International Relations

No...... the Mistress isn't talking to you from the Kremlin in Red Square, but I am doing my part to build American and Russian International ties. About  three weeks ago, I was excited to get a call from my Russian, yes, do you remember my Russian? We had dated for the spring of 2011 till he returned to Russia. If your new to the Casa, I had met Vitali at work,  no, it wasn't a scandal, as I work in a different position. As a matter of fact, I hardly ever saw him at work after we started dating. For all intense and purposes I coined him "The Russian on here. Vitali went back to Russia after living here seven years, to tend to family issues back in Moscow. About three weeks ago, I got a call from him, who said he would be coming back for a few weeks to visit some family who live here., and he wanted to know if I could play hostess. Of course I'm all to willing, since we had such a whirlwind romance of the spring of 2011!

Never let it be said I didn't do anything to help international relations!!! I'm all to willing since he is a tall dirty blond Russian with that dark and authoritative accent!!!!! I took a half day yesterday to pick him up at the airport in Baltimore. I tell you with service like mine, next thing you know, I be in here..... general assembling.........

Anyway, upon picking Vitali up, he was still as adorable as before, and when he gave a warm greeting and started talking I drop the luggage. A accent will get me every time. We got all caught up for a while before hitting the road. I pride myself on being spontaneous, so I decided after his dreaded flight, to take him into Baltimore to the Lexington Square Market to my favorite seafood eatery Faidley's Seafood, for one of Nancy Faidley's famous crab cake specials with beer, went to the Harbor for a little harbor cruise to relax... then hit the road to come home to the Philadelphia area. He'll be here for a week at the Casa, before he leaves to visit his family. But he wants me to take him to the airport when he returns. I think he just wants some pillow talk before take off!!! My best arena to do international relations!!!!  I'm not one to jeopardize our ties with Russia, so , I'm to willing to oblige!

 On the way home I told him of all the things we will do and see, and at least one night planned dancing, and a little dinner party at the Casa. Then I caught myself singing Fly Me to the Moon. Embarrassing.....but he fell asleep in the car before getting to the Casa. 

 

When we got to the Casa I made a late dinner,  we talked , had three bottles of wine, listened to jazz, and shared a cuban outside, one of my gulity pleasures, and I told him again of all the plans. He is so cute...he said " Are all American boys so exciting and spontaneous as you ?" I said," Alas.....no."

 

meanwhile blogging may be a bit light this week 

The Dating Game, Life at the Sugar Shack!

I has been a while since I talked about who the Mistress has been doing.....I meant, who I have been seeing, he,he, I meant to say. Fluffy, Lady Fingers, and Batina are confused as to whats going on here at the sugar shack! I need a Cliff notes some days! And no Cali-Boi, I won't be sharing all the stories of men. Who has the much time? I have to say when I first split up after a ten year relationship, I was a bit nervous. I though I would take lots of time not seeing anyone, and would I remember how to even date again, and would I want to? But one does get those pesky "stirring and urgings" if you know what I'm saying. wink. After the split I did take about two months just exiled in the Casa du Borghese to "de-tox". And then it started. I went to a going away party for a friend and met a lovely bunch of old and new friends and the dating slowly started to come back. At first I was worried. When your in a relationship it seems you meet lots of people who are interested in you, but you were like "Flattered, but I'm in a relationship." When your single you can't find anyone. This time around it was different. I started to date four different guys, all very different from one another, and I stated up front nothing serious right away, at least not after ten years. I am always initially surprised when I meet a guy who is conventional in appearance. I say ‘appearance’ because they can turn out to be as mad as a bag of cats once you get to know them. Appearance is, of course not everything, shared interests, attitudes and downright magnetic attraction play a part. But, at the end of the day, is it better to end up with a man from the same ‘scene’? And then in some cases, who said anything about talking honey. So for now, I have been living in sin.

So this is the current low down for you gals!

1- The Lad. The Lad is currently the youngest of the men right now. He is pretty much full of energy, mischief, full of lots of life. Sometimes I don't think there is a off switch. We have lots in common,and enjoy each other's company, and we both know where the other is coming from. Neither of us wants anything serious yet, and this a totally good guilty "friends with benefits" here!!!

2- J- Where to start. I have known J for over a year and half. After the split, he came full force in my direction. Now, J is easy very on the eyes, kind hearted, and loves doing all kinds of things of interests. He just also came out of a eight year marriage and has a son. And never stops talking. And way to traditional, religious and conservative. And has some guilty demons over the "gay" thing and the religion thing. After going on several dates and  many a night of sinning, I knew this wasn't working. Plus he was also getting bothered by the distance thing since he lives a hour away. I think we will be friends, but the dating has to ended. Plus he wants the whole package, and that isn't happening at this time.

3- The Prince- The Prince runs in the same circle as the Lad. Yeah. Awkward. But it all happened so naturally. And everything is out in the open. The Prince is a 6'3, blond,has a surf guy look, not my usual type. He also, I think, would like more, but knows where I'm coming from. We do enjoy lots of common interest. Down the road, who knows. He does get my flutter going and I do enjoy his company, so we will see what happens. Only problem is he is not as "hungry" as the Mistress if you get what I'm stepping in! But when it happens, I'm satisfied!!!

4-The Russian- The Russian and I met at work through my co-worker and have gone out several times. We always had a wonderful time, but have since cooled it, and it was clear that was on it's way to a full on physical relationship. Did I need another one like that? No. But oh, that accent........ were still friends though.

5- Mistress Maddie's #1 Fan- Thanks to him, this is how the Mistress got in this mess. He introduced me to three of the above guys, and then left the scene. And no Fuffy, he is not a blogger stalker. He was a co-worker who read my blog. He had no idea that I was the Mistress, till one day he was talking about my blog and then I introduced myself as the Mistress. Neither of us knew for about a year who each other was.

6-The Boy Toy- the Boy-Toy is my current ex and still living to talk about. See, most of my ex's all go unseen and never heard from again. Where do they go? Some say the Mistress eats them like Zeus did his babies. I'm not saying. The Boy-Toy is the ex of ten years, and we still talk and are good friends, even family. And we even discuss our dating woes and stories from the bed sheets!

7-Cali-Boi- I have never met or even talked to Cali-Boi in my life! He is a blog reader, and sends me the occasional flirty email from time to time, and I only included him here so he doesn't have a fit!!!! Oh and btw Cali-Boi, thank- you so much for the tee shirt. I LOVED it!

Soooooo, it is basically down to three currents. I have one who is bed scorcher who does not want a relationship at this time, one who may want a relationship now, who is not so as sexually charged, and another who would like the whole package. Qu'ai-je embarquée? Ah well, I'm just going with and enjoy every minute for now! Any advice? Tootles!
