My Heart’s In Overdrive and You’re Behind the Steering Wheel

I was driving home last night after a day at work where I desperately tried to keep my eyes open. I was thinking about how much I wanted to crawl into bed in my sweats, tell the South Beach diet to fuck off since I complied perfectly and didn’t lose any weight the 2nd week, and shovel some non-South Beach food in my mouth while watching trash t.v. Then I saw my little computer, nestled in its place on my desk. I had been in a hilarious email convo with some cool chicks, and I was wondering if there were more exchanges while I was driving from work back to civilization from the hinterlands. So I sat down at the ‘puter.

The first and only thing I can focus on is an email in my inbox from NewJersey. There was more to it than this, but you know I can’t copy and paste the emails anymore. The gist of it was, “It’s Valentine’s Day Velvet and we should be doing something.” Emails went back and forth. A phone call came. Plans were made. I would pick up dinner and he would come from work to my house. And that my friends was our plan. I would like to tell you that he followed through and that was that and sign off, happy that my details remained private for another post.

BUT I CAN’T! Because there’s more that’s worth discussing!!!

When he got to my place, I opened the door and found him with a bottle of wine and flowers that he jokingly called Pansies, but they were yellow roses. I adore this man! We ate. We watched t.v. We slept. We fulfilled the (bleeped out) promises of aforementioned IM conversations. We woke up. We went our separate ways to work.

I stopped at the grocery store to stock up on beverages for the office. I called my boss to see if there were any special requests. When I arrived at the office, he helped me unload. Then, all I did, and I swear, is grab something off the printer for myself and saw he printed something so I brought that to him as well. And he said, “You’re being especially nice today, someone must have had a good Valentine’s Day.”

Someone did. At least two someone’s that I know of.

    It’s so much easier to enjoy a date when you haven’t an entire day to get nervous about it.

    This is turning into quite a show. “On the next episode of Velvet in Dupont…”

    In case anyone is wondering who “Madison” is in the comments section, it’s my brother talking for our niece. You know, the niece who is just turning 5 months old next week? Yeah. We’re normal. I know.

    Disclaimer: Of course I will change the sheets you ass. But keep reading.

    To everyone who is bombarding me with emails saying “So glad you had sex!” Where are you reading that? I said we made good on promises that were bleeped out. I never said it was sex.

    Just sayin.
