Lights, Camera, Action

Producer/Actor Guy

     I was determined to get a window seat on the plane, and there were a few available. So, I asked the stewardess if there was anyone assigned to the empty row I spotted. To my avail, there was not! Hooray! Unfortunately, a mother and her two young boys stroll down the aisle looking for seats, together. 😒 So, of course, I give them the seats! Not only because the kiddies were adorable, but because there's no way I couldn't give up the seats without it being on my conscious! So, I move up a seat, and ask the gentleman seated on the aisle (seat) if he would mind if I shared the row with him. He almost instantly arose for me! Yay, I have a window seat, and I'm not stuck in the back! Ugh, I hate the rear seats! At any rate, my plan for sleeping fell through. We began chatting, and the conversation lasted the whole two hours of the flight! We discussed films, educations, careers, and more.

     Phew, the time really passed quickly! As we began to descend, he asks if I would like to exchange contact information. Sure, no harm in that, right?! "What's your name?" I ask as I grab my phone. He doesn't say anything, and proceeds to search for what turns out to be his plane ticket. As I looked down at his name, (because he dared not to speak it out loud), I did NOT see anything that stuck out. So, I copied the info into my phone. We exchanged numbers, wished one another well, and went our separate ways.

    As I waited for my connecting flight, I did a little research on the films we discussed! So, this guy is a producer, and actor! That much I knew already from our chat, but did not expect to find what I did. So, I failed to realize WHO he was until I told my mom about him. She suggested that he is kin to a very prominent actor. So, I look it up, and sure enough, he is! Omg, did I really just meet this guy, and not connect the dots to who he might be?! Yep, I'll admit it! I'm just a bit ditsy at times!

     I'm way to nervous to ask him about it. I mean, I do not want him to think in talking to him because of who he is. Though, how could he when I didn't even know who he was when we exchanged contact info?! So, I say nothing. About two weeks later we phone chat, and yet I say nothing. Fast forward to today, I send him a text wishing him happy holidays. He calls me, and I miss the call. However, of course, I return it! We discuss his upcoming films, and what he's working on now. We also discuss my plans, career moves, etc.. (Btw, I have an interview I tomorrow! Wish me luck!) So, I have to ask him about who he is because I feel I'm being deceitful. (I'm not sure why, I just felt I was hiding something.) He confirms, and we move on! I should have asked earlier! I feel much more relieved now! Lol. I'm going to keep in touch, but not too much! He's married!


**Be back in twenty thirteen!!!**

Chitown Benefits

     Omg! I had a wonderful time this weekend! I met up with NOLA in Chicago this past Friday evening. I didn't want dinner. So, he grabbed something before we met up. We went to see a movie, the one with Brad Pitt. (I don't remember the name.) Lol. I wanted to see Flight, but he was like, "Nah." Hehe.

     Saturday, we went sightseeing for the most part. We ended up at a flea market. I'm thinkin I hope he isn't trying to take me shopping here! Well, the churro was oh so delicious, but I'm not looking for any other goods at a flea market. Not with my SD, that is. Lol. So, he asks around for another flea market, and we head over to it. Well, by this point I know for sure he must be looking for something in particular. So, I ask him, and he says he's looking for an old friend.

     So, we get to the 2nd flea market, and sure enough the first person we ask knows the guy he's looking for! So, I let him talk and catch, while I explore the FLEE (because I wanted to flee to a real mall!) market.

     Afterwards, we headed back to the hotel to freshen up. Then, we headed out to go shopping! Contrary to what I've just written above I really don't want to go shopping. I'd just ordered boots, and was planning to save anything I'll be getting from SDs for the rest if the year. However, he gave me money. So, I headed to the boot section(lol) while he search for a shirt.

     I didn't find anything, and that was ok with me. I pocketed the money, he made his purchase, and we headed out. On the way back, I stopped at the best spa an nail ever, Belle, while he headed back to the hotel. (We had passed this place on the way to do some shopping, and he asked if I wanted to get my nails done.) Of course, I do! I almost expect him to do this for me every time! Hehe. He always asks. At any rate, we later went to a benefit concert featuring Musiq Soulchild!

    Honestly, we initially searched for tickets for the Miguel concert, but it was sold out! Lol. So, he lucked up, and found the benefit concert. Now, when he purchased them, he didn't know that it was a benefit concert, but it turned out really well. The Calhoun family of Chicago puts on an annual benefit concert to raise money for college scholarships for the youth. (I was surprised to see Darlene from Fox News co-hosting!) So, it was a good time for a good cause!

***Well, that's my news for the time being! He wants to go somewhere warm next time. So, hopefully he sticks to that idea when booking flights! Lol.


P.S. I just left Jamba Juice, and the server made too much for my 16oz. So, I was upgraded to a 20oz for free! :) Also, I have a second date Thursday with a POT! Wish me luck!

Black Friday Delight!

Next week?!

     This week, I was supposed to have two second dates with POTs! One never responded when I called to verify the location, and time. However, he did call on Turkey Day, and failed to mention our missed date. The other rescheduled for next week. I understand this because he's a regional manager of one the biggest "Black Friday" retail stores. So, I'm set to meet with him next Thurs..

     I'm thinking I should forget about the first guy. I mean, I feel if he was truely interested, he'd make more of an effort. The thing is he's a younger sd, and really hot! I was really counting on the laptop as well! Lol. I guess I'm going to have to make that purchase on my own. :/

A Few Hundred
 
   Ok, sooo, I'm totally adoring NOLA! Kind of. Lol. He sent me over a few hundred dollars to do Black Friday shopping! I would have totally liked to have seen more money when I picked up my money gram. Lol. However, I'm trying to be grateful. Especially, since the Black Friday cash was unexpected! I haven't really spent the money yet, but I'm thinking I'll take half and buy Christmas gifts. The outlet mall has a really nice sale going on this weekend!

    The downfall, we're not going to Miami. :/ I don't think he could find "deals" for flights. (Dude, you're an SD!!! You shouldn't need deals to make something happen!) So, he's coming to Chicago next week, and I'll join him. I'm excited for what we'll do! He'll be here for almost a week! :)

***Well, I'll update in about a week! Take care!

He Is Not About The Life!!!!

     Ok, beautiful people! I know I said I'd be posting after Turkey Day, buuuuut this "sd" is up in alert! His name ryhmes with Bewaine, and I met him on AM. So, this was our second date, and he promised he'd help me out with bills, along with taking me shopping. Btw, we met in a city away from both of our towns. (So, everything was set up to sleep over in a hotel.) So, we pretty much just go window shopping. (I so meet the loser SDs. Blah) His reasoning was that he didn't want to spend much since I needed money for bills, etc..
   
     This was the first sign he wasn't a legit sd! BEWARE of the signs! So, we have dinner, and head back to the hotel. He want to play, and so do I. However, I had a funny feeling about him. Rather that was stds or whatever. So, I just let him play with my noobs, and take a few faceless pics. I note that I'm  cold, he gets into the other bed, and I fall asleep.

     The next morning, we do breakfast(which was complimentary at the hotel, btw) and discuss how we thought our time together was, and what'd it'd be like next time. At the end, what do I get?! $70 and a gas gift card he'd already used once! To add to the madness, I had to squeeze the last $20 out of him! Then, he asked for $10 back! Wth?! Worst sd ever! He did said he's a new sd, but that's not an excuse! Especially, after I specifically told you what I'm looking for.

     Needless to say, I will not be meeting him again! He had the audacity to ask if I'd want to meet up again, while promising he'd do more. Uh, of course..... Not!!!! I'm so disappointed, but I'm glad I can move on from him! Besides, he wasn't at all attractive!

***sidenote: I did meet up with the guy Friday, and he had $200 bucks for me to fix my car! I didn't take it because I really like him, and want him to know I'm not just in it for money. Plus, I told him it was to pay friends back for fixing my car. I do need my car fixed, but I hadn't done it yet. We're going out again tomorrow. I'm thinking we'd go rock climbing! Woo hoo! Lol. Btw, this is the guy who said he'd buy me a laptop since my screen cracked on my old one months ago! We'll see if he has that for me tomorrow! ;)

Be in touch after Turkey Day, serious this time!

New SDs and NOLA!!!

      Ok, so, I've officially found two more SDs. This brings my total to three, and I'm ok with that until any of them, or I, decides split. Lol. I've only been out once each with the new SDs, but I'll be going away this weekend with one of them. Btw, he ever so kindly paid my cell phone bill (I have a family plan ;)) Also, we will be going shopping, and hopefully he'll be giving me some cash as well. We'll see because he seems like the type to just pay the bill for me without giving me cash in hand. :(

       As far as the other new SD, we'll be meeting up again next week for dinner. I'm not sure what else we'll do, but I'm going to suggest a early dinner so that we can get some shopping or something in. Lol.

       NOLA has been so good to me!!! He sent me a few hundreds to get my hair done! (I wear extensions. Lol.) He is also currently planning our trip to Miami for the week after Turkey Day! I'm so excited! The only thing about him is that I still haven't gotten my Fall package! He said he just hasn't gotten around to it, which is understandable because of the things he has going on. However, it's been almost a month!!! I'm starting to think he didn't even place the order! :( We'll see, he's never fell through on any promises. So, I'm keeping hope that he'll be sending it soon. :)

     Well, I will most likely update after TDay! Hope all is well lovelies!

NYC and New Pots

NYC

      Soooo, my NOLA seemed to be avoiding me about a week after our trip to Houston. I couldn't believe it! I had gotten intimate with him, and thought we both had a good time! Well, after a few days, he calls explaining that he hasn't been feeling to well. So, he got some tests done. I guess it was just a mild cold or something because the tests came out ok. Well, that what I was told. Lol.

      I noticed he's been online, and that's fine. However, let me know what you're trying to do.  I'm assuming he's looking for a new sb because he wants someone slimmer, and fit. I hope this Ian the case. Especially, since I'm really counting on the trip to Paris! :)

      Of course we all know about Hurricane Sandy, and because of that,
the NYC trip is cancelled for now. :( Any suggestions in regards to where we should go?!

***He said my package hasn't been sent because of everything going on. Hmmm. Supposedly, he'll ship it out by the end if the week.


New Pots

     Well, I have two dates this weekend! So far, I have one Friday(Not sure where yet), and one Saturday(Sushi dinner)! I decided I need to aggressively search for new SDs. One reason being the agreement with my current one isn't monetary. Secondly, I need an sd closer to home who's a bit less flaky than my current one. So, yea, I'm on the hunt. Currently, I'm talking to about 6 or 7 Pots. I will only be going past the first date with two of them. I'll keep re others in reserve. Hehe.

    Until next week! 😉

P.S. I have two big job interviews next week! Wish me luck!

Short Update: Houston and NYC

Houston

     I had an amazing time! Upon my arrival, he had a gift basket of perfume waiting for me. The brand was not my taste, but I didn't Say anything. Besides, it did smell good. The first day we had breakfast, went around to inquire about jobs, shopping, and later dinner. My favorite is shopping! He bought Armani sunglasses, career clothing, make-up, and workout shoes and sports bras. The next day, we had breakfast, and I went to an interview. (I'm hoping it went well!) Then, we saw a movie, had dinner, and headed to a Houston Rockets' pregame. We had pretty good seats, I could've sworn one of the Memphis players was checking me out the entire game! Maybe, it was just me. (Hmmm?!)

New York City!!!

     It's set! We'll going there next! I can hardly wait. However, I'm going to have to talk to him about finances because I want a bit more than what he's been giving me to shop with. I don't think I will be satisfied with a few hundred in NYC. I never been, but I assume it's pricey. Also, we've been going to nice restaurants, but I want to dine celeb-esque when we visit NYC! Well, until next time!

***He's mailing me some clothing and shoes!

Ride Em Cow..... girl!

        Soooo, tomorrow I am off to Houston! This trip was supposed to be to NYC. However, I think my sd is waiting on me to make a "move." Lol, I'm pretty sure he was ready the last time I visited him in NOLA. Since then, he's been almost directly hinting he wants in my undies! Lol. Idk what I'm going to do! I'm not really sure if I want to go there with him yet. However, I feel as, if I don't he will drop me, and find another. Argh! SB dilemmas!

        At any rate, while I'm in TX, I will also be job hunting. My SD offered to set me up until I get on my feet, but I'd have to have a job upon arrival. I'm ok with this because I don't want to be totally dependant on anyone. Especially, being that I don't know too many people there. I will only be there for two full days. So, I have I make the most of it. I also want to meet up with some sorors, family, and maybe even sneak in a night of the club life. Lol.

Well, I will update after I return from Houston! Until then, lovelies!

***Also, he asked for my sizes! So, I'm thinking he'll have something cute planned for me! Hmmm! ;)

Flying First Class...

...Up in the sky

      So, I arrived in NOLA yesterday afternoon. I wasn't in first class, but that would've been nice. Right?! Lol. Just as a warning, this post will be a bit short. Lol. I'm in NOLA until Sat., with my best sd! So, I told him about my crappy Android phone, and he got me an iPhone! Ok, so, it's not the iphone5, but I didn't want to push my luck or seem ungrateful. Also, early on, he gave me a few hundred dollars for, "pocket change," right after my flight landed here. I got a mani pedi, workout clothing, and a pair of SHOES! 

     So, my Nike comfort footbed flip flops broke! These aren't inexpensive sandals! I was oh so surprised when this happened in the MALL! Good thing I was in there when it happened. (He dropped me off, and went to handle business with work.)

     All is going well, thus far. I can tell he's thinking about intimacy. It's that time of the month for me. So,  I don't have to worry about an excuse this time. Besides, he's a good looking guy. So, I'll probably be ok when the time comes.

I'll update this post after I return home! Happy weekend!

P.S. Lil Wayne was literally a few blocks(about 25mins) away from where I was getting my nails done! I would've loved to get a pic, at least!
