Hey Dan :wave:
{{hugs}} for the Sunday night blues.Hi gang!
Got the Sunday night blues.
Jo, if you're around do you watch Sonny With a Chance? How friggin' cute is Demi Lovato? I'm telling you Disney is genius...how do they come up with so many good shows?
Well thank goodness for that! Mine was alright. I have a cold.Here I thought I was going to make it through this pregnancy w/out getting sick.
Other than that just anxious to see what happens at work tomorrow...
Ok, so you're home. STORYTIME!
Hi, guys (and gals). I know, it has been a looooooooong time. Things have been so busy for me. But I am getting through it. Work is extremely busy since I had taken over the office. My case load is higher than it really needs to be, but what can you do?
So, she got those wings out of the dumpster?aw. I'm sorry to hear that steph!
Okay story... again it's not great... and i feel like it's going to be a flop, but my buddy was texting me today like "oh my god that was so legendary" hhahahaha
So we leave the bar at like 2, and i'm staying the night with my buddy because i drove over there to go out with them, so instead of going back to my place it just made more sense to stay there so i didn't have to find a way to get my car today. So it took us like 20 minutes to get a cab, like 15 bars letting out in the one area and when we get in the cab my buddy is like "okay where the heck are we gonna get food??? Wings is closed, i just called, and this girl Laura said they're closed"
(anyone who's ever been a little drunk at two a.m. knows all you want at that point is food... so this was a big deal)
Well it's like... roughly 2:15ish, they closed at 2. So i call them... and I'm like "Hi Laura, it's joe."
And I spent FIFTEEN MINUTES on the phone with the girl at a Wings place, just sweet talking the HECK out of her. But being VERRRRRY gentlemen. and she kept being like "oohhhh you are suuuuuuch a sweet talker huh... you think you're pretty smooth aren't you?"
And I was like "Laura, I am a sweet guy, yes... but I am not just a "smooth talker. I didn't talk to a single girl night tonight because I knew... none of them were the one for me... there was no chemistry like you and I clearly have. It's like I knew I would later on meet the girl for me"
then went on to my Romeo and Juliet line... "have you ever heard of the story of Romeo and Juliet? Well like them we're star crossed lovers... and fate wants us to be together... one day we will be." And she was laughing HYSTERICALLY... She literally is just dying laughing at everything I said. And I said A LOT.. again, it was a FIFTEEN minute conversation...
Meanwhile, three different times she picked up one of the other lines and just said "Wings, sorry we're closed." And she's like "see!! You're clearly smooth... I just keep hanging up with other customers, but I am still on the phone with you." and I was like "because it just feels so right doesn't it Laura?"
And so then I'm like "see I'm really not that creepy, I'm just a romantic at heart, and I know a caring girl when I talk to one..." And she's like "Oh I can definitely tell, I've had some complete A-holes call me, ask me for my name for facebook... ask me for my cell phone number." I was like "Laura... I'm not like that, we're going to take this slow... tonight I was just hoping you could help me get a meal in my stomach... I'm not going to be pushy or scare you away..."
So again, more and more and more... and finally she's like "okay, where are you? How soon could you get here... I MIGHT have something in the back I could give you guys..."
So, he lived legit a block away, and we happened to be right in front at the time at a light, so we had the cabbie pull into the parking lot... I ran out and the place was locked but I could see her through the window... So we waved to eachother and smiled... and then she said "okay, meet me out back" so we met out back...
She had an order of wings... on the house mind you... and I gave her a big hug and told her how happy she had made me... and I KNEW I made her night... she said I definitely did. Then after I hugged her she was like "wow, good you really aren't a creepy... I thought you were gonna make a move I was still a LITTLE nervous you were kinda creepy... but you really are just a nice guy..."
And so I kissed her on the cheek and I said "maybe just a little something for your troubles... I'm sure I'll be calling you again sometime." And she laughed HYSTERICALLY and that was that...
hahahahahahhahaha
Now... I know that's not THE BEST STORY IN THE WORLD...
but my friends were just in DISBELIEF... like... oh my god you got us wings how the heck did you do that... they had been closed for a half hour by the time we got the food... it was LEGENDARY!!!
See... so going out with me can definitely have it's benefits!
aw. I'm sorry to hear that steph!

OH! I think I've heard of a neti pot, I'll have to see if I can scope one out. Meantime, I do have some euchalyptis (sp?) oil maybe I could drop some in hot water and steam my face w/ it.Hey girlie! Thanks for the hugs! Loved the elephant pic...only in New York!
Actually, i had a REALLY bad cold my first tri with Jack...I was so ed and miserable because I couldn't take anything. The congestion was the worst part.
So, I drank a bunch of beers and didn't even notice that I was sick!
No, actually what I did was call the health food store. He recommended a "neti pot"...it's one of those nose flushers that you fill with salt water. Really gross but it did help a little. And that's all I've got!
"All forms of eucalyptus oil should be avoided by pregnant or breast-feeding women because of its known toxicity. It is not clear if eucalyptus oil is passed to babies through breast milk, but there have been cases of infant deaths from taking eucalyptus oil by mouth."
Now that IS a great story! :lol:
Aaaaand now I'm hungry for wings. :lookaroun:slurp:

Glad you're both doing so well! Has George been feeling good then?
Hee.
I've missed you all so terribly. I just have to keep my eye on the prize if I am going to graduate.
He is, his kidney quit working temporarily, it was really scary for a few days, but things are going great now.
