RLB texted back aprox. 30 mins. ago saying that he will be in the city this weekend and asked +10 what she is doing.
This might end up going somewhere after all!!!
We'll keep you up to date as things progress.
Any suggestions, people?

OMB (oh my Bieber), we are so sorry for not keeping you updated these past few days, please forgive us.

Heard nothing from RLB, not even a text! However, I did know that he was going out with the boys. Still was hoping for a text, maybe a "hey, how's it going?"...but got nothing. Dissapointed. Starting to feel unsure about this.
Was excited the first couple of days but now I'm worried. Is he just a stupid boy, or is he not interested? [is this normal?]

Worked late and got home to find a living room full of people just starting the movie Step Up 3. Acting: brutal; Dancing: unreal. Watching it reminded me of one of my life goals: to walk into a club with a group of people and bust out a choreographed dance routine. That would be "off the chain". [ps. loved the soundtrack].

So I was getting impatient after not hearing anything from RLB so I thought I would take it upon myself with many suggestions from other friends to send him a text. I sent a good morning, how was your night text and got a one liner back. Tried with another questions, same thing... Then, an hour and a half later I received a random one liner and decided not to say anything back. This is not exciting. The last one liner from RLB came about 12:30 p.m. Boo!
In other news, this was the first episode of season...like 100, of SURVIVOR, and my boyfriend Boston Rob is back so excited. As soon as he stepped off the helicopter I couldn't stop smiling. If RLB isn't going to step up, at least I have Boston Rob to keep me happy on a weekly basis.

Hilight: Today we were celeb-named by a co-worker, who joined our names in the Brangelina fashion. If we were sharing our names on this blog we promise you'd be impressed with the combination.

Well, this morning I was really dissapointed that I did not receive any texts from RLB. Really not sure what is going on and hate feeling this way. There should be some excitement right??? I am discussing this with -10 all morning and we decide to leave it for him to make the first move now. I think I have tried hard enough to keep the conversation going by constantly asking questions. If he was interested wouldn't he ask questions??? I was told he was shy but really...
Okay, 2:00 p.m. and I get a ramdom one liner how tomorrow is finally Friday. I wait half an hour (this is advice from a ++10) and then respond with how excited I am and I might even take the afternoon off. NO RESPONSE since. Seriously people what do I do??? Do you think he really is shy? I was expecting more than this! There has not even been anything flirty happen since the night I met him. I think I am losing interest.

Sitting at the arrivals gate at the airport always make me think of Love Actually. Although the real thing isn't quite as touching, and the people aren't nearly as good looking [side note: it's shocking how many people opt to take an escalator over a set of stairs, come on people! A little exercise won't kill you. It's not like they're walking down the escalator either, they're just getting on and standing. Which reminds me of this clip which I saw at Cannes Lions, love it].
Dinner was pizza and wine with friends, it was fantastic.
STARBUCKS FRIDAY (the 18th)
We go to Starbucks every friday before work, it's excellent. Venti nonfat Caramel Macchiato for V, Tall Chai Latte for J. The barristas have started recognizing us and it feels very chic to be a regular somewhere...does once a week count as a regular?
+10, V
Happy Friday!!! Well, it is still early in the day but for the sake of the blog at 9:00 a.m. I sent RLB a text saying Happy Friday and asked what he was doing this weekend... It is now 11:15 p.m. and NOTHING!
PS. PEOPLE WHO ARE MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS... DO NOT MENTION THE BLOG OR MY RLB AS HE IS A FRIEND OF MINE ON FACEBOOK!!!

The Day after V-Day/Piazza De Nardi
First thing's first: obviously.
Today when J picked up V (we carpool) the first question was how the conversation with RLB went. [At this point we should clarify that RLB is distinct from various fake boyfreinds which are featured on television shows (reality or otherwise) and vampire-themed movies. Also note that RLB is, in fact, not an actual boyfriend...yet].
The paperweight hearts and Dollarama stickers still don our walls...we've already been asked how long they'll stay -- oh I'm sorry, is there a rule about how long hearts can be up? No one told us. One year V had her Christmas tree set up until just before valentines, so we're doing pretty well, all things considered.
Since yesterday was so busy we started off the today looking at our regular sites: V hit up
Well, with hardly any sleep after being pretty excited about my first texting and HOUR long conversation with RLB, J picked me up for work and I had to tell her all about it. Did I mention he said Happy Valentines Day twice!!! Once by text and once in real conversation :)
He also said we could get together this week if I wanted, I just had to let him know. Did I mention it has been almost 2 years!!! I am soooo nervous and want to get the ball rolling to see if it goes anywhere but am also scared too because I don't want it to not work out. First question... When is it okay to ask him over for movies and a sleep over? Not a dirty sleep over, I'm not like that!
Second question, Should I text him first today to see how his day is going or do I wait to hear from him? I don't want to seem crazy right away, but I also want to let him know I am thinking about him.
Wow... I feel like a -10 with all these emotions!
Can't wait to see what happens tonight. He did say we would DEFINITELY talk today.

V has been going non-stop about RLB and I don't blame her. The closest that I've come to having my own RLB lately is a stranger that V met who goes only by his last name (one of those) who sent me scattered texts after she met him during a weekend visit to a nearby town.
After insulting my lunch V suggested that we go to Piazza De Nardi, an indoor market close to our office building. We went and V instantly began planning exactly what she'd buy for her first date night with RLB -- she would insist that she'd slaved all day in the kitchen and couldn't reveal the secret family recipie. I would not put this elaborate scheme past her.

- www.theshoppingchannel.com (for the show stopper, today's is an earing and pendant set from "Himalayan Gems" for $79.83 or four easy payments of $19.96, decidedly, funny and not worth our hard-earned cash);
- www.tmz.com (to check on any celebrity deaths); and,
- www.theweathernetwork.com (because we don't have a window and want to know what the weather is like).
- www.groupon.com and www.dealfind.com for deals; and,
- www.perezhilton.com to check up on her celebrity boyfriend, Zac Efron.

Valentine Girls
Who needs chocolate? Not me.
Who needs flowers? Not V.
Candy is for chumps (who wants another trip to the dentist anyway?).
The final count for people who came to ask us singles what to get their wives for Valentines Day was 4, our pink and red wigs obviously showed that we were in the Valentine spirit. It's not hard to get creative when you don't have to prepare for evening plans.

Well, I was not really looking forward to this night seeing as I have now been single for almost two years! I used to get huge bouquets of flowers and nice dinners out. This year, a girlfriend of mine (A) and I went to Moxies on Saturday night for some pasta, enchiladas and wine. Not the same type of night I would have had 10 years ago. Anyway, just so happens I ended up meeting someone who I think was really cute, nice and funny and he ended up texting me and then calling me for the first time that night and even said Happy Valentines Day twice! Not so bad of a night afterall. Now I just have to figure out how to keep this interesting and learn to date. I'm going to seriously need all the help I can get. My -10 friend has been very excited and helpful so far but remember..... There is a decade between us which makes a huge difference :)

Our Valentines Day Playlist went over extremely well, starting off with NKOTB’s "Valentine Girl".

I knew my night was going really well when V called me to say that she’d gotten a text from her real life boyfriend (RLB). After V’s call I read through the Real Simple magazine that had arrived in the mail*, and watched the PVR’d episode of Gossip Girl while straightening my hair. I crawled into bed after facebook stalking my real life crush (RLC).
*Which contained a short article explaining that, it is impossible for facebook users to see who has viewed their profile, all promises of such omniscience are spam.
