Happy V Day

Well today was interesting. I woke up to Will calling me at 6am telling Happy Valentine’s Day and that Sarah texted him. "Hey Steph, Sarah was telling me I needed to send you roses" Well actually it was “Steeaaph Suuraah tellin me bout sum roses" I was half asleep and was like what??? I am gonna kill her I said. "No No NO don't say a word" he said. Um okay, not gonna happen. Then I get to work and Vickie asked me what Will was gonna send me, I told her nothing and that we would celebrate it on Saturday. So she texts him without my permission. SO he calls me feelin all bad, I told him not to feel bad and I would call him later. He said “I got all yer friends texting me about the damn flowers" well I do apologize, Sarah had my best interest at heart and Vickie wanted to stir the pot, bottom line.

I was in a terrible mood all day, Valentine’s Day is a crock, designed to make you feel feelings you would not normally feel. I have designed my relationships to seem like I don't need stuff; well maybe I do need stuff, little stuff. Little stuff like, I need to see my parents Saturday, check. I need to have dinner with my boyfriend Saturday night, check check. I have decided that I am gonna stay in bounds of the blessings I do have and leave the rest alone. Sarah was awesome to give a little nudge in the flowers department, now he knows that sometime you do have to read between the lines.

All of us together this weekend will be the best present I can ask for.

P.S. Sarah + face time with Will  = influential friend. See you soon

 

Roses are red.....so I've heard

Lunch went well, just a good ol fashion meet and greet amongst cousins. She caught me up on life in Flat Rock, Alabama and then we dodged a head on collision when leaving the restaurant. Nothing like a quick trip to the ER to make you forgive and forget. We played nicely in the sandbox and all is good.

I got a call from Will after work telling me he was going to send me flowers tomorrow but decided against it since I once told him I don't need material things to make me happy. He said that he would rather spend the money on a nice dinner out that we both could enjoy. AWWW but but but I haven’t had a boyfriend on V Day in years and I have never gotten flowers delivered to my work....I want the flowers damnit! Oh well I guess that’s what I get for trying to be low maintenance. I will look forward to our night out on the town...in Atlanta. Yes we are going to visit my parents and then he wants to have dinner in Atlanta. I am trying to decide on a place...I need help! I was thinking maybe dinner at a Tapas place and then a comedy club, Whole World Theater perhaps? I don't know I am a horrible plan maker. I mean I have been fired from being in charge of movie rentals for crying out loud. The last 3 movies I rented were total bombs that we ended up turning off half way through the movie. I mean I can’t even cut and paste a word out of an online Thesaurus properly. Now I am under the gun to make this spectacular evening in a city where I feel like I never know where to go. Ugh, I was thinking Brookhaven and then I pictured us running into Gary....um no. The North versus the South is a not my idea of a good meet n greet for Valentine’s Day, which is our two month anniversary by the way. It’s really the 15th but I secretly switched it so it could be on Valentine’s Day cause I thought I would be getting flowers and the card would read “Happy Anniversary my little love muffin butterbean boopy butt.” I don’t know who is called that but I was picturing something that would bring a tear to my eye after I gagged a little.

 
Ok I am done being a brat; maybe Vickie will let me smell her roses.

Where in the heck to I bring a farm boy to in Atlanta???? (Any and all suggestion are welcome)
Scattered, smothered and covered?

 

get it MB!

First off, I want to wish one of my very good friend, Marybeth Thompson, well. I want to send out a huge shout out as she gets her ass out of a huge standstill called Atlanta. I want so many great things for you and I know you of all people will make that happen. I am so happy that you are making this giant leap! Marybeth was one of the proprietors in my nomadic stage and for that I will always be grateful. XOXOXO love you! I can’t wait to visit you in Charleston!

I have been trying to keep my hormones in check this week and I have been not so successful.  Today I have raised my voice with Lori, sssshhed my production manager, bowed up to my boss and asked Will what the hell was one his mind. Since nothing was on his mind, I blame it all on my reproductive cycle. Me and my mood swings do apologize.

Anyhoo, hopefully my hormones will be in check tomorrow because my long lost cousin and I are having lunch. For the first time in a year and a half we are gonna hang out for a whole hour (good luck girl) and I am looking forward to it.

 

it was almost a full moon

Almost got caught with my pants down ya'll. Yesterday, while Will was in the shower, I am doing my laundry. The laundry room has a window in front of the washer and dryer and an outside door on the side of the room. As I am putting my last load in I realize I need to wash the pants I have on too. So I remove them and throw them in the washer knowing I have a fresh pair in the dryer to replace them. Then out of nowhere Will's dad appears in the window...ahhh! Thank goodness for my cat-like reflexes that I was able to use the next half second wisely, I opened the dryer pulled out anything that resembled pants and was able to cover my white bottom before the Dad came barging in the door. “Hey girl, what's up?!” He surveys the room, “oh good you're just doing your laundry and not his right?” “Hell no just mine!" I yell nervously. “Ha good!”  and shuts the door. Holy crap, thanks for stopping by!

 
Ok well now I know, keep your pants up and your eyes open, lesson learned.

 

solo sunday

So Saturday after a fun night out with Kelly, I resigned my position as head of household and fled to the country so Kelly could have some peace and quiet. A few hours later she resigned her position as a homeless person and got to go back home to some electricity. Woohoo! We didn't kill each other, yay! After nine days of house guests, I came back home today and got reacquainted with my couch. We spent some quality time together as I watched 6 episodes of Army Wives.

Last Friday, Christine and Patti came to visit me and Kelly joined in the on the fun whether she liked it or not. We had a good ol fashion slumber party, the girls got a long splendidly (whew, I am always nervous about mixing friends) but we all had a blast! We played dress up, had some dance party USA that ended with jumping off the couch and doing face plants on the air mattress, as ya do. I got to do my skit of the prank I played on our Production manager. I have no idea why, but for whatever reason I can do an Asian ascent, like perfectly. I was acting like this lady Lucy who calls us up all the time, she is super enthusiastic and our Production Manager can’t stand her. I called him from my cell phone, talked just like her and got him good. Everyone in the office was rolling, I was pretty proud of myself.

We got up the next morning; Kelly went to go transfer all her food from her house to mine and the rest of us met Will for lunch. It was a great time at the Mexican restaurant; Will gave his usual hugs to everyone and picked me up over his head of course. It was all comfortable and conversation flowed as always. They loved him, put their stamp of approval on him and gave the green light to meet the rest of the Decatur crew. We had a good laugh at some of the ways Will pronounces things ie magnesium or maaguhneeesiiuum. I think there are now 10 syllables in that word.

 Now if you'll excuse me I need to find out how this divorce is going after one army wife cheated on her army husband....drama drama drama.

 
More tomorrow!

 

sike

Well I was planning on blogging tonight and catch everyone up on the recent activities but Kelly is about to walk in the door and she already told me she is talking me into going out. I have my comfies on so we'll see if she can make me pry them off of me. Poor thing has been homeless for a full 7 days, hunkering down in my one bedroom one bath. Her house got all jacked up from the recent tornadoes and her power lines were severed. We are not so patiently waiting for the dumb dumbs of Nashville Electric Service to mend her lines so she can move off my couch, which is where she has been since she got off a plane from Boston for work. So tomorrow will be the day I play catch up...hopefully.

A few quick things before I go....3 more votes of approval for Will...Christine, Patti and Kelly all loved Will. They all say that he is my perfect match so we are gonna go with that for now. I am excited to tell you about the prank I played at work and the fact that my job is insaneballs. I told Sarah that Kelly was a blog block and she replied that she has blue blog balls. HA!

 

 

I am having withdrawls from expressing myself

Wow its been so long since I have talked to you all!!! Well just wait one more day, Kelly has been staying with me all week and its been tough to come home and pour out my soul. So tomorrow its on, I think I will have the house to myself for the first time since last Friday. Fingers crossed!!! Be patient I have a lot to go over!
