so i had an interesting time at the st. pat's parade in belmar yesterday! kerry and i went and hung out at Pat's Tavern to see Joe Finn... and met a red-headed boy (again)
in the meantime, we scarfed down some corned beef sammiches...
pretty, huh?
okay... so after seeing the traditional "drunk guy" almost pass out at 4pm... and the obligatory piper...
i spotted a redhead. you know that i was swooning. a red head wearing shamrock sunglasses and a #3 notre dame football jersey... we were singing... and flirting... then we started talking...
um... as it turns out... um... we dated about 3 years ago. i knew there was something about him that was my "type"... it was a blind date thing - we dated about 3 times - then he fell off the face of the earth...
okay - so apparently, back then, he had gotten back together with an ex-girlfriend... so we're talking and he's all like "i screwed up once, but i'd like to see you again"
i said "i feel the same way... that you screwed up, but i would like to see you again, too."
okay - fast forward to a little later - kerry left - redheaded boy's (RHB™) friends left, so i was left alone with him in the bar where i proceeded to try and beat him at darts. i only lost by a point - that killed me, but he was impressed (3 years ago i had trounced him in darts...)
red headed boy and me at edgar's
okay - so drunk girl (me...) goes into the ladies' room with her cell phone... had to call my mom since she was my ride - although the RHB™ wanted to "show me his house" (he has an apartment in hoboken and just bought a house in manasquan (my hometown!!!!!)
so on the phone with mom... i guess i may have been slurring - i didn't ask her to pick me up - and my phone went dead - damned signal.
yadda yadda yadda - about 30 minutes later the RHB™ and i were still yapping, drinking and a little kissyfacin' and the bartender comes over... says "that lady at the other side of the bar would like to buy the two of you a drink"
i go pale. it can mean only one thing.
MOM IS IN THE BAR.
eff.
the RHB™ was really sweet about it. turning on the charm to mom and holding my hand to calm me down since i was mortified...
long story short... mom drove him home - i got to see the outside of his house... it's nice... he's going to florida this week to see his folks, but says he wants to see me again. so that's cool.
so, we'll see what transpires :)
