manic monday
So I just got back from getting the most incredible massage, ever! I forgot how much I enjoy people rubbing on me!!! (all you dirty people: get it out of the gutter!) I had the same guy, George, as the first time Sarah and I went to this place (if you want to know you will have to contact me and complete the rituals set forth by the chosen ones because it is the best kept secret in Charlotte!). So, George, incredible...talented...skilled in his trade...gift from God? I think he might be my soulmate...I really want to ask him to move in with me so he can do that every night before I go to bed. (do you get the idea of how much I love this guy!!!???) I went in grumpy and came out feeling refreshed and happy...and disappointed (because it was over!) Ok, I'm going to stop talking about George...for now.
This weekend was really fun. Sarah and I drove up to Virginia to see Anna and Justin in a play, How to Succeed in Business, and it was awesome! I love watching the two of them act...such talent! It was also an exhausting weekend because we didn't get up there until 3am Saturday morning, slept until 1 or so, got home from the show and stayed up until about...yep, 3am, got up at 5:30am Sunday and drove to the Renaissance Charlotte for an incredibly crowded bridal expo. Phew! Makes me tired just typing about it. It was good, though. I think Sarah got some good thoughts out of the expo, and she was able to enter a bunch of drawings (cross your fingers!). Christina and Nichole came over for girls night, which should become a Sunday night tradition...I'm gonna have to run it by the girls. We ate Chili's and watched Grey's Anatomy (best show ever!) I finally went to bed around midnight...only to be called at 2 in the morning by Cory (more about him later). So, after a really great (but really long) conversation, it was yet again 5am and I was going back to sleep...this day will never end.
Monday, what is there to say about Monday other than it's the worst day of the week. I have a feeling this week is going to be pretty eventful...it always seems to be when my Mondays are full of crazy things. The day started off with a text message from Ryan...hmmm. So we wrote back and forth a bit, just talking about random things, and then he's all: you know, you can call me sometime if you want to BS or something. And I said to myself...this is not ok, he has a girlfriend (yep, it's been confirmed...even jerks get dates before me!) and I remember when this ex of his called him all the time, it didn't make me feel good. I told him that and he was basically like: it's ok, you can call. So I told him I was always here if he wanted or needed to talk, but that I am struggling too much right now to BS with him...he never wrote back.
Other exciting news: I am spending Fourth of July weekend with a really old friend (no, he is not really old, we've just known each other for like 10 years) I am soooo excited (enter Cory). When I was a freshman in high school my brother was a senior. He participated in a local youth group and convinced me to go with him...the start to our great relationship. Well, there weren't too many kids my age that participated in this group, so I spent most of my time hanging out with Shawn and all his friends. I had like 8 big brothers during high school...fun fun fun. Well, Cory was one of them. I'm sure you can guess where this story is going...
So, Cory and I talked a lot after I graduated and went to school, hung out when we were both in town, it was great. Then we both just stopped putting the effort into it. He moved to Texas with his parents and I met Ryan. We haven't seen or spoken in about six years. That is incredible...but, we hooked back up on myspace and have been talking for the past week or two and it's been really great. He invited me down for Fourth of July weekend and I couldn't be more excited. It's going to be a bit awkward at first, I was like a kid sister to him and all their friends...they all antagonized me like crazy! So now I'm an adult, or am old enough to be considered one, and it's weird. I'm so nervous. I've changed a lot since we last saw each other.
One of the great things about Cory is how real he is...we talked for three hours last night (or this morning, whatever) and found out stuff that neither one of us had any idea of. Turns out we have more in common than either of us thought...weird. I'm excited to see his mom again, he told me she was pretty excited when he told her I was coming. It's cute. It's nice to know he is still grounded in his faith...even though he might be struggling with some issues, it is always there.
Who knows what that weekend is going to be like, I'm going to be there for awhile. I get in on Friday night and come back on Wednesday morning...wow, that's a long time. But, he's got all kinds of stuff planned so I know it's going to go by way too quick. Enough about this...I'll update as interesting stuff comes up.
The countdown is coming to an end...we're down to 7 days till Europe. Yay!!!
