Day 256: The Starbucks Dilemma

Ahhhh.... the alarm goes off, and I realize I can get a few extra minutes of shuteye because I don't have to wash the hair, or shave the legs.... it's a beautiful day.

Somehow I even manage to have the time to make some coffee before I head off to work, the stars seemed to be aligned.

But I still managed to be late... again... to work. As I drove past my new Starbucks, happy that I don't have to stop today and make myself even later, I start to think about my history with the joint.

I have met a few guys that I've gone on dates with at Starbucks, most recently... well.. Starbucks, which is the reason I had to find a different one to go to on my way into work.

Mission accomplished. The last few times I've been in there, I find myself checking out the hotties (when they are there), and today I started to think maybe that's not a good ideas.

Sure it seems like an ok place to find a nice man (even though my past history has been bad)... but what happens if I go out with another guy and it doesn't work out?

I'm running out of coffee shops on my way into work. I would have to alter my commute and there aren't very many ways for me to alter.

I guess I'll cross that bridge when... and if... I come to it.

I would hate to throw away a chance at Prince Charming, and love just because I'm afraid of finding another coffee shop.

So I cruise on down the road and make it to work, where Sunshine is waiting for me.

As I sit down I reach into my purse to search for the granola bar I threw in as I was running out the door, but instead I pulled out an iced sugar cookie!

What a surprise! I bought it yesterday at lunch, and forgot it was there! My immediate thought was 'whoo hooo!! It's like a magic purse!' I reach in looking for a granola bar and out comes a cookie.. what could be better than that?!

After work I called the host of my show just to chat and catch up. She asked 'so what 18 year old are you dating now?' I laughed and said 'Hey, I'm Cinderella and I am waiting for Prince Charming, he's coming in about 40 days.'

She laughed with me. I make light of it with her, because she doesn't believe in those kinds of things. I have to say I'm not putting all my faith in it, but I do think it is possible that someone could know.

It's definitely an agree to disagree part of our relationship. I hadn't really realized how much of a dry spell I had hit until she said that, meanwhile I've had this urge to send an IM to the guy I like to call the 'Kindergartner'.

He's the 26 year old I dated about 8 months ago. He's a major football fan, and everytime I hear a story about football I want to send him a message.

But... I've held strong, because there's not much that can go right with that situation.. well... mostly.

We had a very strong connection, or at least I thought we did, and I think it stems from our astrological signs. I'm a Taurus and he's a Scorpio, both fixed signs, both loyal... very steamy.

At one point during one of our first dates I felt drunk, and I hadn't had anything to drink.

It was a very strange feeling for me, since I'm always in control, but one I'm certainly looking for again, at least in some respect.

I guess it could also be a part of getting older, I could just be too tired to try to be in control all the time.

The true test will be Prince Charming... bring him on!
