Meeting her
So apparently I had the days all mixed up. Timbuctoo's women came home tuesday. And I met her today. So I guess I should get around to talking about her.
Earlier in the week, when I asked about her, Timbuctoo said that she could be snooty, that she was a little territorial if she thinks someone is interested in him, and that in the past when she was gone and he was hanging out with another girl it got messy cuz she got really upset about it and didn't want him talk to her anymore. And then of course the other girl took it personally and it was something of a snafu. And they WERE just friends. So Timbuctoo told me that now, he just makes it clear when she's going over the top and everything's fine.
So suffice to say, I didn't get the greatest impression of her. Which confused me because another day when we were all out drinking I was talking about how concerned I was that she'd be upset that I was hanging out with Timbuctoo and everyone said I shouldn't worry about it cuz she was cool...grr...
Anyway, I just kinda thought the nice things he said about her were superficial...but maybe that's what I wanted to hear...who knows.
Timbuctoo called me while I was eating dinner to play ball. He wouldn't have cuz I know he didn't want me meeting her right away, but his team was short girls so he picked me up and warned me she'd be there.
And she looked and acted exactly as I had imagined. Not rude, but a little cold. Not too friendly, but polite enough. And very bookish. She's pretty but plain. It all fit. She didn't seem snooty to me. Driving me home, I couldn't help but feel like their conversation was very, I don't know, bland...functional...I guess that's what happens after 8 years...
It occurred to me that maybe meeting her early was a good thing...so she could have a first impression of me unmarred by other people saying I was hanging off her boyfriend when she wasn't around...
And I felt exactly as I expected. Fine. I did find myself avoiding watching them together just in case he kissed her, but I didn't feel upset when I thought he had. I didn't feel TOO nervous going and sitting next to her or making fun of Timbuctoo as I normally do. It went as well as it possibly could have.

What would I do without you to make things obvious to me...I never thought about it that way. Dear God I don't want to be in the middle...if he even thinks about leaving her for me, rather than leaving her for him, I think I might throw myself into traffic!
