Weekend pleasures, disasters and everything in between

Hey readers! I hope you've all enjoyed your weekend! I've had an interesting one ... started out fun and ended up perplexed.

Friday night, I met up with one of my good friends at Shokudo for some drinks, hot-pot rice dishes and some strawberry honey toast! We got to catch up on work stuff and life in general, and then went to catch some live jazz at Jazz Minds. I had an ulterior motive ... I met one of the sax players online and thought it would be fun to see him play. He was more than accommodating ... putting us on the guest list so we didn't have to pay cover and buying me drinks. After his gig, he and I went out for a late night snack and talked.


It was a fun night and I got in pretty late. But, family day on Saturday was just as fun. M took B and I to Moke's for breakfast and then a shopping trip up to Toys R Us. B got her blue dolly stroller she had been wanting since Christmas and she also picked out her birthday gift ... a pink kid-sized Escalade. Oh boy ...We also got carried away playing with "angry bird" dolls ... beaming them at each other until B got hit in the face and had a small fit. She's fine, by the way.


Besides spending a nice Sunday sleeping in with B, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Sumo's where a husband and wife team of servers we know brought their son who is the same age as B to the restaurant. They got to play a little and he even shared some of his strawberry icee drink with her (separate cup, of course). Later in the evening, I met up with a new guy for some dinner at my favorite pho place. We talked and ate and had a really nice time. And, then, stupid me comes home to log into facebook to see if there was any answer from motorcycle guy. There was none, but since we were on at the same time, a little chat window pops up and there he is. 


At the moment, I am frozen in my spot on the couch. Not sure what to do or say because motorcycle guy has just told me that we aren't going to work out. Of course, I knew this was a possibility since he's been gone for almost 3 months. But, when it actually happens, you can never expect the way you're going to feel. Hurt. Crushed. Sad. I suppose it's my own fault for letting my feelings for the guy escalate, but I had hopes. How stupid was I? Very, apparently.  Not to say that the little go of it we had wasn't fun, but he doesn't plan on staying in Hawaii when he returns from duty. Ouch. But, seriously, what was I to expect? He's a free spirit and needs more space than a little island to roam. I get it. But, it still sucks. And, it hurts. Hopes dashed again. Are there any good guys left? I really don't know ... xoxo
