My birthday weekend was great and I spent all day Sunday with my mom, dad, and Tyler my brother. I am going to skip the details of that and fast forward to my Monday and Tuesday. “Rachel” is in town from Austin. She is my oldest friend. We met when we were 5 and have stayed close all these years. Jennifer also an elementary school friend and has been hanging out with us. It’s nice having our group back. “Rachel” has been here because she and her boyfriend broke up after 3 ½ years together. I know what that’s like because this is what happened with Jessie and I. Same song different dance. I am really happy we can be here for her right now. Let me introduce to you “Ross”he went to middle and high school with us and has been in LOVE with “Rachel” since 8th grade. That is the short story of us so now I can explain my plan. “Ross” went to A&M and “Rachel” was a Longhorn at UT. They have both just graduated and haven’t seen each other in at least 2 years. I told “Ross” last Thursday that “Rachel” is newly single. What do you think he said? “So you’re saying there’s a chance?” OMG! I am very excited. “Rachel” has been asking about him so this is the perfect opportunity to reunite them. I saw the look in “Rachel’s” eye when she asked what he was up to and the tone in “Ross’s” voice says that he still thinks about her. It is the Matchmaker in me and I just can’t help but try and set them up on a casual lunch date. I hope it all works out. Everyone including “Rachel’s” mom thinks they are meant to be. I can’t wait to find out.
I went to Razoo’s with “Rachel” and we met Jen up there because she was bartending. Then I noticed the most random thing. I was watching ESPN Classics American Gladiator, the single cheesiest show on TV. Directly in front of me was a guy late 20’s rubbing his Fu Man Chu and drinking an obnoxiously big Pina Colada. I thought it was great. Then I walked across the restaurant with a napkin stuck to my shoe. What a day it was!
