Webster University, Ruby Tuesdays, and Beige Paint

I know that I haven't written here in awhile, and yes, I'm sorry for that. I tried to update on Thursday but the site was down, and I was really just too tired to update yesterday. I wanted to write about Wednesday, and how I randomly became a part of Schnuck's softball team for a day and led them to victory (or at least stood at 2nd base pretending I knew how to play), and about us getting lost on the way to the game, and about trying to teach James how to dance to Frank Sinatra. But maybe the site was down for a reason, and maybe the sadder aspects of that night aren't supposed to be written about.

On Thursday, I was granted permission by my mother to drive to Webster University to hang out with John. Which meant that I had to drive there by myself, from 94 to 364 to 270 to 44...it was crazy. I'll admit that as I was driving there I was so nervous that I would get lost and end up in Oklahoma that I practically reread the directions every 5 minutes. I once got off the wrong exit but was able to get right back on 44 so it ended up all right, and I found the university without having to call for more help. It was a fun night, I got to meet all of John's friends and we walked around the campus and watched downloaded reruns of the 1960s TV show about Batman. Driving home was scarier than driving there because I couldn't read the directions unless someone was shining their headlights into my car, so I pretty much had to follow my memory and the street signs.

Last night I went to Ruby Tuesdays with John (he wanted to take me out to dinner). Although it is pretty much the same restaurant as Applebee's and Friday's, I thought it was really good, and we had a random crazy waiter who kept refilling my glass practically everytime I took a sip. I had a great time! Then we came back here to hang out and wound up falling asleep on the couch, which was really funny because we woke up reaaally late and he had to go. But he's coming over today for a little while to help my family paint. We're painting that montrous blue wall in my family room beige (ick, so neutral...but then again, we are trying to sell the place). I've already helped with the painting, but it bored me easily (all I got to do was help with the primer) so I'm pretty bored right now. I'll probably end up having to do some more though, so maybe I'll go hide in my room where they won't find me. I've got to go now though (meh, they've found me before I could escape!) so I'm off to go help. Tonight is a mystery to me, but I think my mom wants to do a whole mother-daughter-y night thing, so we'll see how that goes. Tootles. YNatalieY
