oh, me + dana. we are such a funny bunch {if i do say so myself}.
i text her late last night asking her on when and where we were going to meet for brunch {late as in 3am}. amaaazzzingly, she text me back! whaaaaa? dana awake at 3am?! i figured she was at work late but no matter. we decided that we were going to enjoy an eating fest at southport grocery. we had two previous failed attempts {long stories}.
anyhoo, i got up and, again, was surprised dana still hadn’t text me! it was almost noon {snicker}. i started getting ready when the sleepy head threw me a text stating that she was getting up {rare for this typical early bird}. well, the cloud or different planets we were living on this morning {or afternoon if you prefer} caused us to completely miscommunicate!
i’m on my way down ashland, driving along the road listening to some happy tunes when i finally get to my destination. i parked, walked into the restaurant and got seated. i text dana that i was there, in back {as in back of the restaurant}. she texts me, ‘on my way down’. she then calls me, i pick up the phone and she asks me, “where are you?”. which i thought was an odd question! i looked up at the front of the restaurant and i said, “in back of the restaurant!”. dana had thought that i was going to pick her up!!! omg, i immediately felt bad {why? because i seriously do pass her place on my way to the restaurant and could have easily picked her up! duh! i should have!}. she was like ‘no, no…i’m on my way!’. i really did feel bad, it would have made sense!
a few minutes later {she doesn’t live far}, she arrived at southport and we had a good laugh about it! we were so thinking different things and totally in our own worlds, not really realizing our communication got totally mixed up!
we ordered a plethora amount of food. it was hard to streamline our greedy tummies! dana ordered the bread pudding pancakes and hash and i ordered the baked almond oatmeal with a side of bacon. lots of juice, lots of coffee, and lots of water.
in the midst of consuming our delicious meal, i tried taking a picture of ms. dana. ugh, she’s a horrible picture poser! it’s a known fact that this little lady will most likely take a crazy looking photo. i sometimes have to style her. i will have to give her directions on what to do. i have to remind her to not close her eyes. well, today, i was determine to take a ‘good’ photo of her! i finally realized one of the reasons she photographs so cray cray is the fact that she doesn’t stop talking!!! i screamed {well, firmly stated} at her to stop talking and she might actually take a good picture. that worked.
after our late lunch, dana had plans to spend an hour jumping on a trampoline {yes, you read that correctly} and i had plans to do more errands {yaaaayyyy!}.
overall, a successful day. i feel complete. thank you checklist for getting checked off. muwah.
