Re:Gift

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Omar, Omar, Omar. Poor thing can’t catch a break on my blog. Oh well.

Several Christmases ago, Omar and I decided that we would each take care of getting our moms’ Christmas presents and sign the other person’s name to it. Great idea in my opinion.

I took care of my mom’s present- a bottle of perfume and some new clothes.

Christmas Eve was upon us. We were to exchange presents with Om’s family that night. Omar got home from work and we were getting ready to go to his family’s Christmas Eve party.

I ask about his mom’s present to make sure he doesn’t leave it at home.

Little did I know, Omar didn’t buy his mom a present. Instead he pulled out a Barnes and Noble $20 gift card that he won several days earlier at work, signed our names to it and that was that.

The look on her face was such the look of embarrassment. I was so embarrassed for her. Poor thing. She got a re:gift from her son.

I’m not even sure she enjoys reading.

After that, I handled getting presents for his mom-for Mother’s Day, birthdays and such- though wait a second…i did pick out her birthday present one year and he made me take it back to the store because he thought $25 was too much to spend- so nevermind.

Lesson from this dating dilemma: Don’t date a cheap guy. Because, honey, money isn’t everything, but if that’s how he treats his mother, then you’re in store for a lot worse.

Cooked!

Merry Christmas, cheeky lovers! I hope everyone has a happy holiday and please remember, if you’re going to bring Italian sausage to any of your holiday parties, you need to cook it first.

Have a very cheeky Christmas.

“Words That Rhyme With Omar”

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Words that rhyme with Omar. Someone googled this phrase and came upon my blog. Sorry kiddo (whoever you may be). I think you may be trying to solve the riddle in a post written a few days back entitled “Words That Rhyme”. I’m pretty sure the words dark, lark, hark and ark don’t rhyme with Omar.

But someone’s girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend’s name does. And he called me to fill me in on *everything*. More than I wanted to know really.

What lessons did I take from the conversations with an ex’s girlfriend’s ex, you wonder?

Well, I learned that karma can be pretty harsh to some people, especially when you show up at your girl’s apartment to find another … Hey! It’s almost time for my show on vH1.

I Ruined It!

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

I love the feeling i get when I’m in a new relationship. I feel constantly giddy. Constantly. Learning new things about each, funny little inside jokes…it’s all just so, well, so cute.

Zack sent me a text on a Thursday asking me if I could get off work the next day or Monday. I didn’t really have much vacation, so I said no, probably not. He texts back with “Do you want to go to NYC for the weekend?” I thought to myself, yes, I would love to. He booked the tickets. We were to leave before the sun came up Saturday morning and would be back late, late Sunday night. So I drove down to New Orleans that Friday after work.

We had been dating for a month.

I get to his house; we’re cuddling on his sofa watching tv. By this point, I was totally into the guy. I thought he was the raddest person I had ever met. As we’re sitting there watching tv, he says “I love your eyes.”

I meant to reply with something off-the-wall, yet totally me like “I love your FACE!” (With emphasis on the word ‘face’.) Instead, I stupidly blurt out, “I love you!”

Pause. Silence for a few seconds….seemed like forever.

And he replied, “I was waiting until we got to the Brooklyn Bridge to tell you that!”

And I said nervously, “I ruined it?!?!”

The dilemma here? I’m so silly. Moments like that can’t be ruined- you can plan and plan and plan, but it will happen naturally, sometimes at the most random moments. And instead of saying “I love your FACE!”, you’ll say “I love you” instead.

I guess since he felt the same way, I wasn’t in too much of a dilemma, but I like this story. So it goes in my blog.

Drown Me In Your Love

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

So awhile back I was showering at my guy of the time’s house. He thought he’d be “romantic” and help this dirty girl get clean. As I’m washing my hair, he decides to hop in. Which is fine.

I close my eyes, tilt my head back to rinse the shampoo. There’s nothing more wonderful than the feeling of hot water running through your hair as all of the impurities are washed away.

Then, water unexpectedly rushes over my face. Not able to see, I take a step away from the shower head so that i can catch my breath. Water is still pouring down my face. Eyes squinched closed due to shampoo now burning them, I try to move away from the water once more and fail again.

So I put my hands over my face and yell, “What in the hell is going on?!?”

The waterfall on my face ceases.

And I open my eyes to the innocent face of my guy standing there with a hand-held shower head. How sweet. He was trying to help me wash my hair.

And almost drowned me in his love while doing it.

Famous or Infamous

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Cheeky Cherry’s Dating Dilemmas has caused quite a stir recently-enough of a stir to actually be talked about at a Christmas party a week or so ago! I’m so thrilled. But, boys, please…if there is a story on here you think may be about you, don’t go around telling everyone it’s about you. You’re only “telling” on yourself…and sorry to say it, but you will have a hard time finding a normal girl to date. And I stress normal.

Since there’s been such havoc over this blog, I’ve been watching my stats closely and want to share a few things that people googled to come across CC’sDD.

1. red leather pants (or any version of something to do with leather and pants)- ok…whoever is looking this up, you’ve looked it up almost everyday for about 2 weeks now and came across my blog every time. 22 times in the past 30 days. Ever considered bookmarking the blog?

2. men dating cheeky texts- don’t be silly, men can’t date text messages. 

3. status update (or any version of this as well)- the particular blog entry that most likely came up with these searches vaguely reminds me of when people get broken up with through text messages. Oh kids.

and my favorite which was only googled once:

4. dancing spidey emoticon- this is by far the best search anyone has done and came across this blog :D

Keep it cheeky, lovers!
