Oh, Happy Day (and It's Valentine's Day)

It's a happy day because I got a full night's sleep last night. Ten p.m. to seven a.m. With a slight interruption at 11 p.m. by the FoilKid announcing she had a bad dream, marching into my room, climbing into my bed, and attaching herself to me, limpet-like, quite firmly. Despite the wriggling, squirming, and kicking, I slept quite well.

We had a nice breakfast. The GaahGirl is saying lots more than "Gaah!" She's so advanced! At fifteen months, she says "No!" quite distinctly. She also says "Hi" with a smile to men. Not women. Just men. They invariably smile back. She has mastered "Bye!" with a royal hand wave. And "Baa! Baa! Baa!" and several other fascinating vocalizations. Needless to say, her reaction to prunes: "No!"

And amazingly, my first Valentine's Day* after becoming newly almost-single, I actually have a date. A lunch date, because I have the girls tonight, and why would I want to go out on a date when I have the girls? Guys are cheap and guys are easy.** You can't leave the house without tripping over one. They can accommodate my custodial schedule, thank you very much.

But Mr. Submissive made lunch reservations at a nice restaurant I have not tried before. Full report later. I should feel a bit guilty, going to lunch just to get material, but really. It's investigative reporting, that's what it is. And any man who appreciates bossy women, well, that's a man pretty much made for me. Or not.

*Really, even more bogus a holiday than Mother's Day. Which is wasted on me, since my birthday and Mother's Day often (well, once every seven years) coincide, which is a really annoying waste, so I just disregard Mother's Day as annoying.

**I know, I'm sounding a bit hard-edged. But truthful. How to pick up a guy is three easy steps. (1) Show some leg. (2) Wear some make up. (3) Say hi. See how easy?

**And you don't really even need 1 and 2.

Too true. How to pick up men. (1) Say hi.

I would like to add the how to pick up women. I tell this to my friends who complain about getting "laid". I always say if all you want is to get laid then there is one easy step to picking up a girl.

1) Lower your standards.

They usually say "no way". To which I say, "then stop thinking about trying to get laid stupid fucker you will never get a girl with your penis hanging out."

I hope that wasn't too crass.

Pretty crass, but what standards are we talking about? Does anyone know guys who have standards? Do tell.

Prom said...

I do (know one with standards).

Well, color me surprised (not really, but . . .).
