• Recycling – Dinner with Tarras Family

  Today I took a small boatload of cans to the recycling guy behind the peacock market and left with almost $50. That money will be helpful for my last little trip for a while, I’m going down to Santa Barbara to see some of my friends graduate from Brooks.
  
  This afternoon as I was gathering up my family’s supply of recyclable metals when around 3pm or so I got a call from work, they wanted to know if I would be able to come into work tonight from 5pm till 1am. I was thrilled because that would have meant $60 extra on this next paycheck so I enthusiastically said yes. About 15 minutes later Tarra called and asked if I wanted to eat dinner with her family tonight and in a near panic I had to call work back and tell them that I wouldn’t be able to come in to work because of a commitment that I had forgotten about, luckily they let me off the hook and so the great adventure of dinner with Tarras family began. I ran out to the store to get frosting for the cake and my little sister started baking a tasty cake for me to bring to the dinner, I also picked up one of my favorite bottles of wine to bring along as well. Having dinner with Tarras Grandaunt, Mother, and older sister was really important to me. I’m really starting to look at my relationship with Tarra as something that’s going to be more long term with more and more commitment required of me, things like having dinner with her family are be coming more important to me because they represent small steps of commitment in my relationship with Tarra. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only man alive that gets excited by the idea of a long-term stable loving relationship. All feelings and symbolism aside, the dinner was fun and the tacos were quite tasty. I think not next week but the week after I should cook dinner for Tarra’s family, I can make a mean roast or some tasty ribs
