All about the single life in Seattle

Holy fuck!  It is after midnight and I have a FULL schedule tomorrow but I have to capture today while it is still fresh because it is such a situation!!

First…I woke up at 5am.  Five in the GD morning.  Remember I was a “handful” (c*nt) to TNS after I demanded she let me drive home drunk (eww, eww, ewwwww but I must KIR with you).  So I went to bed just KNOWING I had to have my ass up and moving and back in Kirkland to apologize and make things right.  I set the alarm for seven but my internal clock had other plans.  I sent a few text messages around 6am.  I had a hard time getting back to sleep until just about 7am; when I really should have been getting up.  Isn’t that how it always happens??

The phone woke me up at 9:40am.  It was the Mr. checking in.  We talked for about 15 minutes.  SH*T!!  I knew TNS was getting her hair done at 10.  If I had my stuff together I would have been there…with a coffee and flowers.  Seriously.  Good friends are hard to come by.  Ok, ok, ok….can’t change the past so just get your ass to Kirkland.  I throw on some clothes, brush my teeth, and throw on some sunglasses (yep, it’s raining out) and  ‘race’ over there (I had no idea I would be going about 15 mph in AM traffic heading out of the city..WHA??) and made it just as they were styling her hair and finishing.  I sincerely apologize.  SIN CER ELY.  She gets it.  That’s what friends are all about.  I offer to buy her breakfast and we head over to Hector’s. 

We check in with LBC…this is basically her backyard, but she is pretty booked for the day.  She does pop over for a quick minute and (how crazy is this??) she has a meeting already scheduled at the coffee shop across the street.  It’s funny to me that I left Sacramento because after 19 years the walls were closing in and I realized it was a SMMAAALLL town…well I’m quickly realizing it’s no different here in Seattle.  Interesting!

TNS and I finish up at Hector’s and agree to pop over to the coffee shop before we leave.  It’s not our first day and something about her meeting smells like a potential multi level marketing situation and we’ve got to help a friend out and get her out of there if needed.  Well we are waiting at the light and this petite little blonde is on her cell chatting about her new jeans yadda yadda and TNS says that yes, they are very hot!!  Both of these bitches are skinny so they can absolutely pull of that SKIN TIGHT jean thing.  So this girl immediately gets off the call to talk to us about these jeans.  She’s a spaz from the get go.  I like her; a real rattle ass.  I bet her brain is just flying a mile a minute.  She tells us she just got back from Maui…bet you can’t guess her nickname….  

Maui used to be a flight attendant.  Her tight little ass “married well” and now she’s divorced and just busy being fabulous.  She lives part time in Maui and gets some extra ’spending money’ to help pay her property tax by renting out some of her homes…including one in Maui.  We discuss renting her place for a girls get away and exchange phone numbers on the street corner….all because we loved her jeans.  Isn’t that funny how you meet people sometimes?

TNS and I run some errands together.  We go to the beauty supply.  In another life I went to beauty school and I keep my license up just so I can shop wholesale.  We meet another lady at the store and have a lengthy conversation with her and exchange business cards. 

TNS says she MUST get some work done.  I MUST shower, blog, and WORK OUT.  I feel like even my independent cat is getting pissed that I’m never home anymore.  We part ways and I head to Safeway because I have no food!!!  I’m shopping and LBC calls.  We’re catching up on the day when TNS calls.  The first time I let it go to vm but then TNS calls AGAIN.  Ok the code with BFF and I is that two calls in a row means F*CKING ANSWER, THERE IS A SITUATION….so I click over and do a conference call.

“Drop everything, turn around, and get back to Kirkland” TNS says.  She just spoke to Maui and she is headed over to a friends house…a male friend who is a millionaire with a big boat and he wants to take us out.  Oh btw, the sun finally came out today!!  OMG, I haven’t even showered and we’re going to a single daddy’s house to go out on his boat?!!!  I love it and I hate it.  I literally leave my cart in the middle of the isle in Safeway.  I’m not a total asshole…I put the milk back in the fridge

LBC, TNS, Maui, and I all meet up at Daddy’s house.  VERY FREAKIN NICE HOUSE!!  Holy holy (as the Mr and I like to say!! LOL).  He’s a good looking guy.  He’s got a lot going for him and he’s clearly used to stripper types.  At 37 (and this guy is 62!!!) I’m just a little ‘too old for him’.  WOW!!!  

Maui has 2 of her girlfriends show up.  One gal has known her for over 30 years!!!  They were flight attendants together back in the 70s.  I love their stories.  They openly talk about bangin the pilots and basically everyone else.  Crazy times.  I love these gals.  As I get more of Maui’s story, I find out she’s just had her heart ripped out.  HARD.  She’s struggling.

We have a great time on the boat.  I truly feel like I made 3 new friends today.  We come back to Daddy’s house and decide to go back to The Beach House for HH.  We hang there for a bit and then back to Daddy’s.  Maui and I decide to get naked (it is still daylight out!!!!) and go in the hot tub.  Daddy has it so hot we then have to go jump in Lake Washington for some balance.  How crazy.  We are streaking and skinny dipping….with a gal I just met 8 hours earlier on the street. 

Isn’t life nuts sometimes???  I’m so glad I got my ass out of bed to apologize to TNS. 

So if I could give you some advice…………..gtet out of the house…make a move….do something different…you NEVER know where it is going to lead you
