1. First and foremost. Happy Birthday edotlouise!!!! I hope you have the best day ever. Dr. Nelson better treat you like a princess...but doesn't he every day? :) I'm missing my married friends and I'm happy to know they (Yes, even Dr. Nelson!!!) are missing me too. Wish I was there to celebrate with you my precious ange!
2. This story I mentioned but I've yet to discuss on the ol' bloggy. So the weekend before I came home for the holidays I went out to dinner with the Roomie. Just the two of us. We decided to have a night of eating and movie watching. The weekend prior I had a celebratory weekend...a legit celebratory weekend. You can ask Berns, we woke up more than one day that weekend to what looked like a murder scene in my apartment. I'll spare you the details but we (for lack of a better word) raged. So for that night out with the Roomie I vowed to make it home early.
That lasted all of about 30 minutes. So we head to dinner. Roomie starts texting an old friend who was in town. He and a group of his friends show up where we were eating. As they walk in I make eye-contact with a guy in his group. I automatically think...
Haha yeah. At that moment, random cute guy became CHS graduate of '05...and I was CHS graduate '06. Dang. So we get to talking. I'm thinking this is totally bizarre. He's lived in the Big City for almost six years. We start trying to figure out who the other was...you know based on our high school friend groups. So I tell him
I'm sorry, who are you? Contrary to your twisted beliefs...you weren't (aren't) as popular as you think you are. So I let that roll off. We decide to all hang out...you know all these old and new friends united. We head to an apartment across the street from mine. We lasted there all of 20 minutes before we were asked to leave...noise violation. Being the fun people that we are, the roomie and I invited everyone over to our place before heading to the bar. So all nine (keep that number in mind) of us head over to our place. We all get on the (same) elevator. Having a great time until we get to floor 10...2 floors away from mine...when the elevator stops. Stops moving. Stuck. All nine of us.
Surprisingly...I don't freak out. Roomie not so much. We call 911...you know...from the elevator. We follow their directions...all trying to stay calm. One dude starts FREAKING out...like banging his head on the wall, pounding his fist on the door, screaming (bloody freaking murder), cursing every blasted person trapped inside...freaking out. The boys had to tame him. I told him I had no problem absolutely killing him inside those walls...and if you know me...I was being completely serious. Cheers.
So nearly 40 minutes later we were freed from the confines of that elevator. Nine firefighters...and the Chief of Fire (would that be his title?) came to free us. I've never been so happy to breathe clean air. So that happened. It was special.
Had my Landshark...was good to go.
Most hostile man on this planet.
Hello Chief of Fire. I have no shame in telling you I kissed this man...as well as the other nine.
3. I got to see my Jenty this past weekend. My oh my. I needed it and didn't even know it. I haven't had one on one time with her since before graduation. I've seen her twice since May. Once for lunch in July and once for a 20 minute jaunt back at Thanksgiving. That's just not enough.
As soon as she got in my car it was like we had gone right back to Oxford. Cruising down the streets. Not a care in the word. It felt so comfortable. Seeing her meant I got to meet the boy I've heard about for the last...6 months or so. She smiles like I've never seen when she talks about him...just beaming. As soon as he walked in we hugged. A big hug. Me and this boy I'd never met...but it felt like we had known each other for 100 years. It really did. And he looked at her. With the sweetest eyes I've ever seen. So much adoration. And it made me feel good. This boy. That I've heard so much about. That makes her the happiest I've seen. He looked at her in such a special way. And at that moment I knew why I'd heard so much about him. He is lucky. But so is she.
4. Snow. I am currently trapped here in the South in the "Snowpocalypse" of 2011. Or as my friend Stephen Colbert said, "The Weather of Northern Aggression". Yeah I'm down here in it. The schools have been out for two days. No bread, milk, eggs, or (as my family found out) Cheddar Sour Cream and Onion chips to be found. I found out today that the Big City was out of class today too...which scares me because I can only imagine how bad it must be there. Selfishly, I didn't want it to snow here. I know it will stick around the Midwest until February...I'm ready for like 78 degrees. That would be amazing. No more snow please.
5. Family bonding. I can tell you Black Swan is not the movie you want to see if you want to "bond" with your family. We went today. Geez. We had been warned but Boosin REALLY wanted to go. We left out the whole this-is-a-ballerina-movie when we invited Daddy to come along. I spent half the movie with my eyes closed. I know my father wanted to jab his own jaw out with a nail file after it was over. My mother has serenaded us with scores from the film...as well as performed some of the Black Swan choreography. We're proud of her. Then the Poodle got to sit by our father while Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman got it on...and you know...the other stuff. Excellent it is. Family bonding it is not.
6. The Wheel. This week...on the 13th. My buddy will be on Wheel of Fortune. Check him out. The gingerman. I have no doubt he will do really well.
I warned you. Lots of random stuff.
