Weekend in Review

Saturday morning I got a call from Nick’s mothers cell at 7:00am asking if I could go into work “RIGHT NOW” because the girl that was supposed to work the morning shift had just gotten into a car accident.  I had only had about 4.5 hours of sleep but I couldn’t exactly say tell her, “no”.  I got up took a shower, did my makeup in the car (I KNOW THIS IS DANGEROUS) and got to Talent by 8:00am.

The coffee stand already had about 3 cars driving around like vultures waiting for somebody to open so they could get their usuals .   I was an hour late when I got there  and EVERYBODY had to ask a million questions and then the following conversations started with EVERY SINGLE CAR THAT CAME THROUGH FOR THE NEXT HOUR: how come you are opening so late?  Because Katy was in a car accident but she is okay, I don’t know what happened because I didn’t ask. I don’t know if her new car is okay, no I’m not NEW here I work the evenings, my In laws own the coffee stand.  Yes that makes Nick’s my husband.  Yes I enjoy working here,  yes it is nice to get the tips, thank you for being so patient, now what can I get you?

I eneded up staying till about 3:00pm.  Nick came and brought me something to eat and come work the next few hours for me.  I needed go home and take a nap so I would not be tired and have to cancel dinner plans with our friends.  I would have to say that working the morning shift was nice because I had $60 in tips by the time I left.  People tip a lot better in the AM.

I got home and immediately got in bed.  I had been desperate for sleep from the minute I got the 7:00am phone call.   I woke up at 6:30pm, got ready and my sweet husband asked me if I wanted to go to Macey’s and Old Navy to buy some new cloths. DUMB QUESTION.  They are my 2 FAVORITE STORES.  I was stoked!  I bought a necklace and a pair of jeans from Macey’s but didn’t feel much like looking around for things I really needed like shirts and shoes.  I was still feeling sluggish.

Old Navy was not much better, I walked from the front to the back of the store about 2 or 3 times before a table of colored shirts coughs my eye.  I grabbed 3 that looked pretty and met nick at the register.    About the time we were done it was time to meet Jay and Meg at the Outback for some dinner.  I was starving and decited that I wanted prime rib.  It was pretty much amazing and dinner was a lot of fun.  We laughed the entire time.  After dinner we went to Barnes and Nobel to look at books and take a friend some of the leftovers so he wouldn’t starve.  We stuck around till he was off at 10:15pm.  At this time it was pouring rain (which canceled our prior plans to go to the Mt.) and were still looking for something to do.  We pretty much said fuck it and lets all go stand in the rain up at the Mt. around a huge fire regardless of the weather.

By the time we got up to the Mt and made our fire it was nearly midnight.  To our luck the rain had let up to just light mist that easily evaporated near the fire.  We had amazing conversations about life and about the paranormal.  Josh told us things that made the hairs on our neck stand up.  We decided to leave after we had all scared ourself and it was after 2:00am.  The drive back down with my husband was nice.  We discussed our night and what our favorite “scary stories” were and how our night was.

It’s nice to have friends that are adventurous and willing to take risks to be together.
