Out of the blue, 6′4″ calls me today.  He’s going to be in my neighborhood today and was thinking about stopping by. One part of me says, “FOR WHAT?!?!?”  The other part of me is curious and wonders what he has to say to me.  So I agree to let him stop by – if it works.  I have things to do, he has things to do.  And it didn’t work out, so I didn’t end up seeing him.

But the question is – was he just testing waters or was there something he really wanted to say to me?  Hmm.

I’m training for a Half Marathon, so I’m out and about on the paths near my house.  These paths have a ton of bikers.  Ahem, cyclists.  So during a 5k run, I may see like 30-50 cyclists.  They don’t say much to me, but I’ll get an occasional “on your left!” 

So I’m running yesterday.  (I walk/run combo…but at this time I happened to be running.)  I’m in the zone, as they say, just trying to keep putting one foot in front of the other so I don’t die.  I look up.  Black dude on a bike coming towards me.  Not a normal site – and probably the second one I’ve seen this summer.

So the dude gets closer.  He looks at me and with much enthusiasm says, ‘GOOD JOB!!!!” and gives me a thumbs up. 

Really?  The one black dude I pass says something to me?!?!?  NEVER had a white guy say something.  Hmm.  Must be the booty.

1. If a guy can’t make a move, there is something wrong with him.  He may be gay, but if not, he’s probably a member of the itty bitty committee.
2. Guys are full of shit.
3. I knew my ceiling fan was possessed, but I didn’t know it was possessed for good and not evil.  6′4″ came to pick up his stuff – including his $500 model crane.  My ceiling fan cut that sh*t in half.  Sooooo funny, but not in a ha-ha way.  Karma, baby.  BUH-BYE.
4. If your knee hurts at mile 6.0 of an 8.5 mile run, just give up then and call the ambulance to come pick up because it’s only going to get worse.
5. And running outside when you have allergies only makes you feel worse.  Weird.
6. Writing a business plan takes a lot of research, but it’s really effective in focusing your thoughts.
7. Frozen Snickers taste better than room temperature Snickers.
8. Watching a story about someone’s death on the news doesn’t even compare to hearing the story from someone close to the situation. 

First, my horoscope for August:

The eclipse arriving August 5, will be a lunar eclipse, a full moon, in your house of partnership and marriage. Eclipses stir up our emotions, but they also bring truth to light, often quite suddenly.   If you have been very unhappy in a relationship but not sure what to do, things may get a bit worse now, but enough to show you the path out. If things are beyond repair, this eclipse could mark the end of the relationship. If anyone walks out, it will be the woman in the equation – this is an eclipse of the moon, and moon is female, so she will be the one to “eclipse” out of the alliance.

I decided to go with the stars instead of fighting them and I’m officially single.  All it took was a few words – “This isn’t working.”  And that was that.  He’s supposed to pick up his stuff on Friday, but I might decide not to be home.  Oh well.  Too bad, so sad.

And so tomorrow I am getting together with GI Joe…there have been implied conversations suggesting something might actually happen…we’ll see if he decides to man up and show me what he’s got!
