The Heartbreaker

YB always calls me this, and I really don't know why. I'm SO not a heartbreaker.

I went to my parent's house yesterday to pick up my grandmother. I was on take-home duty. I don't know why that's always a surprise to me, but whatever. Whenever my Mom-mom comes to town, I usually end up taking her home. She likes me the best, so it's cool. My older sister lives about a 1/2 hour away, but she's always too busy dropping off her dogs and traveling to care about anybody else. One strange thing is that she drove by my grandmother's house yesterday when she was dropping off a present to someone or other. She saw my car out front, and didn't stop in. Her loss. I had just gotten back from the hoagie shop and we had cheesesteaks and Italian hoagies all to ourselves (both large!). You know that greedy-gut would've wanted a taste. hee hee.

Anyway, when I went down to my mom's she was asking about Ed and what I see in the future, blah blah. She knows that Ed really likes me, and the earrings that he got me aren't just for girls he likes, but someone he wants a future with. I told her that I know he wants a future together, but I'm still unsure. My family and Ed's family went to a dinner theater on Wednesday night and my mom saw how Ed's brothers are so happy with their wives, and in love and stuff, and she thinks that this is really on his mind because he's the oldest and wants to be happy like his brothers. I told her that I don't think it bothers him that much, but she says it probably does. I have no idea. My dad and Ed's dad talked about Alaska the entire time. They clicked. HA!!HA!!

Back to the story-I told her I didn't really know about our future, and was so glad I got earrings for Christmas instead of an engagement ring because I wasn't ready to make the call. I told her about how all my other friends and people I hear about/talk to were so excited when they get engaged, and how I was freaking out and didn't think I was ready/scared, etc..Of course, being the big baby that I am, I started crying. Then, she hugged me and told me that she didn't know if she was ready to be married either. The only part about her wedding story that I know is that she called my Mom-mom and said 'Hi Mom. I might be getting married tomorrow.' She did go to the courthouse the next day. She told me that she didn't really know if she was in love love with my dad, but 36 years later, they are still hanging out, so I guess it worked. Now I will say that I am like her, and all this love stuff is for the birds. hee hee. We are exactly alike. Of course, her statements and my thoughts still don't help anything, but I guess I'm not alone. My older sister isn't married and doesn't seem like she will be married either. My younger sister is married, and she's a nut, so it's ok for her. hee hee. Her husband is a flake just like her, so they are a good match.

Well, I get in the car to take Mom-mom home and my phone rings. Guess who it was? Ryan. He called me from a state in the west (he's on vacation) just to see how my Christmas was and was telling me about his trip. This really surprised me. I wouldn't think to call me if I was on vacation, but he did. Odd. After a few minutes, I told him I had to go because I don't like to drive and talk, and we said our goodbyes. He even said "hi" to Mom-mom. He's met her before. I told him to give me a call when he gets home, and we'll catch up then.

This is why YB thinks I'm a heartbreaker. I have boys calling me even when they're on vacation. HA!!HA!! Why didn't this ever happen when I wanted boys to call me?
