Nothing exciting has happened in this Atlanta blogger's life. Eharmony continues to be my main connection to the outside world. It is hard sometimes, for me to believe that life exists beyond Marta, Hurt Plaza and home. Like, really strange that there is anything other than that. Oh, and Oz's place, but that is a thing of the past. Or so I thought. More on that later.
Yesterday I had dinner at The Brick Store Pub, in Decatur. My friend's niece who is 22 and just graduated from Clemson just moved to Atlanta about 3 weeks ago. So I've been trying to help her find a job and such, so we went to dinner to just kind of get out of the house and whatever. I had gone to BSP once before, when I had been searching for an apartment before I moved to HotPants. It was lunch and everyone was super nice and had suggestions about where I should live. Dinner was pretty good as well. We had to wait almost an hour, after we were told 30 minutes, but it was a Friday night and I know I like to linger over many beers on a Friday night after a hella long week. We split the shepherd's daughter's pie and pierogi primavera. Delicious!! It was quite good. The portions are not huge, which is fine for me because I do not eat lots all at once, but if you were a huge dude, you might want to get a starter as well.
I love that they have a vast selection of beers and I love the inviting, dark, cozy ambiance. And the upstairs bar area is all nice and cozy and wooden everything. It is very charming. I wish it was closer to where I live now, because I would for sure make it my regular watering hole. There is no such place near me. If you're looking for a nice first or second or third date place, especially as it gets a wee bit cooler, I would highly recommend The Brick Store Pub. You can get all nice and cozy there. They even have Framboise in peach and raspberry.
Okay, okay, I've been stalling. Oz! He has been missing me, so we got together on Friday night. He was up to his usual antics, but it was a completely platonic get together and I had mentioned that I was going to go run errands Saturday morning. On Saturday morning, he asked how I was going to run errands and of course, I mentioned ZipCar. I had to explain what it was. And how I got to/from said cars. After he had put some laundry in the washer, I walked into the kitchen and he asked, "So, what if you used my car to run errands?" I was pretty sure he didn't want me driving his BMW 330i, so I said (after a long pause, staring at the ground because I didn't want to seem too excited), "Well, that would be really nice but I don't want to be a nuisance." He assured I wouldn't be, and he had errands to run at a few of the same places too, so...off we went.
Lesson of the day: it doesn't pay to be nosy. While we were at Nordstrom, picking up my tailoring, he sat in a chair and immediately whipped out his text machine (aka cell phone). It appeared he was texting a...gasp!...girl!!??? I realized how heartbroken I was, reminded myself that he was with me at that moment and hey, wasn't I still eHarmonizing? Yeah...so... Still, it was amazing how my heart seized up on me and totally gave me away. We grabbed lunch at Tin Roof as it was about 2 ish or something and we were both getting a little cranky from not having eaten.
Long story short: We had a great day, he helped me drop some things off at my apartment, saw my mess (slightly embarrassed as he is a neat freak!), but I blamed it on still unpacking (6 weeks later). It was another completely platonic day and I just absolutely adored him all day. He is definitely high maintenance and used to being spoiled, but crazy me, I love spoiling my loved one.
And, that's a wrap! Nothing more going on here this weekend, except I may finally reserve a ZipCar to go to CarMax and see what's up there. Just another slllooowww weekend in HotPants
