Friday Recap -- Out at the Pub and Back Home

[kybearfuzz]

Yesterday went pretty well, got an amazing amount of work done and still took off early. A co-worker, Miss Republican, and I decided to go to the Pub, an Irish pub, for a beer and lunch. We both took the rest of the day off.

Now that the election is done, she and I get along much better, provided we don't discuss politics. During lunch, she and I talked about our dating lives and what not. When reminiscing about college, she came to tell me about her college roommate who ended up coming out to her as a lesbian. She'd known the girl since grade school and she said it made no difference to her. Maybe it was the beer or just a bit of realization that she's more liberal than she lets on, but I told her my orientation as well. And strangely, she wasn't that surprised. She said she never really gave it any thought because it doesn't matter to her. Wow, she's smarter than I thought originally. She even bought me lunch. Very impressed.

I drove to Corbin from there, three hours on the road. My iPod certainly makes that journey more fun. Later, I went to see Mom and she showed me the quilt she had been making from my tee-shirts. I was bowled over. It was so strange to see the last 10 years of my life incorporated onto a quilt. It's amazing and I couldn't help staring at it. I almost cried and hugged my mom, she's the best. It's sadly not finished yet, but I'll post pics when Mom gets it done.

Well, I'm off to see what mischief I can get into today.

What a great gift from your mom! She really is something special. It's those gifts from the heart that mean the most!

I've already decided that it's an item I'd rush back into my burning house for! :)
