Then this happened

Jump to Comments

I just ran into Teddy in the hall.  I was walking quickly back to my desk so didn’t stop to chat even though he was like “Oh hey!  How are ya!?” (also walked away quickly because I am afraid of boys and am a loser).  So I get back and think in my head “…eff it.  I have balls.”  So I IMed him.  Dead serious.  I’m sick of just sitting around looking smokin’ hot while there are no plans in his head for dating me!!

Here was the convo:

Beth:  hey!  sorry I was on the run just now… but realized I haven’t seen you around in awhile… how was your weekend??

Teddy:  Good stuff.  How ’bout yours?

Teddy:  when am I going to get to see you dressed as a donut?

Beth:  good!  I was in New Hampshire this weekend and last… it’s my favorite place in the world in the fall.  gorgeous.

Beth: ahhhh yes

Beth:  the donut

Beth:  I have to dig out a picture

Teddy:  New Hampshire is awesome.  Where did you go?

Beth:  my family has a couple lakehouses on a lake there… right by Winnipesaukee (had to google to know how to spell that)

Beth:  and then yesterday we drove to the top of Mt. Washington, which was amazing

Teddy: That sounds awesome.  I took that cog railroad to the top one time and the view was incredible.  Probably a little chilly for swimming in the lake though.  Sounds like good quality family fun time.

Beth:  oh that railroad looked terrifying.  my dad almost driving off the cliff might have been scarier though.

Teddy:  My family is always in constant fear of imminent death when my Dad is behind the wheel.  He’s also the only one who drives.

Beth:  hahaha

Beth:  imminent death

Beth:  this sounds similar to my driving

Beth:  do you have a car in Boston?

Teddy:  I do, but I don’t drive it that much now that I’m taking the train back and forth

Beth:  yeah and I bet you don’t drive that much around Boston… well, probably try not to

Beth: I avoid it at all costs

Teddy:  It is always an interesting experience.  I’m surprised I still have a fender left

Beth:  I want to drive with your Dad around Boston

Beth:  that sounds like an excellent adventure

Teddy:  Bring a change of clothes in case you have an accident

Beth:  haha

Beth:  I’ll just bring my donut suit

Beth:  as a backup

Teddy:  That would be an excellent adventure

Teddy:  Let me know when you get that picture.  I would like to see the pathetic “bag of coffee” as well if you have it

Beth:  yah, that might be a challenge

Beth:  I will try my hardest though

Teddy:  Understood.  I will manage expectations accordingly

Beth:  I know I definitely have the donut picture, but since I always refused to be Bag-O-Coffee… I’m not sure I have that

Beth:  my high school self clearly thought that I was the only thing worth taking a picture of

Teddy:  haha That is both funny and true

Beth:  well, also… this big weirdo guy named Jason who was super religious was always the bag of coffee (because I was a mean donut hogging beyotch that bossed around weird religious boys) and I know I wouldn’t have wanted a keepsake of him

Beth:  but my friend [Mom] might have something stashed away for me… I’ll inquire

Beth:  ”because I was a mean donut hogging beyotch that bossed around weird religious boys” —> this is actually still an accurate description of me today

Teddy:  That is one of the best examples of accurate self-analysis that I have ever witnessed.  Bravo

Beth:  I should put it on my resume

Teddy:  Totally, but definitely under Professional Experience not Personal

Beth:  hahaha!  yes!

Then the conversation died.  I got tied up with something and he never responded… but what are ya gonna do.  I am proud of myself for applying my new excuse for being ridiculous in life: DIFTB (Do it for the blog!).  So there ya have it.  Now I just have to find that donut picture and I’ll have an excuse to stop by his office…

  • I WILL DIG DIG DIG for that Bag-O-Coffee!

  • DIFTB–love it.

    Also, you forgot to mention that ST got a hair cut recently and looks SO good. Mmmm.

  • ST= Sweaty Teddy. That is his official full-name, in case anyone was confused. And yes. His haircut is smokin.

    Mom- get on it. I never thought I would say these words, but I need a picture of Creepy Jason in the Bag-O-Coffee outfit if I ever hope to get a date with this guy.

  • Religious boys eh? What’s the point?

    Plenty of good lookin’ atheists out there. ;)
