Connections

A funny thing happend at work today. This old man came in to the Inn for a room (duh) and he was asking about this restaurant down the road. He asked if it was any good, and I told him honestly that I didn't know, I hadn't eaten there yet, but I had a friend who worked there who said it wasn't bad. He teased me, asking if the guy was a liar, if I could trust him, and I said that he was a good, christian guy, and I could trust him. He laughed and said I was lucky. Slightly confused, I shrugged it off, and the man went out to get his luggage from his car. He comes back in with these two books, "The Bible Promise Book" and he says that they are for me and my BOYFRIEND!! I started laughing, but didn't have the heart to correct him!! I just laughed and thanked him. He said they were separated by topic and so that if "we" had a fight, I could look up anger, and I could tell him to look up forgiveness. I laughed again at that, and he left.

It was just too funny to think about me and this friend of mine dating! Granted, he IS cute, and I used to have a crush on him, but honestly, all of my friends have at one point. Then you get over it and he's just a good friend. This guy is a theatre geek, and plays the part! I think he's been compared to like having a gay friend who isn't gay! (He is definetly straight!)

I facebooked my friend and told him about what had happened, and can't wait to hear what he has to say about it!

In other news, there was a lady who came in talking about how she was missing her shows. I asked her what shows she watched, and she said Bones, and Grey's Anatomy. I used to watch Grey's every week, and LOVED it, but when I got to college, I never had the time to watch it, and I told her this. She informed me that someone was supposed to get shot tonight, and she thought it would be McDreamy. I told said again that I hadn't been able to watch any of this season, but hoped McDreamy would be okay. She came back some hours later and was like, "Do you want the scoop?" I was like YES!! So for five/ten minutes we stood there and chatted about Grey's gossip! It was so much fun, just chatting about a favorite TV show with a complete stranger! She updated me on what had happened, like Meredith and Derek getting married, Alexis breaking up with McSteamy, and dating Carev, and that Heigl (spelling?) wasn't on there anymore, and that Meredith had found out she was pregnant, but then with all the stress from the shooting at the hospital (tonight's episode) she had a miscarriage (because McDreamy was shot! BUT he got through surgery successfully. I think if they killed off Derek, tons of millions of women would be so mad!)

That's my story for tonight. It just got me thinking about the connections you make with people in the oddest ways, ways you never would have expected with people you never would have thought. I run across so many different people at the Inn, I thank God for putting me there to work, for however short or long a time, for the simple reason of people that I meet.

Off for now, its late, and I want a bowl of cereal. (That's one of my quirks, I eat cereal really late at night. Its good, you should try it, its like getting a jumpstart on breakfast).
