Date Night
I'll start off with the follow-up to my date ad that Cyterica posted for me. Tuesday ended up just being a Kristen and Teri date night. We couldn't find the place where they were having to author come speak, so we gave up our hunt and settled for $5 Pizza Night at Joe Momma's Pizza (which is right by where the Booksmart event was supposed to be). I ran into a friend that I worked with at Hideaway Stillwater, who works at Joe Momma's now. Her manager approached Teri and I and asked if we were interested in applying to work there. I told him I was leaving soon but that Teri's been looking for a job. She filled out an application, interviewed on the spot, and went in the next day to be offered a job on the spot. How awesome is that!?! We were so excited because we had just been talking about how much fun it would be for her to work there, and she mentioned that she'd applied there before. She goes in tomorrow for her first day on the job! Yay! Good things come to those who wait.
Dance Night
Thursday night, I had to work but Teri cam and got me afterward and we went dancing with a bunch of her friends. It was so great. I haven't hung out with people that love dancing as much as I do in aaaaages! Andrew was kinda my date and we danced together a lot. It was fantastic. Brotha can break it down, and he's a fun-loving guy so it was definitely a good time. After going to the District, we went back to Andrew's house for an after-party, which was a wildly good time. We danced to the entire FMFC Matt&Kim/Jay-Z album, and we didn't stop dancing until about three in the morning. I stayed the night at Teri's, then we woke up (with dead legs because I dance for about five hours straight), showered and went to breakfast with Andrew and Bobby, one of my new friends through Teri and Andrew.
The Rest of the Weekend...
was really interesting. There were lots of ups and downs. I had to work a double on Saturday, and I was still totally dead from going dancing, so it was rough. I slept REAL good that night though, and woke up yesterday morning and got ready because Teri and I had plans to make some stencils. (We're determined to be the next famous street artists, like Banksy, so we're practicing now).
As I was getting ready to hang out with Teri, my dad called to me from downstairs and said he was going to have my step mom take him to the hospital. He said he felt really confused, couldn't remember where he worked, and felt like something was wrong. So I made him take some Aspirin and sit down, while Nonna finished getting ready. They left, and I didn't want to sit at home and worry, so I called Teri and told her what was going on and she said she'd be over to pick me up in a bit so we could go shopping. We went to the Goodwill here in Owasso, and we both got some really awesome stuff. I lucked out though because I found a pair of black-and-red-floral Original Dr.Marten's for $8.00. I also got a Schwinn t-shirt, a black long sleeve shirt that says "My Mom Rocks", a chocolate brown corduroy skirt, and a beautiful leopard-printed cotton wrap skirt. I got it all for 26.00 even... which is why I LOVE going thrifting!
I got back home around 2:30, and Dad and Nonna got home a bit later. Come to find out, he had what's called an AIT, which is basically a mini-stroke. It's caused by a blood or plaque clot in the brain, which repairs itself. It's still brought on by stress, and high blood pressure.
They did a CAT scan and saw that everything was fine, but he has a follow-up appointment with his physician tomorrow to get him on medication for his high blood pressure. He decided to give up his political endeavors, which I'm really happy about. I hate what campaigning does to his nerves, because that stress always finds its way into the happiness of the household.
After I found out he was okay, I went and hung out with Teri again. We got our art supplies from Walmart, ate at Chili's (where Andrew met up with us), then went to Teri's parents house to make our stencils. I made a cupcake with hearts around it and "XOXO" above it, Teri made one that said "R.I.P. Revolution In Progress", and Andrew made one of America with a bicycle layered over it. They all turned out awesome so we spray-painted them onto a piece of canvas that Teri had at her house.
This is how it turned out:

| Awesome. |
After we finished our stencils and painting, Andrew and I drove around Catoosa and North Tulsa going through each other's music selections and singing along to the songs we both know. We did that for a while, then went back to his house "The Estate", where Andrew and a few of our mutual friends live. Bobby, his girlfriend Alyssa, and a few of the guys were watching "Daybreakers", which is a sick vampire movie, but very well made. Then we watched the Naked Gun, which I had never seen before. But it was positively hilarious. I had a really great time hanging out with them, and I'm glad I have the chance to before I leave for Basic. They're really fun people, and Teri is a wonderful friend. I'm so glad she's in my life, as well as my new friends. :)
