Tuesday talk

[tiramisu]

Morning ladies! How is everyone today? Tell us all the things.

[gault]

I'm working from home today. There's a winter storm warning, plus work is slow right now. Therefore, no pants and HGTV while answering emails.

[tiramisu]

gault hooray for no pants! But a winter storm warning?? WTF mother nature, it's April.

[tiramisu]

The guy I met on St Patrick's Day kinda freaked me out last week. We were trying to figure out getting together for food, but there was miscommunication and we both had other things we were doing, so it ended up that he was hangry when we were texting. But he became hard to understand and was clearly frustrated and I just wanted no part of it. Well, yesterday he invited me to be his navigator for a race in May. This dude is a mess. Can't plan an actual date, but can do that. I'm done, so I obviously need to communicate that more clearly to him. But WTF to asking me to be in a race?

tiramisu, what kind of race??

I'm guessing some kind of auto race.

Man, stories like gault's make me glad I live further south. April was a prime month for ice storms when I was a kid growing up further north.

I made an Almond Joy pie last night--coconut cream pie with some amaretto in it, topped with almonds and chocolate. I hope the recipient likes it!

[bullygirl979]

tiramisu, that's kind of weird. I'm not knocking you, but P does this for his brother now. He navigates and feeds him information. P and his brother both used to race so P knows how to do this. But I am not sure how you effectively do this if you don't know how to race?

udscoobychick, that sounds AH-MAH-ZING!

Oh it makes zero sense. This guy does not have great executive functioning, let's say, even to think through whether or not that would be a good or logical choice.

The night we didn't end up getting food together, he'd wanted me to join him while he drove by houses. In the dark. About 30-45 minutes away from my place. There are so many reasons I'm not interested.

[udscoobychick]

That sounds so weird, tiramisu.

Thanks, bullygirl979. It's a riff on MIL's coconut cream pie recipe. Thankfully, DH knows not to take it personally when I play with and tweak his family recipes! My mom always gets so (mostly) mock-offended when I say I changed something about one of her or my grandma's recipes!

From an outsider's perspective, it reeks a bit of him trying to show off, instead of him truly considering if you are the best choice.

I think it's that and him really not thinking about who I am and what would help us get to know one another. I declined and he just responded that it's more of a drive to raise money for a battered women's shelter (his words) than a race.

[bullygirl979]

tiramisu, okay, that makes a bit more sense. I mean, I kind of get it now as you do a lot of fundraising/non-profit stuff and it isn't really competitive.

[cuddlyevil]

I am tired. We had storms overnight and a lot of rain this morning. Then the temperature shot up along with the humidity so we are now at a modified risk for severe weather this evening. Yay for possible tornadoes? Tomorrow, we'll be back in the 40's. It's no surprise that my sinuses can't get it together.

He knows none of this about me though. Regardless of what it's for, I'm not interested. If you saw the screenshots, it might make more sense. But yeah, he's not right for me.

That sounds amazing!!! I love almond joys candy bars. I love all things coconut.

I've been crazy busy at work. I have 29 days to get a project of CDS finished before I head off on vacation. I am feeling the crunch. In other news, diets going well and I can do crow pose again in yoga. I also booked my hotel in Thailand. There is a pillow menu. I feel fancy AF and after this month at work it will be needed.

[margarita]

That is all so odd tiramisu. I would not be comfortable with that either.

I am back home from Florida. My MIL is doing really well. She and FIL ended up flying home last weekend and H and I got home a few days ago, just in time to exhale and have a quiet Easter. The IL's celebrate on a different calendar, so we'll see them for Easter next weekend. I'm glad we went and were able to help them out, but it is such a good feeling to be back home.

[tiramisu]

margarita, that's great to hear! I'm glad she's doing better and that you were able to help out. I can imagine what a relief it is to be home, also.
