THE AWESOME LIST
I'm going to keep these short, because otherwise I'll be here all night. Let's just say today was fabulous.
1. Got in a great workout at the gym this morning.
2. I must say, I look hot in formal officewear.
3. Because our female teacher is out sick this week, Aaron and the apprentice teacher, Matt, kept using me to try out the follow half of a wedding dance Matt is choreographing under Aaron's tutelage. I was, in essence, a foxtrot mannequin. Fortunately, that's, like, the best mannequin EVER. I got dipped about a million times (always fun) and learned this nifty corte-ronde move that was endlessly fun. And when the couple came in to learn the first part of the routine, I got to demonstrate the cool parts with Matt. Best. Job. Ever.
4. I got home, got on facebook, and spent over an hour chatting with Killeen. Did I mention I am beyond excited about tomorrow?!
5. I remembered this morning that Paneras have free wifi, so I was smart enough to bring my laptop to work and got my internet fix during my lunch break. Plus, a sourdough bowl full of delicious soup.
Also, a little anecdote in which I might be reveling a tad too much:
Last night, after I solidified plans with Killeen, I got to thinking about me and dating, relationships, etc. And I remembered that my facebook relationship status was still listed as "It's Complicated." (Note: I do indeed realize the shallowness of discussing my facebook relationship status, but bear with me. My story gets better.) It's been that way since all of the Arielle craziness, though of course it didn't say with whom things were complicated. Just that that's what they were, in some abstract, anonymous way. And I thought three things: 1) I am looking forward to this date like a single person, not as a person in a complicated relationship. 2) Do I want Killeen to think of me as single or "complicated" if she looks at my facebook profile? 3) Dammit, I'm sick of being complicated, and deserve some simplicity! I've been very patient and understanding, and so I feel I've earned as much.
So I changed my status back to "Single," and my "Looking For" section now includes dating and a relationship.
Wouldn't you know it, the very next day, who should call me but Arielle? I was at work and getting ready to go to lunch, and I checked my phone, and there was a voicemail from her. I've been calling her and trying to get a hold of her for weeks, and to no avail. But today she popped up out of nowhere. Coincidence? Probably not. And I don't quite know what I want to say when I call her back tomorrow. I think I'll let her lead the way as far as tone goes and see what happens. I'm probably reveling in this a little too much, but it's a story worth reveling in.
Oh my goodness, Danielle, go to bed!
