Last Wkend's Date
A good time was had by all; that's the short version.
Last weekend, the Sheriff and I attended a surprise birthday party for a friend's sister in law, who I've met twice, but whatever. We had a blast. Like, so much fun. He got here that afternoon and we had to swing by my parent's house to drop off overnight clothes for dear son so the Sheriff got to meet mom, dad, son, AND grandmother, who was in town visiting for the weekend. Yeah, I know. He seemed to take it all in stride, though.
Next I toured him around our little burg before stopping at a local restaurant/bar for a drink. We had an hour to kill. Didn't talk all that much (loud band, crawfish cooking, etc.) but enjoyed the people watching.
Then we had an hour's drive to where the bday party was. Very pleasant chitchat. We got to the restaurant about 6:00 and that, my friends, is when the serious fun started. (That was also when the more serious drinking started, but I digress.) The food was fabulous (seafood stuffed mushrooms, medium rare filet, cajun sausage-stuffed pork chop, chocolate bday cake with chocolate icing for dessert) and we lucked out by being seated across the table from the coolest couple ever. They were so much fun. We ate and drank and drank some more and laughed A LOT. We danced once, which was lovely.
And then, around 10:30 or 11:00ish, (you read that right, some five hours later), we began making our way back to my house. We talked and sang (okay, that was mostly me singing) on the way back and talked a lot.
What can I say? It was fun. He is fun. And very nice looking.
During the drive over to the party I mentioned a movie I want to see (Inside Man) and said something like, "We should see that sometime," and he agreed. This morning I had an email from him saying that he knew we had talked about going to see the movie this weekend (?) but could he take a rain check. He has much to do around his house (he's mentioned this long list of chores several times over the past couple of weeks) and wants to finish them so he can enjoy the rest of the spring season and was this okay - he's working on his communication skills. Which I thought was sweet. So I told him of course a rain check was fine.
So. We'll see what happens next.
