Dear Friends,
My sincerest apologies for the delay in blogging! I credit it all to Mac&Cheese. For one he has neglected to send me the final version of his guest blog post and does not feel the unedited version will do the blog justice. Number two he is effectively making up for his blogging procrastination by spending quality time with me which in turn decreases my available time to blog. OMG it's been over a week, almost two for the love! Allow me to get you up to speed...
The last time you heard from me Mac and I were honoring the "pants on" rule all the while becoming more and more smitten. And so it continues. Per my mother's recommendation I will not go into anymore bedroom activities (or pool, kitchen, shower, etc) henceforth. I will merely state for the record that Mac has continued to honor all boundaries set forth (even if I am not) and his skill in kissing was only the tip of a sizable iceberg. Done.
Last Wednesday we met up for a late dinner which was meant to be preceded by a lunch date. Due to unruly clients and a tight schedule Mac had to cancel the lunch. He was sincerely apologetic and brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers to prove it. A close friend had requested to hang at my place for a nearby concert and Mac didn't skip a beat when I asked if she could join us for drinks before dinner. After drinks I not so strategically escorted my friend one block to the concert while Mac snagged a dinner table for us. During our walk my friend confirmed that Mac was cool enough to stick around for a second evaluation. At dinner Mac decided to tell me everything bad about him so that "if I decided in May of 2012 he could take his pants off I would be making an educated decision." It is safe to say his bad parts are equal to if not better than my own. He might have knocked off a few months just for the honesty. Well done sir.
On Friday Mac nonchalantly emailed to say he scored two 5th row seats to Bela Fleck for next Thursday. My response: "Shut Up! That is awesome!" (then immediately looked up Bela Fleck on Pandora to see what he was talking about. Sweet!)
Mac showed up Saturday afternoon for a hike I had suggested to start off our weekend. I failed to mention the hike was meant to be my workout for the day and not the leisurely hike he intended as evidenced by his slip-on Merrill's. An unintentional four point five miles later he regretted his shoe choice and lack of recent hiking experience. But his regret was laced with good humor and followed by a great dinner and early night in...bed. He also sweet talked me into a bit of healing touch on his knee (the fact that he was naked only makes the energy work more effective and this is in no way a sexual innuedo for other activites) and a foot massage. With clothing on we biked our way to my most favorite local eatery for brunch. Mac fell in love with the place and has been talking it up to friends since; scoring himself a few more points once again. With our stomachs full of good carbs we biked to the football game to which his parents had given us great tickets. Our home team won in a fabulous game of sportsmanship! And Mac told me I was prettier than all the cheerleaders combined. (So maybe he didn't say that out loud so much as with his eyes. He has honest eyes). With a post-win pep in our spin step we biked the hills back to my place and took a cool, very quick, dip in the pool. And here is something those of you who know me personally or any woman with a spit of body image issues can appreciate. I threw on my bikini, grabbed a towel, dashed up the stairs and took a speed walking jump into the pool with Mac close behind. I felt like a little girl who could care less about the way she looked and more about the fun she was having with this handsome man of a man. He jumped in after me, we simultaneously bobbed up from the surface saying "it's freezing" and quickly exited the pool laughing (causing everyone around us to feel madly jealous at our cuteness, I am sure of it!).
I bid farewell to Mac Sunday evening as he escorted me to the car of a grandfatherly neighbor who had requested I accompany him to dinner. Despite my previous reluctance to oblige I have turned a new leaf and decided, what's the harm? ($20 to the balance)
Total: $285
Favorite quotes:
"You have zero percent body fat." -Mac (he really said that one out loud, twice! God bless him!)
"Make sure he's not an "Easy Mac"." -Second Mother (My distain for microwaves will ensure I do not mistake him for such)
Love the skin you're in people...even if only for a moment!
Yours truly,
Uptown Girl
PS- It is quite possible I will be shooting a gun and meeting the parents this weekend! For serious!
