Rules revisited...

Before I get into revisiting the Diz Rules...I paid up on the Super Bowl bet last night. I pulled out all the stops. I made a tequila drink to start off with (1 can of limeade, 1 1/2 cans tequila, 1 can water, 1 can pineapple juice) which was met with enthusiasm (he pretty much drank the batch). After a tour of the crib (he helped tear down the old, but hadn't seen the new), I started dinner off with the Caesar salad, the mussels in white wine and shallots and clam chowder, along with french bread.

After that, we had the crab cakes and eviscerated the lobsters. I gutted my lobster with expertise, and showed Mr. SV how it's done.  We ate so much that we didn't get to the Tiramisu.  Ah well.  Any further details and conversation we agreed would be Vegas and never happened. So....

Today, after cleaning up the dishes and shopping for paint for the door trim, I headed over to my BFFs to engage in some "Day Drinking". While there, I was harassed by her and RW about my "Rules". They came up with every argument about me even having rules and said that they were unnecessary.  RW said that at the rate I was going, my vag would be cobwebby and dusty and that I'd never see any action because there's only 6 guys in the universe that could fit into my rules.

What???  Really???  I don't agree with his statement.  I think my rules are pretty common sense and reasonable. It's been bugging RW for awhile, because the topic came up many times during the visit. I did agree to combine two of the rules, so now the rules are as follows (but not necessarily in this order).

• Don't play in the work pond
• Don't play with married or engaged men
• Don't play with men the same age or younger than my boy
• Don't play with men who don't have their shit together
• Don't play with the brothers of my girlfriends.

They absolutely hate the last rule and said that I need to relax a bit and just have fun. It shouldn't matter if they're related to my friends.  The problem is that it's difficult to separate conversations and to know what you can and can't say to whom. If a friend tells you something, you can't mention it to the brother until the sister mentions it to them. Otherwise, you overstep boundaries. There's nothing worse than to say something and share information that probably should not have been broken by you. UGH!!!  I just don't need complications right now. I'm complicated enough for myself, let alone the guy I may be seeing.  

I can tell that I'm not going to win this argument with my friends.  I just have to do what I feel I need to do to be right with myself. And like I said before, it's always possible that I'd break my own rules due to understanding that sometimes, things just happen. We'll see.

Anyway Peeps...I'm headed to bed.  I have a lot to do tomorrow.
