Great Date

Tonight I can truly say I had a great date.

It began when I brainstormed of things to do. I had decided that I needed to go to my new apartment complex to finish some details, then I wanted to go out to dinner and a movie. I asked this one fella if he'd like to join me and he said yes. It really was not that surprizing as he also likes to go out.

So, surprizingly enough he indulged me through the apartment part, playing at the pool table in the clubhouse. When I finished my business, he challenged me to a game of shuffleboard. Since neither of us knew how to play, this proved amusing yet slightly fruitless. Needless to say, it was a tie. Then, as we stopped at the strip mall where the restaurant was located, he indulged me once again as I went into a little furniture store looking for some miscellaneous funiture. Guy in a furniture store?.... this is special. At dinner, he kindly picked out a table and allowed me to be served first. And then, after dinner, we headed to the movies where we shared a popcorn and soda, he carried the popcorn and me the soda.

It was a low pressure fun night with lots of smiles and laughs and I hope to be able to repeat it again very soon.

Yup, a great night.

Who is the special guy? Well, let me tell you he's a very smart guy with tons of personality. He's the kind of guy that doesn't take no for an answer easily.... sometimes to his deficit. His smile and laughter are contagious and, when he holds my hand all I can do is smile. And when he hugs you, he practically squeezes you to death.

The bad side.....he doesn't pay for anything.

It's ok though....because he's only 6 and I am his mom.

The restaurant - Chuck E Cheese. The movie - A Night at the Museum

A night out with my son. Best night of my week.
