What was that, dear?
February 18, 2009 | We Are Family
On Sunday night, my mom watched Clark and SB and I went out on a date. The plan was to see Slumdog Millionaire and go out for dinner, but of course, it took us longer than we thought to get out the door, feed him once more when we got to Grandmas, etc. But since we missed the movie, we decided to go out for dinner and then go back to our house and DO IT instead. Heh Heh.
We went to Stanley’s and sat in the bar. Lovely Tacoma was spread out all twinkly below, I was drinking a cocktail, and no one required anything of me. SB and I kept giggling a little every now and then because we were going to DO IT later. All was right with the world.
SB and I had already discussed by this point that we were pretty sure our waitress was high. She was friendly, but super spacey, and we needed to ask for everything twice. We weren’t in a hurry, though, so it was all good. She had just brought me my second drink when she goes…
Stoned Waitress: Are you a model?
Me: No! (blushing while desperately trying to swallow food and smile)
Stoned Waitress: Really? Because you have, like, perfect features.
Me: Thank you! (food is now swallowed, though I’m sure there’s something in my teeth)
Stoned Waitress: Do people tell you that all the time?
Me: No…(laughing uncomfortably, but smiling really big. Everyone loves a compliment)
She walked away and I turned back to SB, sitting up a little straighter, about to take back the mocking I’d done about her baked-ness, when SB made a tragic mistake.
SB: (Snort) She’s totally just trying to save her tip.
Me: (silence)
Me: You are such as asshole. Someone pays me a compliment and you say she just wants a tip?
SB: (silence while realization dawns)
SB: Please still have sex with me! (back pedal back pedal back pedal)
Uh huh. That’s what I thought. Jerk.

Yeah, uh, WRONG RESPONSE! (his, not hers of course)
You do have perfect features.

Awesome!
Uh, yea. I’m still waiting to see that movie. I do believe it’s been about 8 months since I’ve seen one.

yeah, very awesome. I hope you still did it, though.

Erik has to back pedal in our relationship all the time. If Aaron were smart he would have just agreed with her.
Slum Dog doesn’t even come out here until the 26th.
P.S. You do have perfect features, and you should be a model.

Haha! Great story, Jenny. We totally discuss plans to DO IT later, too. Ah, marriage. Guys just don’t understand us sometimes. Stoner waitress doesn’t care about tips, she cares about speaking the truth, which is evidently what she was doing.
I had great intentions to see all (well, almost all) the Oscar nominated films before they came out, but alas, I still haven’t seen Slumdog, Milk, Doubt, The Reader, or the Wrestler. My votes will only be based off of The Visitor (good film btw), Revolutionary Road, and Rachel Getting Married. Lame, I know.
Anyway, Brian’s coming to Seattle next week for business (just a really short trip) but I’m SUPER jealous because if I weren’t packing and moving us I’d be able to go with him and pop in for a visit.
I can’t wait to meet Clark sometime soon…

Danny’s pretty good about not making bonehead comments, but he still never gets any these days…. ;^)

You know I was thinking this morning that you should definetly triple save this post and present it to Clark when he decides to partner up some day as a “what not to say”

Husbands. Can’t live with them, can’t… nah, I got nothing.

Ahhh, thanks for the great laugh!

All men are different, but somehow, they are all the same…

At the rish of not getting laid myself this evening, I got to stick with SB on this one.
Alt perspectus; He was wanting to show you a good time and was getting all distracted by the stoned waitress. Clarification: her service not her body. The movie had already tanked and dinner was in danger of coming across luke warm. You both don’t get out very often and he wanted everything to be perfect. Any guy is going to be geared toward FIXING the situation. Especially since you all had promised sex to each other.
Case in point: married people should not promise each other sex. It always ends in a disappointment.
Everyone knows you have perfect features, Jenny. Especially SB.
hliv says I do this all the time. That’s kind of harsh. Sometimes it seems like you ladies should all just marry each other.
But then, if you all did that, no one’s getting laid so we’re back to Mars and Venus. It’s vicious.
Keep these coming, Jenny. Your blog is so sweet! Good stuff.

This made me laugh outloud SO loud.
My handsome partner in crime has been known to say such tragic thoughts outloud from time to time. While it can be so…annoying it is also a tiny bit endearing.

sizzle: I promise I wasn’t fishing for compliments, but thank you!
Amy: Yeah. We have seen zero of the Oscar nominated films. ZERO.
Jenny: We did.
hliv: oh stop.
sarah: I know, right?
Kelly T: You’re welcome! Thanks for commenting!
Camille: Totes.
e: Thanks for the compliments and for suporting SB. You poor abused men need to stick together!
dahli: Yes, I know. I knew I had him right wherre I wanted him.
