Life has been a little crazy in the pool of late. So, in order to alleviate the stress, DH and I decided to take the opportunity to have dinner out while the kids were away, skiing. So, I called my cousin (who we've been trying to get together with for the last two months) and we set the date.
We met them in Oakmont at the Chelsea Grille. The food selections were awesome, and we started with appetizers, moving on to the scrumptious dinner and a lot of great conversation. When the check came, DH reached into his pocket and glanced at me, horrified.
Ready for it?
"I left my wallet in my other pants."
This has never happened, not in two years of dating and the ensuing 31 years of marriage. I couldn't help it. When would I ever get another chance?
Smirking, I said, "Likely story. Oldest trick in the book."
"No, no!" he cried. "I really did! I brought my work I.D instead of my wallet." (it is a large thing)
I couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, I did bring mine, and we didn't have to wash dishes before going home. It was a lovely dinner, by the way, and we left with a bag filled with leftovers to take for lunches, along with some delightful treats from the Oakmont Bakery. Yum.
So, the stress pool remains open for business as usual. If you're ever in the mind to stop by and share your stress, there's always a spot for you on the edge!
