Soul-O asked about the senator. I totally forgot I mentioned that on here. Sorry, I'm getting older and am having brain spasms lately.
He's been seeing someone else, but not seriously, so we're gonna take it slow for now. I'm a little hesitant, even though he says she is "nothing serious." I don't really want to be considered "nothing serious" at this point in my life. So I'm taking it slowly. We are talking on the phone a lot, but that's about it. But he is going to accompany me Friday night-and here is why.
My 16 y.o. son plays guitar in a punk band. We live in a very rural area (out town has a McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and a Huddle House and 1 grocery store). The boys have been playing in some of the larger towns around (at least a 30 minute dirve away), and apparently someone "important" heard them because they have been asked to open for a band from New York City.
I am so excited for them. They are seeing this as their "Big Break." Secretly I'm sure nothing will come of it except more spending money, but it really is a big deal for them. I took the afternoon off yesterday, and we went and bought a suitably funky, old-looking new outfit (but boys don't call them outfits) for him to wear, (and of course I had to get one for myself as well).
The senator is going to meet us there because I am going early with my son to help get everything set up. Also, this helps get over the whole awkward first date routine, as we will be going and leaving in separate vehicles.
I promise I'll try not to forget to update you this time.
