There's something in the air today. I don't know what it is, but from the time I woke up this morning, I've just felt kind of...jittery. Like, my hands feel like they should be shaking if I were to extend them to look at them, but they aren't. My gut feels nervous/excited and full of anticipation, and I have no idea why. Something's brewing.
I hope it doesn't suck.
Yesterday I hosted a game afternoon with my mom, Seester, Pal, and N. N was not expected to play games, but he joined us for several of them before reverting back to video game mode. It was a pleasant surprise, even if he DID target me on everything, which caused me to be slightly pissed. But it was all in good fun, right? Anyway, one of the greatest things about my Pal is that she always has so many bizarre games. We played BS (N's pick), then we played Dutch Blitz (I always yell "Blitzen" because...why not?), and continued to be multi-cultural with a German card game, followed by a game that was all about sushi. It was awesome! I haven't seen my Seester in forever, and it was good to get a little time with her, even though I hacked my way through the afternoon and my voice got more and more hoarse. My BIL is "deployed" to Baton Rouge for the next 6-12 months, so Seester is referring to herself as a single dog mom. Oh, that girl! We're planning some Seester time in June, and attempting to coordinate that with some Daddy-Daughter time, too...so I'm pretty excited about that!
Meanwhile, one of my friends asked me to come out to see a band in a neighboring town last night. When I took my Pal home, I decided to make a quick trip over to see what the hype was all about, and I am SO glad I did! They were really good, with a seriously huge repertoire of songs from all the genres. I didn't hear any country, but sometimes that's okay. As awesome as the band was, crowd watching was even more entertaining. Or terrifying. My friend said she was a great dancer...from a chair and from the waist up. Me, too! I knew there was a reason we were friends, and NOT just because it embarrasses my precious treasure! There were a few songs she rocked out to, and I met her with a deadpan stare and a, "Was I alive?" (In case you were wondering, I was NOT alive for some of them, but there were only a few I didn't know.) I sang along to Journey and Blackstreet and Eminem and just stared at all.the.dancing. It was a good choice, even if I did blast any small piece of my voice that I had left, and potentially fried my corneas with images I will never be able to unsee.
I woke up this morning to a text message that made me smile...and then stumbled blindly to the coffee pot. I opted for a full pot instead of instant gratification with my Keurig, and then wondered why it takes so long to brew a pot of coffee? Seriously. So. Long. I upped the boldness on my brew (perhaps that explains the weird feelings I'm feeling today), then made hash browns and bacon for when my man-child woke up...holding off on the eggs so they wouldn't be rubbery. We had a leisurely morning and I've spent the day (so far) watching baseball and reading a book. FOR FUN. My brain is whirring in eleventy-seven directions, but that's cool. It matches my gut.
I'm not sure what's going on with all that, but like I said...I really hope it doesn't suck!
This week is going to be great! There are three baseball games during the week, I'm surprising N with something midweek (his dad is my co-conspirator), and there's a baseball tournament this weekend...AND it's a long weekend...AND then there are only three more days of school.
We've got this!
