An Interesting Gig

I went to lunch with my Mom yesterday, her and my Dad are flying to Hawaii right now (jealous)...Anyway, we had some good conversations..

First, she asks me about my date the other night. I started laughing...I'm thinking "I didn't tell her about this...where does she know this from?" but low and behold she's my friend on FB...woops! So I tell her about it, she starts laughing and was quite disgusted really. He came into work last night and I blew him off, so I think he got the picture.

So my Mom tells me that my Aunt wants me to come to Chicago on Aug. 1st to run a 1/2 marathon with her. My Aunt (Cindy) knows that I am unhappy with my weight and that I'm very unhealthy, and she's been trying to get me to run everyday like she does. She lives in Wisconsin tho...so she really doesn't know if I'm running or not. Although, I'm sure she's not stupid :) Anyway, she's kinda bribing me to go, saying that if I'm serious about it she will pay my $110 entry fee, my plane ticket to Chicago, and my hotel room. She really wants me to do this with her. I think it would be a great accomplishment on my part if I could run 13 miles! So I told my Mom yes, I'll do it. Shannon is going to help me train for it, I think she's actually going to go with me! So yeah, hopefully I can find some motivation deep down...I bet I'll feel a lot better about myself!

Another thing my Mom told me was that a lady she works with is very determined to hook me up with a guy that works with her husband. She keeps telling my Mom that we'd be great together and that she wants us to meet. So I told my Mom to text her and get his number, that I will call or text him and chat with him sometime. So she told the guy (Ryan....of all names) about it and he said he thought it was a totally cool idea and that I should text him. So I guess I will...I have no idea what he looks like, or anything...so I'm a little nervous. All I know is that he has a nice truck, his name is Ryan, he says what's on his mind, and he cusses a lot. lol. My Mom told her friend that the cussing wouldn't be a problem with me! She also told her friend that I have bad luck with Ryans...and I guess that's why she has never told me about it till now. It's just a name right?! I think I'm going to wait until Monday to text him, I know he said he was working all weekend so there's no point in trying to get together.

Anyway, that was my Friday...interesting huh?
