Eddie Izzard was a RIOT!
I laughed so hard I actually *hurt* by the end of the night!!!!!
One minor hiccup — I left my house and forgot the tickets!
Yep… that right.. me.. Ms. “I never forget anything” got 10 miles from home and suddenly realized that the tickets were sitting on my desk at home.
I blame Ranger *giggle* because he had asked me what time the show was the night before. Sooooo…I had taken the tickets out of my computer case (where they have resided since MARCH) to look up the time. They never made it back into my case. Then, before I left for Rangers house, he called to remind me to bring an “overnight bag” since I was spending the night. “ummm. yeah, babe.. I got that.. don’t worry.. I don’t forget things!”
Opps! ha..ha.ha… had to eat those words just a little bit later, didn’t I? 
I get to his house and he shows me his new car!
Yeah… he called me Monday to inform me that he was driving his new Toyota Corolla home. WHAT?? Wow.. I knew he had been talking about getting a new car (reference another post on that one) but it was so.. so.. SUDDEN!
He is now the proud owner of a 2007 (I think) Toyota Corolla!
Cute!
We chat and cuddle a little bit and then head over to Longhorn to meet Haywood and his “date”.
After arriving early, we both agree that we are starving!! So we sit at the bar and share of plate of Wild West Shrimp. He has a beer and I have a Mojito… oooo.. I loves me a Mojito! 
Haywood arrives with his “date” — who actually turns out to be an old friend of his who is passing through town on her way to a cousin’s wedding. She’s from Texas, a 6th grade school teacher and she’s a sweetie. We got along spendidly.
Oh… and she was wearing almost the EXACT SAME dress that I had thought about wearing that night. The only difference was hers had blue sparkles and mine was silver. I teased her about that and we had a good laugh over the “near fashion mishap!”
Me?? I was wearing a white mini-skirt with a blue criss-cross blouse that showed LOTS of cleavage (Ranger loves that) AND… my Marc Jacob shoes!
Trust me.. the shoes MADE the whole outfit! hee…hee…… A girl ALWAYS feels sexy when wearing $300 shoes!
We have a lovely dinner and with some time to kill, head over to wander around Circuit City where Ranger, Haywood and Teach proceed to impress me with their “Wii” bowling skills… well…actually only Teach impressed me. James and Ranger sucked! *snort!*
Then - it was off to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center for the show of my lifetime!!!
As Ranger and I were walking into the building (hand and hand I might add.. awww..) I saw a cluster of girls to my right. One of the young women looked me up and down and then said to her friends “Shoes!“, in an excited whisper, causing the other 3 ladies to turn and stare. As we walked by, I heard the same woman say “those are AWESOME!” so of course I HAD to stop and talk to her about the shoes. hee..hee…
God I LOVE those shoes!!!
Every woman should have at least one pair of horribly expensive shoes, don’t you think!
Haywood, Teach and I had a great time at the show.
Sadly, it was *not* Rangers cup of tea.
He actually wound up dozing through a large portion of the show — amazing considering the place was packed and FILLED with laughter!
I felt really bad for him… I had wanted to show him some of Eddie’s standup, so he would understand the background and references but he insisted on going in “cold” and that backfired horribly for him.
I give Ranger credit though… he didn’t complain or make a fuss or do anything to overtly ruin MY fun for the night. He was very stoic about it all, and there *were* some parts that he laughed at (mostly references to monkeys and guns..ha..ha..).
The rest of the evening is for “behind closed doors” aka — not for public consumption. .hee…hee… but suffice it to say — I probably woke up Rangers brother at one point. HA! 
Morning — this morning that is — dawned cloudy and dull and I was whole heartedly enjoying my “sleep in” time at his house.
He made coffee AND fixed me breakfast.. yummy, yummy!
And we sat outside on the deck, chatting and sipping hot java… ahhhh.. bliss!
I wasn’t due into the office until 1pm because I had taken a 1/2 day off… I’m tricky that way!
BUT — that was sadly NOT to be.
I got a phone call from the office at 9:45 and they were in a PANIC!
The main server was not powering up…. and w/o the main server our company was a sinking ship in a hard storm.
sigh….
After a few minutes of trouble shooting, I realized that I was going to have to leave this domestic bliss scenario and RUSH to the office to fix the server.
Yeah…. I hadn’t showered yet…I had no make up on…my hair was mussed…I was a mess!
All the same — I threw my things together and was out the door like a flash… leaving a slightly flustered and shocked Ranger behind.
You see— the minute I realized I was going to have to drive like a bat out of hell to my office — my morning was RUINED!!!
And…my mind was already in “tech mode” - meaning I was already diagnosing the problem in my head and going through the step by step process I would need to cover to get the issue solved and have our company back up and running.
This puts me in a very “focused and intense” mood… Ranger interpretted it as “MAD AS HELL” as I later learned…
Opps! No sweetie….that wasn’t it…sorry!
So, my lovely morning was SHOT to HELL and I won’t be seeing Ranger until next Thursday, because he is no longer on vacation as of today and goes back to work for his 6 day rotation!
Not exactly the way I wanted to spend our last few moments together…sigh….
Sometimes…it really SUX to be the “Office Goddess”
Cheers,
kitty
p.s. — yes, I got the server problem solved, but it’s “jimmy rigged” right now. I’m going to have to work this weekend to replace things and get it all back up to 100% capability! how fun…not!
