A Night With Eric Benét
Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Eric Benét again. I got word from the fan group about the show and pulled my LAST dollars and bought myself a ticket. I had a great time, with SG and ran into a Sister Circle friend and her guy. We all had a blast cracking jokes and singing with Eric.
I tried to represent the fan group, as I was the only one there. This show was sponsered by WVON and they were NOT trying to let me see Eric before or after the show. Well I kinda got smart and noticed somebody hanging out with the band. She said she was his friend and went to pass on the message to him that a TEBF wanted to see him. Well I literally waited till he was walking out the building to catch him. His friend told him I was still here and he stopped to give me a hug and picture.
He had a good show. Was hitting those notes and man the women started loosing it. Good lawd that man can sang! I eventually got to the stage and held his hand for a good minute or two and he let me. Swear to god y'all, he kept looking at me. Then again, I was the ONLY lady in a hat last night, so um, you can't miss me.
So all the TEBFs, lets get it together for 2007 cause we so need to clown when Eric comes to town.
I'm still excited, he's a real nice guy in person.
Alright, today, I just lost my mind. Didn't wake up early, missed Tigger's performance in a play by being 10mins late (and this school would be the only one to start on time). But I sat with him and teased him, took a couple of pics...
He didn't tell his grandmother or his aunt about this. We're all surprised. I don't think he likes us being at the school. Go fig. I still don't know what to make of that. After that, I ran into said relatives who made the trip...too late.
I got into my car and it wouldn't turn over. Dad thought it might've been the starter but then this evening he suggested that maybe I needed a jump. If thats the case, I don't even want to run down the road of what's connected to that issue. The car is still across the street from the school.
I forgot about calling folks for a ride and took the bus to the dr which took an hour. Wasted more time waiting on a nurse to give me my shot and then got to work...at 2:30p. By right, I should've been fired but I wasn't. My supervisor has given me yet another chance to make a positive impression. he just opted to make me stay a half hour later than everybody else and that was an hour later than nomal. Since I was oin the bus alone when I left, he said he'd call to check up on me, as he has done before from the company party last week. He called and we talked damn near an hour. So thank you lord, he likes me and it saved my job today.
The conversing outside of work will be ceasing. I keep forgetting that I'm a talkative person. I'm even worse when I'm nervous. Knowing he likes me just gave me the green light of gab. GRRRR, told him he will be seeing the back of my head tomorrow cause I'm gonna be working.
The last Mike's Hard Lemonade is mine...I was saving it for ALP. I've also been warned by boss man that thanks to my outfit from the party, that the guys are jocking for me. "The vultures are circling," he tells me today before I leave. Funny, I think he's going to be one of them though he claims he's not trying to go there thanks to bad experience. Too bad I'm so easy to get a long with and talk to right? Worse yet, he's not my type, half the time I think he's a joke in this leadership position but let me know be mean. For the record, thats 3 black men at my job that have rolled up on me. Why do I feel like I'm already in trouble?
Going down, I think bossman just took the last of my energy and now I'm just negatively jacked and sad.
Tigger's on a plane Saturday for 2 weeks, I'm going to need a chaperone.
