The Double X Weekend
Monday, February 13, 2006
So, everyone knows that soft-core porn is rated X, and hardcore gets XXX. Hey, stop pretending like you didn't know, we both know you don't ONLY use that computer for reading blogs. Anyway, apparently XX, though there was a good amount of poking, is neither softish nor hardish nor anything in between. It included more shopping than anything. :O)
My Ex, Runt, from South Carolina came up to visit for a 3 day weekend. For those of you who asked, she's called Runt because she's all of 4'11" or as she'd say "5 foot on a good day." She flew in Thursday and we just chilled around The Condo then wandered over to a local bar and had a couple drinks. Friday I gave her a tour of work, then we went to a Swarm (Indoor Professional Lacrosse) game in downtown St. Paul, then out for a few drinks after the game. Gotta chat with some of the players and also saw Lotus Girl at the bar as well.
Saturday is when it went from Ex to XX. I had talked with Conservative Girl and mentioned that Runt and I would probably hit IKEA and the Mall of America and she would be welcome if she wants to go. We all met up at IKEA, ate some meatballs(Except for Runt, who I think is so short because she's so incredibly picky about food) and I finally exchanged the chair that was coming apart. I also got a really nice shelving set-up for the office. Oh and CG got a plant. She said she would deem it a successful purchase if it survived for more than two weeks. Lets just say neither of her thumbs really have any tinge of green.
Next stop was across the street to the biggest mall in the U.S. basically for one reason: Rum Truffles. Chocolate, mixed with rum and coated with more chocolate. Overheard from Runt this weekend "I don't care what we do this weekend, I'm on Vaca. We will be going to the Mall to get me my rum truffles though." Apparently no where in SC has good truffles and the ones imported from the Biltmore Estate in NC sucked compared to the ones at the MOA. So, she got her truffle fix, had a chocogasm or two, then we wandered the MOA of a few more hours till CG had to go out on a date.
During the shopping excursion though, there was much, much poking. HEY! I told you, this is not X or XXX, get your mind back out of the gutter. Now, both Runt and CG are absurdly ticklish. By that I mean instead of the Pillsbury Dough Boy, give a poke, get a "hee hee" (Or, well, other noises) type thing, it more like make anything resembling a poking motion in their general direction cringing, guarding, crumpling and usually some squealing of illegible phrases usually including something anti-poking. You know you couldn't resist that either. yeah, there was definitely a poke or two. Or 384.
On the way back to The Condo, G-Spot called and asked what we were up to and since our plan included two things: nothing and next to nothing, we decided to all meet up for some Thai food. We hung out, chatted for a while and then headed over to this newer place called Babalu. They wanted $10 for cover, and none of us really wanted to spend that to hang out for like 1 hour. G-spot filled out an application since they're hiring and she's a teacher and would actually like to have some money to spend.
Afterward we parted ways and Runt and I mosied on down to this tiny little bar near a place I used to live. The name of the bar is The Spot and it's a one room (not counting bathrooms) little shack of a place. It's the typical neighborhood bar, not much for variety, but great prices and the atmosphere is totally friendly. Closed the place down, headed home, watched I, Robot and then crashed.
Sunday Runt had to head back so I dropped her off at the airport about noonish. It was totally fun getting to hang out with her again after several years. I'm glad she was able to make the trip!
CG came over soon after I got back so we could exchange hostages (she had the large parts of the shelving units in her SUV and I had her plant) and she hung out to watch some movies, eat Thai leftovers and build the shelving units. The Office looks pretty sweet now, I'll have to get some new pictures up for all of you.
So yeah, it was a little depressing here and there since it was fun to hang out with Runt again, but that wasn't going to last, and then CG talking about her dates and my realizing that I have none and I won't even have someone to hang out with tomorrow. But overall it was a really fun weekend.
Now, if only I had been able to add that third X... ;O) hehe
Happy Monday all, keep slackin'.
