Nervous Nelly was so much fun! My
hard work could be paying off. This whole online thing is a numbers game and a
crap shoot and I have been improving my odds tremendously by simply not giving
up. I walk up to Dave and Busters and he’s actually cute, yay! We sit down and
start talking like we've known each other for years, double yay! We totally got
a long during the initial meet and greet interview session. We were being
people watched by a couple sitting next to us who bet that we were on a first
date. Ha, they totally called us out, next thing we knew they sent over a round
of drinks called “Love potion number 9” and we ended up exchange numbers. I
went on a date and scored another chic’s number. I let him beat me at all kinds
of games and we had some good wholesome fun.
This is the first time in a while I don't have to talk myself into going
out with him again, that's huge!
We stayed out pretty late so the
next day I suffered through work and then off to Atlanta I went. Got to
Christine’s about 930pm and had a house full of people waiting on me. Such an
awesome feeling to come walk into a living room full of my old pals. Christine
put out a spread of food and Patti surprised me by showing up when she told me
she couldn't be there. I love surprises! Alicia, Elisabeth, Josh, Burrell, Jim
and Seth all made it such a fun night.
Saturday was a whirlwind of course.
I did not follow through with my plan to not book every hour of the day. This
time I utilized my time management skills a little better and made it happen
somehow. I managed to not go missing and actually made it to breakfast with
Sarah. We had a perfect time, lots of laughs and took up this table for hours
catching up on everything. I scored some hand-me-down makeup and a breakfast,
free food and used lipsticks is my kind of Christmas! That was the last time
her and I will have our breakfast date at Goldberg’s since she is moving. I am
glad I decided to show up this time. Thanks for the memories girl!
After a landslide of coffee, I head
out to my next appointments. Pedicure, rotated the tires, met my Hudson girls
for lunch, stopped by to see Gary/Jake and then back to Christine’s to get
ready for the wedding. My good friend LilSteph finally tied the knot with a boy
she met on EHarmony. Sure glad I drove all the way to Atlanta to see the last
15 seconds of the wedding. Yep, true to form, I totally got lost and ended up
at Six Flags when I was supposed to be in downtown Atlanta. (my GPS is so
fired). I managed to quietly sneak in the back row, sat down, they said
"You may kiss the bride" I stood back up, clapped and jumped back in
the car for another 20 minute trip to the reception.
When I got there I had a reality
check, yep I was all by myself. I know a fair amount of people from a distance
but definitely didn’t have any sidekicks to pal around with like I normally do.
So I walked around aimlessly asking random people if I could hang out with
them. I cornered her parents a couple of times, but they didn't really want to
spend all night talking to the loner. I think my hormones got the better of me
since I ended up crying way more than I do at funerals. I cried during their
entrance, during the first dance, during all four toasts and a little when I
sat at the kids table for dinner. I was the unstable girl in the corner acting
like I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness for the newlyweds. LilSteph
looked beautiful, her family was awesome and the party was sure to not
disappoint. Too bad I had to leave before it got started. But it was 930 and my
next appointment was waiting patiently for me at the pub down the road. It was Marybeth’s birthday weekend and I couldn’t
wait to see her. We got to hang out and catch up by ourselves and Christine,
Alicia, Patti joined us later. We all had a blast! We watched the Olympics,
cheered loudly and laughed like we always do. Happy birthday girl!
Saturday, for the most part, was a huge success, thanks to
all my peeps for making it so special.
