Business in NJ or Interesting events.
I was in NJ all last week attending a training class. The training was 'ok' but what makes it worthwhile is that I get to see colleagues that I don't see frequently and meet people that I've only exchanged email with or spoken to during a conference call. We eat at nice places and have a lot of fun.
Tuesday night I had too much fun. I had five Kettle One martinis, straight up, and I was hurting the next day. After I had three at the restaurant we ate at I gave my car keys to a sales rep that wasn't drinking and had him drive my car back to the hotel. A bunch of us went to the bar and I started to chat with a woman seated next to me. Turns out she's married (no ring), has two kids, and gave me her card with her mobile number on it so that I could call her if "I didn't want to eat alone some night." I decided, even in my drunken state, that it would be a bad idea and after she left the bar heaved a sigh of relief.
Wednesday night I ate a light dinner and was in bed by 8pm.
We ate out Thursday night at a nice Italian restaurant and the hostess was very pretty. Since I made the reservation I checked in and after doing that told her that she was the prettiest hostess that I've seen during our week in NJ. She smiled and told me thank you and then proceeded to flirt with me by winking at me across the room and blowing me kisses.
I sent her the following note on a folded napkin and a little later she dropped the reply, with a flower folded inside, at my table.
After a few more winks and her touching me on the shoulder after she went by our table I sent the following and got this reply:
I'm sitting at a table with 11 other colleagues, both men and women, and all of them can't believe that this is going on. I decided to go for broke and sent the next missive and was shocked to get the following reply:
I decided to speak to her directly and she told me that she'd love to go out with me after she turns 21...in November! That means that she's younger than my son! LOLOLOL
It was a fun evening of flirting and she thanked me, prettily, for making it so much fun for her too as I walked out the door.
