Yesterday turned into a bit of a surprise. What I had expected to be another standard day ended up being a bit of fun. I spent the majority of the day working. Had that early conference call that went almost two hours and resulted in a number of changes needed to my model. That I figured would happen as it was the first draft and there were some folks who were just seeing it for the first time outside the group I have been working with thus far. No biggie there. Also it ensures that I have work to do at least through next week. I have some things scheduled for the end of the month and the first week of Feb, but I need to make sure I fill the next three weeks up too. As of right now I have at least next week covered which is good.
TGF had to take her car in for service yesterday and then spent the day hanging out with an old friend. Around 4 she called to see if I was done working and if she could come over. I said no problem. She was planning on taking the train since her car won't be ready until today around 5. I looked up train schedules for her and she happened to be right in that time where most of the trains are express and don't stop at all stops. It was going to take 2 plus hours if she took the train and most of that would be waiting on a platform. I told her I would come pick her up. The kid decided she wanted to come with me because she too has been in the house for a couple of days straight.
We headed out to pick her up and stopped at the mall while we were out. I still need a new pair of jeans without holes in them. I didn't buy them last night because while we were shopping I got a text from a friend telling us to show up for dinner in 45 minutes.
Earlier I had texted this person asking if they wanted to come over to watch Project Runway with us last night. It was the season premiere of All-Stars. She said she had to work. Her and her mother work for a nice restaurant that just opened a new location. I jokingly said can you get us in for free tonight? A half hour later she texted back saying can you be here by six? Hell yes we could. Turns out the restaurant is still in their soft opening this week. It's by invite only and everything but booze is comped. Awesome. We ended up having a really nice dinner that was $150 before tip for $25. The $25 was the tip for the waitress. The general manager came and spoke with us and wanted our feedback on everything. We gave him our honest opinion of all the food and service. That turned out to be really fun. We all ordered something different for an entree, salad/soup, and appetizer. They actually had a menu they wanted us to follow and choose from so that we could try what they expected to be their more popular items. A couple of things were off, but otherwise everything was good. I did make some comments about the prices as they gave us the full bill at the end of the night. TGF had the prawns which while good were not worth $25 which would have been the normal price. This was more than my steak at $22. The kid had an excellent pork chop which was worth $22. For dessert we shared the churro hot fudge sunday.
Came home around 8 and settled in for All Stars. This is going to be a fun season. The best of the best with all new judges. TGF and I played some Disney Adventures before bed. We then headed off to the bedroom and yes, we had sex. Okay, last night marked 8 times in six days. Seriously at this rate we will have more sex in January than I had ALL of 2010 and ALL of 2009. Sad, but true. That girl has the libido and stamina of a guy. Seriously.
Working today. Driving TGF back to her car around 5 and then a quiet night at home.
