My weekend recap

All I can say is wow!

This weekend the Parkersburg Aerie Eagles hosted the WV State Eagles Convention. There were folks visiting from all over this great state. And of course, after being installed at the new Worthy President, I had to make sure I represented my office well this weekend. I think I did, and I was told I did.

It all started out on Thursday night. This is when most of the 'delegates' or folks form others Aerie's made the trip to Parkersburg. I didn't drink 'much' that night, if only for the fact that I had worked all day and I knew I had to be back at 10:00 am for the opening ceremonies. Lucky, I was able to move my off day around and take Friday off.

On Friday morning we had our opening ceremony, where the VFW came and present our flag. We also heard from the Parkersbur Fire Cheif, the Wood County Sherrif, and the WV State Auditor. I'll admit that at this point of the day I was kind of uneasy. There probably wasn't 5 people in the room within 20 years of my age.

Our official duties ended around 3:00 and I rushed home to get a nap in before the men's dinner at 6:00. Man was that fun!!! Open bar from 6:00-6:30 followed by grilled ribeyes. Here's where my comfort level began to return to normal. These guys were impressed that we had a young guy that was willing to step up and help out in his club. They were actually excited to see it!

After the dinner we all retired to the social room where everyone drank to our hearts desire. At 11:00 Chris and I retired to the 'hospitality' room at the Knight's Inn where there was another open bar from 11:00-1:00. Man, can these 'seniors' drink! lol

I made it home around 1:30 Saturday morning, only to get back up at 8:30 in time to get decked out in my 'Sunday's' best and get back to the club by 9:30 for another meeting. This one wasn't as long and I was on my way out the door around 2:00.

I went striat back home for some more R&R, only to return to the club by 5:00 for the joint dinner at 6:00. Here's where I laid eyes on a very sexy girl at the bar on my way into the banquet room. I jokingly mentioned to one the the bartenders that I wanted her name and number! More on this later...

The banquet went well, but a little drawn out. This person, thanking that person, this person, wishing this person well, etc. I couldn't get up and leave. I had my office to uphold.

The banquet ended by 7:30 and we all headed to the bar for more drinking (do you see the pattern here?). When I got to the bar, the bartender I was speaking to earlier said "Hey - that lady over there wants to meet our President". That lady was none other than that very sexy girl that was sitting at the bar earlier! I could not beleive it! How could she want to meet me??? ;-?

She had a few 'older' men hanging around her for most of the evening. I never felt comfortable enough to go up and talk to her. While I was making my rounds introducing myself to the 'delegates' and guests, she walked up behind my and introduced herself! I loved that!

Well, once that I found out that the 'older' men were her mom's boyfriend and family friends, I spent the rest of my evening over there talking with her and getting to know her. She has to rank in my top 3 most b-e-a-utiful women I've ever had a chance to talk to - at least in my 'are-we-interested' state of mind.

Alright, no more about her - I'll just leave it at this - I'm going to Fairmont this weekend to take this girl out! SMOKING!!! ;-)

Today I once again had to make it up to the club to say my good-byes to all the vistors and 'delegates'. I think I made it home around 1 or so and immediately took a 2 hour nap. When I woke up I headed to town to pick up some supplies and Big Red texted me and told me not to eat dinner, that Brian was picking up steaks to grill out and wanted me to come over and swim.

I got over there aorund 5:30, swam for a few hours, at a kick-butt steak, then watched episode 2 of season 2 of True Blood!!! OH YEAH baby! Bring this new season on! I absolutely love this show!

So now that I've typed all of this out (and no doubtedly bored you to death) I'm sitting here nodding off to sleep.

Good night all and thanks again for reading!!!

Take care!

I LOVE MY LIFE
