Although I went out with MJ on Thursday, I wasn't sure where she was in the meeting until really Saturday. On Friday we bantered up and back simulating the idea of getting married, but instead of using a JP to do the ceremony, I suggested the local president of my Block Watch group. We could then have a block wide barbecue to celebrate, inviting a few close friends and choose rings from our own personal collections and afterwards, after we have been together for a time and one of us wants something from the other, we just yell "get it yourself" proving the marital bond. MJ fully agreed, but just like a woman changed everything all around and pretty soon we were holding our ceremony somewhere on the Beeline highway in front of a billboard advertising Viagra, so as to set a certain romantic mood.
I really wasn't sure how MJ felt about me until Saturday morning when she called me up and invited me out to either choose matching wedding rings or go to a movie. I replied that I wasn't interested in either, but would like to have dinner with her. She agreed and we were off.... MJ agreed to let me pick her up at her new home in the Arcadia area of Phoenix. She only bought the place 4 weeks ago and it was already whipped into shape with all new windows and doors and a fresh paint job. She has 2 little dogs, Tilly and Rex and Rex has bitten several of her suitor, but for some reason took a liking to me. I was ready to donate a few ounces of blood to Rex, but he surprised me by immediately bonding and tonight he was actually sitting on my lap, but I'll get to that. MJ's house was great and it has all new appliances and granite counter tops. She took me on a tour of her home and I counted 3 flat screened HD TV's including the one in the living room that is a full 72 inches. MJ is a football fan and holds season tickets to the Cardinal games.
Dinner was great, we tried a place I haven't been to in a long time, Tutti Santi's on 64th Street. From there we went back to my house for MJ to meet the Dynamic Duo, who took an immediate liking to her. We talked and listened to music and I drove her home around 12. We were driving down Tatum in Paradise Valley and the city council was nice enough to snap our picture. They think of everything and I'm sure they'll be sending a copy of that picture to my home real soon. I sure hope I wasn't going too fast for them to capture our likenesses. I drove home with the cruise control set to a firm 42 MPH, not wanting anymore pictures.
Sunday morning rolled around, I knew it would and around 10 AM, MJ called and was at of all places, Costco. Who knew she shopped at Costco? She invited me over to watch a movie and have dinner. She didn't really invite me over for dinner, but we were both pretty hungry and guess what restaurant was close by? My favorite Chinese Restaurant. It's only about 20 blocks from her house. Who would have thought??? MJ told me she really liked her food and was glad I showed the place and then paid the check. Then it was back to watch the movie. Although I sat in front of the movie for about 2 solid hours, my mind was in a totally different place. I looked over to MJ and asked her if she had a crush on me. She looked at me rather puzzled and replied, "I never really thought about it, but I guess I do. I took my profile down from the dating service, I must"!
MJ has a long day on Monday and will probably not get home until after 7, so I took my leave after a quick kiss goodnight and concentrated on not getting my picture taken again...
