Saturday Night: A Bit of a Bummer

Stephen, (Stephen’s girlfriend) Ashley, Mike and I didn’t end up being able to go out to eat together on Saturday night but it ended up okay because we got to go out to eat the next morning on the date of our real birthday anyway. His girlfriend….wow. I hadn’t met her yet….wow.

Sunday Afternoon: Lunch w/My Twin Brother

We’re sitting at the restaurant, the three of us, enjoying our meal, having a moment of quiet.

Ashley: “You guys are being quiet”.

Stephen: “(Smirking) We don’t need to talk out loud Ash. Joanna and I can communicate telepathically. We’re having a conversation right now, can’t you tell?”

Me: (grinning at Stephen being a smart ass)

Ashley: “Oh, I believe you, I can tell by the coniving look on both of your faces. I have these two twin cousins. They won’t even be looking at each other and I’ll catch both of them sometimes with the exact same expression on their faces.”

Me: ???

Ashley leaves to the bathroom

Me: “Um…dude, did she seriously just believe you?”

Stephen: “Yeah, shes got a couple screws loose…”

So yeah…woah. LOL.

Saturday Evening: Dinner w/My Best Friend & Her New Boyfriend…and Mike

Mike and I have been waiting at Olive Garden for an hour. We’ve come to the conclusion that Jodie and her new guy are probably driving around the city we live in looking for an Olive Garden that doesn’t exist. They assumed that I would pick a place in our city instead of driving out to where they live, a half hour away. I’m very disappointed. Finally Mike and I get our own table and sit down to eat, finally coming to the conclusion that they’re not showing up.

Mike: “Crap…I forgot about my car payment….shit. Well, oh well.”

Me: Mike, what do you exactly have to go towards our bills this week?

Mike: Well…I can pretty much cover my half of our storage bill and the rest will have to wait until next week. Its okay since my check will be $200.00

Me: Yeah, but between your Mom and the car payment your going to need $225.00 atleast.

Mike: Yeah, its okay. I’ve spent $60 atleast on your birthday alone this week though (not complaining, just giving me that look that says my birthday is worth it).

Me: (grabbing his hand from across the table) “Thank you. I love you”.

I’m a loser….a pathetic loser at that. What am I supposed to say? We’re eating at a nice restaurant and he’s paying and if it wasn’t for him it would be a miserable afternoon. He’s right…it is worth it, right? But rent…the car payment? Fuck it. I’m just going to enjoy this moment. This is my birthday and I’m not going to worry about him not doing what he promised he would right now. I’m just going to feel special for the moment instead.

 

Sunday Night: Visiting With Loved Ones

I’ll have to make another post for this w/ background info and such…too much involved to add it here.
