The Applebees Saga Continues

So here we are my friends. Another night at Applebees with the girls. First off, let me say how thankful I am for my group of friends and our regular Applebee meetings. Sidenote: maybe Applebees should pay for all this advertising they are getting on this blog. Huh...

Anyway, the night began with me walking in late and on the phone. I had a player in complete breakdown mode--the night before the district championships. Fantastic. I was on the phone with her, trying in some way to calm her down. I walk into Applebees saying that she should talk to my best friend b/c their personalities are a lot alike - meaning more the emotional type than I am. Kim ends up calling her and 10 minutes later, the world is right again. I was on the phone for no less than 20 minutes. I called one other player and that phone call took less than 10 minutes and all things were worked out so I don't feel like a complete failure. haha. Just kidding. It continually cracks me up how unique we all are yet how similar some of our personalities are. Furthermore, the way some personalities just work well together and how some just don't, well that is amusing, my friends.

Once we got past that drama, our conversations were not really that exciting at all. Seriously, nothing to write about for about an hour of the whole night. We are just that boring. Wooooo!!!

However, before you are all completely disappointed, Kim managed to salvage my blogging night by mentioning in passing that she doesn't like chocolate. Erin just about lost it! "I'm sorry. This is unacceptable. I don't know how to process this." Verbatim. The rest of the night basically consisted of this conversation, something about Kim's look and practice for basketball and ended with Kim just about being responsible for putting Erin completely over the edge by saying she doesn't like watermelon either. Erin is "deeply disturbed" and probably will need some sort of counseling. Maybe a night with nothing but chocolate. I'm sure the friendship will survive, though deep down who knows if Kim can ever really be trusted, due to the fact that they are in on some tag-team conspiracy for my upcoming birthday. I keep getting small updates on how it's coming along. Which brings me to my final point: It is illegal to give status updates on how a surprise is coming along. It kinda ruins the whole thing...instead of anticipating the surprise, you start to just want to get it over. Well, the gloating doesn't help either.

Ok.... first of all, the talk yesterday about the mission I was on had nothing to do with your birthday.
Second of all...... I dont really have a second of all but I just to be fair, I can be trusted and the gloating I did at the beginning was really just cuz I was scrambling to figure out something for you birthday.
Just felt that there should be clarification.

thanks for the clarification. It was much needed (stifle snicker).

And i'm fully aware what yesterday was about. I was amazingly amused by the level of excitement you showed. haha
