Shmuckette!

OUCH! I took a male friend out for a surprise birthday dinner-- this is a man that has saved my behind now for a long time, fixed the broken thing-a-jiggy, repaired what the repair man screwed up, takes me out when he needs an escort (not that kind) to nice wine tastings etc.... and he is going through a rough time. So I thought, lets take him out for a few simple tastes, some wine and a tasting of gelato at a restaurant I have never been to.
When was the last time you were in a restaurant that did not take debit or credit cards? (They had the expensive cash machine sitting there so you could spend 10.00 to make a withdrawal though!)
I went to pay, and like many of us, and most girls, I carry almost no cash!
He stepped in and paid for his own birthday after work wine and dessert!
OUCH! My pride, my ego, my all of the rest of those words is broken, battered. I am embarrassed humiliated and pissed right off!
Well Happy Birthday------- and thanks for saving my ass again!
Now, I still owe you- I guess I will pay you back after you fix that broken slat on the deck!
OY!!!! This from a woman who insists she does not need a man!
