Allow me to be kinda sappy right now.
On the way home tonight Derrick and I passed by some of those orange cones that the city or construction crews use. I said, "Hey, you want a cone?" He said, "Sure." and grabbed one as we walked by.
Well that moment brought back a memory from way back. It is probably the whole female thing as to why I even remember this or even ever registered the original moment at all, but whatever the whole scene brought back a really cool memory.
It made me remember the first time Derrick and I had an unspoken conversation. It also was one of the few times we agreed, but that is besides the point. So anyways the scene went like this...
I was driving up Los Carneros towards the 101, we were heading through the intersection of Hollister and up ahead there were orange cones slowly curving into Los Carneros in order to make everyone merge to the left. There was no one behind me so I slowed down and came to a stop next to one of the first cones in the street. Derrick opened up the passenger door, grabbed the cone, shut the door, I hit the gas and we drove off. No words were shared about the orange cone and the taking of that cone until after I was turning onto the on ramp of the 101. I don't actually remember where we were going, but we did bring the cone back to the Abrego House (it lasted maybe a week).
Yeah, mushy I know, but the memory just struck me tonight while walking home.
Then tonight when we got into my place I went straight to the bathroom. The cats were all meowing and while I am in the bathroom Derrick yells out, "Middle or third?" (Just a quick note, the cats actually have three dinners, don't ask, don't tease, yes I know they are spoiled) I yell out, "Third", and by the time I get out of the bathroom the cats are eating... and there is a orange cone sitting in my kitchen.
The combination of all of that (and possibly a few drinks) is the reason you are reading a really sappy blog right now.
Cheers :-)
PS While writing this Derrick's drunk ass passed out and is snoring on my couch right now. Awww friends. :)

I love how you're mushy posts are about stealing construction pylons. I'm not sure how, but I think that's very fitting.
Regardless, you're absolutely right. We hardly have to talk out loud at all anymore, huh? ;-)
...and that is a good thing, in more ways than one. ;-)
