| 05.16.09 (9:32 am) [edit] |
Good morning Boys and Girls.Sweetlady's here for the weekend, and of course, she made it here at least an hour faster than I ever make the trip. She's a beautiful woman, but I'm quite sure her right foot is deformed badly. It looks just fine, but I'll bet it must weigh at least fifty pounds. It the only possibility I can think of that explains her ability to get her trusty mini-van up to a hundred miles an hour in five seconds flat. How it is she never gets pulled over is one of the great mysteries of the Universe. Maybe the cops already know they'd never end up giving her a ticket - once she flashes her smile and charms them a bit - so they don't waste their time in the first place. She'll still asleep, so right now I'm trying to decide what to suggest we do today once she's up and about. I didn't make any plans, since her trip was a spur of the moment decision. It's quite a drive for a weekend. At least when I go there, I get to spend a week or so before I come home. She'll have to leave by about nine tomorrow morning in order to be home by six p.m. when the kids' Dad will drop them off, meaning she'll have been in the car about eighteen hours in order to spend just over a full day here. Maybe we should go see a movie. We've only seem a couple together in the eighteen months we've been together. In fact, it seems we hardly every do "date" stuff, cuz life gets in the way. I suppose we could hit one of the museums here in town. I've lived here three years and have never been inside any of them. Good ex-roomie Dot told me she took one of her nieces to the Gerald Ford Presidential museum a few weeks ago, a place I've walked by on numerous occasions, but never had any real interest in walking through. She's said she felt the same way about it and was pleasantly surprised how many interesting things were on display there, including a sixty foot long, completely furnished replica of the White House. Might be interesting... The Art Museum just moved into a new and much larger facility about a year ago, and I haven't been there either. Wonder if SL might be interested in that? -Or maybe if it clears up a bit outside, I'll drag her to a golf course to give it a go. We went to a driving range last week in Des Moines, and by the time she'd hit most a medium bucket of balls, she was hitting pretty good. Or maybe we'll just hang out here and do nothing but relax. I know we're going to attempt making sushi tonight, something I've never done. She loves the stuff; thinks sushi is "comfort food", but she's never tried making it either, so that'll be fun. Hope it's edible! I suppose if I was a nice guy, instead of writing this post, I'd be making her breakfast... Hmmm. Decisions, decisions, decisions... Be good to everyone. |

If she drives that many hours with a quick turn around to see you do as Clint Eastwood would say make her day.

The only thing worse than driving that distance to see you for a day is driving that distance to see you for more than a day, so make sure you make it worth her while!

We did great on the sushi. It was fab, and pretty darned easy, which surprised me.
Get your butt home. Miss you.

We did. A really nice time. Now, in just a few minutes, I'm going to wake her up and kick her out - so she gets home on time. Thanks.

Everything else you cook/bbq/bake/fry/etc is superb, so I guess the sushi would be also ~ just that you DON'T cook it! Sorry I missed it.

Of course the sushi was easier than he thought, considering he WATCHED me assemble it ;) It was great, though.

Oh yeah. I shopped for the ingredients, I cooked the rice, I chopped all the stuff AND made soup while you played around rolling the stuff. Poooooor you. Wahhhhhhh.

I'm sure it was delicious ~ and I'm sure you had fun with that experience. Too bad you didn't take some photos!

If the Highway Patrol stops her, she can tell them that her husband was a highway patrolman and ran off with another woman, and now she was speeding because she thought he was trying to come back to her!! :)
