Wednesday was a crazy day.... I went 24 hours without checking my mail or using Skype!
Got up early only to wait around for a long time for my ride (Cable) to the Bishop's Storehouse. We got lost on the way there and got to the gates of Andrews AFB. I forgot to call my MP friend ahead of time, I wanted to see if he would let me in or talk with him through the gate.
I put in a full day at the storehouse. Hardest I have worked in a long time. Those who didn't know better, knew me as Justin. That was what I put on my name tag.
I dropped a couple items. I think I was the only one. The Bishop, who works for the Church there, did come by and teased me.... only because I tease him....
Got a ride from Josh to the metro where I went to Rosslyn to wait for Kevin. Ate dinner, met some guy from Jamaica who asked for my name and I told him it was George.
He then went off on saying that he has been in the US for two weeks and that he came all this way to tell me God loves me. He first asked if I knew that God loved me.
Well, I thought. I just busted my butt all day at His storehouse. He better love me. Besides, are we talking about the same God?
I chuckled when he told me that I was loved. Great, thought I. Like I needed some whack-o to tell me that.
He kept on his spiel. What, does he want money? Look pal, I don't know how they do this in Jamaica, but here you sound like a raving loon.
I thought Kevin was coming at 6 - which was really early I thought, but waited until about 6:30 when I was going to leave. Well, I just checked. We arranged to met at 6:30 and he called right on the dot.
Good thing I didn't leave.
We talked about Kat, Lillian, etc. on the way there. I "offended" him when I told him I didn't like Ben that much. I'm just jelous I guess.
I could have taken my bag but decided not to. I talked to Kathleen (Kat) while renting my stuff. I wanted to bring up the plan for Saturday but I didn't want her to lie or feel uncomfortable.... It was great to see/talk her though.
Well, I knew both Colonial wards were going to be there, but I was still shocked that it was packed. I ran into Andrew and his wife on the stair case... I swatted him from behind. After greeting me (Andrew's wife was there when I helped clean last week. We met at Travis's going away party before that.), Andrew joked about being swatted on the butt.
"Well," I said. "I could not exactly grab it."
Kristen was there along with a plethora of beautiful women. I think every seat on the woman's side was filled.
I asked Kristen for a ride and was pretty upset she never responded and yet showed up. Oh well.
Anyway, I busted one of the straps on the robe. I was not sure what to do. The guy went and got a new robe... it was not fun having everyone watch me.
The guy asked for 4 women once. Then he asked for a row of guys. I thought he wanted just 4 so I sat there for a second.... I swear people must really think I am slow.
Got a ride home with Warren and Jared. Had I known they were going, I could have changed at home.... and not had to rent everything, bust the strap, etc. I guess I would have missed Kat too. Maybe that would have been OK.
I'm calling her tonight.
