The Jig is Up

25 Mar

I promised myself last year after this bit of ugliness that the next time I would post about another boyfriend on my blog again it would be to announce an engagement or pregnancy.

(Mom, take a breath and calm down. I would at least be *living* with him before I got pregnant. LOL. I’m kidding Mom. I don’t even want kids! Ok. Seriously, Mom. Put down the phone and sit down. I would get married first. I’m just playing with you).

But,  The jig us up. I cannot keep anything to myself! So, how’s this…. I just won’t make him a permanent cast member of Miss Celie’s Pants? That way he can disappear quietly when we break up to be replaced by a new occassional player.

Due to his aversion to animal products, we’ll call him the Vegan.  Now, the reason I’m posting this is because between dating the Vegan and work being busy I AM NOT SEWING. And, I’m starting to get irritated by it.

I’m not sure what to do about it either.  At least three nights a week I work late until 8 or 9 at night. I ususally have to work one day on the weekend. Normally, I would sew during the in between. But, I’m either too tired, quite happily spending time with him or cleaning (Yes, I do a minimal amount of cleaning now because he comes to my house and I have pride). And considering for the first time in my adult life I’m seeing someone who actually would spend most of his free time with me, I’m at a loss.

Do, I put him on a two-day a week schedule so I can get other things stuff done? Or do I wait it out because at some point in the future, we won’t be as hot and heavy?  If only it was football season I know I could get my Sunday, Monday and Thursdays back!!

Thoughts people? Seriously? And don’t tell me that I must not really like him if I’d rather be sewing. All that will get you is the side eye. Beacuse that’s what two married friends said to me.
