Have ya heard that song yet? “Famous in a Small Town” by Miranda Lambert… Great song… Cheap Sweet Wine is one of those kinda people. We are trying to take advantage of the few months we have living in the same town by getting together once a week at a local restaurant for drinks and dinner… well… we WERE sitting in the restaurant the first few weeks.
Then she comes and tells me that she’s found this great bar at another restaurant where they have $1 Margaritas on Thursdays… well, you can guess where Mom’s Night Out was last week.
I’ve never sat at the bar… at a table in the bar area when the rest of the restaurant was full, yeah… but not AT THE BAR for the purposes of dinner and a drink… or two… Man, have I been missing OUT. Here are some of the highlights of the evening…
CSW has this habit of setting her phone to vibrate and tucking it between her thighs when in a noisy place and went to do that at the bar.
S&D: Is it on vibrate?
CSW: Oops! (changes ring setting) Don’t wanna miss THAT!
In reaction to some comment (probably angelic) from me…
CSW: I swallowed that WHOLE thanks to you!
So we’ve ordered our first Margaritas, CSW’s is on the rocks, mine is frozen. We’re discussing the merits, why’s and wheretofore’s behind our choices and CSW says she thinks you can get drunk faster if it is on the rocks. We decide to ask the bartenders when one comes back by…
Brandon the Bartender: “You get drunk faster on the rocks – unless you get off on a brain freeze…”
Further discussion of the Margaritas brings up the one CSW had last week… remember? The one with the really yummy rim?
CSW: (licks the rim of her Margarita glass) Nope, doesn’t taste like last week’s… Next time Tim comes, I’m gonna tell him about the lime rim.
CSW’s husband texted her a couple times during the evening. After she had responded to him once…
CSW: (puts the phone back between her thighs) Let’s put it back here and see what happens!
[May I add that S&D said, and I quote: Your problem is that you don't have it high enough! --Cheap Sweet Wine]
As these little bloggable bits keep popping up in the course of really rather normal conversation … ok, normal for us and really NOTHING that should be ending up in these rather risque one liners… we discussed who does the majority of the writing here…
S&D: (said defensively) I can write, I just don’t usually…
CSW: Last week you were begging me to do it!
Sitting at the bar gives you a good view of the ‘drink makings’ lined up at the back and you hear the orders of other patrons etc. As someone was getting a shot of something, gee, was that us? I asked CSW if she’d ever had a B52 (layered drink of Kahlua, Irish Cream, and Grand Marnier that tastes like chocolate).
She said no, so I asked TimandBrandon to make her one. She looks at this layered shot when they sat it down in front of her and asked me how to drink it. It was a pretty big shot glass so I’m explaining that she really needs to get all the layers in her mouth to get the full flavor…
CSW: You want me to take all of this in my mouth and swish it? I’m not sure I can take it all in!
We had a seriously good time, lots of laughter, some serious moments, and the bartenders seemed amused.
S&D: Man, you’re gonna have a reputation around here at this rate… I won’t, I’m moving!
CSW: I only have a reputation at the town’s football games!
S&D: It’s like the song… Everyone Dies Famous in a Small Town…
CSW: What song is that, I haven’t heard it…
S&D: You’re LIVING it honey!
