Hi friends. Yes, I am keeping myself quite busy. But not too busy to steal a minute for an update.
Nothing meaningful. She has been busy with family, staying Wed night with her sister and then checked in to the hotel on Thursday. She went out with her younger niece that night and then the older one last night. Today is the older niece's birthday brunch.
SW was trying to get Mr. S to meet up with her tonight if he could free it up (instead of, or in addition to, the set plan on Sunday). No word if that hsppened, but I'm told by SW the she and the two nieces did a slumber party in her hotel room last night and may repeat tonight. Again, a slight opening in case Mr. S comes through, but nothing to indicate that's happening.
I believe she is planning to go to dinner tonight to a specific lakefront restaurant that has the highest likelihood of running into Mr. D (e.g. Richie Rich, her young love).
I took a slow day yesterday after working like a madman on Wed and Thu, late each night, to get some business projects completed. Lunch with a buddy, an hour at Home Depot gathering supplies, etc.
Today up early for 35-mile ride with 3200 feet elevation gain. Then directly to the home improvement projects. Got some good headway today and will continue tomorrow. But I'm going out with another buddy tonight to the same restaurant that SW and I did a double-date a few weeks ago with Mr. B and his sure-thing Ms. R. This place is one of the best outdoor dining restaurant around, and it effectively transforms into a dance club beginning at 10 pm. I'd made a reservation for tonight, a few weeks ago, and forgot about it. When the restaurant sent me an email to confirm, I offered it up for date night to my buddy and he invited me along. Not preferring to sit home alone and let my imagination and/or angst run wild, I'll go out and be social. He said his date is something to behold. I offered to bring a 4th, one of SW's friends (I asked SW to arrange) but ultimately my buddy said it would be more fun without one of SW's friends along. Not sure what he means by that, I suppose I'll find out. So when the first friend requested by SW couldn't do it, I told her to let it go, that I'll just be the third wheel if that's how it works out.
A funny side note. These crazy crossovers happen only with SW. My buddy from lunch yesterday asked about SW and I mentioned her being out of town. We got to talking and somehow the subject of Mr. D came up. He asked more about Mr. D and the conversation led me to mention that Mr. D got together with a model chick shortly after splitting up with SW and they moved rather quickly to marriage and then they moved to the area where we now live. (You may recall that SW spent a couple of years in her hometown after the breakup, and then moved to NYC.) After a few years Mr. D and his wife split up and he went back to being the "big fish in the little pond" and remarried more appropriately, lived an appropriate lifestyle with appropriate children, etc. I mentioned the first name of his first wife and my friend then prompted me for her last name. I only know it because of SW's stalking Mr. D in a surreptitious way (okay, not stalking, but checking on him). She once asked me to find out if his ex- still lives around here.
Ugh, I'm dragging this out unnecessarily. 'Turns out, my buddy knows this ex-wife of Mr. D and is still in touch with her (he tried to date her but was unsuccessful, so he's in the "friend zone" now). He showed me recent picture of her and she looks marvelous. Mr D. knows how to pick 'em!
Not sure if or when I'll tell SW about this.
As for the date tomorrow with Mr. S, I want to keep a light touch on SW but do want to get some level of HW-husband satisfaction. So ('ll be asking her to send me images of her either getting ready, or full ready before she leaves the hotel to meet him. If she provides these, I'll share in the Hotties section.
