Things That Have Happened Since You Last SAW me. . .
I billed 30 hours in 3 days. I'm tired.
I went to a wedding that almost wasn't. Because it almost wasn't, the already sparse numbers of the intimate gathering dwindled further, leading the bride's mother to announce to us at breakfast Saturday that we weren't allowed to eat again until dinner, cause she'd paid a lot of money for dinner. This led me to call in reinforcements, the food-loving, ability to put it away like you wouldn't believe. . .TJ. He drove in to the rescue and endeared himself to the bride's mom (he'd already endeared himself to bride and groom by helping them move into their new place. . .incidentally, 5 blocks from mine).
The night before the wedding, I drunk dialed TJ repeatedly. He didn't seem to mind, and apparently, we had a 40 minute discussion. I remember having it, but can't at all think what we talked about for 40 minutes. Apparently, I continued to tell him that I "hearted" him and also say things like "Hey I have to tell you something. . .no, no, I can't. . ." Did you ever see SNL do "drunk girl"? That's TJ's impression of me. It makes me laugh. He said he hearts me too though. It's kind of "love" lite.
At the wedding, TJ pulled ME onto the dance floor to dance to slow, romantic songs half a dozen times. . .as well as a few fast ones.
TJ rubbed my feet at the reception, cause I was tired of dancing. The very amused photographer took a picture. (Have you SEEN it? It's above.)
TJ was very sweet, loving, and kind to me for two days, and he has continued to be totally loving to me via phone, text message, and email this week. Maybe this "new man" thing isn't such a bad thing, if his head leads him to the same place as his heart.
TJ snuck two cards into my car and luggage when I went home, one "I'm sorry I was a jerk and made you feel bad" and one "I miss you so much when we're apart, and even though we can't be together, I feel very close to you." Yes, the cards were that specific, it's a new line of insanely specific cards. He signed one "Love."
No insane crazy serious discussions this week, just "I miss you, can't wait to see you again," "what did you do today?" "guess what I heard," that kind of stuff.
Apparently, I am still going to meet his parents on the way to Miami for Labor Day. A 32-year-old man doesn't introduce a girl to his parents unless it's a big deal right?
PS How cool am I with the photo blogging? I've decided that you folks either don't know me at all and who cares if my picture is posted to the internet? Or you do know me, and you've SEEN me already! Plus, I just LOVE this picture.
