What a great evening!! I started off with a bad attitude. Went to Lenox to meet up with my shopaholic aunt and cousin. They spent over an hour and half in Ann Taylor alone. NIGHTMARE I tell you. The fun part was playing with the baby the whole time. Who knew you could pick up men with an infant?? It is amazing the people that will just come up and talk because you have a baby.
I was in Bloomindale's taking advantage of some great deals and the sales lady is practically stalking me. At first I was thinking "lady, do I really look like I would be a theif?? NO" Then she comes up and tells me..."I know may sound odd, but you are just absolutely beautiful. You are so classy and put together. I love your look. You are so dainty at the same time." I responded, "Dainty? I am BIG and TALL, not dainty" She says "no, no, you really are, you are just so graceful and poised." It was just the most bizarre thing. Then she goes on to tell me she just then had a vision. She says again "I know this sounds weird but I just had a vision. You know God has a plan for everyone and I just saw you, married to a very cute man with a beautiful little girl that is the spitting image of you." She says " have faith because I see a really good and happy life for you" I tell you all it was just the most peculiar thing I have heard in a while!
Next after the mall I was obligated to stop by a Christmas party. Its an annual event one of my best friends from college holds. I have never been and after not going last year he was so mad at me he didn't speak to me for 6 months. I HAD to go this year. So inbetween the mall and picking my mom up at the airport at midnight I stopped by. I was tooootally dreading it. As soon as I got there though I was digging the vibe. We went out on the balcony to get drinks and I ended up staying out there. There was a cool chick I started talking to then a group of four guys came out and we all continued to talk for the next 45 minutes. Great conversation...really nice cute guys. I think sometimes I isolate myself from the world because I get scared I won't know how to socialize without those from my safe circle. I forgot how much fun I can be. I forgot I know how to be the life of a party. My friend, Adam, whose party it was came and drug me off the balcony to go meet people....in walking through I run into a really good friend of mine from college I haven't seen in 5 years. He and I completely freaked out when we saw each other. It is weird how I forgot about him...forgot about such a good friend. We used to go out every single weekend together, hang out a few times a week. Soo good to see him! He was like "I am calling you tomorrow, we are bonding again!!" I am so excited. I then proceded to run into a bunch of other people I know from over the years. I really did forget how socialI used to be and how many people I used to know...and have even met over the years here in Atlanta. The past two years I have become this completely lame hermit. I know it stems from insecurity of gaining weight and not being as cute as I used to be. But even the guy I hadn't seen in five years told me I look so good...that made me feel so good. I needed tonight BADLY! I need to get out....make friends, meet people. I forgot its really easy.
Of course I was TOOOTALLY bummed when I had to leave to go pick my mom up from the airport. Everyone was joking that I should call her and tell her to take MARTA.
It was nice to see mom...but I just saw her less than two weeks ago in Italy.
Anyways...I can't wait to get together with some of the people from tonight in the coming weeks. Especially Ken, the long lost good friend. It was just nice to know I still have the ability to flirt and be charming and make friends.
Anyways...sorry for the blabbing. I am just happy! :)
