I don't think so

I've had a lot of "I don't think so" moments lately.

Let me get the "date" answer out of the way:
Yes, I had a date, it was so long ago, that right now it's almost laughable. I went out with a guy that I've known since I was probably 20. We tried the whole dating thing before, and I'm willing to admit I let my friends at the time influence me into not persuing the relationship further. And today I'm quite ok with that decision. In no way am I saying there's anything wrong with him, we are just 2 completely different people with different priorities, who just happen to have a couple things in common. So for the date I went to his new swanky loft apartment in downtown Dallas and he cooked me dinner and we watched a movie and some Michael Jackson funeral stuff. Yes, the date was THAT long ago! We talked alot about what's been going on in our lives. I was there probably 4 hours. And finally I just said I've got to get home. It was already past my bed time! I had a good time, but realistically, I just don't see us being anything but friends, and that's ok!

ok so let me just explain my little adventure to Adairs this past Saturday. Since Adairs is a favorite among the what 4 readers of this blog, then you'll at least get a laugh out of my embarassment. So Michelle, Deidre, and I are there around midnight and we are sitting at the bar. Cue the band in the background playing one original song to every 5 cover songs. The band just happens to be playing "The Joker." Michelle and I are singing along...."really love your peaches want to shake your tree" to which I do the little shimmy part. Out of nowhere Big Joel comes from the end of the bar towards me and asks if I just shook my and points to what is obviously my boobs. I told him maybe I did. He goes as loud as you all know Big Joel can be, "Dawn, you just shook your boobies?!?! do it again do it again." and then cue his Big Joel laugh. I. am. mortified. I'm 10 shades of red and yelling at him to leave me alone. But, of course he doesn't. He asks me why my face is the same color as my drink (redbull vodka with grenadine, my princess drink as Deidre likes to call it) and I just tell him to shut it and leave me alone. He walks away laughing his Big Joel laugh. About 2 minutes the girl bartender (sorry I can't remember her name) walks towards us and I'm thinking she's coming to see if we need more drinks but no. She asks me why my cheeks are so red. I tell her to tell Joel to leave me alone that he's not funny. She just laughs and I can hear him from the other end of the bar laughing. So, I learned to never shake any part of my body in Adairs. That's an "I don't think so" moment.

Here's another "I don't think so" moment for you, courtesy again of Adairs. So we're standing outside because it's now closing time with Lil Joel and he's talking to us. There's these 2 girls that are waiting for him to follow them to her house or something or another. The one driving jingles her keys over her head and yells rally. He tells them just a minute or whatever. Deidre and I just look at each other like, did she really just do that? Just let me preface this by saying Dawn had her fair share of drinks and you 4 who read this know Dawn when she drinks a little more than she really should, especially when she's saying the room is sorta spinning. Ok, now that Dawn goes, "does that really work to get a guy to follow a girl?" Lil Joel tells me yes, but then goes on to say he's just long time friends with them etc etc etc. I'm thinking that's the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen. THEN he says to me that if I'll just jingle my keys and yell rally he'd follow me. I was like I don't think so, maybe some other time. I mean really? Do I seriously look like someone who would do that?!?!?!? I told V about it and she told me she didn't think that was going to become my go-to move. She's spot on with that one! Ridiculous.
