Channeling Carol-Ann: I'm baaaaa-aaaaack!!!

You missed me- admit it- you missed me more than words could even express....


The trip to Pittsburgh was a success. There wasn't high-end excitement. A lot of talking, laughing, and hanging out. Relaxing. It was great. Highlights of the trip with PPE worth talking about would be: seeing Friday 13th on Friday the 13th, meeting the main cast in PPE's life (S&J and TWAH, the new guy PPE just starting dating), a Valentine's Day Tri-date (as TWAH was calling it). Most of the extended weekend was really just hanging out watching movies and chatting.

Friday 13th...HORRIBLE movie. I know that there is virtually never really a "storyline" with slasher flicks, but this one really, really, really, really didn't have anything. At all. Pro- Jared Padalecki. He's yummy- not as yummy as his Supernatural counterpart, but yummy. And there were so many pop outs- that I looked like I was having a continuous seizure for 90 minutes...and that's with me closing my eyes when I knew something was going to happen. PPE seemed to be amused by the flailing.

Cast of Characters: had dinner Thursday night to meet S&J and TWAH. Actually everyone was meeting everyone- the only common denomenator at dinner was PPE. S&J- are a couple that PPE spends a lot of time with and TWAH, as I've mentioned, is the new flame. It was great putting faces/names together after hearing so much about everyone. The conversation flowed easily during dinner and there was lots of laughing. And apparently the S&J liked me so much that they told PPE the next time I'm in Pitts...I'm staying with them, not him. However they did mention something about a doll collection and dinner, and I have an irrational doll phobia, so that won't be happening anytime soon.

The V-day Tri-date: First off let me say that I'm typically not one for the V-day celebration, not because I'm a bitter, single, 29 year old chick (woman sounds weird, and girl seems even odder)...but it's too Hallmark, and I don't like the fact that there's one day designated on the calendar of when you are supposed to be uber romantic with the person you are dating. SO the tri-date... I was totally taken aback that TWAH actually had gotten me a V-day gift, super sweet and totally unexpected. He took me and PPE to Mt Washington too see a look out spot to see downtown Pitts, and to show me there's more to Pittsburgh then McKnight Rd (a large shopping mecca/street that PPE lives off of and hardly ever leaves)...he also drove us around various areas of the city. We went to lunch at Point Brugge Cafe, which was totally delish!! We did a little cosmic bowling (I didn't do to shabby: 83, 95, 85 which is fairly amazing for me, poor PPE didn't do so well and TWAH kicked our butts with breaking or getting close to 100). And we saw Coraline (great movie!!). Pre-TWAH, PPE and I were talking about seeing My Bloody Valentine on V-day...I'm kinda happy we didn't, due to the 3D nature of the film, and I wasn't ready for another seizure. Then we went back to PPE's for some sparkling wine and more chatter. Again the day was filled with great conversation, laughter and company.

I'm really happy that I went....and it wasn't me and PPE talking back and forth about making a trip happen. It was also great being able to converse freely with out limitations of texting. Now, I just need to get his ass out here to the lovely desert.

Also- I suck and didn't take a damn picture at all on the trip. OOPS!!
