Why do those words of Billy Joel's "Captain Jack" come to mind.
..."It's saturday Night and you've got a date!"
I have - I have a real, live date.
We've coffee'd a few times. had a few lunches and a couple of "NoStrings, Early Home" dinners. We've kissed.
Tonight we're going to a show and then coffee at her place, which is way nearer the theatre than mine. I'm picking her up from there at 7:00
And I think maybe ther are a multitude of string attached this time. And we're both mentally gluing more. I know I am.
We're both mature women. We both know how the world works ......
Yet I have never been so nervous - well, maybe since I literally wet myself walking down the path when I was marrying Dean (22 years ago! - I did! My bladder leaked a tiny bit when I got about half way. Everyone in the family knows - its no secret)
Also, the normal dynamics at home are completely reversed. Normally its Mum pacing around at home waiting for daughter to get home hoping to God the boy she's with isn't having his wicked way.
At my house tonite its my two daughters wondering. I've told them I might be late, and my dearest babies have started humming "Mummy's gonna get Laid, Mummy's having seeeeexxx" - They're 17 and 19 so they aren't exactly naive!!!
But I am so nervous, which is why I'm here - I have to tell, to let off steam.
And the Saintly colours won the Caulfield Cup today at about 10:1. I think my odds of breaking the drought at less than Evens!
