The Divine Diva

It was a good day. My senior presentation went very well with a very good turn out at 27. I talked about arthritis and showed them some exercises so they wouldn't be hunched over. They especially liked when I taught them how to massage hands. They thanked me so much and one woman called to say thank you. It was very sweet. The funniest thing was that a few weeks earlier a belly dancing group had come from a senior home and the 93 year old guy in the group had danced with them. The local news station was there and he's famous now.

Patient appreciation night went very well. The ladies liked the satin hands and lips. The lipstick/kissing personality test went over really well. The ladies really enjoyed that I put on lipstick (actually my MK lady had to put it on for me) and did the test. Did you all know I'm a Divine Diva? Betcha didn't, but I am. Chair massages went over very well and I got 2 massages for the therapist. I had 10 ladies show up. 2 of them weren't even my patients, but friends which was okay with me. I always find it funny that you can still give stuff away and people won't come. This reminds me of the all you could eat free Outback food that I was twisting people's arms to come.

I did had a good group of people to ask whether they would like belly dancing or Rumba lessons. Belly dancing was the favorite although stripper exercise was #1, but I don't know the person that does that and I thought that was pushing it. So I'll track down the teacher later in the week to work something out.

Loan lady came and invited me out for drinks with Diner girl around the corner. It was nice to relax after work with them and chat. Both were suitably impressed by my busy lifestyle with everything. Hey I didn't do much my first 3.5 decades on this planet and I aim for that to be different the second half.

Lunch Time

I had a business lunch with Paper Boy (it's sounds better than paper "guy") today. We met up at Diner Girl's place. One thing I miss about the north is that women rarely smiled unless they were interested. When I first got down here 3 years ago a guy I knew said, "Mike, girls just smile at you down here. It doesn't mean their interested in you." I was still married at the time when he told me and I didn't really care. Now 3 years later I understand what he meant. Anyway I got to shoot the breeze with Diner Girl and her vacation with her folks. Paper Boy arrived and we got down to our business meeting. How as one of the newbies got to be teaching everyone how to do these things I'll never know. Although since I brought Paper Boy into the group I don't mind teaching him. Diner Girl stopped by a few times to chat with us since we are all in the same group. Although I have to admit she did focus most of her attention on me. It was subtle, but I guess that goes with being a young thang.

Well let me get all this paperwork finished. I would like to go down to the oceanfront tonight to see Blue Oyster Cult. Their free and it would be nice to relax down there in the evening.

Where Are All the Single People At?

When I left Starbucks this morning after asking that women out I realized besides my friend Paul all my friends are married. Most don't really care about my dating life which I think may be envy. So I was like okay who can I talk to about this. I did the next best thing and blogged here about it, but it's not the same as talking with another person. So I'm going to have to find some single friends.

The other thing I realized while Diner Girl (who wasn't at our meeting this morning) is very attractive, the woman I asked out this morning was more attractive to me since she was closer to my age. Their was more of a connection and that was a good reminder for me. The other thing I had forgotten is what a world a difference my Starbucks is in the morning compared to the afternoon. My generation is there in the morning so I will have to fit that in at least once a week.

Wow what a crap month business wise. June first it started slow and it has stayed slow. My business is down by half and that sucks. One thing I am waiting for is the massage therapist across the hall is trying to move to NC. When she moves out I'll rent my extra room out for massages to make some extra money. I talked to my friend Rosi today about how she does it on her end. I know her extra room pretty much pays her rent.

Monday's Musings

Wondering today if my friend Paul's father died or not. He told me Saturday that his father had taken a turn for the worse and I know he was already on borrowed time. I've left a few messages, but I still haven't heard anything back.

It is freakin' humid here today. I rarely put the AC on in my car, but today was one of those days. I finally was able to make it over to see my Mom today. Since I hadn't seen her in a few days I did her nails for her. It looked like someone had cut a nail or two of her's already, but they did a bad job. Finally I think I have the nail polish mixed enough that I get better coats with it.

Hoping to get back on schedule this week especially with the gym. I think having a permanent schedule at night will help. Last week's marathon week really tired me out and having my eating schedule messed with caused me to lose some weight which I'm not happy with.

Still no reply from Okie Girl, but since it was a surprise to hear from her no big deal. I like Becca's description of Young Thang for Diner Girl who I will see tomorrow. I'll flirt and see where it goes. That one I'll let her lead.

The Endless Battle

Since the dawn of man the battle between a man's brain and his penis have sparred in how to direct one's actions. My meeting with Diner Girl has started another of these battles. It was a fun talk over Starbucks and it felt more like a first date than a business meeting. There were no pregnant pauses, but more of are we going to step over the line. I kept bringing us back to business. At the end I shook her hand, but I wasn't quite sure if I saw her go to hug me goodbye.

So Diner Girl is incredibly attractive, fun to talk to, surprisingly some self awareness, and a business women. On the other hand I feel her youngness and the biggest thing is that we are in the same business networking group. I don't usually mix dating with business since it can affect so much. Then there's her scent. Damn you could bottle that stuff. I would be like an addict on a corner looking for his fix. So indecision, indecision, indecision.

Scent of a Women

Well I had a business meeting with one of the members from my networking group. She's a very attractive 24 year old and I was prepared for that. OMG I was not prepared for how good she smelled. My friend Paul and I have talked quite a bit on the attractiveness of nice scent on a woman. Suave does a great job of this. So at the moment I'm still intoxicated by her scent. Trying to get my head on straight for the rest of the day. Tried to keep the meeting on topic and not make it like a first date type situation, but at times that is how it felt.
