I finished my training at Applebee's yay! made some new friends in the process, Im defiately going to like working there. Got into a fight with my parents, which was bogus and just pissed me off some more, but then it also made me look at things lots of things differently, which in turn pissed me off once again because it left me feeling like people I cared for most were hurting me, ALOT. thanks, mom....But I got it all figured out now, and Im fine. I've also realized some things about my relationship with Mike, and Im glad I did, because otherwise Id have driven myself crazy. The main realization which spun off into others was tht Mike is unlike any other guy Ive dated. I honestly cannot find any common factor (beyond physical looks, not that any before him could match his handsomeness, but if youve known me for long enough, you understand) between him and them. And this excites me, of course, I love it. But it also means that I have to get used to how he acts in a relationship as opposed to these past guys. Past guys fawned all over me constantly, always complimented me, wanted to spend every spare second with me...that was their way of showing me they loved me. Mike's way is different, and I like it better, I really do. I know that he loves me from a look or a touch, rather than a bouquet of flowers and a barrage of nice words. That and he teases the hell outta me, and I love it, even though I may complain about it sometimes....lol Ok, so on with my weekend
Friday:
Skipped class because I didnt write my paper, and I got out of having to present a research paper I didnt actually write *ahem*
rollerbladed 4 miles
Went out to Mike's. gave him his present, which he loved, I was so happy he liked it lol I made him a card, too. Im so crafty haha, yeah right. Then we went to the Tiger's game. free parking ha SHUTOUT that was awesome. Mike taught me how to keep score which is really cool, and Im definately going to do that everytime I watch a baseball game now, itll keep me interested and paying attention. Then we went to Canada, so Mike could play some poker. I sat out in the lobby (I guess thats what you call it) since I coudlnt be in the poker room. And yet another old foreign guy came up to talk to me, he came out a few tiems and kept chattin me up, it was slightly akward. So did some old gay guys haha they were funny because they didnt know how to play poker, and some young guys were trying to explain it to them, & once they left, the guys turn to me and say "I still have no idea how that damn game works! Im more confused now than I was before, I just need to stay outta there" We went back to Mike's house and he left with a friend to go back to the casino lol the kid's nuts, I swear.That was my first time driving over the border, I was kinda nervous about it, I didnt want them to be askin me a bunch of questions, luckily Im cute and have a great smile, but when theres a female border guard, I cant rely on that as much. ha ha
Saturday:
worked from 10:30 til 1
Brittaney came over, with her bf/fiance/whatever, to run her salespitch for vacuums or whatever to my parents. They bought stuff, of course. Made jokes about lots of stuff with Shelby lol I dont think I could survive without her, I tell ya. I definately didnt know that was happening until I came home from work & heard my parents talking about how she was going to be here soon. Im just glad Mike and I had plans to go out rather than hang around that night.
Mike came over about 4ish. We went to Dave & Buster's, didnt get carded. He beat me at everything lol but I had fun anyways...well, I did beat him at one horse race and one game of skee ball haha Then we ate out at Olive Garden. Mike made me laugh so damn hard. Then he kept playing all these mind games with me, like brain teaser kinda things. yeah, we all know I suck at those, thanks.....lol Then he was asking me to name all the sports teams in different states. And I was pretty good, if I do say so myself. I was impressed with my knowledge lol Came back to my house for 2 seconds, parents called and said they were at Grandma Dee's, so we went over there for a bit. Came back, watched a movie and hung out for a bit longer, because of my "female sense" apparently haha
Sunday:
Went to church
Watched Little Black Book - good movie, btw
Went to work 4-9
Softball game, they smoked em! Mike's a great pitcher, the whole team is really good. they had a lot of good plays this game, fun to watch. I feel like I need to get friendlier with Mike's friends tho, that way Im not just "Yott's girlfriend". I kinda suck at starting friendships and stuff tho, so this should be interesting.
Came home and watched Family Guy. love that show, Ive missed it lately, it makes me happy
