Finally over
I've had quite the week and it has worn we out. My feet are really sore and I'm thinking bed is the best place for me.
I really wanted to go out last night and blow off some steam. Dave went Orlando to see Dragonforce so I had no one to hang out with. I had planned to go dive hopping with Corrie and try to find a new shitty bar we could go to since our former shitty bar decided to start charging $5-$10 cover every night and got rid of all their gimmicks. She told me yesterday though that she had to go to a housewarming party and wasn't going to be able to make it. It wasn't a big deal really because I figured i would just call Jenn since she said she wanted to hang out. So after working 9:30-8 I called Jenn and got no answer. I left a message figuring she'd call back, then called Julie. Julie said she was looking to get out of the house too, so we made plans to go get a few drinks at O'Briens. I started getting ready and Julie calls me to ask if we could make it Sunday instead (no, I have to work early Sun) She must've ate something bad and wasn't feeling good all of the sudden. She apologized and said she'd make it up to me. I was ok with it, but bummed because I wanted to hang out. I tried calling Jenn again and epic fail. I texted Bob and asked him if anything was going on. He said he was supposed to go to Ybor for a concert, but everyone canceled on him. We were pretty much in the same situation. I asked him if he wanted to go grab a few beers. He said yes and he'd meet me at O'Briens. Calls me like 5 minutes later to say that he just talked to Amy Z and she said O'Brien's has closed down (NOOOOO!!!) So we decided t ocheck out this bar in the new mall that they built in Wesley Chapel. I texted Jason on the way because since he is a regular at O'Briens I knew he could confirm or deny this rumor.
me: I heard a rumor that O'Briens closed. True?
Jason; no, and who is this?
I guess that is what happens when you get a boyfriend and stop hanging out at the local Irish Pub every week.
I meet Bob at The Brass Tap. It is packed. And not with annoying college kids, which is a plus. They had about 50 beers on draft. Stuff you apparently can only find in Germany (according to Bob). They had about 1000 other beers. Any kind of beer you could ask for. For me, this is amazing because I'm a beer girl. We ordered 3 drinks. we talked about the new low gas prices, the economy, Guatemala and Belize, and our significant others. It was fun and much needed. I went home and slept in my own bed for the first time in like 2 weeks. I literally can't even remember the last time I slept in it. my bed is 1000000x better than Dave's. I slept great.
I woke up early this morning. I set my alarm for 8:45 and woke up at 8. I called Dave and he was up. we went to breakfast and I went to work for the day. we were busy again, but not as bad at saturday. My feet were killing me by the end of the day though. I couldn't wait to go home. Went to Dave's and headed to Wal Mart because he needed groceries. We went shopping and I picked up Mackenzie's Hannah Montana she wanted for her birthday (finally) We got home, made tacos, ate and now I'm here writing this and talking to Rambo about school and Thanksgiving.
Speaking of Thanksgiving...this year will be the first yeat I won't be with MY family. Dave's family is in from Portgual, so we're heading down to Sarasota to spend the day with them at his parents. The thought of having 2 Thanksgiving dinners made us both want to vomit and the drive is just 2 insane. (they live 2 hours apart) we did it Easter and were exhausted by like 7pm. So we decided to spend Thanksgiving with his family since they came a long way and it might be the last Thanksgiving we will spend together (his grandparents are 87 and 85). They'll all be speaking Portguese and I won't know what they are saying so I'll automatically assume they are talking about me lol. I need to get some Rosetta Stone for sure. I already feel like I'm married.
