An update on all things Megan.
As some of you know last week I went to San Jose on business. From a business point of view it went as well as could be expected and we (my company) have a good chance to gain 2 new accounts out of the deal.
From Megan's point of view it was a fantastic trip!
It went like this. Tuesday afternoon I gather up Megan's things and the necessary DRAB for the trip. I selected an outfit along with wig, shoes, make up etc. Wednesday morning I was up at the crack of dawn... I'd slept well in-spite of the fact I was very excited (I'd never taken Megan on a trip before). I packed up my laptop and needed business paperwork and was off to the airport. I checked my bag of clothes as luggage. I didn't like the possibility explaining the contents of my carry-on to the TSA staff. And I so was off to SJ.
At this point I still didn't have a dinner companion and I had a little trepidation as to how the evening was going to play out. I had heard from Roberta Fermina from the forum who lives in the area but she had a scheduling conflict.... but gave her my number just in-case. I was a little down because of this........... as she and I have had some e-mail talk over the past months and I was looking forward to seeing her as we seem to be kindred spirits.
Well I arrived at SJ no problem, got my bag no problem and was off to the rental car place. While on line at the rental car place I got a call from a number I didn't recognize just as I stepped up to the counter and ignored it to deal with the agent instead. She was cute and upgraded me to a blue convertible Mustang after I had admired her ear rings. COOL!
Got in car and checked the phone message. It was Roberta saying that her schedule had cleared and we were on for dinner!! YAHOO!! We would meet at Carla's Boutique, shop a bit and then off to dinner.
I took care of my Wednesday business and got to my hotel about 2:30..Parked my car right next to the stairwell so I could slip in & out with little fan fair. I settled in, relaxed a bit, got out my things for the evening and talked with Roberta to finalize details. She was running behind and we would meet about 5:30. At 3:45 it was into the shower, shaved and started the assembly! One small problem, I had forgotten the small lighted make up mirror I use... well the room has 3 mirrors so I'll work through this or so I thought. Easier said than done...The lamp light was poor at the desk, there was no light by the hall mirror and the mirror in the bathroom was florescent, bright as hell and hooked in with a bathroom fan that sounded like I was inside the engine of a 747!!
Well it took a while but at about 5:00 I was ready. Second problem I'm hungry as hell I was to excited and forget to eat lunch!! Oh well .........Checked my purse, again and out the door.. down one flight to the car. Check my face in the visor mirror (hey, I looked good!) and I was off.
Now my blood sugar was so low and my nervous excitement was so high that my foot was trembling on the accelerator. Add to that I was dealing with a muscle car in a strange town in 5pm rush hour traffic, I'm not to sure my directions and I'm fully dressed!! ... Well you can imagine I was right on the tattered edge. I headed off 3 miles in the wrong direction and had to back track.... my estimated 20 minute drive took 55 minutes due to rush hour traffic. But after the first 20 minutes my nervousness had subsided and my driving auto pilot had kicked in. But all was OK as Roberta called and said she to was behind and would be there by 6:15.
I arrived at Carla's... they closed at 6 pm so I waited in the car. 10 minutes later Roberta pulled up. I was anxious to see what Roberta would look like in person. She was stunning! Lovely velvet dress, great shoes, hair and make-up the works. She has such an air of confidence about her. I stepped out of my muscle car to give her a full look. I'm sure she wanted to see what I looked like too. We chatted a minute and then we were off to this great Italian Restaurant.
The service was wonderful... no one even looked twice, not the staff, not the other customers, no one! The food was superb. And the conversation was fantastic!! I now know the true meaning of "Girl Talk". We covered all topics...life, love, marriage, jobs, carriers, wives, children... the entire gambit. It was wonderful!!
After what seemed like hours we paid our check and stepped out into the night air. We had discussed possibly hitting a club but my long day was catching up with me and I had an early meeting in the morning. We settled for a walk down the street and a couple of photos to memorialize our evening. I drove her back to her car and we said our goodbyes. I got back to my hotel, got ready for bed, slipped into a green satin nightgown and slipped off into dreamland.
It was one special night for the history books.
God is great!
