Serendipity... or One Door Closes and Another Opens

So last weekend I was supposed to have a play date with one of my favorite Men. How I met him, I'll tell you another time. All you need to know is that he couldn't show this past weekend.

I was bummed. Especially since everything was so well set up.

Then to top things off, I got an email on Friday afternoon telling me I was going to have to go out of town next week, but they weren't sure which day. Sometimes I really hate being at the whim of the client so much. It really, really sucks.

So I put my travel bag together, not even knowing exactly where I was going. Isn't it great when the higher ups want you to be at their beck and call but can't be bothered to give you the whole story about things?

Old white men! G-d.

So I was not in a good mood on Monday when I got into work. He handed me a file and told me that I needed to be in Jacksonville, FL, for the client. So I called the dear hubby and told him he'd be on his own the next few days with the kids.

Now I've been to Jacksonville a few times. Its ok, but its Florida. I do not do well in Florida. Its too flat. I know, weird, but thats part of my problem. So its been hot and sticky here. I don't enjoy that. Neither does my hair.

So I get in on Monday night late and basically just crash in my room with the A/C blasting. The next day I go and deal with stuff for the client. Its long, its boring.

I needed a drink.

So I went to this bar and grill not far from the restaurant. They had a game on, so I just had drinks and starters at the bar. Yes, I'm really that bad of an eater when I'm away from home. Its like I give myself a pass for everything I deny myself eating.

And a couple of guys stuck around at the bar. Two of them were these gorgeous Black Men. And I started to talk with them when they couldn't get the answer to the sports trivia question right. They were late 20's guys who worked in town. They weren't just hot looking, they were smart too. G-d... that can be such a turn on with younger guys. They weren't just "we're in a bar, lets see your tits" types. (Don't get me wrong, sometimes I like those guys).

So we shared some drinks. Some food.

And then they were getting this look on their face like they were trying to figure out which one was going to give in and here about it at work the next day from his friend. They'd already seen my wedding ring and it didn't even cause them to bat an eye. I'd already texted dear hubby during a run to the ladies, and he sent back a "go for it". So as the game ended, I had them lean in and told them....

"Sometimes 3 is not a crowd."

Unfortunately, only one of them was brave enough to come back. He was a lot of fun. I love how young guys don't tire and don't seem to get enough.

Everyone at the meeting the next day noticed that my mood had significantly improved.
