Tuesday Fun

Although last night's fun is over, I certainly had a great time. It's always nice when people buy you shots and margaritas!  I got home safe and sound, finished watching my movie and went to bed.  

Today, I exercised, showered and headed downstairs to bring back my movies.  As I was at the ATM machine, M walks by and asks what I'm up to.  I told him I was going to hunt down a little lunchtime snack and he said "Let's go to lunch". 

As we're walking down the street together, he says "let's go eat Subway".  I just start cracking up.  Really??? Subway??  When there's so many places to visit around here?  He makes a comment about not having sophisticated tastes, and I correct him and tell him that it's not about that, but just stepping away from the ordinary. We head to a place called Norma's and it's exactly what I was thinking.

While we were there, his daughter came in to get the keys to the car, so I got to meet her.  She's very sweet and very pretty.  We had some great conversation and talked about using "E-tickets" and all sorts of odd bits of stuff.  It was fun.  We also talked about a certain "J" and I was upfront about my visit here.  Do I see something happening between me and M?  No, but that would totally fit my MO these days.  Go for a guy that you can't have a relationship with, who lives far away.  Yeah, I know....

Anyway, he's very sweet and nice, and I have the feeling that he's not a player.  We even discussed that whole thing. But again, we were just out having fun and a nice lunch.  

Afterward, we headed back to the resort and I saw S and chatted with her a bit.  Now I'm headed back down, so I'll finish up this blog in a bit.

I'm down the street at Dundee's sucking down a raspberry Shock Top and eating chips and dip. I refreshed myself on someone's post on FB and they said something interesting. They said..."Be Intoxicating".  Shall we break this down?

Definition of Intoxicate: to stimulate or excite.   This means that I don't have to be the most beautiful woman in the room. I just have to know myself well enough to accentuate my strengths and minimize my weaknesses. 

How many of us can say that we know ourselves well enough to do this? This means being completely honest with yourself and most of the time this is a difficult task.  I was describing myself to someone and they asked why I was so hard on myself. I didn't see it that way. I saw it as an honest assessment.

Do I see myself as ugly? No. But I have flaws and am able to recognize them. It's these flaws all put together that make my looks interesting. I'll never be the perfect model type, nor would I ever want to be. But I can point out my flat nose or the cleft in my chin, or the t-scar by my eye. It is what it is. This does not make me any less intoxicating as the woman next to me. I can be real about it. But in most cases, I'll be a hell of a lot more interesting than the model in the room because she's never had to develop a personality or intelligence. She's relied on her looks to get what she needs and unless the guy is looking for a trophy wife, she'll eventually bore him to tears!

There are exceptions to every rule of course, but the thought of "being intoxicating" is an interesting one and bears further scrutiny. I love the idea of being that woman that men find intoxicating and irresistible (except to loony-assed stalkers who leave notes on your car)!
