Home Again, Home Again

Sorry for not posting in a while; I just got back from my wonderful weekend in Baton Rouge.

Here's the weekend in a nutshell:

Friday: Left for BR, drove almost entirely in the rain. Arrived at Andy's in the early afternoon, where he awaited me in a very clean apartment. We went out to lunch (drink number 1), drove around, took a nap, went out to dinner/Sushi, came home, watched DVDs and went to sleep.

Saturday: Woke up, ate bagels, he worked in his office while I went to the mall (and then locking my keys in my car), waited outside while AAA took almost 2 hours to get there, calmed my anxieties down with a manicure/pedicure, went back to the apartment, went out to lunch (drink number 2) Andy told me he wanted to do something really nice for me, so he got us tickets to go see a play that both of us had been wanting to see for a while! So we dressed up (we both clean up very well) and went off to the theatre. Before the show started, he took me to a lovely rooftop restaurant/bar in Baton Rouge - Tsunami. We got drinks (drink number 3) and he took me onto the roof terrace, where I my mouth just dropped - that was the best view of Baton Rouge I have ever seen. Truly, it was a wonderful evening. After the play ("Goin' to Jackson" by Jamie Wax), we went to a bar with his friends (drink numbers 4 and 5)

Sunday: Woke up, I worked on my screenplay while he did more school stuff, then we went to Lafayette to his brother's place for Father's Day (drink numbers 6 and 7). We had a very good talk on the way back to Baton Rouge, and when we got back he did more work stuff while I was a bum on the couch. Went to bed.

Monday: I was supposed to leave, but before I could I get a phone call from my mom and sister - Houston is flooded and it is not advisable to come home. Geez. I was packed, in my car, we said our goodbyes... but I stayed another day. I managed to get in 7 miles (2 running, 5 walking because my dumbass went at noon and it was sunny and I'm burnt to slight crisp on my shoulders). Met up with Andy after work and I worked on my screenplay that evening.

Tuesday: Left BR at 6:30am, arrived home at 10:45. I didn't stop, and I did get into some funky weather, but I'm safe and sound.

I had a great time with one of my favorite people. I don't get to spend a great deal of time with him (not as much as I'd like to), so I try to enjoy what we have when we have it, since one can never tell the future.

But, now I'm back home and back to reality. My mail and my laundry pile reminds me of that.

Cheers!
