Hello Everyone! Welcome to a blog that I have no idea what to do with. But, after reading others blogs and laughing at what happens to them in their daily lives, I knew I had things to add because I feel like lately my life has been crazy. Everyone knows me as a girl who plans everything, has Excel spreadsheets for bill due dates, and would rather spend a Saturday night at home curled up on the couch with a book (blame my mother for that :)). In the last few months or so, I think I have come out of my shell a lot and its been a pretty hilarious process at times. There may be some new exciting things on the horizon so I can't wait to share those details, if they happen. I'm sure the next few blogs will be full of funny stories and past experiences I have to tell you about, including speed dating, exes, exes friends and online dating. Yes, speed dating and online dating.. Don't judge because I've met some great guys and have some fun stories.
First, lets start with this weekend. Went nothing like I had planned. Surprise surprise. I talked to my mom a few weeks ago about coming up this weekend to apartment hunt. My lease is up at the end of September and I have to tell the leasing office by August 1 if I am staying or leaving. Being a single lady with student loans is tough. Being a single lady with student loans and trying to be independent and live alone is tougher. So, I decided to look for anything in Fishers, Carmel or Noblesville that's cheaper than what I'm paying now. After lots of online research, really I'm getting a pretty good deal where I'm at. Even with rent going up $20 a month in October if I stay. Still decided it was worth looking at a place in downtown Noblesville if mom was coming up. The rent was much cheaper so the prospect of saving $$$ was very exciting. Set the time to see it and mom was on her way up. Then, I get a phone call while running through Kroger after work on Friday. The guy who was supposed to show the apartment to me called to say he thinks he may have already rented the place. Uh awesome.. Glad I called to set an appointment time for you to give it to someone else. He said he would call me 1 hr before the time I was supposed to look at it Saturday to let me know what's going on. At this point I'm not even sure how much I just spent at Kroger and I feel like crying because the last 2 weeks have kicked my butt and I have no back up plan because for once, I didn't think I needed one. Frustration was putting it mildly. So I hurry home and pull up apartmentguide.com (which is really helpful if you are ever looking for an apartment). I find 2 places in Noblesville that have 1 bedrooms that are cheap enough to warrant the pain of a move. Because the price was cheap it also made me a little skeptical so when mom got here I said we should go look at them on a Friday night to see what kind of people live there. I am so glad we did that. Both places were a total bust. Dad would have never let me live there alone and if he did, he would have had to buy me a gun. Not really money saving there. So this weekend was a complete waste when looking for a new place but mom and I got to hang out and shop on Saturday since the guy from the apartment never called back. I'm down to 8 days to decide whether or not to stay where I'm at and have no idea what to do. The thought alone makes me want to have a panic attack... So, I'm choosing not to think about it. :)
Saturday night my friend, who we will call Fred, decided to come up and visit for a party his old neighbors were going to. He sent me a text saying he was coming and would stop by and pick me up on the way to the party. Awesome! After being completely lost on what to do with the apartment situation, I was ready for a beer or 10. For a little background, Fred and I have known each other since college. Each one of us have always been dating someone and the timing for us has just never worked. (There are some other complications with Fred and I, but we will just act like that doesn't exist for now.) Well, since I have been single for years... literally.. And Fred is single, I find it interesting that I have seen him 3 weekends in a row. I think that totally has to be a good sign. So, he stops by to get me and of course looks gorgeous as usual. I already know that maybe the 10 beers should be limited to 5.. over 5 hours. But, off to the liquor store we go! A case of Bud Light and a 6 pack of Miller Lite later, we were off to an evening of corn hole, beer and a band. The whole night was exactly what I needed. My attempt to be the DD totally failed for the 2nd weekend in a row- which is really unlike me since before I felt the need to take care of everyone else. So we ended up staying with Fred's old neighbors. Waking up this morning in someone else's house was not how I thought the day would start. But at least we could sleep in for a bit and we stopped to get Dunkin Donuts on the way home. Every time Fred drops me off at my apartment, it's odd. How do you say bye? 2 weekends ago was an awkward hug, last weekend I just hopped out the truck and said "See ya later". Today, I jump out and say "Uhh... Thanks for last night.". Seriously... I said thanks. Nothing like continuing to keep things awkward. At this point, I have no idea what is going on there. Just more dancing around the obvious I think.
That's all for tonight and welcome to my blog about a single girl and all the random shenanigans that go on when you live alone and try to date, when you really suck at dating. My Monday morning will start out with an 8am trip to the dentist. Nothing like starting out your week with some fillings and a numb mouth!
