My Head's Not in the Game
I have no desire to work today or the rest of the week when I know I'm merely days away from my first cruise ever! Shane and I are pretty darn excited....but now it seems that this week insists on dragging by slowly only prolonging the anticipation. I think we will fare well though.
Nothing much to talk about. Last night Shane's friend Tim was texting him, and let him know that a former friend of Shane's just bought a sports bike. They thought it was pretty funny...especially considering this guy's wife just up and quit her job and they have two small children. It's actually quite irresponsible. Sometimes I try to encourage Shane to try to make amends with this friend & wife, and other times I don't care if he does. [Backstory - right before Shane & I got married, this friend and his wife just dropped off the face of the earth and quit responding to Shane's attempts at contact. Shane was very hurt that they didn't even send a card congratulating us on our wedding considering Shane went out of his way to attend theirs - he was a truck driver at the time. Shane feels that if they were truly friends, they would have made an effort. Shane has since cut off all contact with them, including a recent attempt by this friend's wife to reconcile their differences via myspace] His former friend doesn't bother me in the least and he seems like a really nice guy. They've known each other practically all their lives. However, the dude's wife is what I'm wary about. I've only met her twice, with the second time her introducing herself to me like we'd never met. I guess I didn't make that big of an impression the first time. Then while we're hanging out, she insists on talking about nothing except what they did in the past, and scolding my husband for not coming over as much anymore. It made me feel excluded because I couldn't join in on every conversation, and she also made it seem like if we weren't together, Shane would still hang out with them (like it was my fault or something Shane didn't come over all the time). I told Shane I didn't think she cared for me, but Shane said not to worry - unless girl is the center of attention she's not happy. After talking to other common friends, it appears she is like that with all women. It's like, girl...I don't want your husband or your life...I don't care if the attention is on me...but try and be cool and let's talk and what not. Whatever... We may run into them at Tim (and Amanda's) wedding here in a few weeks, so I hope all goes well and she/they don't cause a scene.
Since this is my last week to work in Birmingham, my friend Terry and I have decided to go out to eat every day this week (except Monday b/c of the holiday). Yesterday we went to Jim n' Nick's barbecue...which isn't some kind of restaurant only in B'ham, but we hadn't eaten there in awhile, and I wanted their smoked turkey quesadillas. But when I got them, I was highly disappointed b/c they no longer serve it with guacamole and crumbly white cheese. My theory is they can no longer afford to make the guacamole due to the rising food prices. Poop!
Okay, I guess I've rambled long enough. I have some actual work to do, but....(see first line of this post).
