A rare treat?

And no, I'm not talking about yellow cake batter by the spoonful... Unless you have some.

You know, sometimes I struggle to find something to blog about, and then there are times when I can't blog often enough to keep you all in the loop. This is one of those times. So, as of my last post, I had decided to date like a guy and play the field. And I have been a bit. It's been strange for me, but fun too!

And things with Ben have gotten strange. Funny enough - Ellie - he's having some kind of issue accessing his finances, and could I do him a favor...? He wouldn't fess up about what the favor entailed, so I of course refused, and things have just been weird ever since. Hardly any communication over the last week or so, and what little there was, wasn't the same. Luckily, "playing the field" has been a great distraction - aside from the first couple of days where I was pretty bummed... Ice cream didn't even help!

Well, one of the underplayed outfielders has been a guy named Ron. We'd sent a couple of messages online, but hadn't actually chatted or spoken over the phone or anything. As many of you know, I'm not much of a "phone" person. At least, I haven't been - probably since I turned 15... Shana you'll have to verify! I'm the 'what's up?-what's new?-what's the purpose for your call?-'k-good luck with that-talk to you later' kind of girls. Well, boy am I glad for free nights and weekends now! Because Ron and I have been on the phone every night (except for one), and for several hours! I'd estimate that we have talked for about 7 hours over the past few days alone. And I am extremely anxious for Ron's visit next week! I won't say more just yet, only that I didn't think I'd find anyone that could outshine the idea that I had of Ben. But I'm happy to be wrong... ;)

Glad you are exploring lots of options. Now just be sure to stay safe next week. Meet in public places.....no being alone with him....you know the drill.........
I expect Ben will be off looking for the "pot of gold" literally. Good riddance....

I'm glad the whole thing with Ben is over considering his need for a favor. Good luck with Ron.

RUN FROM BEN. Whew! Change your number and your locks. Do not cash ANY checks from him. Try googling "nigeria check cashing."

yeah for Ron

I would like to confirm the whole talking on the phone thing. When we were in High school you couldn't get us off. Now that we are older you cannot get us on the phone. LOL - I cannot wait to hear about you meeting Ron. Keep up the blogging as I need the distraction during lunch.
