching it, I just close my eyes and rest, I feel so old, I HATE being tired from school and work all the time ). He has a small living room and there is only a love seat and a chair facing the entertainment center. He is a tall guy (over 6') and even though I am much smaller (only 5'4") it is not too easy for us both to comfotably relax on the love seat. The best position seemed to be him laying down on it...and...well...ummm...me just sort of laying on top of him

He really seems to like my hair (I told him once that that made one of us!! It is naturally rather curly, but I like it straight, and sometimes when I blow it straight it has a tendency to get a little frizzy.) and he is constantly playing with it and running his fingers through it (ok there is almost nothing better than that!!! I mean I could probably purr right along with the cat when he does that.) Anyway he is playing with my hair, and was placing little kisses on my head and eventually the kisses moved to my neck and face and then my lips Truth be told it was extremely awkward at first...kinda one of those...ok are we both going to actually make contact with our lips "together" right now? But after that it was nice. And since then there have been many kisses, although that is ALL!!

I am so sooo sooooooo happy to be taking this at a steady, even pace, it is doing wonders for my normal anxiety levels about relationships. I am such an overanalyzer and worryer about everything, but I think that because things are moving along so steadily (as opposed to throwing all of these emotionally charged things at me at once) that I am doing a better job of processing them and remaining calm and extremely content! His shyness and reserve are actually helping me to remain calm and collected as opposed to being constantly worried about where this is going, and how fast it will be getting there. Plus I honestly think that moving it along at this pace will be helping to provide a better foundation if this should continue and become even more serious.

OK was that enough for you guys?? Did I ramble on enough about myself?? You really shouldn't ask me to elaborate on things, I tend to get carried away talking about myself!

 

[floridaminnie]

Me and my guy are HISTORY! To say the least he's emotional unavailable and needs to grow up a bit. He's still living his faternity years and I'm not into that. Plus I don't like to be compared to his ex. Also, everytime we were together, he would always always always answer his cellphone no matter what. What's up with that. Ok, so time to move on!

Went to WDW yesterday with my mom and Brianna. Ended up enjoying my drinks too much at Wilderness Lodge (where we ate lunch), but was fine by the time we left. Talked way too much to my mom, but she has offered to watch Brianna on Sundays for a couple hours each week so I can have time to myself. I took her up on it today! Went and saw Mystic River which was awesome! Also used my AMC card and have earned enough points for a free movie! Yippee!

Disney845...good for you! He sounds like a great guy and sooo sweet!

HP....we need to keep on eye on you and your 70 year old!

SuperGro....All I know about Vermont this time of year is that it's way too cold for me! Sounds like you have a great job though! Have fun and maybe you'll find someone to keep you warm!

 

[Pin Wizard]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Disney845!

Oh, Suzanne! I'm sorry it didn't work out. But isn't it good to know what you will/can deal with and what is absolutely unacceptable? Saves soooooooooooooooooooo much wasted time! The good part is you're out there trying. Sounds like a good weekend!

 

[floridaminnie]

PW...like my mom and I were talking about this weekend I'm too old for some of this junk. We were recounting the men I've met in the past ten years, and I've had some BAD luck. It's about time for me to turn it around! That's my goal for this year!

 

[Pin Wizard]

Good luck with it, Suzanne! I'll be hoping you meet someone right for you.

 

[BarryHom]

Suzanne is available again? Cool! I ought to sent her some flowers. Shh...no one can tell her! I know some of you will.

 

[TigerBear]

Thanks PW, Disney, and Doc.

Suzanne, I'm glad you realized so soon that you deserve so much more.

Doc, my guy is a child psychiatrist. It been quite interesting dating someone in my field (my ex is an attorney and he never seemed to value my profession). I love having someone to ask all of my med questions too! So many of my friends have told me that we should go into private practice together. It seems so complicated - I would never even consider it unless we had the same last name. And neither of us is ready to even begin that discussion yet....

oh THAT would never do! that is definitely a deal-breaker with me, and my profession does not make it easy to find someone who both has a good job AND appreciates my profession. ah well; c'est la vie.

so you are a clinical child psychology PhD?

FLMinnie-- well that was a quick one! Good for you for not wasting your time. I tend to let those linger on a little too long... the ones that start off really well before I find the faults. Either I'm not interested from the beginning, or I procrastinate dumping them. Who needs that?

Disney -- i love reading all the details! We all know I don't have a life of my own! Keep it coming.

Barry -- hey you know there's a thread on here about people who have never been on a date. maybe you could get the hook up from some CB'ers.

 

[BarryHom]

Well, I can always date new suckers.

 

[SuprGro78]

Dis845 Thanks for the details. Lately I am living vicariously through others.


Florida Minnie, thanks for the good thoughts. It's better to have ended things before you went crazy like I did with my last BF. When you know things are wrong it's best to stop.

 

[SuprGro78]

Tigerbear I know you meant having the same last name as in getting married, but I was just wondering ladies. Would you/Will you change your last name? I have both my parents last names and I can't imaging changing them.
