Well, I have an evening that I am looking forward to enjoying! I have floor tickets to see Jake Owen/Little Big Town/Sugarland. I saw Sugarland open for Brooks and DUNN 2 years ago and they were great! Jennifer Nettles has so much energy on stage and damn does she have a set of lungs on her. She did a song with Jon Bon Jovi last year.

Can I tell you I am excited that it's finally FRIDAY?

R is going to the concert with me. Romeo is going with his g'friend. I hope I get to see her! Several of my students have told me they are going too. My only decision is what the hell am I going to wear?????

Tomorrow-- I get to sleep in !!! YEAHHH!!!!!!! Really, to be able to sleep til 10.. God do I need that. I"m moving a bit s-l-0-w-l-y today.

I have just a couple of gifts left to buy~~

Hope you have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Hi ya'll. It has been a busy weekend for me. I have really slacked in blogger visits and in blogger posts. I apologize cause I really miss your comments when I am away.

Today is Veteran's Day observed and I am off from work, but have class at the college tonight. I debated on going, but I need to save an off day for when I really need it and not when i'm just feeling lazy!

OK just a start of my weekend. Friday, I left work and came home with no plans. About 30 minutes after I got here, by doorbell rang. Romeo showed up. I haven't seen or talked to him in a few weeks even though we live across the street from each other. HE came in and started telling me about the Greg Allman concert last weekend. He said how I should have gone because his girlfriend only knew a couple of the songs. Well, if you guys remember I asked him to go and he flat out said no, he had other plans. Well, my phone rings and I have Direct Tv--so the caller is displayed on my television. It's Reagan and wants to know if we can go to dinner somewhere. Of course I said yes but that I needed to get dressed and paint my face...he said he'd come over. Well, R is sitting across from me and listened to out entire conversation and plans we have covering the next few weekends...So when we hung up he gave me some ?????? about all of this. I told him a few complimentary things about the Professor. He seemed a bit taken back. I told him over again, you and I talked about dating and our timing is just off, and you seem pretty content about your g'friend..so what's up? He said well you never know how things will work out. I just don't know ..Well next thing you know he says there is a car in your driveway. Professor made it here in like 10 minutes. R jumped up and said do you want me to go get the door for you. Ya'll he was nervous. HELL, I was nervous! Professor looked good! He was in a coat and tie....I was impressed. They introduced themselves and I stood there in my living room a tad bit uncomfortable. They talked cars cause Prof has a fully loaded decked out Mustang that really is sweet. Bill left and I know when he pulled up all weekend he saw his car over here. I am just wondering if he is having second thoughts now?????

Comments on any of this????

Romeo

I am a bit bummed that I haven't had many comments as of late. *sad face* = + (


I skipped class last night and went shopping for a new tv stand for my other bedroom that I am trying to redecorate. I finally found one for 100 bucks at Big Lots. Well, Angel drove me around in her dad's truck until we found something. Well, I called Romeo across the street and got his voice mail. He called me back about ten minutes later. I asked him to meet me at my house and help us unload this HEAVY box from her truck. Sure enough he came over, helped us carry this in and he put it together! I spent 2 1/2 hours. He is so sweet and funny. I really like him. I made it clear that he is never home. He spends so much time at the girlfriends house. *sigh*


He met Angel for the first time. He had her laughing in stitches. He does just enough to flirt with me....She thought he was cute and fun to be with. I REALLY wish he was single!


Well, how does your world feel today?

OK, so my day went alright. ........

I made it through the day okay. I decided to work when I got home. I am in the process of resorting and decluttering one of my bedrooms---that I have forever called the "cat room". It houses their food, treats, toys and litter boxes. It also holds 7 or 8 boxes of stuff along with my treadmill, an entertainment center and a TV....It did hold my DVDs and my old cassettes (yes, people I am that ancient when it comes to my music) You are lucky I didn't say vinyl.

I was sorting through and mind you managed to ditch 2 garbage bags full of stuff...my door bell rings~ I look to see whose car is here...no car. So I throw my school clothes back on and find Romeo at my door. I feel like I looked like crap as I had my hair up and feeling in the declutter mood. He comes in and say you don't have any light s on...well, Yes I do...but there on in the back bedroom because I am working in there....So he decides to make it clear he came for a visit. So i go in the living room, put my stuff down and turn on a light. Our conversations go well. His grandmother just found out she has cancer in her lymph nodes. She is 83 so he's a bit concerned even though they don't have the best relationship. The girlfriend is still in the picture. I enjoy his company---but I would have finished those boxes if he hadn't made it over here. Oh well. He was here 2 1/2 hours. He just left.

I'm going to grab a bite of dinner and shower......

Will my timing ever be right?

Labor Day

Ok...because of the questions that I received...Yesterday The Direct TV man showed up about 9:30 in the a.m. He spent an hour or so working in my yard from last night, installing the dish and the wires. Well, about 10:30 A lady stops him to ask directions. He sends her to my door, as I give her directions I see Romeo's G'ma, and Mom leaving for church. Well, I knew he was home alone....Then as the TV guy gets to setting things up, I find out I need a power strip in my bedroom. So after tearing up the house looking for one...I call across the street get his voice mail and ask, is there anyway you have an extra extension cord with several outlets laying around that I could borrow? Call me back. About 10 minutes later , he calls says all the ones they have are in use...SO I ask if he would come over and watch my house while I ran to Circuit City to get one. He says sure, He's fresh and clean and over here in 2 minutes. (NOW MIND YOU I AM A BACCALAUREATE AND DID NOT PLAN ON ANY COMPANY OF THE MALE PERSUASION--MY HOUSE IS A WRECK) Last weekend Angel was here for 2 nights with the concert, I spent the morning going through my big pile of junk mail on one of my sofa's... I am not one to make my bed...and I had a pile of clothes on my bedroom floor a silk robe hanging and jewelry all across my dresser...OMG my bedroom was a total PIG sty!
SO I leave him here with the TV man. I RUSH to the store...knowing he is taking a tour of my house ( i know I would have of the situation had been reversed) and tried to get back in a flash.

Well, he ended up just hanging out til 5:30 yesterday afternoon after getting here at 11:00. The TV guy left about 1ish....Romeo seemed to enjoy talking to him and asking him questions about his job and the company. But he just hung out after he left. We sat and talked and talked and talked. He gave me whirls of information about "the girlfriend". They have been seeing each other 13 months now. He says he feels like he would be betraying her trust by doing things with me. He has since changed his mind and said he doesn't think we should go to a concert together. He says' "It only takes one second for things to happen, Rebecca". I was hurt in my marriage with the wife cheating on me, and my girlfriend was hurt too. She has given me a lot of trust. I don't want to break that trust. She doesn't know about you yet". He opened up about a lot of things to me in 6 hours. From his sex life with the ex, to how he enjoys the GF's two daughters, to they kind of house he;d like, to some of the assholes he works with. I mean we covered a HUGE array of topics. I told him I thought it was cool that he felt so comfortable talking to me about this stuff. I mean the ex had a boob job and he was upset about it....to apparently she was a nympho, to his life when he was in a band on the road and the groupies he encountered. He says for so many guys women are just a conquest. I am not one of those guys. (this was refreshing). He seems to be such a sensitive guy. It makes me like him even more.

Well, now it's Monday one thirty and I got up did dishes unloaded the dishwasher and rolled my hair, no make up yet. I see that he's at home on a Monday and I am shocked he's not at her house. I called and left a voice mail asking him to call. It's been 20 minutes, no phone call. I am NOT putting on make up if I simply don't have too. I wanted to ask "So is there anything we can do that you feel safe with today????"
I mean the dinner being a date in his eyes, I am getting to understand. We definately have an attraction factor. BUt the concert, I am a bit thrown off. Buddy Guy is playing in ATlanta this Wed, and I have never seen him, Romeo has several times and loves his blues. He said it's the middle of the week (i get that) but then I am disappointed. I would have felt like hell, but dealt with it for him.
OK..he has the most kissable lips. They look so soft and I want to just lean over and kiss him something fierce. Tell me I am a nut job and it's a hopeless situation. DAMN

Whew, I feel like I could sit here and type for an hour (i'm not that fast, it would take an hour) . But....since my day did not lend itself to me the way I had planned, I wanna just send a shout out and say hello.

Direct TV came yesterday after 3 phone calls on my part...they guy got here about 6:30 when they said he'd be here between 1-5. I was in a fussy mood after wasting all of my Sat waiting here. Well by 9:30 last night he tells me he will have to come back tomorrow. Hence, he got here at 9:30 this morning and left about 1:00. So much for me sleeping in on Sunday. Anyway, the short of it is, I now have Direct Tv NFL package and will be able to see every SAINTS game as the season start this week. Preseason is over.

The SEC did really well this weekend. LSU beat Miss St 45-0. ALabama , Auburn, Georgia, and Florida all won.

I still have pics of B n D to post from last weekend. I am so behing when it comes to blogging.
Romeo came over this morning and spent 6 hours here. I wish he'd split with the misses. Better yet, I just wish she would split with him.

To direct Tv I go.....
YIPPIEEEE I have tomorrow off!!!!!!!
Wahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

MY FEET HURT!!!!! See I am all swollen...HELP HELP HELP

I am alive...the kids are too, I guess this is a good thing. Right?

It's too early to tell, but they seem ok so far. I have a couple that will work my nerves, but for the most part so far so good.

Have I told you my feet hurt yet? I need a good man to rub them.

Send me one good looking sugar daddy . I'll wait......

Nothing exciting here. Romeo was home when I got home, but I was too tired to even look in the direction of his house. He was gone all weekend. Ya'll I think it is a lost cause. I get the feeling he's comfy with his G'friend. I mean he's over there ALL the time. I also think he's not big on change ....I'm just plain worn out. I also wanna give up on men. I think I should only love the gay ones. (even they can work your nerves though)

School is dragging today. Parents are just trickling in after they rushed us at 9:00. I wanna go back to bed!

Got my mind on Romeo. My head just tells me leave him alone. My other body parts say give him a week or so, find a concert (I have already looked and found a couple that would suffice) and call him. I was hoping he would come see me. He told me he was nervous when he was at my place. He also said he felt like he was taking a chance by just coming over. I said twice "I'm Glad you are here".

I should have told him I thought he was handsome. I didn't feel all that attractive with no make up and not an good outfit. Ya''ll, I want to go out with this guy!!!!!!!! At least, I want to opportunity to date him and see if we are compatible.

What can I do??????

I asked him for his number, cause I told him I felt uncomfortable coming over to G'mas house. He didn't ask me for mine = + ( DAMN IT!!!

******New Day******

It's Wed now, I typed the above yesterday...and didn't publish. After work yesterday, I ran some errands and picked up mascara--it is the best I have used PRESCRIPTIVES--"False Lashes". The new teacher on my team just had a birthday, so I picked her up a tart burner and yankee candle tarts in a variety of scents. I also got her a lavendar candle (she said she likes the scents). The entire grade level went to a local mexican place for lunch. It is now 3 o'clock and I am just getting to my room......

After all of my shopping last night, I got up, unpacked my car and walked to the end of my drive way to get my mail...as I walked back to my garage Romeo came out and walked over. We spent an hour and a half talking. You know I like him if I STAND OUTSIDE in this HEAT, just to talk.

What do I do next if anything?

Well....I made it through the first day of school. I am sleepy though. Lots of meetings today. I spent 30 minutes in my classroom. *sigh*

My main mental stuff today was thinking..or trying to talk myself out of liking the guy "Romeo" across the street. Yesterday, I cleaned and vacuumed the house and did some laundry. Well, about 1 o'clock I broke down and called Greg (he works with Romeo---he's a good friend of *T's.*) Now mind you I called him twice this week. But, I got his voice mail and said, will you just call me back and leave me Romeo's number on one of my phones. I sat down (but fortunately, I rolled my hair first because I planned on having dinner with *A*. 1:30 my door bell rings...I think it's my aunt and automatically go to my back door that leads to my garage. No. other car in my drive way. Mind you, I am in my bra and undies....so I throw on a black dress with a blue collar and run to the door. Well, Romeo is 1/2 way down my sidewalk. I was surprised. (Hello i had ...and had sunglasses on top of my head because i had not yet brushed the curls out of my hair after rolling it. (At least I didn't have rollers still in). I invited him in. He's only been in the front yard. I was a bit miffed cause I know I looked crappy. At least I only had one blind to my sun room open and the Venetian blinds at the breakfast table open...

Ok rather than type out 5 or 6 paragraphs, let me sum it up. Then people like BG, Rach, Christine and Mick can tell me their thoughts.

Bad-negative aspects in black, a flip side in red............

1. He has a girlfriend. They have been dating almost a year.

2. He said he feels a bit smothered and isn't sure where it's going.

3. He has been separated for 16 months and divorced for 13.

4. The ex wife had the gastric by pass surgery, lost 100 pounds had some plastic surgery done, and then cheated on him. When he confronted her, she picked up her stuff and left him. 3 months later she was pregnant and remarried. He felt devastated. They were married 17 years. No kids.

5. He's a guitar player hence we talked about music 2 hours easy. We definitely have that in common.

6. His G'ma has fussed at him by saying "Why aren't you dating the girl across the street instead of who you are seeing". (Go G'ma!!!)

7. He said he was flattered last week when he found out he was the topic of conversation at work. Greg asked his boss what Romeo's dating status was and was he available. His boss tells him this Wed. Well, come Friday the boss says....'So why aren't you dating the girl that lives across the street from you? I hear she's cool". Romeo is like Umm..How do you know about the girl across the street. Well, she's a teacher and her name's Rebecca. So how serious is it with the girl you are seeing...???????

8. He said I do love her, but I'm just not sure where it's going. Can we start off as friends?

9. He said, I want you to know I have noticed you for several months now. I've seen you mow your grass and I have seen a few guys at your place, so I thought you were dating. He described 2 of the guys. (Hey he checked them out pretty well to give descriptions) It ends up he was talking about *B* my gay friend and I explained that. The other one I think is *A*. Rebecca, I think you're a pretty girl.
(I covered my face and said, I am so sorry I don;t have make up on. He says "you're pretty with or without the make up. "

10. I asked him if we could do dinner or a concert sometime. He said "No, dinner would be a date", a concert we could do.

I'm confused, and disappointed.
