Nuage Neuf

I'm pretty sure the translation of Cloud Nine is mangled in my blog title today, but I just don't goshdarn care today!

My day didn't start great, being Monday and all... The kids were late for school (transit failure, big shock), and I still hadn't heard from Mr. Hottie. A friend of mine text messaged me asking about him, and when she found out he hadn't responded, she told me to text him again. I thought about it for a while, and got a second, third, and fourth opinion (oh my!) and decided finally that I should do it just in case yesterday's didn't make it to him, and then leave it up to him forever. I sent a message saying I had a great time, and just wanted to make sure he got my message. That was before lunchtime. No response.

My inner bitter self came out, and I swore off men, and swore at myself for being such a fool for misreading his signals. I wanted to take a break from dating altogether, and just hang with the girls.

After work I made a call about a car that someone recommended to me, and although it was Standard, I dearly wanted it. So now I am the proud owner of a 1996 Sunfire! One of my favorite cars! I had to get a friend to agree to teach me to drive a stick, but I own a vehicle once again! Once I get the hang of it, no more relying on public transit and their dependable failures.

In the midst of all the vehicular excitement, I got a wonderful text message from Mr. Hottie. I was stunned! He apologized for not answering my texts right away (no need, really), told me he had a great time dancing with me the other night (oh I will melt!), and wants me to pick a night to get together again!

All in all, it was a great day! The pessimist in me is waiting for the bad news, but I am trying to force that out and enjoy the goodness!

Possibly by this weekend I could be driving my gorgeous new car to see my new hottie man! Mon dieu!
