It's not just a lovely scent in a bottle folks, it can also be an emotion felt by many across this grand world of ours. Yes, I am prone to those feelings as well. I would like to think that I probably obsess over about three to four people a year before coming to my senses. Most of the people I know on some level until these last few days.
Rick and I took Gavin to the Lunatic Luau on Saturday, an all day concert with like fifteen bands. We were met by the lovely Gretchen and her son, and another friend of work. It was a fun day, lots of sun though it wasn't too hot. We tried to save Gavin from burning by having him hide in his dad's shirt cause I was stupid enough to leave the sunscreen in the car. What a dork I am.
But I digress. Anyway. While there, I noticed this really good looking guy. He was in a black tank top, black dress slacks with black loafers. His hair black, skin pale except where burnt by the sun from being outide in the lawn area. On top of his head was a black fedora. I'm a sucker for it, honestly. That look.. just plain does it for me anyway. I should have been a flapper or something so I could hang around gangster types. And I couldn't take my eyes off him. Because the first thing I did was a double take, he looks exactly like the other Rick. He was apparently all by his lonesome and I so wanted to just go up to him and talk to him, see what he was like. But me being shy, and there with my family, I didn't.
The concert itself was tons of fun, the company was great. We were at the perfect place to see both stages without having to move too far from our original spots. The only thing that marred an almost perfect day was the price of food and drink. Good grief, four dollars for water. Six for a soda and *gasp* ten for beer?! By the Gods, it was highway robbery. Oh well though, what can you do?
Things are settling down around my house. After the visit, there was some moments where things were weird between Rick and myself. One big blow up so far but I think it was a combination of a headache on his part, being tired and grumpy on mine. Other than that, it's.. moving along enough that we're planning our own visit out to Illinois in March. Melissa knows a friend at a local hotel and is going to reserve our rooms for us at like.. half price or something. I'll be scouring the internet for deals on plane tickets. We are gonna take the kids with us...Yeah. So we need to save money.
Our girl was upset with us that we didn't invite her to the concert on Saturday, Gretch. I told her that we thought about her and even said we should have asked her to come. But she sulked a bit tonight when I told her that, and said that was fine. She just wouldn't ask us out anymore. Pfft.. We need to find someplace to go where we can invite her so she won't feel so ignored by us. It wouldn't hurt my feelings any. You were missed at work.. The food was great, I'm still stuffed even now. Good grief.
