OMG!

I had a super surprise visitor this last weekend. I almost pee’d myself.

As many of you know (if you didn’t, please take notes) I hate surprises. To clarify, I am not talking about gifts :o), stopping by my work, sending me flowers, etc.; that is great. But, telling me to not make plans for the weekend and not giving me any idea of what to expect; I can’t handle that. And if it is anywhere in the category of going away for the weekend or having friends over (in my house), OMG! For real people, I need to prepare. I need the house clean, clothes washed, the frig stocked, beverages for pete’s sake, the dog washed,and so on. Unless, you do all of that for me. I am WAY too nosey and obsessive to be left in the dark about something like that.

So to continue, HE told me a week prior to keep last weekend open, ok fine. HIS plans usually do not require me to freak out; HE just isn’t that creative and has no friends, so I usually don’t panic too much. However, I awoke Saturday morning to him texting. Then going outside to make secret phone calls. Then giving directions. OMG! WTF!

Turns out Gretchen was coming (insert moment of tinkling all over myself) from Louisiana for a visit. And yes, she would be staying with us. You better believe I flew the house like an idiot, still in awe, straightening up. I could not believe HE didn’t know any better than to either ‘prepare’ for me or let the freaking cat outa the bag; even if just the tail.

She arrived (insert another tinkle) and all of my stressing was gone. Was it really her?!? I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t let her go.

We hopped in the car and headed to her favorite Mexican place. Then to the drag for some 'shopping'(and Gretchen, I have a list of a few more 'stores' we have to go to). Then to the bar.

We spent the entire day catching up and laughing so hard we hurt. By the time we made it back to the house we were spent(she had been up since the AM driving, but alcohol may have played a small role as well).

A few (by that I mean 3.5) hours later, I woke her up to head home.

Here is glimpse of our weekend.




So thank you HIM and Gretchen, for the best surprise weekend EVAH!!!!
