Love Spells Rule!

So things have been going really well. I've seen Bill three times now, and he's such a nice guy. The second time I saw him was for a drink - our first proper date. It was a shock seeing him dressed in normal clothes, by which I mean not his bus drivers uniform! He looked even hotter than I remembered.

We had a great evening, we were both really relaxed, there weren't any of those awkward silences that can sometimes happen, and which terrify me. I always want to fill them by saying something, and end up saying something stupid.

Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting any of this to happen that has taken off some of the pressure. It didn't feel like "dating", but going to see a guy I already knew (although of course I hardly "know" him).

Anyway, right now I have to say that love spells rule! If this all a week of funny chanting produces, it has been well worth it!

First Results?

Ok so this is weird. Last post I mentioned how i would be looking at the bus driver and everyone else, right? Well yesterday afternoon I got the bus home from doing some shopping, and I was the only person on board. About halfway home, the bus broke down. The driver called the depot and they said they were sending another bus, but it would be about 45 minutes before it arrived (he relayed all this back to me).

I was too far from home to walk the rest of the way with my shopping bags, and not in any great hurry as the kids weren't due home for another couple of hours. So I was ready to just sit there for a bit and listen to some stuff on my ipod. So far so normal.

Then, the driver gets out of his cab, and says to me that there's a cafe 20 feet from where we're stopped, and would I like to join him for a coffee while we wait. I said sure, why not, its more comfortable than the bus.

So we went for coffee together. And we chatted for a good hour (the replacement bus was late). His name is Bill and he is actually really a nice guy. Pretty good looking, and genuinely funny and nice to talk to.

When the replacement bus arrived bringing a mechanic to fix bills bus, and to take me onward on my journey, I was quite reluctant to leave, I was having a good time. And then Bill, as if reading my mind, said he was having a good time chatting with me, and perhaps we could continue the conversation over a drink one evening later in the week. So now I have a date!

Is this the work of the spell? I mean, it's really early days, but heck, this is the first date I've had in a very very long time, and I didn't have to do anything to get it - it all fell into my lap. Wow, it's all quite weird. But good weird!

I shall keep you posted!

The Love Spell Is Complete!

I have finally finished chanting this damned spell! Wow, I sure am glad I only had to do that for one week. It was getting quite tedious doing it every day. I had to motivate myself by thinking a lot about the end result. Which is no bad thing, I mean, a bit of visualisation can't hurt and will probably help right?

Now that I'm done, I feel almost a bit of a let down. You know how when you're really excited about something and then all of a sudden its all over? Its a bit like that. Which is silly really, because it's not over. Really, it's just started. I mean, I've cast the love spell, now I can sit back and wait for some results.

The temptation now is to look for results of the spell in every situation. That's going to be hard to deal with. When I get on the bus I'm going to be checking out the bus driver to see if he's looking at me any differently. When I talk to my kids teachers, I'll be doing the same. I shouldn't, I know. I should just wait and let the spell do its thing, but it's hard!

The instructions say that it will be obvious when the spell starts working. It's not like I have to pick out clues and then follow them up. It really will be a case of something drastic happening. Fingers crossed eh?
