So, on the way into work this morning, I was writing my journal entry in my head. It was talking about how much last night and this morning just sucked. I had to change clothes 3 times this morning. From head to toe. Not because I wanted to, but because I had to. I’ll spare you the gory details about why, but let me just say – all clothes are now in the washer and I hope they are not ruined.
I have a doctor appointment on Friday afternoon. As a few of you know, I’ve been having this problem with losing vision in my right eye. It comes and goes. I keep trying to blame it on stress, but it’s really starting to worry me. I almost wrecked because I couldn’t see and that freaked me out so I finally broke down and made an appt. SA is going to take me. Heh, gotta love Leo’s. I told her what was going on and she said “I’m going with you. Where do you want me to meet you?” How can I argue with that?
But, as I was standing in my regular gas station this morning making my cappuccino, a couple of interesting things happened to me.
1. I had a really good conversation with someone very dear to me. She always makes me laugh.
2. I realized it was almost time for Pumpkin Spice cappuccino – THE BEST cappuccino in the world - to come out again. It’s a seasonal thing and it breaks my heart every year when they stop making it. Maybe I will see if they will sell me a bag! Yay!
3. As I am making aforementioned cappuccino, this lady making herself some coffee says “Good Morning” to me. I smile and return the greeting. I see her in there fairly often – she must work nearby. Anyway, she then proceeds to say, “I don’t know if you’d ever be interested” as she hands me a piece of paper, “in getting together for coffee somewhere other than the gas station.” We laugh and I smile. She walks me out to my car and then gets in her car and drives away. I don’t know if I’ll call her, but she obviously had it plotted out because she already had her number written down.
And, to top it all off, on the radio this morning, one of the girls is getting to know this hardcore Christian guy. They were making fun of them and Kelly Raspberry says her dad used to say this to her:
“If you walked into that bar and Jesus was standing there, what would you say to him?”
Haha! I love that show. Personally, I’d say “Crown and Coke or 7 & 7?”
Man, I loved this episode. When Donna is in Amy’s chambers with the letter, and reads it, and Amy jumps up and screams – that seemed so genuine to me! When she tells her “You have the yellow brick road in front of you, but you won’t leave munchkin land.” Awesome quote! And lemme tell ya, I feel for Peter. What do you do when this woman that you still love but have some unresolved issues with and think just isn’t right for you does something sweet and understanding and takes you by surprise? It’s hard to keep telling yourself how wrong she is for you when she is being nice right now.
When Kyle is saying that he won’t have anything to do with the kid, and Maxine starts listening – I get goose bumps there. I just *know* something is about to happen. When she went off on him, “Don’t you abandon him! I deal with lost kids every day and I won’t find him for you!” Yep, I’ll admit it – the tears were there.
The only part to the whole episode that really seemed contrived to me - the scenes with Amy and David. Normally, I really like them together – but eh, they just weren’t doing it for me this time. But, I was feeling Amy’s pain with him being away because he needed to take care of something. When she is excited that he is back, and he holds her and tells her “We can be together in a year…” the look on her face…broke my heart. Great acting.
