SATURDAY SPINSTER BLISS

'

(Cue the shocked gasps of surprise and delight.)

A visitor?!  At CS2 ?!  AND IT IS OF THE MALE VARIETY!!!???

I'm not quite ready to relinquish my spinster status just yet, but after conferring with my Council of Trusted Advisors I have decided to stop spinning around like the nutball I am trying to figure this out every damn second of the live long day and just...enjoy the adventure.

The truth of the matter is that I am 51 years old and haven't one single clue how to behave in the presence of another person.  I don't know how to be normal enough to sit on a couch and watch a movie or go to dinner or a walk without agonizing over every "should" and nuance and rule and implication of every single word, gesture, or thought.

In other words...I am as hapless in relationships as I am in every other single area of my life.

My last relationship was with Stewey, and that one was pretty easy once I realized that he was the boss and I was the bossie.  Yes...I catered to his every whim and wish, but that was my job as his person and Mommie and it was the priviledge of my life to do so.

But this is a little different.

This is a grown man who seems to be relatively self sufficient thus far, and who wouldn't know a silk smoking jacket if he fell over it.  I suspect that this man just wants to spend time in my company, so rather than overthinking myself right back into sitting here staring at the walls by myself...I should just learn how to chill the heck out.

And so the adventure begins.  The good news is that my friend understands the importance of this thing thing of ours in my life, and he is keen to encourage me to stitch.  That fact alone tells me he's a keeper.

So let's hope for the best and get on with it, shall we?

Here's hoping that you're doing something with somebody you love today and that you'll come tell me all about it.  WooHoo!
