Perm'd!

So I got a perm last night. And I was really happy with it.....until I saw Kristen's hair. And now mine looks pitiful in comparison. *sigh* Always one-up'd by the Librarian.

I have a lot to say, but I'm too lazy to write it all down. The one thing I will blog about is how freakin' old I'm getting. But I don't think it's so much 'oldness' as it is maturity. I say this because the other day Lindsay and I were talking (she's 20 - I'm 27). I had mentioned how on my date we went to see his brother. She was saying how nervous she would have been, and how uncomfortable for her it would have been. But I said (and I quote) "I'm to the age now where you don't really care what people think because they have to just accept you for who you are." What the!?!! "I'm to the age..." I sound like I'm 50! *sigh*

And then it hit me that maybe I was so grumpy on my first 'blind' date with Brad because I'm still in the mindset of wanting someone who I would have wanted in high school or college. And since he's 32 and doesn't look 20, I might have been a little over judgmental. Either that or I was just PMSing. Who knows.

Anyway, my great uncle Don passed away yesterday. He was 78 and he died on his birthday. They sang him Happy Birthday shortly after midnight and then he passed at about 5a.m. He was one of the most funny men in the entire universe. He (and I hate to say it) was probably funnier than April and Kristen. He was the original funny. I will miss him greatly.

What a Wonderful World!

I think I've found my soulmate! *sigh* Brad loves ketchup on everything, except eggs, and I find that this makes me think we were meant to be together. I love ketchup. On everything. Except eggs.

Anyway, I had the most glorious weekend! I am so sad that it had to end. My dad had bought 4 four-wheelers over Easter weekend, and this past weekend, we took them out because Kayla was over. Nathaniel, Missy, Justin, Kayla and I hung out pretty much the whole weekend and it was so fun. I thought that I wouldn't like the four-wheelers, but I had a really good time. Kayla is now and expert on them and Justin has taught her bad habits. We also played baseball (which really means I pitch and Kayla hits while Missy outfields) which was fun, until Nathaniel decided he wanted to hit, so he got our ball stuck in the tree. It's still there. Poopstain!

And as for my date, a 180° better date than the first time. He shaved, got a haircut and even had his sister go with him shopping to get some new clothes. He looked really good, and is really kind of cute (And, Jolene, I studied his hands and he doesn't have liver spots on them...just some freckles. I can deal with that!) And he's not as short as I remember, so I think the midget dreams were unfounded.

He picked me up at 6pm and we went to Madison. We had to stop at his brother's place to drop off some stuff. When we got there, he asked if I wanted to come in or stay in the truck. I said I'd stay, but then he said his brother was dying to meet me. This intrigues me because I want to know why. Has Brad been talking a lot about me to him that he wants to meet me? So curious. However, we woke his brother up from a nap. His brother is about as tall as Brad is, but he's really athletic looking - not buff, but thinner. And he's kind of hot. I've been told by everyone who know both of these guys that my sense of humor is the same as Scott's, but I didn't really see that because I think both of them were being on their best behavior. I did, however, get some funny stories about Brad out of the whole thing, so it was worth going in. We stayed for about a 1/2 hour.

Then we went to dinner, and he paid for it. We had great conversation and laughed a lot. Then we went to a movie. We saw The Sentinel with Eva Longoria, who only had like 5 lines, but they just needed her for her boobies. I wish I could just be needed for my boobies. It was a good movie. I wanted him to hold my hand or something, but he didn't. He's shy, so I can understand that.

We talked all the way home and then he dropped me off, no kiss, but that's o.k. becuase the first kiss always sucks. Always (except for my very first kiss ever, which is good because if my first kiss ever was bad, I'd just hate to kiss). So, he's going to call me sometime this week and we will probably go out next weekend.

Now. Here's the deal. Now that I kind of like him and am looking forward to getting to know him and hang out with him, he'll probably decided he doesn't like me. It will work that way. I'm betting on it, so if you'd like to put some money on it, I'm up for that action! *sigh* Can't things just be easy? It would be nice if he could just be The One and I could be done with all this dating crap.

And in other unrelated events. The other night I had a dream about Jeremy closing on his house, and he showed up with his girlfriend named Chloe. Now, she wasn't fat, but I'm assuming she was supposed to be with that name - since we all remember me being introduced to Kristen's cat!!!

Next Date!

*sigh* I am going on date number two with.....hmmmmm....what shall be his code name? I'll call him Badger, as that what was on his hat. *shudders* (I hope he doesn't wear that hat again....last night Nathaniel came over and was wearing a Budweiser hat and I almost asked him if I could borrow it for Saturday night....I can't believe I actually almost did that. I'm so shallow)

Anyway, so now that I'm going on this date, I keep having dreams about midgets. It's quite frightening to me. I'm always taller than him in my dreams, and I don't know if that's because I'm obsessing about it or because that's what will actually happen. I am shallow, aren't I?

But aside from him being short, I have been having great conversations with him on the phone, and he is funny and doesn't mind being picked on, which is good, since I pick on everyone. And he emailed me after my trip earlier this week to ask if I had a good time. I thought that was sweet. When I saw he emailed me, I instantly thought, "Oh, great, here's my "dear john" letter and he'll tell me how he doesn't think I'm his type." Then I opened it and it was a sweet email. So, then I thought, "Don't be nice! Don't make me like you!!" Gosh!

So, I'm still not expecting great things from this, and even though it'd be easier for him to "dump" me, it would still suck.

In other news, there is no other news. I'm so glad it's Friday that I can't even begin to explain it to you! I've been so swamped at work that if it keeps up like this, I'll be having a breakdown within the next month or so.

And I don't really remember the conversation between Kristen and April all that well, because it did kind of freak me out, so I'm assuming that I'm blocking it out. All I remember (and I might be making this up) is saying that if April were a boy, Kristen and her would hit it off. And for some reason, I remember Kristen saying something about running her fingers through April's curly hair. That totally freaks me out, becuase I can't picture April as a boy, so I just see Kristen, as a girl, running her fingers through April's hair, and April is still a girl. *shudders* I think you guys need to fill me in on what I'm missing.

I still just laugh at "Rug'd" and "Zdot!" My mom laughed at them too!

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

Rug'd!

It was a fun weekend. Many memorable moments. Although I have to say my favorite was the metallic colored bow being April's bangs. So. Stinking. Funny!

And, of course, Kristen's new phrase "Zdot!"

I don't have time to write much right now, but do know that I'm now depressed and going through withdrawals from not being around you guys. *sigh*

I'll just go eat chocolate.

Too Excited

I'm way too excited about this weekend to concentrate on anything!! I can't wait to laugh and laugh and laugh (and by laugh, I mean laugh at) Kristen and April - because their lives are way more amusing than my own. Not that I don't like my life, but it lacks the hilarity of those two crazy kids!

And I can't wait to eat. I love to eat out and I never do unless I'm away on vacation. I hope that China Inn is on the menu. I haven't had Chinese in forever. *sigh*

Today is going by so super slowly, and I'll bet that tomorrow and Wednesday will go by even more slowly, until Wednesday afternoon when everyone will want everything done before I go. But I say to heck with that! Yes, to heck with it!

*giggles* "Thanks a million!" (April, you crack me up!)
