Mary Poppins to the rescue

While my friends went on their anniversary date...I played Mary Poppins with their 3 lovely girls...I brought DiGiorno pizza and breadsticks and Magnum (better-than-sex) Double Caramel Ice Cream...
My friend is a germophobe and I'm the complete opposite so it was very fun to think about..."What would she think if she saw us sharing (and double dipping) the marinara sauce??? Or that the four of us had our feet in the tub????"...It's all about the simple pleasures in life...We danced like crazy (or at least I did while they watched...telling themselves never to do that)...we ate and talked and read some books, painted on my legs w washable marker (that turned out not to be so washable)...and, as fast as it sounds...they were back!!! Easiest babysitting I've ever done...
After they got back we came to my house to look at the garage, project they are planning on helping me with...And I showed around what changes I had made since I moved in...It makes me so proud. Plus, nothing gets me as excited as home projects ("Hi, I'm Cata. I'm a houseprojectholic)...So...I foresee some remodeling in the soon future (and an excuse to throw away stuff and organize:) )
Yesterday, I went to my Argentinian friend Maria's house and it made me start thinking of how much I hate dating...With friends, you are guaranteed to have a good time no matter where or when or how. A date, not so much...What are the chances of it??? I know you have to take chances or you'll never actually meet people you actually have fun with (blah, blah, blah), but... I only get a few days off a week, and I rather get together w friends than staring at someone I don't know and being pressured into talking about anything...Plus, I like to say what I think at the moment I think it (big problem) and with dates you can't do that...with friends you can... There's always rejection in dating too...and I wouldn't be so worried if a guy rejected me...It's the rejecting them that worries me...I would hate not being honest, but I really don't like crushing someones expectations after they had fun...But I won't force it or keep wasting time if I already know I'm not interested...I'm way more practical and caring than that... SO...from now on I'll be set up...If you think about it, your chances of "matching" personalities and have more fun increase if the people setting you up know you and the person they are setting you up with...Thus, I might not be going out much in the future...
OK blog friends...those are my final thoughts of the day...
