Friends, I have had a weekend that was downright decadent.
Friday night I went over to Renee’s house so she could make me dinner – Lasagna, no less. She was concerned because I was picking up all the checks whenever we went out. “I’m going to have to make dinner for you” she says. So we had a nice quiet dinner at her place on Friday night.
The next morning we got up and did a little shopping. She bought some sparkly shoes for her daughter and I bought some new shoes that I can wear to work. We also walked around a couple of “house wares”-type stores and she bought some new sheets.
Later that day we went to see a movie (“Dan in Real Life”) and ate some food. Sunday morning we got up and she had to go pick up her daughter – ex-husband had her for the weekend – so we didn’t have much planned. *
It was so nice and so comfortable I just couldn’t believe it. We talked about all the ‘heavy’ things you’re supposed to talk about: Religion, Politics, Sports, Life, etc. There wasn’t anything she said that I had a major problem with. There were no battles, no fights and no animals were harmed in the making of the weekend.
Saturday night we sat outside at one of my favorite establishments, having a few drinks. The weather was nice (though a little cool for short sleeves) with a breeze floating through.
I’m trying to sum up as best I can what happened but with every situation there are little nuances between two people that occur that cannot be written. A glance here, an unexplained laugh there, the sarcasm in a carefully worded statement… the smile. These are incidents that bond two people together. They cannot be summed up in words.
You’re reading this entry thinking to yourself “I don’t see why this was the best weekend he’s had” and I would explain to you that these minor details are what make up the day, or the weekend.
It’s also the person you share them with.
* - I have not been introduced to her daughter yet.
