(no subject)
Can I tell you how ill I feel right now? Steve went home sick this morning from work and if I didn't have class tonight I'd seriously consider joining him...I feel like I'm going to toss cookies any moment...Not a good feeling while sitting in a quiet office where the bathroom is NOT close. Well, we'll see how it goes...I do have a trash can at least..
So lets see...where did things leave off?
Ah. Wednesday night I stayed home..I made an apple pie that was kind of sub-par...Steve went out with Trey & Kuj in that limo (so much for the 10 people...) and instead of going somewhere cool like Boston or Providence, they went to the Lucky Dog, Tammany and then Leitrims (please note Steve's intense hatred of Leitrims limo or no limo..)
He got home and I was already in bed, I asked him why he didn't stay at Trey's and all he said was "They brought back girls" and mumbled something about how he knew I wouldn't want him there...I silently agreed and then rolled over and went to sleep... :o) kinda cute..
Thanksgiving was fun, but different..it wasn't at my aunt's house full of gross Greek food; it was at my parents house with just my mom, dad, sister and grandmother. The food was terrific and we had fun, but it was kind of a slap in the face and probably a little foreshadowing of how Christmas is going to go without my grandparents there to hold it all together. It just seems ridiculous that a few months ago I was thinking how bad Christmas would be without my Pepere and now it's how bad Christmas will be without my Memere OR Pepere...Somebody's going to have to figure out how to make that fudge...(Note to self: Get recipe for Pepere's fudge)
Got home Thanksgiving night and wanted to do something...I managed to depress myself with the thoughts mentioned above on my way back to Shrewsbury so I needed a beer. Steve & I went to Ralph's for 2 drinks and then came home and passed out early.
Friday, we got up and actually decided to go to the mall. Just for the hell of it. Can I tell you, it was painless! We found a parking spot relatively close to the front immediately and there really weren't THAT many people there...we didn't wait in line to pay for anything so maybe that's why we were so pleasantly surprised..but it was actually kind of relaxing. Strange!
That night I met AnneMarie & Steph out at the Boynton for drinks with their Sears friends. Good times! Many laughs and met some new interesting people. Got home and amazingly, Steve was still awake so we got to talk and cuddle for a little while before bed...it was nice.
Saturday I spent all day doing a paper for my online class. Hopefully it went ok. I submitted it quickly just to get it out of my hands and I think I regret it.
That night Steve & I were at a loss for what to do so we drove around for a while (There were 3 cars at the Plantation Club so we didn't go in) and ended up at Cactus Pete's. Steve ran into a couple of kids that he had fought with years ago and wasn't really interested in seeing but we ended up chatting with them anyway. One of these kids was someone who went to Assumption a year ahead of me and Steve was convinced that he remembers this person saying how in love with a girl named Beth he was and that her description matched me to a tee. I think this drove him nuts because the thought of me sleeping with this kid bothered him no end...It bothered ME more because the kids name was familiar but I couldn't call up a mental image of him...not too good seeing as Steve was telling me I slept with/dated him!!
Long story short (too late!) I felt a lot better when Steve introduced us, I've never seen this kid in my life. Steve looked kind of relieved too, although I may have just imagined the look...I don't know...I was relieved, me not remembering someones name wouldn't be too surprising.. :op
After a very quick beer at Cactus Pete's we went to the Blarney Stone. I tried to tell Steve was a hole it is, but he had never been...We got a beer and sat near the pool table and watched 3 guys play that game where you try to get the metal ring on the hook from 6 feet away...(The hook is connected to a string which is tethered to the ceiling...) I personally had no idea that this was even a game...
(I noted that swinging a metal ring through the air was kind of dangerous for a packed bar to which Steve answered "But darts are ok??"..Touche..)
Steve walked away to talk to a kid that he went to high school with and one of the guys playing the hook game (who bore a slight resemblance to Dom DeLouise...) came over and asked me if the short blonde kids name was Steve, to which I said yes and he said his name was Dave..stupidly I didn't ask him how he knew Steve. Steve still has no idea who the guy is..which is one of those things that would drive me CRAZY trying to figure it out. Dave asked if I wanted to play and then asked which of the hook-game-playing-guys I knew. I said I have no idea who any of them are and he said he had assumed I was friends with them because we were watching them play/laughing with them..
Meanwhile up at the bar, another of the hook-game-playing-kids was asking Steve how he knew his friends...Which was kind of funny..they all assumed that we knew one of them, while we were just standing there apparently looking friendly...
On the way out, someone tapped me on the shoulder..I turned around and this guy asks if I work in Natick. It turned out to be the kid that works next door that 1) I nearly hit with my car and had to apologize to profusely 2) watched me trip on some ice about a week ago and nearly wipe out on the pavement. So this kid already must think I'm totally spastic and then I introduced him to Steve as "The kid I nearly hit with my car" (aka Tim). I don't think he'll be rushing to pick me up off the pavement again anytime soon..in my defense, I was a little drunk and a little more free with the words then I would normally be...it's one of those instances that I'm looking back on and still blushing from embarrasment...
Sunday we stayed in bed. We woke up at 10 and neither of us had any desire to leave bed until around 3. We watched Dragonheart on the SciFi channel and other random cartoons and food shows..Then finally I dragged myself up and went grocery shopping...we cleaned the entire apartment top to bottom and settled in for Desperate Housewives..SCANDOLOUS!!!!
I do not want to be at work at all..which is why this is nearly 3 pages long..sorry about that..and it's all rambling.
Ok, I'll stop..how was everyone's Thanksgiving?
