Saturday slumming…caution may cause extreme laziness
So it’s Saturday.
For the first time ever, I was physically excited to return home while we were landing at SFO. I clapped my hands quietly and squealed at my seat mate as we had traveled from Philly to Las Vegas and then home. He was a simple man in his 60’s who waited to have kids until he was 40 and has been with his wife for 33 years. He used to drive cabs and now he’s a clerk - she’s a school teacher for 3rd graders. Son a sophomore at Boston College, daughter a senior at a performing arts high school.
I never talk to folks on the plane and have to admit that this particular conversation was driven (for the first time in AGES) by a usually dormant predatory instinct. Yep, I saw him - a lonely widower perhaps? and decided to strike up a conversation with illusions of his renovated Victorian, season pass to the Symphony and quiet candlelight dinners dancing in my head.
Oh God, don’t let him be gay - I hoped.
Well he wasn’t gay - just very married. Good guy to mention it upfront and still a class act by offering me a drink coupon so we could share a plastic cup of red wine. :) I took a cup of cocoa instead 
Oh well.
At least I fucking tried and you know your girl RARELY does that anymore….
Meanwhile, I’ve managed to get my saddle back on the horse and head out yesterday for a 5 hour trek with my realtor. Saw a magnificent house that inspired me to pen a truly pathetic letter in an attempt to distinguish myself from the rest of the herd. Oh well, we’ll see how it goes.
Today I’ve been languishing around the house enjoying my solitude. The place still looks like a bomb hit it so that’s the ONE thing that I will be doing today. It’s now 2pm and I’ve watched Nurse Jackie as well as True Blood episiode 6 online thanks to sharing folks.
Lovely!
Now it’s time to get down to it.
Procrastination is absolutely my middle name.
But enough is enough.
Yawn.
No I will absolutely NOT decide to take a nap.

I was what you might like to call a “late bloomer” in the boyfriend stakes. I got my first boyfriend at the age of 24. I had gone out with one other guy, once, and that was it. I had given up all hopes of ever finding a man who would look at me, let alone want any sort of relationship with me. It was embarrassing at work, any time there was a nice guy he was either married or gay, or, if neither of the above, the mere fact that I was speaking to him had every person at work leering and making comments.
When I finally gave up looking, there was Beloved, right in front of my face. I’d known him for years, a friend of a friend, and we’d often gone out together as part of a group.
I guess sometimes the fairy tale does come true. I hope it will for you as well. Complete with beautiful castle.
