Confirming My Insanity

Wednesday afternoon Tawny flew in, and what a weekend we had. Wednesday night John, Tawny, and me headed down to the Bedford gym for a run. Afterwards we ran to Sobey's for some groceries and then to Blockbuster to rent a movie. Upon entering the video store, I happily called hello to a guy I know from school. The three of us went about the store picking out movies. There's a sweet deal on now that if you buy two previously viewed movies you get one free. Naturally, I couldn't decide on three so I left with six. When we got to the checkout I happily greeted the same guy. I proceeded to babble on about how I was buying SIX movies, three of which I haven't even seen. A few moments later I looked at my watch and said "Only one more hour until you're done work!" At this point, Tawny looked at me, leaned in close, and muttered, "Do you KNOW this person??" I looked at her and immediately exclaimed that yes, I did know this person. I wasn't some psycho that talks like this to people I don't even know! We didn't end up renting a movie, but I bought Transamerica, Sideways, The Matador (all of which I'd never seen), and The Illusionist, Step Up, The Last Kiss (all of which I had seen).

After a lot of laughing, we left Blockbuster and headed to Burger King so John could get a Whopper. Pulling into the parking lot John mentioned that it was Whopper Wednesday, you can get a Whopper for $1.29 or a Jr. Whopper for $0.99. Tawny and I were going to get a Jr. Whopper, and John was getting two Whoppers. But before I could pull up to the drive through, John frantically said wait, that first we had to get confirmation that it was Whopper Wednesday. So I pulled up to the speaker and went to order, but then I stopped and went to say "Yeah, I'd like confirmation that it's Whopper Wednesday", but before I could finish saying Whopper I just started laughing. And anyone who knows me will know that when I laugh really hard I sound like a crazy person. So Tawny and I are sitting in the front and we're both just roaring, and the poor Burger King guy is just like, "Whopper Wednesday? It sure is!" At this point I've been able to calm myself down but I totally forgot John's order. He told me what I wanted, but the drive through guy heard it. I went to order my food and could barely spit it out. It was by far the hardest I've laughed in a really long time. If you don't find this story remotely funny, you're either A) Dead inside or B) I suck at telling stories and you might have had to been there. Either way, the three of us found it pretty halarious.

And now it's Sunday evening. Time went ahead last night, I'm sick, and Tawny's gone back home. It was a fun weekend, lots of time just hanging out. We went to visit Tina and her kids yesterday. I must say that I immediately fell in love with Chili (short for Red Hot Chili Pepper), who is so sweet and docile. I'm probably going to take a bath, do some preparation for my quiz tomorrow, and then snuggle up in the living room for a night of television.
