As in, oh yes...very nice! Extremely wonderful. Plenty of fun-filled activities! With both my menfolks, though Stefano got the bulk of my time which I was happy to give him.
So Friday I went to his place and we headed to the Big Easy to see our friend's band play. They are about to go to Memphis this week to represent Houston in the W.C. Handy blues contest. We said hi to a bunch of folks, danced, drank, and at the end of the 1st set we headed to the Continental for Papa Grows Funk. Unfortunately there were a bunch of juveniles (college age kids) there and I didn't quite understand why. Strangely there is also a new club on the block that is geared towards these kids as well. Bizarre that they would be located there. The band was great, although I wasn't getting into it as much as I usually do. The children and Stefano were both kinda distracting. We didn't stay too long and headed back home.
Saturday we slept in, which is always so blissful for me. But I had to get up at a somewhat decent hour to go on patrol. First I ran by the drugstore to pick up a mustache grooming kit and a birthday card for my Popo, then I went to his house. My aunt who hates me showed up and I was a little amazed at how nasty and bitter she still is; damn, get over it already! Oh well, it's her toxic life and she has to live it. Me and my mom took some pictures w/Popo, then I headed to patrol. I worked w/the fun FTO I worked with once last month; however after making an arrest of the Most Annoying PI Ever, J. called me to tell me my sliding glass door was not locking at my house. I realized I was gonna have to go home and deal w/this problem and call a locksmith on a Saturday night. Sure enough when I got home the lock was not functioning very well and a locksmith said he could come out in an hour or so. I took advantage of being in uniform to go get a discounted meal at friendly Chik-Fil-A while I was waiting.
Long story short, the locksmith said he couldn't get the part until the next day, but recommended I call the place the part was gonna come from anyway. However they were not answering the phone and hopefully would be open on Monday. I didn't know what to do; so I began drinking box wine. Stefano called and asked if he could do anything but I didn't know what to tell him. I decided that the odds of someone trying to get into my place were really, really, really low and I secured the door best I could and went to Stefano's where he distracted me and cheered me up all night long.
Sunday a.m. I really slept in! Like 'til 11am! Then it was time to get home and get all dolled up for our afternoon matinee at the symphony. I have to say, we both looked adorable. It finally warmed up enough where I didn't need a jacket and I wore my red pashmina that I've been wearing a lot lately that was a Xmas gift from my boss. Also a short skirt and tall boots; Stefano wore a gray suit w/black shirt that was sexily unbuttoned just enough! We had great seats; Stefano had splurged a little. And it was so cool to see all these names in the symphony roster that I went way back with, all the way to my teens in a lot of cases! We were treated to an amazing experience indeed: the original arrangement of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue! I have never seen that and likely never will again. Even Sweet Dick Pete was impressed when I told him about it later!
During intermission we each got a Disarrono on the rocks: YUMMY! After the symphony we headed to the gourmet grocery store and Stefano said he'd make us a nicoise salad w/tuna steak on top and shrimp to snack on. I offered to buy the wine and dessert--b/c I have to have sweets, as we all know. I bought 2 kinds of Reisling (I hadn't yet received my shipment from wine.com) and bread pudding. While there we ran into one of my fellow board members from the High-spanic Health Coalition and I introduced Stefano by his real name since I have decided that Stefano is the new, wonderful, improved, fantastic amazing "S" in my life now!!! [I had really been introducing him to people as "Stefano"; I am ready for this to stop now.]
Back at home we finished off another bottle of sweet white wine that we'd begun drinking on Sat. night. Dinner was quite yummy and then we settled in to watch Cadillac Records, which I had not seen yet. I opened one of the new Reislings and we got a little crazy. It was great watching that movie, especially since Leo is making us do a Muddy Waters song, "I Can Never Be Satisfied". Stefano told me later that I drank the whole bottle of wine by myself although I remember pouring him some! I got pretty crazy and set off his burglar alarm, heh heh! Later I said that was amateur stuff though. I almost lost my booze and Stefano was quite worried about me! He said b/c he cares so much about me... awwww...
The next morning I had to get up early and go pick up my wine.com shipment and also call the other locksmith to see if he could come help me. The guy said he could come possibly around noon; so I struggled to get myself ready for the day and I was feeling kinda lousy, but not anywhere near the worst hangover I've ever had. I went to pick up my shipment later that morning but as I was driving away I did, in fact, have to pull over and... I am officially a crazy bitch that can't hold her liquor! Blehhh. I haven't done that in about 7 years!
My boss at Job #2 had texted me late on Friday to say that there would be a staff meeting on Monday at 1:30 and he'd like me to be there, so I told DA I'd be at his house after that so we could spend some quality time together. Stefano had offered to come help me with the locksmith guy and housesit for me since I had to leave at around 1p but the guy showed up right after noon and I was able to take care of it. $172 and about 20 min. later my door was fixed and better than ever, I must say! I guess that's money well spent. By then I was feeling much much better and after knocking out my 2 hours at Job #2 I picked up DA from his house, we went to Spec's so I could get some Disarrono (my new favorite drink) and some Peppermint Schnappe's so we could put it in some hot chocolate. Back at his house he made us a sandwich and we had chips/queso/salsa and some Friendship Bread his grandma had made and the delicious hot chocolate (which made me a little sick a few hours later but that's only b/c I'm lactose intolerant and DA made it with milk). Then we hung out the rest of the day in his bedroom attempting to watch some movies but that didn't really happen since we hadn't seen each other in awhile... later on we put on some Three Stooges and laughed our asses off. I didn't go shooting after all b/c I decided I'd rather spend the time w/DA. I finally had to bid him adieu around 9:30p so I could get home and try to work on some bass stuff before rehearsal tonight. I called Stefano on the way home since he had called me earlier and I couldn't talk b/c I was with DA. I woke him up but he never minds when I do that and today told me that he had a dream about me!
Today DA went back to school and he is riding his bike since his occupational driver's license has not yet come through. I don't know when I'll be able to see him again; perhaps this Fri. night if he doesn't go into work after all and since Stefano has a gig. (Stefano always wants me to meet him after his gigs, though so far I haven't taken him up on the offer. I'll be w/Stefano on Saturday evening and night for sure anyway since he's coming to my gig!) DA and I will do Stooges again next Tues. night since next Mon. night is my monthly sheriff meeting. Rehearsal tonight and my crazy busy week has just begun! So thank God I had an awesome incredible fun weekend to kick start it off!
