Got to talk to "my guy".
And while it was exciting and what I had been waiting for ALL day, what made it better was that we had a conversation about my night guard. I mean seriously? He thought it was "very cool", seriously?
I mean he gets lots of kudo points for that comment, but to be that interested in my night guard?
I dont get it.
I mean Im flattered.
And I think its hilarious.
Partially because I've never had to describe my night guard before.

Waiting room
Tomorrow, I mean later today, my mom has knee surgery. Its the same knee surgery that my dad had last year and my grandma had before that... an no I dont THINK its genetic, but if it is, then I am up a creek with no paddle.
Anyway, tomorrow is another trip to the hospital. Another time to wait. To watch the morning news shows and to be the stability for the parent who ISNT under the knife.
Thats what I pride myself in being- my parents' rock. Whenever we have to go to the hospital for whatever reason- a heart issue, a knee surgery, a uterine surgery, the birth of children, grandma has fallen, I do my best to be the rock. Thats not saying that I dont need support from others, because honestly sometimes it would be really nice, however, my role in this family is to make sure everyone keeps it together- and that might be a self-appointed role.
There is one exception to that rule- when no one is around. If I am the only person at the hospital waiting for the news, then, then I fall completely apart.
Hospitals dont scare me, they dont make me nervous, they just dont have any negative effect on me at all.
To me a hospital is just another building.
I dont know why I'm so comfortable in a hospital- we didnt become familiar until I was 11. But my dad had his heart attack when I was eleven and over the last 12 years he's been in and out, at first it was heart attack scares, then it was the SVT, but dads last hospital trip was his knee surgery last year. Mom has been healthier, shes only had the uterine surgery May 2010 and then the knee surgery tomorrow. My dad's mom was in the hospital a few times in the year leading up to her death. As for me, I've never been in the hospital- maybe thats why we get along so well.
Anyway, moral of the story is that tomorrow is another hospital adventure.
Side note: Talked to a certain special person tonight, and I will be going to bed a happy person. :)

It's bedtime, but I dont wanna go to bed!
Theres a person in my life. I dont know if I mentioned him earlier in the summer or not, but basically we went to high school together and we've reconnected thanks to my sister in law posting a picture of me that also tagged his brother in law's brother.
Anyway long story short, we've been talking- a lot.
In fact Saturday night I stayed up talking to him til 5:30 in the morning. It was crazy, but it was so much fun. I cant stop smiling- seriously, its kind of obnoxious.
I know I am probably getting ahead of myself here, but I keep thinking of the guys in my life who meant something to me- you know, guys who had the potential of being more than just a friend. And the bottom line is that none, not a single one of those guys communicated with me as well as this one does. I send him a message and he answers seemingly as soon as he gets it. He apologizes for having to 'brb' when we are talking on fb- the brb though is so that he can go do his work. I mean, you dont have to apologize to do your work when you are at work and talking to me... although its very sweet. If we are talking on the iPads and he loses internet connection, he gets on fb to tell me that he lost connection on his iPad. And Friday night we watched a movie together- I watched it via Showtime on my tv and he netflix-ed it and synched up with me so that we could watch it together, I mean seriously? He didnt have to do that.
Now, I only have one problem. We've been chatting on fb and the iPads since mid June. I'm ready to see him, hang out with him. But its hard because he works 3rd shift and I work first. He works every other weekend and I dont work any weekends. And apparently he's super popular and has all kinds of plans on his off weekends so far. *sigh*. But I am not giving up! Also, kind of an interesting fact: we've not exchanged phone numbers. I mean technically we both have our numbers accessible by the other person but we've not actually exchanged numbers- which I find kind of cool, and kind of weird at the same time. I mean really, we are having this great friendship on fb but we dont text or anything?
And the only downside to our talking more and more, and really its only been since we talked until 5:30 am Sunday morning. But now I want to talk to him all the time! ALL THE TIME! Im trying to keep my cool, but its so, so very hard. I'll try to keep you updated.
Oh, in other news, my friend that I visited in DC in May called me Monday. A phone call, after pretty much no contact since I visited him! Hes starts basic training with the Army next Tuesday. I'm happy for him, a little annoyed at his communication skills, but happy for him and thankful that he called me to tell me the update- that counts for something right?
(Its not NEARLY as good as responding to me asap, even if its just a quick note because hes using his phone to get on fb)
I guess I shouldnt complain too much, and just take what I can get! lol :)
Goodnight friends.
Here's to hoping for more late nights! :)
