We went to Target first to get stuff to put in the pinata. While we were looking at stuff in the $1 aisle this guy walked past us at least 3 times and I know he totally checked me out once. Ok, let me paint a picture for you, Mid-30's, button down shirt, clean cut, khaki pants, wedding band, not creepy looking in the least. Then he talks to me. He asked me if he could and I said um, ok. And then he proceeded to give me his card and tell me that he is a freelance photographer and listed off 4 or 5 magazines he has been published in for his hot rod shoots. He tells me that he thinks I have the look to be one of his retro models for an upcoming shoot. Ah, at this point I'm looking around for cameras that are telling me this is all a joke. Me? Model? Seriously? Is this guy blind? Or on crack? He seemed genuine, talked to me about his family, told me I could bring friends with me to the shoot if that would make me more comfortable. Wow. So I took his card and I have looked at some of his stuff, but I haven't emailed him yet. I will be doing that though. I'm intrigued.
Katie and I got some awesome stuff for the pinata. Then we went to Walmart to get more stuff and return bottles. While we were there I got my own key to 409-4. I feel special. Even though the key is pain in the ass and I hope I never need to unlock the door in a hurry! When we got back Katie and Justin played tennis while I worked on our bracelets. After tennis, Katie went to work and Justin and I started the Bucket List (the movie). Part way through the movie, I got a text from Ryan (a friend of mine from high school) asking if I was in Kalamazoo. Turns out he was as well and wanted to have dinner with me.
So Justin and I went to dinner with Ryan. We had Chinese. I LOVE Chinese food. And Ryan and I caught up. It was so funny talking about me in high school with Justin. I am no where near the same person so the two of them know very different versions of me. Putting them together was rather hilarious for me. We spent a couple hours at the restaurant with him. When we went to leave I realized I was locked out of my car, yet again. My battery had died in my remote unlocker thingy and my key has never worked. Luckily, Walgreens was right across the street so we ran over and got a new battery.
We made it back just in time for Marc's pinata - potluck going away party. Marc was Justin's roommate. The pinata potluck meant that everyone had to bring something to put in the pinata. It was rather interesting the assortment of things that came out of the pinata. Everything from wine stoppers to candy to rubik's cubes to a bra and underwear set. The party was a success. When it was winding down we all decided to go star gazing at the park. Justin and I decided to go ahead since half the people were on the phone with a friend and the other half were still upstairs. We told them to meet us there, well they never came. When we got back I asked what happened to them and Jake told me that Marc and Ben had went ahead and told everyone not to go because there was a homeless person in the middle of the park. Homeless person = Justin and I under a blanket because it was freezing! Dummies. We hung out here for a bit longer then went to bed.
