So after the WOD tonight... A few of us went out to the Yard house to have dinner and drinks for Katie's 24th.. Katie, Hillary, Chris G., and Erica H. had already been seated. I arrived a little late and brought Katie a large bouquet of yellow roses and flowers.
Well shortly after we all ordered our drinks and food; the waitress appeared with a bucket of champagne and a tray of glasses. She proceeded to tell us a gentlemen at the bar sent us the bottle, specifically for Hillary. A bottle of dom perignon!!!! Knowing bottles of Dom aren't cheap I was in shock. Dom at Yard House $170. (ps btw I was impressed the Yard House had Dom, I didn't think a place that prides themselves on tap beer would carry such an expensive bottle of bubbly.) The waitress proceeded to tell us that she was not allowed to let us know who the bottle was from..other then it was a gentlemen at the bar over her right shoulder.. So we all tried to sneek a peak at which person could have sent it over.. After dinner was served and we were all digging into our food, the waitress returned with a note from the generous stranger..


Originally when the waitress brought over the bottle she pointed at Hillary as the recipient. However after reading this note, we all realized it was intended for me. Seeing as I was the one who brought Katie a bouquet of flowers.  As soon as the waitress handed over the note she said he wants to buy you another drink, and take care of the ENTIRE TABLES DINNER TAB!!!! Um... yeah...by this point there were 7 of us!!! We were all in shock and asked the waitress if we were being punked.. she assured us we weren't and he was a very generous, kind man at the end of the bar who said he was from Switzerland..

Then the second note arrived with his business card...





After this note arrived I felt kind of guilty and wrote him a note back.. It was very polite and I expressed how we were all so very thankful, etc... However I was in a serious relationship and wouldn't feel right approaching him for an introduction.

At approx 9:30 Erica and Chris left, shortly after katie's male friend (i'm horrible with names) left. So it was myself, Katie, Rachelle and Hillary at the table. One of the guys from the end of the bar approached and began to explain that the generous guy sitting next to him was the one who sent over the bottle and paid for our dinner. He proceeded to explain that the guy was not a creep and was just very wealthy and wanted nothing more then to 'share the love', and to not be grossed out by him. His friend who was sitting next to him came over and backed up his story and tried to convince us we should come to the bar to say our 'Thank Yous'. Well before we could collaborate on a plan of escape; the generous gentleman approached our table. He introduced himself and explained that he saw me walking by with the flowers and was instantly attracted to me. YIKES!!! After a short moment of introductions we all moved up to the bar for a round of shots.. Um hello it was Katie's birthday and he was buying.. Once we sat down at the bar he, Kiran, began to explain his profession and informed us of his vast array of hobbies. Including driving a Ferrari F1 and other cart cars for fun! Not only did he boast about his wealth, he questioned my relationship status, and how soon I wanted to fly to Paris to enjoy a weekend of shopping. I objected and told him my passport is expired so he said "fine, how about a weekend in New York" again I tried to object and blame my ability to find a dog sitter. He asked what kind of dog I had, so I showed him a picture. The next picture in my gallery is my handgun, so I scrolled to that and said this is my hobby; thinking it would be a turn off and he would lose interest. WRONG! He then invited me to his residence in Houston to shoot some crazy militia and military style guns. I kept telling him "i'm sorry, but I am not sure how I would explain to my boyfriend why I would be gone for the weekend." (I don't currently have a BF) In typical guy fashion he told me 'well if I was your man you would have a very large diamond on at least one of your fingers..' Needless to say this back and forth went on until Katie and Hillary decided it was time to go.. THANK GOD!! I used them as my excuse to leave and we were out!

I've never had anyone purchase a $170 bottle of anything, or comp a parties bill, or proceed to write me notes sent over by the waitress. It was beyond an interesting night. Not only did I set a PR at the gym, but I set a few at the bar too.. LOL!
