Saturday, Sept. 21, 2002 - 9:04 p.m. Yeah, like I need to tell you this fact...� So, here�s how it breaks down: Late yesterday at work, Codeman calls me. He said he has figured out what he wants to do for my birthday (September the 24th-like I said last year- $10�s and $20�s always fit, and make the perfect gift!). He wants to take me out to dinner on Saturday night (that would be tonight). He knows I don�t want him to buy me anything, so he said that would be one thing I wouldn�t complain about him doing for me. I told him that I would think about it, but that I wanted to talk to his mom first. She said it was fine with her, but that I had to pay for the rest of dinner. I agreed to that, because I didn�t want him to spend too much and be broke for the next two weeks. Fine. So tonight rolls around. And Lease is taking forever to get ready. I was ready to go at 4 pm,since we kinda skipped lunch and that was when Codeman and Chelsea showed up from work (yeah, Codeman talked the vet into hiring his girlfriend to a job. Like they don�t see each other enough as it is�.wait, where was I? Oh yeah�). Lease kept telling me that she would be ready in justa few minutes. Fine! I just sat back and watched the Cincinnati/Ohio State football game. When the young�uns walked into the house, the score was Cincinnati 17-Ohio State 13. A good game (much better than the pathetic effort the Illini put up against the team from San Diego State today. Illinois was favored by 24 points. They lost 38-35. Pathetic!�Oh, were was I?), but nothing I wasn�t ready to blow off when the time came to leave. By the time Lease came down stairs, the score was Ohio State 22-Cincinnati 17. The Bearcats (Cin.) had the ball on the Ohio State 21, first and ten with less than a minute to go. Now, I was totally into the game at this point. You know, as a football fan, that all that was left was Cincinnati trying to throw a touchdown (they had no time outs left). This makes for great drama, if you are a football fan. So, while the ladies stood waiting to leave at the door, Codeman and I enjoyed all four pass attempts by the Bearcats (two should-have-been-touchdowns, one bad pass, and a final interception to end the game. I wanted the Bearcats to pull off the huge upset, too, but if you know me I didn�t have to tell you that, did I?). So, after a slight delay we were on our way. I let the Codeman drive. Why? Well, I had consumed a nice big vodka lemonade. Might have been the equivalent of two beers, for those keeping score. Any alcohol, I don�t drive. Not worth a DUI, not worth loosing my job. Period. So, as we were pulling into the parking lot of El Rancherito, I noticed something odd. Jules car was there. Lease pointed it out and said,�Hey, Jules is here! Cool!� But that was not all. I also noticed my sister�s Buick. And, isn�t that J-Rods car? Wasn�t he just at our house a few hours ago, saying he had a date and couldn�t go to dinner with us? Hum? By the time I saw my Dad�s car, I knew I had been had. Lease had gone ahead and planned a birthday dinner for me. Angie, Tyrone and their kids showed up minutes later, too. Yes, I asked her to not do that. She made a point of telling me she wanted nothing like that for her birthday back in August, and I agreed to her request if only she promised not to do anything for my birthday, too. Was I angry? Hell no! To totally fool me was pretty cool. How could I be mad if she planned all this without me figuring it out? Like I said- I am soooo clueless! One thing didn�t work out in Lease�s plan, though. The batteries were near dead in the digital camera, so she didn�t get many photos at the restaurant. As a matter of fact, what was shot (before the death of the rechargeable Eveready�s) was over-exposed, and didn�t contain me. Now, if Codeman had know, he could have charged the batteries or slipped in a set of alkaline batteries. But he didn�t know. So, for once I don�t have pics of something to post here. Sorry. So, no pictures of the dinner. Oh well, life goes on�. Remind me tomorrow to tell y�all about my massive headache at the high school football game last night. Bad? I though I was going to pass out walking to the Hillbilly truck. No kiddin�! I was planning on writing about the painful evening last night, but something else today came up���
