Dinner @ MindSay 
food
The waiter was the nicest one I have ever had. I felt like I was a special guest. He got everything we needed, was polite, smiled, never got angry with us for asking for things. He didn't rush us to get out after our dinner (garlic chicken & broccoli over mushroom head shaped pasta in some lovely garlicky sauce). Needless to say, he got a nice tip from the Man. I paid for dinner and murmured "happy anniversary". I wanted this to be a special night, since we aren't really sure what October is going to be like with all the stuff going on that month.
I would have liked to also get him Ninja Gaiden 2 for his anniversary present, but we don't own an xbox 360. I wonder if I could call in a few favors, get the 360 AND the game, and see his face light up when he gets the presents in hand. That would be worth all the string pulling in the world. If we had the 360, I would not even have hesitated to buy the game for him. He adores the one for his regular xbox so much! I love to see him happy.
By the time dinner was done, we were too late for any movie we wanted to watch so we headed home. Great night all in all. We finished it off by watching a kid movie and eating snacks in bed LOL!
This weekend though, we arrived at dinner last night to find out that it was not lasagna, but veggie taco night! As soon as I saw the cheese and tortillas I knew that we were in business. To say that our son loves quesadilla would be a HUGE understatement. So Av and I set out to make one of his favorite meals. He was thrilled, and I could put the food I brought for him back in the fridge. Towards the end of dinner, as he was finishing up his tortilla chips and extra cheese, I see them setting up the ice cream sundae bar.
I say to Av "Wasn't dinner great? What do you think would make this dinner even MORE awesome?" with thoughts of chocolate syrup and sprinkles dancing in my head. He thought about it for a few seconds and replies "More cheese?"
After going to bed around 1235 am last night. It was up at 645 , getting ready for work, and there by 730.
Yay, I'm at work again. Not! Just another day of cleaning up after the lazy asshole's that work in my store. One lazy piece of crap that works the service desk some mornings in particular. The lady should of retired already, like she keeps saying to people, that she's going to. Well, she's still kick'n so I guess not.
Other then that, which thankful never last long as she's usually gone by 11, there was nothing going on note worthy. Just another crappy day. Although Sunday pay is a plus note.
So, home at 130 today. Where I went and got changed, then it was time for dinner. Chicken Alfredo, what I guess is an ok dinner. Then I returned to my room and turned on TV. Searching for something to watch I found, Criss Angel : Mindfreak. That lasted for two hours, and now it just whatever. I guess I'll be flipping between the Olympics, and whatever else I can find on TV.
Later tonight , the Buffalo BILLS play there next pre-season game. Let's go buff-a-lo!
What else is on my mind? I guess I'm happy with my stainless steel 14K wheel / barrel style pendant, cause I keep going back to it when I can't make up my mind. So, until I change my mind, or find something somewhere interesting, I'll be wearing that. Any comments?
Also, I just trimmed my hair. I really don't know what to do with it. I seems to be getting blonder, which I guess is what happens when you work outside in the sun, but its also frizzy and just a mess to me. So, we'll see if it looks better, about say an inch or so shorter. With a shorter part toward the front. Somewhat inspired by Criss. Again, any comment? Suggestions?
So, I guess that's what's go'n on in my world.

IT WAS SUBLIME!!!
It went a little something like this!
Summary: Full Panda
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would Love to spend some time with you.' The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. 'I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,' I responded 'just the two of us.' She thought about it for a moment, and then said. 'I would like that very much.'
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up ' was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. 'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she said, as she got into the car. 'They can't wait to hear about our meeting.'
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.
'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice, much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me.
'I love you, son'
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I love YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some 'other' time.
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby... somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history.
Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first... somebody doesn't have two or more children.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery.... somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten... or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.'
Somebody said a Mother can stop worrying after her child gets married... somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home... somebody never had grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her... somebody isn't a mother.
Pass this along to all the GREAT 'mothers' in your life and to everyone who ever had a mother. This isn't just about being a mother; it's about appreciating the people in your lives while you have them... no matter who that person is!
Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes ...your destiny
'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle'.
