One post before I leave work, that is. Yes, the mini vacation is over and I'm back in the office. It was a wonderful Christmas and B got everything she wanted! I even got some really great and unexpected gifts as well. Ready to ring in the New Year.
Glad we're all still here for it.
Anyway, just after my last post, I have to tell you all that I met someone new. HAHA .... yeah. It's not like that, just friends, but it's pretty funny how we met.
Last Friday, the 21st was a bike night. Last one of the year. Though, the weather had been bad all week, so it was super iffy for the bike cruise. My friend that's in charge of the cruise had been away visiting family, but kept checking on the weather for our night. Text messages, fb messages, postings on the invite page were going back and forth, back and forth to see if the cruise was on or not. I, myself had not decided to ride until just a couple hours before the scheduled meet up. My ride hadn't been sure either until the night before, so we made a tentative plan to meet at his place in town, and then go from there.
Just as I was about to get ready, I check the invite page on fb again. CANCELLED! One of my friends in charge posted that the ride was off due to heavy winds and wet roads.
Aww ... But, wait! Just before that message, I had a comment posted on my "...is going" post. I read it and it's from a guy that I don't recall meeting at any of the bike nights. He asks when I was leaving ... like we were good, old friends. So, I reply "in about an hour." He seemed harmless and I thought I HAD met him before at one of the rides. SO, I get an instant message, and it's him. Let's call him J.
We chat for a bit, talking about how iffy the ride is and wondered if it was going on or not. So, right after it was cancelled, I get a text from my friend that cancelled the ride. "Some of us are still going to ride if you're down." I think, hell yeah! So, I tell J that it's on and we should get ready. I ask for a ride, since I found out that he lives about a minute away. He agrees and gives me directions to his house.
Now, I don't remember meeting this guy ... and I'm not even sure if I ever did. But, he rides with my friends, so I figure I'd chance it.
Glad I did. He's a really cool, fun guy and he's a very experienced rider. I was instantly comfortable on the back of his bike and we've been talking and getting to know each other since last Friday. For me, it's on a "just friends" basis. I think it is for him, too. Though, he has been trying to hang out with me every night since then. I think that's cute.
He gave me a ride to work this morning, and when he returns from his trip in a few weeks ... I'll get to go on a Saturday ride!! First time and I'm stoked! Turns, turns, turns!!
So much more to write about, but I need to get home ... later, readers.
