Oh, how the late nights at work drag when the daylight starts to dwindle....and there is nothing to do.
Just a couple more notes.....had been planning another camping trip that W and D had both shown interest in. D is having trouble getting the time off, and W who showed some interest early on was balking because she would need to take another day off from work. I understand really, as her and D are going to a concert the week before and both will miss a day. Either way, I had planned on going, alone again or since there is more time asking someone else to come along....had a couple of options.
But.....fast forward to the birthday party on Saturday. Wife had told her brother about me going alone last time and he said if I ever wanted to go call him...and then her uncle spoke up, and then a couple we have been out with in years. Next thing you know, we have 6 or 8 people all wanting to come along on the weekend I had planned.
Does wife want to come along now? Of course, and that ticked me off a bit, and I busted her chops about that a little that night. She was going to back out on me, but now it sounds like a good idea to her?
Oh well, not another word. She actually thought of another couple to ask along, and sounds excited about it.
Should be a great time, if not a little crazy with the group that is going. The weather could go either way, so that will be interesting, and I am hoping at least a few carry through and they were not just blowing smoke at the party.
I figure it will be another couple of weeks of talking, planning and looking forward to something for me and W, and although we have been camping together ourselves, never with any of these guys......another chance for her to see how I have changed in my interactions with other people, and once again, to see just how "different" we are from the couples that we know.
Our camping is just like the dinners and crazy stuff we do at home....good food, good drink...music, fun and fire....no hot dogs and light beer for us.
