yikes! i haven't posted anything! thanks for reminding me bryk!!
i am sunburned as heck right now... laid out from 12 - 1:30 and, eh, wore a bikini... erin doesn't "do" bikinis... but, i got one yesterday at kohl's and i figured that no one would be at the pool except the lifeguard chick... so all was swell... was about to fall asleep and all of a sudden i hear "hey" near me...
that couldn't be someone talking to me could it? i mean, my eyes were closed.
"hello!"
oh mother of pearl, yes, someone is talking to me.
i open my eyes.
it's a guy.
jeezuz maryann jophus.
my first instinct was to sit up and grab my shirt... but, eh, being a novice to the bikini, i really, eh, couldn't do that gracefully, so i decided against that... mainly because, eh, the girls were acting pretty squirrely in it and were just itching to jump out of the damned thing...
so there i was --- laying in a gaddamn bikini --- and a guy is there... yapping away... not for nothing, but i have no clue as to who he is...
"how long have you lived here?" says he.
me: "technically eleven years but i was gone and came back"
him: "oh wait i thought you looked familiar... are you the girl with the dalamatian and you used to draw on the basketball court with chalk?"
me: " wow, yeah, that was me... that was about 11 years ago though"
him: "yeah i was 10 when you did that"
god help me. ten. so he's a freshly turned 21 year old boy who i am trapped in a malfunctioning bikini talking to...
half a bloody hour he stood there talking to me... and while nice and all, i just wanted to sleep and turn over and get my back toasted (yes, once again, i am brown/red on the front... pasty irish on the back) but no... i had the sun glaring at me as i had to keep my eyes open and looking up at him... so my friggin' eyeballs are burnt...
anyway, sweet kid... but, dude, come on... i had to get up and say i had to go out shortly after that... and yes, i sat up, grabbed the tummy fat with my left hand, the girls with my right, did a body check and grabbed my shirt and slid my shorts on in record time...
and skidaddled.
later on - around 4, i met up with my friend carol and this guy dave - at the driving range, hit a bucket (no. not 200 golfballs) and had a couple of beers and bs'd...
went home, tired, sunburned, light tipsiness (but not really b/c i had a bunch of pasta in me from lunch) and got some chinese food and hunkered down onto the couch til now.
that's my friday... tomorrow'll be cool - supposed to head out with my friend lynda, don't know if to the UL or to this new place the river house in brielle....
that said... think i am gonna pass out now - might try to hit the driving range tomorrow... supposed to actually play on the course with carol this week... it'll be my first time - god i hope i am good out there - otherwise the tournament in september may prove to be an embarrassment :)
