Still Sick and Neighbors

I can't seem to shake this cold I have. I was feeling pretty good last Thursday and was looking forward to going out this past weekend, but when Saturday night rolled around I was still coughing and decided to stay in. I had a bunch of friends out in Georgetown, but bailed out and ended up staying in all weekend. I am going to China in a few weeks and want to be over this cold before I leave.

I have a few new developments in my neighborhood.

This summer I was looking at a house a few doors down from mine when the real estate agent asked me if I had met the "flight attendants". I said no, I had no idea what he was talking about. Turns out that the house next door to the one I was looking at (5 doors down from my place) is shared by a bunch of "hot" female flight attendants. The real estate agent was a douche bag of the highest caliber, so I was skeptical what his idea of "hot" was, and dismissed his comment. Also, I spent a month on a ladder redoing the front of my house, if there was a troupe of hot flight attendants living nearby, I was confident I would have spotted them. Turns out I was wrong. I was taking down my Christmas lights on Sunday (I know, they were up way too long, but I have been sick) when two very attractive women walked out of the house the real estate agent told me about. I have no idea if they were flight attendants, they weren't in uniform or anything, but they were good looking. I am going to throw a party this spring when my place is done, I will have to figure out a way to invite them.

In another "neighborhood" twist, I keep seeing a really cute girl parking her car near my house. I walk my dog every night when I get home from work, and this girl must be on a similar schedule, because she is always parking her car when I am walking down that particular street (I swear I am not stalking her, really). She's my type: tall, skinny, brunette, cute face. She drives a Jeep which I generally take as a sign that a woman is low maintenance. I only started seeing her the past month or so. I let the dog sniff around longer than normal when she's parking, in the hopes I can strike up a conversation with her, but we've only managed to exchange smiles. I need to teach my dog some useful tricks, like tackling hot women as they get out of their cars. What good does it do me for her to "give me five" or "play dead", she has to start earning her keep around the house and get me laid once in a while!

Last thing. I have a friend (actually, a friend of a friend) in NYC who I saw when I was up there a few weeks ago. His wife, Em, is really cool, she has partied with my group of friends many times, and is a lot of fun to hang out with. I was talking to one girl at a club and when I walked back to our table Em asked if I was single. I said yes, but was somewhat surprised because she has seen me take girls home from the bars before.

I guess she just thought I was a slime ball...I don't think I am, maybe I am, but I would never be so open about it if I was.

Em said she has a college friend that lives in DC she wants to set me up with. She just sent me the girls name and email address this morning, and said the chick is expecting to hear from me. I don't think I have ever emailed someone I never met before, the phone is a little more traditional, but I'll give it a shot. Em describes her as "cute, and totally non-crazy", not exactly a ringing endorsement, is it?
