The birthday BBQ bash went great!!!
As usual we cooked enough food for a small army, even though there were only 6 people. You know, the usual barbecue fare: Dogs, sausages, steakburgers, potato salad, chicken, ribs.
Why? because it's all about the leftovers.
The usual suspects showed up: Simple-ass Mom, geriatric pimp Dad, crazy-ass Wayne brought Oronde (who cut her hair
extremely short, but it looks really good on her). We missed Allen, who wasn't feeling well.
I brought Jen. (needle skips here)
I was petrified. I don't usually bring the women I date around my family. Especially not the ones I've been this sprung on before.
Truth be told, I've never been THIS sprung on anybody before. That's A LOT of crazy to handle all at once and we've only gone out three times before this. Even though they're very accepting, I still had no idea how they would react.
Everybody loved her. And I do mean EVERYBODY. That made me so happy. She brought some brownies for everyone which sealed the deal even further. We sat, we ate, we talked shit all night. This is what we do. Jen fit right in. She is officially a member of the tribe. I think she had a good time. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday.
I was surprised that nobody was drinking. Mom and Jen had a couple of glasses of wine each, but that was it. I bought a damn case of Yeungling Lager and a sixer of Corona, because I know that's what Jen likes. Nobody (myself included) touched any of it.
So I've get plenty of cold beers if anybody wants to come over! :)
