Pioneer Day Celebration
My timing is impeccable, as usual. After I submitted my last column about suffering through the Twilight Concert Series at the Gallivan, the advertising manager for the newspaper asked if I would sit at our sponsored booth there. He hadn’t yet read my column. Obviously. I agreed but took RLO along as a buffer, just in case.
The concert was much more enjoyable in the safety of a booth with chairs and free wine. It was also nice to meet some of our readers and see my friend Michael.
After the concert RLO and I headed over to Liberty Park for the firework display. Crossing the busy street, I was just about to stupidly walk into oncoming traffic when RLO grabbed my arm and stopped me. What he should have done is pushed me further into the street.
After all the grief I give that boy online (and offline) he had every right to push me in front of that speeding car. But I’m sure glad he didn’t.
After my heart slowed down I remembered a comment he said to me last week, “Sarah, given the choice I’d rather have you alive than dead.” At the time I laughed and told him it was the best compliment I’d ever received. Now I know it wasn’t meant as a compliment, it was a true statement. Diamonds aren’t a girl’s best friend… RLO is.
This made me “awwww” outloud…
Wow. Tell me Sarah, how do I get my “boys” to read this and apply it to me?
Ditto what Nugget said.
I, too, did an out loud aww!
I always thought a girls best friend was chocolate…
It’s because he loves you. Get on with it already and date and marry the boy. It’s obvious to everyone else why don’t you see it?
VeRiLy, my hOmOsexuaL fRiends thROw me intO OncOming tRaffic On a daiLy basis! WouLd that we aLL had RLOs. But aLas, my scOOteR Remains unassembLed, my aRse sits upOn nO mOtORcycLe, I have nO buffeR fROm MichaeL, and my bOnes have been cRushed by vehicLes faR tOO many a time :-(.
We should all be so lucky as to have an RLO!
Sarah…..
You really are such a shit. And funny as hell! (In reference to your comment….and every other thing I’ve seen you write). Keep the laughs coming.
Gosh, he sounds perfect. I want an RLO.
What a great friend, I want one too!
If I had a person like him in my life, he would be very well taken care of in every aspect.
Seriously, we all need that kind of friend.
Give him a hug. And, if he is every lacking in the female friend portion of his life, can always come my way.
Take care.
I can’t type… ugh
Please forgive the grammer and typos…. Sorry.
Beaches
I finally met RLO!
