The text conversation

For those of you interested here is the text conversation in detail that occurred last Firday/early Saturday morning....drop me a line if you have any questions. B. is you know who....

B.(5/6 2:25am)--On my mind.
Me (5/6 2:30am)--...always a good thing. (winking smiley face)
B. (5/6 2:40am)--I've been a real prick...sorry.
Me (5/6 2:42am)--I would appreciate actually hearing you say the words.
B. (5/6 2:40am)--No mercy..huh?
Me (5/6 2:47am)--Mercy...let me think for a moment...if the situation was reversed how would you feel?
B. (5/6 2:45am)--U r killing me!
Me (5/6 2:49am)--I really do want to know.
B. (5/6 2:47am)--know what...that i'm a jack ass?
Me (5/6 2:52am)--if the situation was reversed how u would feel? But your previous statement is a good beginning.
B. (5/6 2:50am)--Playing me like a cat toy!
Me (5/6 2:55am)--You haven't seen anything yet. And I happen to like cats! I believe i'm deserving of some serious making up time by a certain party in this conversation.
Me (5/6 2:56am)--I guess a very important question is simply "why?" it is one that requires a truthful answer.
B. (5/6 2:54am)--I'm scared!
Me (5/6 2:58am)--Of what? Of whom?
B. (5/6 2:56am)--commitment
Me (5/6 3:02am)--You need to call me. This shouldn't be ahndled by text messaging as something might be misinterpreted by one of us thereby causing greater issues.
Me (5/6 3:09am)--I take it you are more comfortable with communicating through text messaging.
Me (5/6 3:10am)--Reply/response required at this point!
B. (5/6 3:06am)--Dali & Nelly started askin about u! it was between us..right?
B. (5/6 3:07am)--Read the last message?
B. (5/6 3:11am)--Reply/response required at this point!
Me (5/6 3:15am)--I never mentioned you to Dali once and the last Nelly knew was that we were talking but nothing else..
Me (5/6 3:15am)--Patience grasshopper...Give me a min to type...
Me (5/6 3:16am)--We had this conv. once before and I told u then and I will restate...what happens between us stays between us.
B. (5/6 3:13am)--Dali asked me to tell u something when I spoke to u again.
Me (5/6 3:17am)--and that would be...
B. (5/6 3:14am)--Thats what I thought!
Me (5/6 3:19am)--Dali and I spent an afternoon together last time I was in Dallas an dthat was almost two months ago...but u were not the topic of the conversations...
Me (5/6 3:19am)--So what did she want u to tell me??
B. (5/6 3:16am)--I felt a lil betrayed.
Me (5/6 3:21am)--Sorry if that deflates your ego...
Me (5/6 3:22am)--Are you ashamed of the fact that we were talking?
Me (5/6 3:24am)--A lil betrayed and rather than asking me what was going on...you did what you did??? Are you serious?
B. (5/6 3:18am)--does it really matter
Me (5/6 3:26am)--You can bet your last dollar it matters. Simple question...simple answer...honesty either way is required.
B. (5/6 3:19am)--My ego? what do u mean?
B. (5/6 3:21am)--No-but it was between u & me..no on else! I made that clear.
Me (5/6 3:29am)--Ego--that u were not the topic of conversation--just in case u thought u were the only thing Dali and I would have to talk about.
Me (5/6 3:31am)--I fully recognize that you had drawn that line in the sand..we talked about it at length during a phone conversation.
B. (5/6 3:28am)--when two people bring it up in conversation when they never had. not a coincidence.
Me (5/6 3:32am)--So once again instead of asking me you jumped to conclusions.
Me (5/6 3:34am)--Well let me see..nelli told me she called and left a message re her upcoming wedding..and I'm gonna be there for the wedding..think it might be connected?
B. (5/6 3:31am)--I made an educated assumption just like your e-mail!
Me (5/6 3:35am)--And I did call and give you advance warning...if you recall.
Me (5/6 3:35am)--and I have no idea about Dali. What did she say about me?
B. (5/6 3:33am)--When u talk to Janette...
Me (5/6 3:37am)--And when...cause you can count on one hand the number of times that I've talked to her aside from messages relayed by Nelly.
B. (5/6 3:34am)--I'll call tomorrow.
Me (5/6 3:39am)--with apology in hand?

So thats the long and the short of the conversation. text me with your thoughts concerning it!!

Developments

So here is an interesting scoop. I am about to embark upon every womans dream opportunity to confront someone who has wronged them in a romantic situation. Detail, Details.....

I recently went through the agony of ending a relationship which wasn't going anywhere and wasn't good for me. Actually I think he wanted to break it off but was to much of a coward to do so and then he would drunk text me on a semi-regular basis. Thereby causing my emotions to fluctuate up and down like the proverbial yo-yo. Events came to a head this past weekend when he "drunk" texted me for two hours last Friday night saying all kinds of "I'm sorry", "I was an a**/pr***" etc. All the things I wish he would have said two months ago. But the clincher was his last text said "I'll call you tomorrow". Can you see the writing on the wall....I think its neon orange. Your right, the call never came.

So after a little bit of anxiety over the conversations and being a little ticked off cause he totally wrecked my sleep that night I decided to do a little test. I called him on Tuesday and told him that I was going to be in his neck of the woods on Saturday and if he wanted to get together for a late lunch or dinner to give me a shout. But if not then, hey, so be it. I was coolness personified.

But no, Thursday rolls around and still no text, no return phone call nothing. I'm thinking this guy really is something else to not even have the courtesy to give me a call and say "hey, I'm busy this weekend", or "Hey, its just not gonna happen so whats the point", or "I have to go to some BS top secret training this weekend but maybe next time (ie never)". But I am the adult in this situation so I didn't communicate any of those thoughts to him. I open up my email around 10pm and guess what I find...yup an email that says "What day are you going to be down here? I should be free...just let me know!"

So its off for a little righteous vindication. I'm going to head down to NC tomorrow morning....a nice casual drive. I have a hotel room in Fayetteville (which I'm stuck paying full price for...grrr) and when we get together for dinner, this poor boy isn't going to know what hit him. Cause I want some honest answers and the only way I'm going to get them is face to face. And closure will be achieved by the end of the evening.

So in essence this is every womans dream chance to confront an ex who has wronged them. I will be calm, cool and collected. I will keep my head on straight. I did nothing wrong within the realtionship...the issues present are actually all his. (A novel concept all on its own). I have my own place to stay. Non-sexy pj's packed and comfortable clothes for the drive. What more can anyone ask for.

So wish me luck!

Good Food

Okay everyone has one or two addictions and mine are unfortunately not cheap. I love champagne, good food, excellent wine, good gin, delectable desserts and silk. So concerning those items which I have had the pleasure of enjoying while in Columbus.

Good Food. This evenings culinary pleasure was a deli style roast beef sandwich with brie and a horseradish sauce on toasted ciabatta bread served with a side salad and the best peppercorn ranch dressing since Houston. The sangria was nothing to write home about but the sandwich....Mmmmmm who would have thought of roast beef, brie and horseradish....but it was so delicious!!

So now I'm waiting for Stephen to send my reports back to be with his inevitable revisions....its 10:30 here and I want to call it a night.....

Concerning wine....I would love a glass of an excellent pinot gris....or sauv. blanc. Its prob not a good thing that its monday and I want to drink...but I didn't drink at all---okay just a couple of drinks--over the weekend.


I'm sooooo bored......
