The "A GAYS" Are Coming, The "A GAYS" Are Coming!

And not in a good way either my friends.

Just minutes after I finished wishing everyone a Happy Weekend on Friday morning, I get a call from a good friend in the Big City. He told me that my new cool friend's father passed away overnight.

The friend and his father don't get to see each other that much, but when he came down to visit me for our date last week, he also saw his parents, who happen to live nearby.

Knowing that a lot of church people would be down (new cool friend is the music leader), I offered the bearer of bad news and anyone else, to stay at my apartment if they needed.

I get a call a few hours later from another church member, who I met briefly once or twice, asking if he and another couple could spend the night Sunday evening.

Of course, I said yes, and then realized...these three men are cool new music leader friend's BFF! In fact, they are pretty wealthy, established, "A GAYS" (investment bankers, multiple business owners, etc)...who were already asking CNMLF about me and when they'd get to know me more, etc etc., as a way of checking up on me.

Not only do I have to make a good impression on these people, but I also have to have a spotless apartment. I'm usually a neat person, but the fine details like dusting and sweeping and cleaning every nook and cranny isn't something I do.

I spent the last day scrubbing and polishing and sweeping and dusting and cleaning...now I'm worried I smell like cleanser, furniture polish, and Windex. Better than sewage I guess.

I have a few hours before they'll arrive. I'm thinking we'll only be here a short time before heading to the visitation, but then we'll do dinner (I'm NOT COOKING...Lord knows I can't take any more stress)...and chit chat for the rest of the evening. Worse yet, the funeral isn't until mid afternoon, so I have a whole morning of entertaining these guys.

I'm also dog sitting for Gal Pal, since she went to the Big City without me.

As for cool new music leader friend person...I talked to him a few times the last few days to say hey and let him know I'm thinking about his family. He seems to be holding up well considering, but it's unusual because he's an extremely emotional person. He's the one who had to stop singing at church earlier this year, because he started crying, and Sarah turned to me and said, "Can this church get any gayer?"

It may be a few days before I can post again, but you can bet I'll be blogging about the invasion of the "A GAYS"...

Till then...

Smooches,
"W"

You sound like an amazing friend...but, of course, that doesn't surprise me at all. I have to say, though, that I'm really not into classifying the gays (nor anyone else) into lists by letter name.....it rarely crosses my mind. I'm sure you and your apartment were neat as a pin. Andyou have yet to email me and tell me what church. Inquiring minds want to know. Don't forget to listen to the Jimmi and Dan Variety Cast when it comes out later today or tomorrow (Dan Nation).

Lol...I can picture you running through your place, hands in the air, screaming "The A-Gays are coming! The A-Gays are coming!" in much the same way I scream "My in-laws are coming! My in-laws are coming!" as I frantically scramble to clean the shit out of my house so they don't think I'm a streelish, lazy wife...
