When in Rome…………

This post has nothing to do with the title but I couldn’t think of anything catchy to name it. Perhaps I should have left it blank. Oh well, who cares.

So, in the midst of updating you guys on some of the shenanigans going on in the life and world of AR Gal I forgot one of the juicer items. Remember this? Good Lord in heaven I sure hope all of you (who were reading at the time) do because it took me FOREVEEEEEEEEEEEEER to find it in my archives.

Sidenote: Going back and reading some of the older posts and comments was fun. There are quite a few bloggers I need to check back in on to see what they are up to.

Long story short, (used to be) Ace Boon Koon and I are back on speaking terms again. It's not by any means the same relationship we once had but we've been talking off and on for the past few months. Our 'reunion' was a quite the random one. If someone would have told me that we'd run into each at Tarjay during my lunch hour, I would have said nuh uh and called 'em a big ole' fat lie. As life has it, that's exactly how it unfolded.

I didn't see her but she saw me from behind and called out my name. Even in my shocked state we hugged like old friends. And, we talked for a long time. Inside the store as we found our purchases and outside in the parking lot. We covered a lot of things but kind of skimmed over whatever it was that caused us to go our separate ways. She apologized as did I. I'm still not totally sure I did anything wrong but it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Ya know, just in case I did.

That's pretty much it. No Lifetime movie here. We're friends again. I guess that's the right way to describe it. Maybe we just associates now. I'm not sure. Maybe I'm over thinking it. I guess it will come to me\us in time.

Space Age Pimpin'

The phucknuttery has begun. I checked FB this morning and found this gem in my inbox:

I haven't seen this dude in well over 10 years (and had no interest in him romantically whatsoever) so I really have nothing to say therefore I will not be replying. I've been down this road before. A response = an open invitation to mack. I ain't wit it!

As a special mention, please note the spelling of always as two words. I can't ................

Just in case......

.....you feel like you can't take one more second of work this week, just remember IT'S FRIDAY!!!

Press play as many times as needed to help get you through those rough patches.

Preacher's Kid (aka PK)

While typing the previous post, I remembered that PK had tried to get in contact with me recently. I received a call around September or October last year from him while I was at work. Normally when I get a message from someone unfamiliar, I just hit the erase button and call it a day but it was something about the voice I heard that made me keep it.....well that and the fact that I heard my full name. The message as it played out basically said he was looking for me, stated his name (which I couldn't understand), and said that he would call back at a later time. I listened to the recording he left repeatedly for days and could not figure out what name was being said or who the voice belonged to. I even made Z listen a few times to see if he could decipher anything. After about the 5th day of trying to figure it out, I finally struck gold and heard the name ......Preacher's Kid. I literally screamed out loud because the mystery had been solved. I also figured out the reason I couldn't understand him is because when he stated his name some noise was interfering (it kind of sounded like someone was talking over a loudspeaker) and he didn't repeat himself.

After calming down, I then wondered...what the hell did/does he want? I wish I could tell you but he has yet to call back. I must admit I was initially bummed out because curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know what was up and how he was doing. I haven't laid eyes on him or talked with him in like 15 years and it would be awesome to catch up. Random thought.....every time I refer to something in the past using double digits like that I feel old as hell. Anyway, I know that he got married not too much longer after he split from our hometown, lives in NC (or was the last time I heard) and had a couple of kids (gotta love the small town grapevine network). Oh well, for what it's worth I hope all is well with him.
