Lesson Learned
Well well lesson learned big time by this ol’ girl. After our “fight” the other night and me valiantly
fighting my instincts of throwing a hissy fit and being an uber-bitch I managed
to stick to my “feelings” words courtesy Rory Raye and boy did it every pay
off.
After the last text exchange, Peabody and I didn’t talk
about Monday night. I did text him a simple good night but that was it till the
next morning. About 7:45 he texted me
like normal and I responded and then he blew up my phone for the next few hours
texting me. Apparently he’d been doing a
little research and found a music festival for this weekend he wanted to take
me to out of the blue. Note, from the
time we started talking Tuesday morning I acted completely normal. I had
processed my hurt feelings and let it go and I was not on a mission to make him
feel bad or guilty or anything.
After a couple hours of texting and working he called me at
work, very out of the ordinary, to make sure it was ok for me to be gone this
weekend from the family (Friday is the 3rd anniversary of my dad’s
death). I assured him it was and that I’d
already asked my mom about it.
The rest of the day was busy with work and right before the
end of the day he called me again to chat. I just had just been talking about
him and told him so and he groaned and said, “Oh God if you’re talking about me
after last night it can’t be good.” I
laughed and assured him it was all good.
He immediately apologized for “screwing it up” the night
before and I told him it was all fine and good.
He asked if he could take me out to dinner and I said I’d give him a
call when I got done with work. When I
got to Peabody’s we jumped in his truck and he said he was taking me to one of
his favorite places and he was glad we were both dressed up from work still because
it was a nice place.
He started filling me in on details of this music festival
and how he’s gotten us VIP access and it’s basically going to be an all
inclusive trip and that he’s not inviting anyone to go with us because he
thought we could use some time just us together (awwww). We ended up eating dinner at this fabulous Italian
place in a nearby town and it was SO good. We had this pumpkin gnocchi
appetizer that I swear I’d have eaten off the floor because it was just that
good!
All through dinner he was trying so hard to make it up the
night before it was just too funny. We
laughed and talked for like three hours there and I found out lots of new things
about him! At one point in the night the
wine has loosened my tongue a bit and I asked him if he thought I was going to
be mean to him all day and he said, “I was sure hoping you weren’t but I
figured I deserved it.”
After dinner very spontaneously he took me to his office to
show me around and introduced me to a couple co-workers who were working
late. Then we headed back to his house
where we lounged around and he insisted I wear his clothes because I didn’t
have anything else with me and he wanted me to be comfortable. This was all followed by some very lovely,
hot make up sex too that wound up with him playing with my hair and rubbing my
back till I fell asleep!
So lesson learned, don’t be a bitch – unless they really
really deserve it!

PS - Tonight Duckie
and I are taking the kids trick or treating in his neighborhood. My sister invited
us to go with them to a friend’s neighborhood that happened to be the very same
neighborhood where Peabody’s ex wife lives.
My how fun is small town life… Thankfully neither Duckie nor I really
wanted to turn it into a big production so we opted to stay in his
neighborhood. So if you’re following the story that means that Duckie and
Peabody will actually meet tonight unless the kids wear out before we get to
his door.
PPS – A couple weeks ago I made the decision to take some
money out of my 401k and I paid off my credit cards today! For the first time
in my adult life I have no credit card debt.
How freaking awesome!
