But first, two tidbits for you all.
1) Picture it. Tonight. Velvet walking dogs through the zone of bars, hopping with people drinking on patios. Velvet in sweatpants. Hair in ponytail. Rain making hair frizzy. Velvet sees the Bartender. Bartender looks very hot. Nice. Could I have looked any worse?
2) Velvet got a text from CL#4NewJersey. What. The. Fuck. Anyway, I called him back because I’ve grown tired of the waiting game. He seemed normal, exceptionally tired, so who the hell knows. Maybe he’s just not into emailing when he’s at work. I have no idea. I hope one day I can make him feel bad for making me feel sick to my stomach this week. I’mportant parts of convo:
CL#4NJ: How was your week?
Velvet: Good, other than the Sammy thing.
CL#4NJ: Have any dates with any cute guys?
Velvet: Not since last weekend.
CL#4NJ: What are your plans for tomorrow?
Velvet: Just running some errands, unless that’s your way of asking me if I’m free. (This was a line courtesy of my wonderful neighbors.)
CL#4NJ: Yes, I’m asking you that.
Velvet: Dueling crosswords?
CL#4NJ: One crossword would probably be more romantic. So, would you like to do something tomorrow?
Velvet: I would love to.
And with that, we have our plans. We’ll see.

Good luck Doll.
I’m just getting a weird vibe.
If I had had a night like that I would’ve put on a blitz for your heart. Or I would’ve seemed a lot more excited than you described.
He seems way to casual about it.

Interesting…I thought this might happen with him.
The bartender??? You think the bartender is hot?
(Did I tell you that at first I thought he liked boys? But, then again, that is a compliment coming from Karen Walker).
Um. I won’t do the whole list, but I thought you’d like to know that I once worked on the parve side of a Kosher deli in Memphis, TN. Oh, and I was a Merle Norman sales girl in a stripmall in Columbus, MS. AND, I stalked and served high profile people for a lawyer in jackson, MS.
It does get weirder.
I can’t wait for an update!

Velvet — You absolutely crack me up! At this point, I don’t know if I want you to find Mr. Right or to just keep looking. I think the NJ guy really likes you. He sounds pretty balanced and sure of himself. And I think he really likes you but isn’t quite sure if it is reciprocated. I especially like the 4 vacation sites and your comments about them — how often are we that honest? Thanks for the mention (what a surprise and I mean it!)
