Hi Danielle,
Just catching up after a busy period for me at work.
Looks like your thread is full of life, cookies and tax returns.
I don't envy your work load coming up, I remember how busy you were last year, but think of your progress since then, it seems its been a really great year for you all round. Im so happy for you.
I could do with a brief update on your suitors though, as this seems to be a baking and alcohol thread recently!!! A good combination for entertaining though...
Luv n Hugz
Katie
@Katie Jade Dear Katie... and all my readers and followers:UPDATE Friday January 25, 2019 6:50 AMThank you for your thoughts and I am happy that you have been checking up on me....
.... You are right, my thread here has always had twists and turns.... it is not always about my romantic endeavors, nor is it always about cookies, baking and cooking...
.... but for sure, tax season is upon me and my little business and I will be a busy girl for several months now, but thankfully there will be days and times that I can concentrate on my other tasks... and certainly I will keep involved in my gym-gals group, book club, some civic activities, the next door coffee shop goings-on, and of course my romantic entanglements.
I know that I have been getting many inquiries regarding my suitors especially from many of my newer readers and followers that have not done a lot of reading of my original
"Hunted Prey" thread
(Link at the bottom of any of my posted pages) ...and most of you are aware that I a not been sharing that part of my life as much as I had in the past. First off, the fast paced romantic activities in the past year have boiled down to just 3 active suitors... but I have lately been approached by a couple more suitor opportunities that I am being careful to not get involved in too fast unless there is obvious chemistry.
I will obviously write more about some of these new tentative newer suitors at a later time.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To recap my past and present suitors... here is a refresher:Male Suitor #1 This guy was my very first real date and romance right about the time that I came-out to my town back last Spring. The relationship turned sour when he got involved with another gal that kept loudly bad-mouthing me a the coffee shop because of my trans-woman status. Initially he was very accepting and I was quite sweet on him and had several wonderful dates... but he caved into his new girlfriend. I dumped him before he dumped me right in the coffee shop among the employees and customers there that were backing my position... he and his girlfriend were strongly and publicly reprimanded and told to shut up by the coffee shop owner. Any romantic or even friendly exchanges are done and over with.
Creepy GymGuy Suitor #2 As his name implies I met him or rather he came on to me when I first started going to the gym last Spring with several of my Gym-Gals friend. He was creepy indeed and would not back off, but there was safety in numbers... my gym-gals group ladies came to my rescue and fending him off.... they are my body guards!!! I recommend to all of my friends that are transitioning that they try to stay with a friend or friends when initially out and about... again, safety in numbers whether it is guys or gals that are visibly and audibly being non-accepting. There is no relationship and won't be.
ShyGuy Suitor #3 As his name implies, he is very shy and slow to act on romantic endeavors... and he is a very nice gentleman. We have been on numerous and enjoyable dinner dates, summer hiking and picnic dates, and he comes into my office frequently with my favorite coffee and treats mostly from the next door coffee shop. He is becoming less shy as time goes on and sometimes he is rather bold and outgoing with his romantic overtures and our relationship continues.
Dental Hygienist Suitor #4 As most of my readers know, she is my favorite and she is so very sweet. For those that are not aware, last Spring I was at my dentist getting my a checkup and getting my teeth cleaned. She was the Hygienist that figured out that I was a trans-woman before I came out to my town. Evidently the shape and size of one's mouth and the size of key teeth like the upper front centrals and the far back molars are a dead give-away. She was initially and now is very accepting. My forums friends and I fondly call her my
ToothFairy. She is a part of my Gym-Gals group of 5 cis-women and myself. We have been on many, many wonderful dates, road trips, hiking adventures and romantic dinners at her home and at my home. She is my favorite but I am hesitant to make her my exclusive romance... and she is OK with that. What the future may hold for us is exciting to ponder.
Barista Suitor #5 She is my favorite barista at the coffee shop. She knows who my other suitors are and when they come into the coffee shop to buy coffee for me, she has fun with the colors of the Lids that she puts on the take-out cups. I am not certain who started the infamous
PINK LID, but I think it was the Barista along with my friendly coffee shop owner that ordered a small supply of them apparently just for me. I have had Pink Lids on coffee brought to me by all 3 of my suitors... it always warms my heart to see the Pink Lid when I get coffee brought to me. She is very sweet, we have been on just a few dates, and a few shopping trips together... she is lots of fun.

So anyway... I hope that this "Suitor Summary" helps my newer readers understand the mentions of my "Suitor numbers" in some of the comments on my thread and other various threads..
Here I am at my office, it is just 6:50 am here now, I have my coffee on my desk...
... just a standard White LID today
... and I am getting ready to start work on taxes for the early filers.
Please feel free to post and share here on my thread about anything you wish... I love it when my followers feel comfortable enough here to HiJack my thread.... no worries, it will always get back on track.
Hugs and well wishes to all..... I trust that your day will be a good one for you.
Danielle
