Funny how they all seem to come back into our lives....

Fall is coming and I find this time of year when I hear from men that I have not heard from in months and or years, either by email, text or an actual phone call which I always find amazing that some men still even know how to pick up a phone. To be honest I find this happens to me a lot ( my girlfriends know exactly what i am talking about) because they always get the call from me ... "you will never guess who just contacted me” ????? 9 times out of 10 they can never guess because I probably have not uttered there name in ages (nor want to utter there name ).
Well I am not a number saver ( there is probably a good reason why I don't have there number) so if I have not talked to you in the last 6 months to a year chances are you are not in my phone so when I get a text from you are you really expecting me to know who you are ??? Please don't be surprised if I ask who it is and still don't remember when you tell me….. because I can barely remember what I did last week..lol

" what you don't know who this is ?" (Ha, love that !)
" you don't have my number , i still have yours ."
" i think about you all the time , what? you don't think about me? " (ya you have thought about me that much that it has taken 6 months to a year or longer to call...LOL )

I will ask ,"when is the last time we talked ? " and i love this .." a while ago "... OK a while ago or a long while ago.. a while ago to me is 2 or 3 weeks not a few months or years !

You never know who will be calling.... Thank God for call display...lol

Here is a little something i got today from someone I have not heard from in over a year.....
the heading was...

Straight Up And Dirty by Stephanie Klein

I shaved my legs for this?????

A old friend from when i was in college and I had ran into each other on the street and hung out a few times to catch up. One of the times she decided to set me up on a date with a friend of a friend of friend. I should have known right there and then not to agree to the date, but decided to go for it anyways what did have to loose!

So the next day she calls me up says to meet my mystery date at Cactus Club on Broadway @7pm, that evening! I was like okay "what does he look like?" and my friend responds..."Oh he will be wearing a black shirt and pants with a red rose in hand". I thought to myself...I wonder how many men have done this on blind dates and if there will be like twenty men like that when i get there!

So I arrive at my blind date on time and no sign of my date. I wait ten minutes, then another ten minutes. I was about to leave when he shows up. No apology, nothing and instead of giving me the rose he sat in down on the table next to him. I was like okay whatever! We introduce ourselves and start talking....or should i say he starts talking...and a lot... now I know I am a big talker and i blab on forever a lot..and i have no problem admitting this...but this guy wouldn't shut up and i mean wouldn't shut up and not just about everything...just about himself and his ex and why they broke up and how heart broken he was...I have compassion for broken hearts...but this guy looked like he was going to jump of the Granville street bridge. Well at that point I think I was going to do that myself!

So finally he asked me a question about myself and asked what i do for a living. I told him I worked in the fashion industry and at that time I was Buyer and Manager of a store. He looked at me puzzled and said..."You what?" I repeated my self and his response was " Oh so how long do you plan to do that for, but really that is no way to make a living and we plan to be together, i cant have you be doing that job?" I looked at him in horror and said " Excuse me, if we plan to be together, this is the first date and who said we are going to be together and all you talked about tonight is yourself and not letting me talk and now you insult me?, sorry but i have to go...I think my phone is ringing, and it most likely more important than this date"

The next day my friend called me and went way off on my about my behavior...and i said " You should date him then!" I never heard from her again.

Lake love.......

wish i was relaxing by the lake like last weekend... a girl can wish !

Amazing Sunset ......

On my way home from a great Labour Day weekend in Maple Ridge BC driving back to Vancouver there was once again a amazing sunset..Have to say we have had some great ones this summer and even better cloud coverage with the sunset coming right through them.

MISREPRESENTING MALE

After many people suggested internet dating, I decided what the hell let's see what everyone is raving about. So, I decided to give the infamous Lava life a try. I put up my picture did my profile and I was all set to start dating. LMAO – I came across this Adonis of a man who said he was a model and immediately commenced communication with me. Since I’m a sucker for a pretty face and bod – wow – I agreed to meet this man at Lily Kazzily's outdoor patio by the water. He contacted me by phone but wouldn’t give me his number because apparently he has had psycho women stocking him (alarms are going off already). He calls me at 8:30 p.m. to confirm we were meeting at 9:00 p.m. at the patio. I arrived found my table in the corner and ordered a drink while I waited. 9:00 p.m. came and went and no Adonis. I would have left after 20 minutes but luckily some very young cuties came to save me from looking all lonely there in the corner. LOL. Of course, I welcomed the company. I finally left the place after midnight had a great time but was miffed at the fact this idiot stood me up. The next day, I got an email from him saying that he was at the bar but didn’t see me so he left. Stupid ass couldn’t call me. Whatever!! Anyway, after some pleading to give him another chance, stupid me decided to give it another shot since there was a chance that he arrive late and didn’t see me sitting alone. I told him to meet me for a walk by the River (summer time very public area). I parked my car and waited. Cars came and went and I did not see this Adonis until I heard a male voice call my name. It was a man coming out of a 1970’s style rapist van coming towards me and he surely was no Adonis. I had the urge to run. Lol. I don’t know where the hell he got his profile picture but there was no way it was him. This non-Adonis introduces himself and has the nerve to say I didn’t look like my picture (being the nice person that I am), I didn’t scream out “well it least it is a picture of me” asshole. I made the best of it and walked with him although disappointed with who actually showed up. Within 5 minutes into our walk he was grabbing my hand, trying to kiss and hug me. I told him if he didn’t slow down the date would be over. Since it was getting chilly outside he suggested we sit in his (rapist) van. I, in turn, told him we were going to sit in my little Sunfire that was facing all the people walking by. We talked a bit more knowing this date was going straight to hell. He started talking dirty to me and trying to kiss me. I told him to stop or he could get out. He did not heed my warning and tried to come in for a kiss. I lost my mind and screamed at him to get the F@#@ out of my car and never contact me again. I kicked him in the ass as he was exiting my car. I was fuming and thankful that I didn’t get into that guys van. He actually had the nerve to ask me out the next day via email. I told him what part of don’t contact me again didn’t you understand. He became abusive in response so I blocked any further communication from him and took down my profile from Lava life never to return to internet dating. I’ve decided to take my chances meeting some random guy somewhere that I can see face-to-face and make my own determination of what kind of individual he is from personal interaction rather than electronic interaction.
