girl friend

Its been awhile since I've blogged or have dated anyone (since January)

Ive been a loner most of my life. Although I am not sure if I am comfortable in my own skin, as they say. But I do like finding things to do alone.

R pulled me aside Sat nite and asked why i didnt buy her a tix to the concert. I bought only one. Not sure if she would go. Not taking any chances of getting hurt. I go to the symphony by myself. I go to eat in restaurants by myself. I am going to the curve party by myself.

Its not that i dont have potential dates, two, in fact. I am not interested. When I am happily firm with someone, i stay faithful. I like the intimacy knowing i belong with someone who gets me, who can read me, who gently strokes me.

So for Saturday, I worked in the garden alone, planting my avocado, komquat, tangerine, and meyer lemon trees. Then I dug the space for my arugula and lettuce. Finally, I mowed the backyard and put up the arbor for the jasmine bush and grape vines to climb. Sunday was Easter; I needed to run down to lil Saigon on Story to pick up some banh cuon and banh uoc for lunch with EJ. Of course, I went to Easter mass and picked up some Easter baskets for EJ-socks, eggs, chocolates, bubble bottles, racing cars, and stuff animals (Dont recall in my childhood of ever celebrating Easter with egg hunts or getting any gifts). Anyhoo, we had a beautiful luncheon consisting of ham and Vn food, coconut lamb dessert made by Jojo (now 11) and backyard Easter hunt. We gathered in the garden sipping ice tea and martinis and chatting about life. It doesnt get any better than this.

On Monday I finally got All Star Glass to buy my window regulator from BMW for only 139 (normall 400) and they will install it for 120 for a grand total of 259 not 700 (what BMW dealership would charge me). After getting home, I re-painted my entry door, a 2nd coat. I still need to fill in the trim and re-paint that as well. I cleaned out my kitchen and cooked dinner. Alas I fall into bed alone with my dog. At least I have him. god, I am glad Lent is over so I can now go find a girlfriend or boyfriend. hmmm that handyman or servicewoman seemed yummy now.
