Well it’s essentially here. What we do casually dub “the most wonderful time of the year.” When in reality the ticking time bomb of anxiety could explode any second. Awkward family drama, the random tantrums from a relative of your choosing, the judgment, the stress of cooking/cleaning/keeping everyone happy. You know, when you’re a people pleaser such as myself, the holidays can be more than stressful.

Heading into the Thanksgiving weekend (I do still have to work tomorrow) I am really hoping to find that person that gets me excited for the next message, the right amount of spice and nice, the lip bites, the audible laughs, etc. Someone who can’t wait to escape the kitchen on Thursday just to check in and say hi. I’m sure you’re looking for that too- I’m sure we all are here, who am I kidding?

No need to go into too much detail about my home life because I’m probably here for similar reasons you are. I like attention, I have attention to give, I have free time during my days to send pics/voice/gifs etc and I crave the flirty, fiery, sexy blah blah blah that’s missing at home. Sounds familiar right?

I have a daughter, work a manual labor job and get up early and go to bed early. This means there might be a drop off in late night texts and voice notes but I’ll never disappear for more than a short chunk of time. I want more than a 9-5 thing and I’m up super early to send that good morning text everyday- so if you can respect my dad hours on nights and weekends we should have no issues! Obviously your schedule needs to be respected too and I will do that.

I like to move to telegram when there’s a vibe. And if you’re like me, the vibe is usually either felt within the first 15 mins or it just never catches on. It seems to be the nature of the beast here. Brutal honesty is also needed in this whole adventure.

So I’m guessing you want to know what I look like and what I’m into… here goes. I’m 6 foot, and so happy I hit that mark, 220lbs with short auburn hair, blue eyes, freckles and a trimmed beard. Yeah I’m on the “day walker” side of that whole ginger thing. I played college baseball for two years, now just dabble in adult softball. I love trivia and watch Jeopardy almost every night of the year. I use cooking and cleaning as therapy. I watch way too much shitty reality like Love is Blind, married at first sight, 90day etc all because I can shut my brain off and judge others from my couch. It’s pretty great, isn’t it? I don’t make time to read as much as I should but I’ve been known to dominate a crossword and/or sudoku on the regular . Sarcasm and swearing are second languages to me- I can hang with the best of em. I promise.

Now that you know a little about me I’ll say I’m not picky about looks but I’ve always been a sucker for the not-so-shy types that come with energy. I tend to give bonus points to the moms out there near/in the eastern time zone because it’s just easier to relate to one another and all that comes with having little demon(s) in the house- yes that includes spouses for some of you.

Anyhow. The in-laws get here tomorrow evening, I’m in charge of the cooking and keeping my father in law somewhat sober and distracted with football so he doesn’t go on a political rant. Sounds stereotypical and it is. That’s how Thursday will go for me, I think we should be a little selfish before the holidays and carve out a little pocket of space for you and me, don’t you agree? I’ll be eagerly anticipating your message!
