• The Aftermath

  For those of you that want to know, are curious about what happened when J finally came home... we talked but not as much as I thought we would. I almost was to wore out from the whole thing to not really care. No one is perfect but this, to me, is a major flaw. If you can not make it home - due to your job or some other reason - you call. PERIOD. This having been said I walked away and left him alone.

  Late Friday afternoon, after he was finally up and around after salting roads most of the night, I sat down next to him on the couch. We cuddled for awhile and watched some tv. Finally he said "You need to go fix your hair and put some make up on so we can get some dinner." I took that as a hint that I looked like crap. Earlier I had taken a shower and let my hair air dry - it is fairly curly and dries weird. All I could think is "If we are just going to go to dinner why does he care?" I almost put on mascara only and then though perhaps it would be fun to do it all and get some extra attention. Not off him, but other men where ever we go. That decided I straightened my hair and put on "the works" for make up. Normally I do not wear foundation but did tonight.

  I was soooo glad I did.

  Ont he way to dinner he told me we would have to hurry - go someplace not to busy. This irritated me and when I asked why he said "Did you forget that my daughter has a basketball game tonight."

  My response was "Well yeah kinda since you never have taken me to one (this was the second one btw - no biggie)."

  "I wanted to surprise you." he had. I knew his whole family would be there along with the ex wife. It turned out to be a lot of fun! His ex is always nice to me but seemed surprised to see me there as she never takes her BF anywhere where J might be. Weirdness. Not my problem.

  After the game, which they lost (ahhhh), we drove a different way home. When it became apparent to me we were not going home I asked what out destination might be. He told me were were on our way to get gas. Oh ok. We ended up on Metcalf over near Hooters and he asked if I wanted to go in. "Ummm no." So he drove around behind Hooters and asked if I wanted to go to the Comedy club. "Really? Two surprises in one night?" I was so glad I looked nice. "Yep - our name is on the list."

  He had gone in there before coming home and put us on the list to see Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live). We had a great time! She sucked but the opening act was good and we got passes to see another show. We really needed that time out together. The rest of the night was great spent in each others arms.

  Do his surprises make up for his lack of communication? Yes. Will I get pissed if he does it again? Yes. Does he mean to hurt me? No. But it does. However, it will not keep me from loving him.

  In other news we are waiting for more ice here in KC. The lake (where my family is) already is losing power everywhere and I hope we don't up here. Ice is good for the tree business though so J is praying for enough to cause damage to trees. He can make anywhere from $50k on up per week in clean up. I will be answering calls for him if this hits and keeping a list of who needs what. The phone is already ringing more than usual today. He is still home though - I do not have to answer until he leaves or hopefully until tonight.

  I think I will go get me a piece of ass before he leaves...
