Ambassador sash

Skiwi and I share a common love: the library. We love all things Dewey; however, like all who have experienced love, we have a favorite: the CDs. He is currently in possession of Animal by KE$HA and we were listening to it while DDDG was making us dinner. DDDG’s birthday is in May and they are planning a trip to New York City to celebrate. While DDDG slaved away in the kitchen (it isn’t her birthday yet), Skiwi and I were talking great NYC restaurants and activities.  As we discussed great places to visit, I suggested that the two of them join us in the Hamptons in August. “I really like that idea. We can play track eight while there,” Skiwi told me while flashing a sly smile and holding up the KE$HA CD case. “Party at a Rich Dude’s House? Perfect!” I replied.

While KE$HA Tik Tok’ed, so did the clock. We had finished dinner and were eating dessert when DDDG began telling me about Skiwi’s love for the hazelnut cookie. “I made him coffee for breakfast and went to get a couple of cookies only to find he had already eaten the entire center row,” she told me. Skilled at the art of distraction (most likely the result of a good library read), Skiwi replied, “And she makes a fine cup of coffee. As good as, if not better than, that served at Cambria Suites.” “Well that is good to hear,” I stated and added, “It will definitely help with her dream of becoming a barista.” “Yeah,” said Skiwi, “Except most people like their coffee in the morning.” “Whatever,” said DDDG. “I know, I know,” I comforted her and added, “Luckily you and I share the same definition of ‘morning.'”

A few minutes later I was in their basement purchasing cosmetic products while Skiwi tooled around in the back room. As DDDG and I were talking prices, Skiwi stepped up to the counter and asked, “What are you two going on about?” I looked at him with the intent of providing an honest response and then saw why he was pretending to be so interested. He was donning his royal blue Ambassador sash courtesy, per say – it cost his company $20, of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. He is so proud of this sash and has told me about it on more than one occasion. I attempted to take a picture of him and he bolted out of the room. DDDG missed the entire incident and couldn’t understand why I was laughing so hard and why Skiwi was so blushy. “What?” asked Skiwi as he returned to the room sans sash, “What’s so funny? I’m just like KE$HA, I stand for fun.” “Me too,” I replied, “The party don’t start ’til I walk in. Where’s my Ambassador sash?”
