Strawberry Milkshake Anyone??

Just a quick note before I head off to bed. I took a shift of work tonite for the waitress...somewhat begrudgingly. I had an essay that I have yet to get started on and tonite was supposed to be my night to work on it. Alas, I ended up working...and I definitely think that it was in His plan...once again!

Ran into Richard again...well actually he stopped in at the restaurant. I hadn't seen him in about...a week or so and I was quite surprised to see him again! Just out of SHEER coincidence...our usual dishwasher had finished his last shift on friday...and as of Monday, I would have been the official dishwasher. God really does work in myseterious ways...i mean...seriously...who woulda thought that Rich would show up at such a PERFECT time!

So he comes in...but this time...he's got other plans. He tells me he needs my help to figure out a RESUME!!! You don't know HOW happy I was when I heard what he told me next...he had been out and about in the Fairview mall area (in kitchener) and talked to the manager/owner at the Molly Bloom's out there. The manager (Sam was his name...he even got a business card!!) asked Richard to create a resume and fax it to him ASAP!!

So we worked on that all nite...and at the end of that, Rich was able to help me with the dishes and I was able to help him with a meal and some cash. We said our goodbyes after enjoying a nice meal and excellent conversation together (He's a TOTAL joker by the way! it's so jokes juss chattin' with him! =) )and I asked him if he could come back tomorrow nite for the dishes again. I'll be seeing him again at 8:45pm inside Grand China ;o)

Funny thing was...when he left...I told him I was gonna stick around the restaurant and just study for a couple hours (MCAT FUN-NESS!!) and he was cool with that. Here comes the really amazing part...not more than 45 minutes later...he comes back knockin' on the restaurant door...as I approach to open the door for him, i see a BUCKET of STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM in his hands!

"LET'S MAKE SHAKES!!!" he said with a child like sense of excitement!! I asked him what he was doing and he was just like:

"Well i figured i wouldn't get enough money to crash at the House of friendship tonite,aaand...I was hot...so i bought some ice cream! When i realized how MUCh there was..i thought of you...sittin' here writin' that stupid test and thought you might want to have some too! now...you got any MILK?!"

The next half hour was spent digging up any and ALL the ingredients we could think of to make this shake the SUPER SHAKE! and BOY was it ever the SUPER SHAKE!! *droool* Started with Strawberry shortcake ice-cream...added some fresh mangos...a bit of crushed ice cubes...chocolate syrup...and to top it all off...some sweet sweet Fortune COOKIE CRUMBLES...*DROOOOL*

so that was that...a night where i could've just sat at home...writing my essay...I ended up sharing an AMAZING shake...with an even more amazing guy...thanks Rich!
