OK, this was one of those loooooonnnnng weeks!

First of all, I walked around most of Wednesday morning thinking it was Thursday.

Then, I spent most of today thinking this was a three day weekend. That's not until next weekend. UGH!

Tomorrow, I plan on making myself feel better with some serious retail therapy! lol!

The day Ginger Snapped part 27

“So, what happened after you left the diner?” Brent begged me to tell him.

“Quit trying to change the subject!” I yelled into the phone. “My life is a YouTube joke because of you and your blog.”

I could hear Brent laughing and I wanted to smack him. It’s a good thing we were on opposite ends of the country or I probably would have.

“Ginger, have you actually watched any of the videos? They’re great and the girl who plays you is pretty cute.”

“Are you kidding me? Is that supposed to make it alright?”

“Ginger, you’re kind of famous now. It’s only natural that people would do something like that. Enjoy the laugh while it lasts. Pretty soon someone will post a new video of their cat or their kid or their drunk uncle and everyone will forget about you.” Brent said trying to calm me down.

“Well, if you’ve got an uncle, please get him drunk and video everything he does because I’m ready for people to forget about me.”

“I’ll do that, just for you. Hey, did I tell you that Alden called the bar the other day?”

My heart stood still for a moment, but I tried to sound cool when I answered. “No, I was so busy yelling about YouTube that I don’t think I’ve given you time to tell me anything. What did he want when he called.”

“Girl, I think that guy has got it bad for you! Did you really leave New York without telling him good-bye?”

I took a deep breath and tried to sound casual. “I didn’t realize I had to tell him good-bye. Besides, coming to California was a last minute decision and I didn’t know where he was and I was afraid of missing my plane.”

“Mmmm…and is there a reason that you haven’t answered or returned his calls?”

Yes, there’s a reason! He’s amazing and I like him and I’m afraid to let him know because I don’t want him to leave the way every other man in my life has.

“I don’t know. I mean I’ve been busy. I got a message from him, but I didn’t know what to say and I had to take that bus tour and…”

Cutting me off, Brent said, “Ginger, just call the man.” There were several moments of silence that Brent broke by asking if I was still there.

“I’m here, but heading up to northern California tomorrow. I’ve got another ex who is apparently living somewhere in the middle of no where.”

“What about Jeremy? You still haven’t told me what happened after you left the diner.”

“Nothing happened. He drove me to my hotel and I got out of the car. He wished me luck and I did the same to him.”

“So, where does his tally mark go?” Brent urged.

“He’s happy and sane so I say he gets a tally on the winner side of the board.”

“Ouch, I’m sorry.”

“Thanks, but don’t be sorry. He really is a nice guy.”

“Yea, but that means you’ve got one more winner than you have losers and no one is getting a free drink this week.”

“Brent, some things in life are more important than free drinks.”

“Who are you and what have you done with my friend? She knows that nothing is more important than free drinks!”

I laughed and told Brent to give everyone a hug for me before hanging up and going to bed.

I can't believe I didn't tell you...

I can't believe I didn't tell you that I actually got up last Saturday and cooked breakfast. I made bacon and eggs with ham, cheese and green onions and they weren't completely unedible.

The bacon was mostly unburned and even though most of the fillings were on the outside of my eggs you could tell that it was supposed to be an omelet. There was a definite fold in the eggs!

I was so excited!

My neighbors weren't as excited as I was when I went next door to show them my plate.

How was I supposed to know that they were still sleeping?

Here's an "OOOOOOhhhhhh!" story...

Download wordart here

Monday while my class was on the playground I had a bunch of kids run up and tell me that something was wrong with one of the girls in my class. I looked over and saw that she was sitting away from the class and all by herself.

I walked over and asked if she was Ok and she quietly answered yes. I then asked what she was doing and this was her beautiful answer......

I'm just watching God move the clouds.

Admit it-----you said "OOOOOhhhhh!"

I wanted nothing more than to sit and watch with her, but she was having a moment and I thought it was best to give her some privacy.

If you get a chance today, sit outside and watch God move the clouds. I promise it will make you smile!
