Wake up sleepyhead. Why'd we move that bojangle clock so far away from the bed? Just one more minute, that's why we moved it, one more hug or two. Do you love waking up next to me as much as I love waking up with you? Skip-a-dee-doo-dah, thank you Lord, for making him for me, and thank you for making life turn out the way I always thought it could be. There was a time when I could not imagine how it would feel to say I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA...
All right, so I'm not saying he's right for me quite yet, but I absolutely had THE BEST time with Double D last night. We laughed, we talked, we ate, we had a few drinks, and we laughed. He's funny, smart, not at all like anyone I've ever met, in the best possible way.
I knew it was going really well when at just past midnight my phone rang, and since it was my mom's number and she had the kids, I had to answer it. He was immediately concerned about them, but they just wanted to wish me a happy New Year. The fact that he expressed his concern for them, and the fact that I felt sorry that there might be a problem and I'd have to leave told me I was having a wonderful time. They were fine, but he could sort of hear their side of the conversation, and he laughed when the Princess said "Happy New Year, Mama, I love you." He said it was sweet, she was sweet, and asked me about Droid, whom he hasn't met.
We talked about all of the basics, where we grew up, who we knew in common (obviously work people, but a few others), interests, music, future plans, all that jazz, and there are still no red flags. At one point I mentioned how on some of the little things we were completely opposite (for instance, he's very neat and organized, and I'm well, not- he eats very healthfully and I think a Snickers is a balanced meal) and he pointed out that in some cases, opposites attract. He also pointed out that in the major things (some of them were children, family values, spending habits) we were very similar.
We laughed, and the thing I liked best about him was his openness. He answered every question I asked, and asked me questions that made me feel like he was interested and listening to what I had to say.
He also told me at one point that he'd been thinking about me for months, and he said "This is crazy, since I know you can't think of someone in terms of love that you don't really know, but it's almost as if that's the way I've been thinking about you." I didn't really have a reply for that (mostly because I've been thinking about him too, but wouldn't call it anything more than a crush until that point), but his honesty and openness really struck me there. He's not a guy to play games, or say what he doesn't mean.
So, when we parted ways, he kissed me lightly, said he'd call, and with him, I know he will. I love that I had a wonderful time, rang in the new year with him, and don't feel the need to overthink this. It's good, I feel great, and had a wonderful time. I really might be the happiest girl in the whole USA today.
Moody- so happy
