The Weekend Past
So, I was talking to my mom on Tuesday about things. It came up that it looked like mys little sister wasn't going to be able to come out to visit before she started getting into the college thing and too busy to breath. An hour or two later I get a call from Maria: "Your little sister is coming on Thursday!?" Disappointedly, I explain the conversation that my mother and i had had. "Then why did she just text me saying that she was?" Huh? I rather abruptly hung up with Maria and called Mer. Apparently, right after I hung up with Mom she got on the computer and got Mer a ticket to come out here for a week, the day after next. How cool is that!?! Got to love frequent flyer miles.
Mer flew in late Thursday night. Waiting no time, Maria, Mer and I woke up bright and early to go to Disneyland. Maria, being the resident expert on all things Magical Kingdom, showed us all the wonderful little architectural and artistic tidbits that combine to create the happiest place on earth; it was sort of an impromptu backstage tour (only without actually going backstage). In one slightly awkward moment, Maria’s ex was the one that got us the tickets to get in… I thought it could have been worse, but it was clear that Maria was more than a little uncomfortable. We had a blast and a half and were dead tired by the time we left. But it was a wonderful day with two of my favorite women.
Saturday Maria worked, but I got to spend the whole day with the sister. It wasn’t necessarily a day of exciting activities but it was cool to just sit with her and catch up. She went with me to put new tires on the Aveo and then helped me sell my truck to my downstairs neighbor (I got less than I was hoping for, but I was ready to donate the stupid thing so it doesn’t matter). When Maria got home from work, we mixed some drinks for Mer, but we were all fairly beat so it didn’t get as crazy as it could have (I honestly think it died with Jake turned the light off while we were watching The Princess Bride, which Maria had never seen).
Sunday was church, Maria came with. She seemed to enjoy it, but that sort of thing is always difficult to tell. I think it helped a little that it was a very small congregation that morning and that Mer was there to take some of the heat off “the new girlfriend”. She did say that she like the church family, but then those people are hard not to like. I hope they like her better than they liked SBG, it was amazing to find out who didn’t like that girl. After church we went to lunch with the family and then Maria and Mer did “girl things” with Alex and Katie, who knows what that means.
That Night we went to see Into the Woods at the Starlight (apparently that showed debuded at the The Old Globe in San Diego, who’d have thought? It was a good time and a good show. Mer didn’t know quite hot to react to Ben, Maria’s Giant Pineapple (that is to say, Huge Fruit), but she had a good time.
Oh, and I find it ironic that SBG, of bed hoping fame can't get laid and feels guilty when it comes close... Would have been nice to rate such consideration... I'll be getting a phone call for that gybe no doubt.
I need to get back to work now, I might expand this later, we’ll see.
