The God of my understanding has a wicked sense of humor .. I mean SERIOUSLY wicked I'm pretty sure it's to keep me humble and keep my ADHD energy in check ..

I'm totally telling on myself .. it is sooo worth the laugh ..

First off I'm laughing a lot probably too much .. LOL .. I figure it's all good and the first man to tell me to tone it down is going to wind up wearing whatever I'm drinking which happens to be Pepsi products at the moment.  I have always bought into that line of crap .. you need to tone it down .. who is anyone to tell me that outside of they are uncomfortable with the fact I don't care I guess .. whatever .. no worries just a fleeting thought that crossed my mind. 

I grabbed a stack of paperwork off my desk which isn't hard to do and I'm trying to go through and figure out I need to scan it .. ok fine.  Well .. LOL .. it has a staple on it so I go to remove it and I have a secret trick to this that is far less damaging than a staple remover.  I'm trying my trick .. it's not working .. ok .. WTH is going on?  So I try again and about 45 seconds later .. it could have been 30 min later (in terms of how stupid I felt!!) I realized that the staple was copied onto the paperwork .. there was no trick that was going to remove that outside of white out!!  Needless to say I was laughing hysterically over that one and I was alone in the office although my boss and I shared a good laugh over it because I just couldn't stop laughing at myself. 

My sushi chef, waiter, cop story is actually a continuing saga now and there are a few extra parts to it. 

I went to lunch with a coworker I'm very proud of extra work I've been doing for him.  Nice married man .. and it was fun to get to know him better.  What he needs from me and how I can help him do what he needs to do.  Well we walk into the Japanese place and the same dang waiter comes running up to me .. oh your cop .. he here!!  Look look!  Now .. my co worker .. OMGOSH .. the look on his face is priceless and the look I'm getting from him as he recovers (and he recovered well) I'm looking completely shocked and I'm sure it's a cultural thing too.  He meant no harm however I did think OMGOSH what if this was a sig other or a first date .. I was sooo grateful it was this particular man I was with.  I looked at my co-worker and said .. sigh .. there's a story there .. we'll talk after we are seated and he starts laughing and says .. ohhh if YOU are involved I bet there is .. of course me being me .. well hey all I can say is I was not arrested and there was no drinking involved so I'm all good!  He laughs and says is it like this with you everywhere?  well .. pretty much I've been put on notice I'm not allowed to leave the house alone without a babysitter .. so things get challenging.  He just laughed and said you are sooo in the wrong line of work my friend what can we do to get you into sales?  Sooo that's kind of an interesting story there .. for another time.  You are amazing at how you get people to do what you want and then no one ever forgets you .. there is no question about that.  What a nice left handed compliment of being told I'm very manipulative .. LOL!  No it's not like that .. or I don't see it that way .. it's just we all have a common goal and how do we get there AND make someone feel good about getting there .. kwim??  Of course my cop who Lord only knows what the waiter has been saying to him again is looking confused .. LOL .. my co worker says .. you are a collector of people I don't know anyone who has their own cop .. LOL.  So that has been a running joke now.  The funniest part was he opened his wallet and a ticket fell out, I started laughing and said OMGOSH is that a TICKET!?  Yes, .. I was excited in a good way.  LOL .. he says umm yes .. and why are you all excited.  Me proudly saying I KNOW how you can get out of it!!  LOL!  He's like oh I have to go to court .. me .. ohhhh honey let me help you .. LOL!  I will share my yoda ways of getting out of a ticket or at least getting it lowered!  He looks at me and says .. why does this conversation scare me a little .. LOL!? 

Since I wasn't buying lunch Friday, I took my son out yesterday and we had an absolutely blast.  Same place .. yes I love that place for a multitude of reasons .. I enjoy good eye candy.  See this is what I love and I didn't do this when I was married to the A.  It was so much fun to just sit and talk, obviously they were slow or that's not a conversation we can have, with our sushi chef (this is at the sushi bar, which is honestly where I love to sit, I'm very spoiled there .. LOL).  I also made a sale to that place and I've been babysitting a couple of places and enjoying doing it.  Well, .. our chef was soooo wonderful to my son.  He did magic tricks, and even fixed my son's glasses (turns out he's an optometrist which was sooo interesting to hear about).  Shared so much of his time which he has no idea how much that meant to me and no idea how much it meant to my son.  So of course that going on our bar area became the center of attention (now son didn't appreciate it however I loved it .. sigh .. youth, handsome faces which I know makes me sound shallow .. it was just nice and it was safe).  I got to order off the menu which was fun.  actually my son ordered for me, .. that was an experience .. I was brave and let him order off the menu for me.  Dealing with sushi and chef specials .. that could have gotten interesting .. LOL!  He did a great job!  I explained this is how you order for a lady, you pay attention to what she likes ask her if you can order for her and take the lead or back off.  Now personally I have never allowed men to order for me so he was a good wingman for me .. LOL!  It allowed me to be brave. 

I still haven't been on a first date and I'm ok with that .. LOL .. this is safe and I'm still not sending the right signals out and that's ok.  Honestly I don't know what I want and I don't know how my life is going to change over the next few weeks/ few months there are some major changes and now I'm starting to see that maybe the reason I haven't been able to meet anyone is because it's just not the right time in my life.  I am having the time of my life if that makes any sense at all. 

I do know the two men I've been interested in are not available .. my lunch date is not one of them .. LOL!  So that definitely tells me I have more work to do in that department and that's not to say that the interest wasn't returned .. it is a mutual respect deal especially being the person cheated on with my XAH.  It doesn't feel good and causes so much hurt and destruction on all levels. 

Anyway, so that is the God of my understanding working in my life and reminding me how very human I am.  As I stumble, fall, dust myself off .. look around quickly did anyone see me fall, then laugh. 

I'm so incredibly grateful for the program and its gift of laughter .. I find myself making up for the last 17 years of unadulterated and undiluted fun.  Which is why I just don't think right now there is anyone available that would match what I have going on at the moment.
