I arrived home from work this afternoon and left a trail of clothing from the front door to my room... belt, shoes, jeans... pulled on a comfy pair of boxers, curled up on the couch with my computer and tried to find something on hulu or youtube to distract me from the most emotionally draining day of my Earth Fare life so far. Not too long after getting home, my phone starts to blow up with text messages and phone calls about going to dinner tonight and having a good night on the town. When my platonic friend Kyle called I told him that I didn't think I could go out because I was basically in the depths of despair. To which he replied, "You have five minutes to be at my house... you can't just sit inside and wallow all night, it won't make it better." Reluctantly I washed the tears off my face, replaced them with some tasteful makeup and made my way across the lawn to Kyle's place. Here is an account of what happened next... fill in the blanks with your imagination...
bruschetta and a sweet fried green tomato
lime peanut salad dressing
FoodWorks filet (medium rare, of course)
walk to merry-go-round
stop at big hill and attempt to slide down on cardboard
get to merry-go-round to find it closed
walk across bridge
pass multiple naked lady statues
up lots of stairs (suck in breath)
walk across glass bridge
see lights on the river that look like fireworks
coffee and Religeuse (cream puff thing) at Rembrandts
walk back across bridge
drive to park
swing, slide, glide, play
sit on the dock of the river... (no bay)
All of these adventures include four of the best people I know. good conversation, better laughs. Here are some thoughts from the evening: Greenlife has a clever billboard that says "If we get any fresher, you'll have to slap us" We think Earth Fare should get in a turf war and reply with billboard... my option "Earth Fare: We give it up for free"... Following the shootings at Coolige Park a few nights ago we were not sure it was a GREAT idea to be walking around there, however, "if Tommy got shot in the ass, I'd give him CPR"... if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck... it must be an otter. if you look at the big dipper just right it looks like a question mark, huh?
Earth Fare, you and your people never cease to amaze me... if it looks like a bad day, sounds like a bad day and feels like shit... it just might be the best night in a long, long time. I feel refreshed, ready, and really tired.
