**If you are looking for MyExBoyfriendProject it is the Right side.** Those who know me know my love for things pop culture and reality tv. I love a good heroine and girl who comes out on top...because I want to. Once a girl named Lauren chose a boy over an intership in Paris. I have made similar misguided mistakes...but Lauren made it to Paris (a year later). I hope to make it to my Paris (both literally and not). Here are my struggles, wants, wishes, hopes and fears as I make it there.
7 classes down Which means my total per class so far I have down to $5.37/class. This Passport to Prana deal is super amazing! Especially for this budgeting gal.
I've been missing in action. I know I've been horrible. I've never been so bad about blogging. Maybe my excuse is that I've been living my life more instead of writing about it. But as the whirlwind of the last couple of weeks is catching up. And I need to come back to this. To writing it down...to trying to figure it out. I'm not sure I can recount everything that has gone on these last couple of weeks. Mr Tenderfoot and I after that weekend spent weekend after weekend together. He came to Toronto and we spent one weekend being so super lazy blowing up an air mattress and watching movies all day. The time spent making meals together. The bliss in standing on my tiptoes to kiss him. The familiarity of a simple touch when you move past someone. The ignoring of the signals of his age/immaturity, the fact that he lives 2.5 hours away, all ignored because of the chemistry, the cuddling and lets be honest Mr Tenderfoot is super smoking hot. I even planned a super special birthday surprise where I made him dinner, took him to Second City (one of my favourite things to do in Toronto...live sketch comedy), and one of my fav breakfast places in the city in the morning. We spent the rest of the day running around just a whole bunch of nothing. The following weekend I was super busy with a girly spa night (where we may have made a Harlem Shake video), and then a hair appointment and then a friend's birthday. So busy that I noticed the communication totally dying down with Mr Tenderfoot. I was supposed to head to my hometown a day early to spend the night at his place. Only the night before (Wednesday) I pushed and pushed because I felt like something wasn't right. And before I knew it instead of heading to see him after work on Thursday. I found myself heading out to sushi with Val instead. And meeting her in the early morning for a hot yoga class and then some tea. Totally bummed out and I still haven't talked to him since. Even though I'm literally sitting here bored out of my mind at my parent's place. (He lives 8 minutes away)...and he's all I can think about. I don't know how things can change so quickly in the blink of an eye. BUT that tends to be the going trend with me and boys. They "change their mind" and are gone without so much as a dust left in their tracks. Only a more jaded and disappointed me wondering what the heck happened. So many other things have happened like I officially turned down a job offer in the Middle East. I've been spending time with my friend (the Canada Crew), and realizing that some friendships are more temporary (like the Waterloo girls, much to my sadness), and just doing random things (like 5Ks, Brewery tours, pub nights, etc). And yet I still feel just as stuck. I still get green eyed over my friends in relationships. I really really just want to be loved. Which is why I may or may not be talking to Jacob again (I KNOW I KNOW so stupid). Ugh. Seriously.
For Friday I was nervous. I had MrTenderfoot coming up from my hometown. And we had been flirt texting all week (flexting???) I rushed home after work and changed real quick. And then we jumped in a car and headed downtown. We went to Weslodge for dinner. I'd been dying to go there ever since I saw there oversize yellow doors!
Anywho when we first sat down the server asked if we were brother and sister (which could NOT be a good sign...clearly my insecurities of looking way too old for him were correct!) So despite that we had a great dinner and chat. It definitely had a great vibe. I loved the (slightly cheesy) decor.

I loved how the servers were styled. Definitely a fun place to go. And they wear holsters which suited the place.

Before we knew it it was time to head to the concert. So we walked down to the Rogers Centre to watch Swedish House Mafia.
And we grabbed drinks and I pretended not to notice all the young things in BARELY any clothing. Like literally there were girls there in bikinis and Uggs. Suddenly my leggings/tank/blazer combo didn't seem so cool lol. And at some point during this song.
He kissed me. And it was the mix of the pounding bass, and drinks and just good feeling. That I just went with it. And the making out continued at my place until the wee hours of the morning. At least I was the good responsible one and drew the line before things got too out of hand. And the next day rolled into a very hung over brunch out. He came with me to pick up my new glasses (which he claimed to find VERY sexy lol). And before I knew it I had to go meet some of the girls from the CanadaCrew to watch the Ice Carving Contest in Yorkville. But before he left he pulled me in for a ridiculously good kiss. This has no possible way of working out. He is much too young and lives in my hometown. It's too bad because he is super cute ...maybe I can at least hang out with him a few more times? Guess we'll see what happens...
