Dear Diary.... Your gonna love this one..
Now, Diary.. You know my luck with the opposite sex is so bad that it constitues a joke... The worst of the worst seem to find me.. Drunks..Flakes..Addicts..Psychopaths..Single moms with half a dozen kids...Sometimes all of the above..
Anywhoo.. I went out for dinner last night.. Nothing special.. Same old usual place.. Same old usual waitress that's been giving me the eye for a while now... Last week, she passed along her # on the back of the bill, all decorated with little hearts and smiley faces and a little note, "call me sometime"...... She's not really what I'm looking for in a potential mate, but she seemed kinda nice.. kinda quiet too.. I figured i'd hang onto her # and maybe we'd go have lunch sometime, just for ****s and giggles...
Back to last night.......The place was just dead... Aside from the staff, there were'nt but 4 other souls in the place... I sit at my usual spot at the bar, iced tea sitting there waiting for me before my butt hits the seat... The waitress in question comes over and we exchange the "Hey! how are ya?".... So me being the smart-*** that I am, I ask her, "SO?.. You been staying out of trouble?"... At that point she cocked her head a bit and looked at me kind of funny for a few seconds and says "yup, I'm being a good girl"..
After a little bit more conversation she says "It seems like I know you from somewhere else, other than here".. I said "well, anything's possible.. I've lived here forever".. She walks over to the soda fountain a few feet away and while she's pouring a coke for someone, she asks me "do you go to?"........................"umm,nah, nevermind".. She took the coke to the table in the back, then returned a few minutes later...
We talked a little more here and there during the course of my dinner, mostly commenting on what's on the TV... I finished up, had another glass of tea while she brought the bill over.. She pops the bill down and says "I swear I know you from somewhere else"..............."Do you go to meetings?".....
Now having dealt with a drunk GF for the majority of last year, I can't rip on somebody for being a recovering alcoholic.. That takes alot of guts to admit when you have a problem, and I gave her thumbs-up for doing so...
But to ask someone you barely know, and obviously want to get to know better, "do you go to meetings?"..... e-gad...
