My stomach is in a state of HORRIBLE. I would love to blame it on the popcorn from the Astros game last night; but I don't know for sure what started this so I'll refrain from creating a popcorn scare.
It has been singing to me since about 1:45 this A.M. Sometimes it screams like a heavy metal song, sometimes it croons like an old country song. Depends on it's mood.
However, it continuously hurts. It doubles me over. I can't stand up straight. I can't really walk - it hurts to be upright.
It feels like there is a small leprechaun in my tummy with steel football spikes on the bottoms of his shoes, with a pitchfork and probably some killer hair with gel in it. You know, the super frozen hair-dos done up in spikes that look like they could stab you in the eye and cause you to be blind for the rest of your life? Yeah. Joy.

Update on my unclaimed love...
He failed me. He didn't show up tonight. And I miss JMH, really really bad.
I found him!
There comes a time in one's life when one realizes they have found their soul mate.
I have found that time.
Working in the Greeneville Astro's concession stand last night, I looked up and BAM! There he was strolling along in his stunna shades with his friends, drinking a frosty cup of beer. This guy looked just like Chad Michael Murray. From those who don't know who that is...Google him.
His hair, his face, his body...mmmm. Definitely a likeness there. And he had on a UNC Charlotte shirt. Hellloooo, One Tree Hill is shot in Wilmington, NC.
So I stalked him...from my station at the cash register...because I couldn't leave. Until Randy came and saved me, you better believe I hightailed it out of there and forced him to be my stalking partner/wingman/whatever. All I know is that I had my chance to stare at him without looking like an idiot. It was wonderful. wait. Can you stare at someone without looking like an idiot? Let me know on that, I'm curious for answers.
Anyway, I had to go back into the fiery pits of Hades that is the concession stand in the middle of the summer. I was waiting on this indecisive family of little shits when he got in my line...MY LINE. I tried every way in the world to get the impossible family from hell out of the way, while still smiling and trying not to drool. It's tough believe me. But after waiting for what seemed an eternity and then having a line next to me open up, I can't say I blamed him for jumping lines. Yeah. He got his stuff and left while I am still trying to push hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, ANYTHING on this family. Grrrr.
Keep in mind last night that I was the only female in the booth. I was working with a bunch of married men. They could care less about the future marriage and family of me and this unknown person. Ben didn't even bother to get the guy's name. Or his age. Or his number. Or a slightly unrehearsed proposal of marriage for me.
Heartbroken.
I know I'm not going crazy though because as he was walking off with his newly accquired food items, I pushed a guy out of the way and motioned for two teenage girls that I just knew had to know who C.M.M. was. "Do you girls know who Chad Michael Murray is?" Blank stares. "One Tree Hill?" Finally I get a light bulb..."Oohhh yeah!" "Ok, ok. Tell me that guy right there in the gray shirt doesn't look like him." I'm fidgety. "OHHHH YEAH HE DOES....WOWOWWW!" I about jumped across the barrier to beat her loud mouth - inside voices was the least she could have done to keep from humiliating me. "HA! I knew it! Now get back in line."
I never did get the chance to talk to him. Fate wouldn't allow it. And the Astros lost. And I followed him out of the parking lot - swear that was a coincedence. Swear it. I was pulling out and just so happened to pull two cars behind him...and follow him to the red light...where I almost turned right and followed him to his hotel (cause the tag was NC). But I decided that was a little much, even for me, and turned left heading for home.
There is still hope that tonight he will show up again because he couldn't stop thinking about the girl in the concession stand....and it just so happens I am there again tonight. Joy!

Dating
Apparently - I am dating someone. Don't get me wrong - I adore this guy. I am more than thrilled to be dating him; actually makes me smile just thinking about it. However...I had no clue.
I might have suspected since he drove the five hours to come see me one weekend under the pretense of going to an engagement party with me. Or that he rearranged his entire family vacation plans to come and spend most of the week with me at the beach...but...there was no clarification at all.
Everyone has asked me if we are dating, I said I was unsure as to what our status was. There was no DTR Talk (Define The Relationship) so, me being the mature 26 year old that I am...asked one of our mutual friends to find out for me. That way I don't look like a complete idiot. Right? Go with me here.
I have heard NOTHING all day about this since I put her to task - but trust me I was going to ask her tomorrow about it via IM at work. No worries though. In between the texts of, move up here so that you won't get robbed by goons in Hville again - I get "So did Jen ask you about us?"
I responded with, "Yeah she did. Told her I didn't know. I am assuming she said something to you?" (as if I didn't know. I am so smooth sometimes it's astounding, muahhauahauah)
His answer: "Told her I thought we were before the party." Me: "Well that's good to know."
So as of 10:13 pm tonight, I now know that I am dating someone. Everyone can relax now. I know where I stand. ...I think.

Death by soup
Once upon a time, egg drop soup tried to kill me.
and I'm not kidding either.
One day at lunch, I innocently suggested the ole Chinese buffet because while it's not the greatest, there are many worse things in the town that I work. Many worse, or so I thought.
I picked out my sweet and sour chicken, picked the broccoli out of the weird chicken concoction (yes, I'm that girl), the fun crunchies, and decided to get egg drop soup to accompany my meal.
As I am spooning out the soup into my newly acquired soup container, I smell something horrible. horrible. Kind of like being in a port-a-potty in the middle of the desert with someone outside sloshing it around. yeah, that bad.
I figure it was something else, or perhaps the broccoli, because let's face it - even as my favorite veggie sometimes it can smell nasty. Bag up my lunch and head back to work.
Sitting down to eat, I prepare my seat. Napkins, forks, spoon, fortune cookie, soy sauce. And then I open my food and soup. WHOA. There is that smell. Again. I smell the broccoli, thinking in my rational state, that I can get rid of the main part of my meal if necessary and just eat soup. It's not the broccoli, or the sweet and sour chicken, or the crunchies. I lean over the soup and instantaneously I gag, my eyes water, and my stomach clenches up as if to say, "you aren't realllllly going to eat that are you? Surely you are not that cruel."
My stomach had a point. I was NOT going to put that into my body, however, I would share the "joy" with my co-workers. "Smell this - it's gross." And they fell for it. Even though my eyes were in a state of shock, they could see my stomach quivering just thinking about the soup.
I would guess that there was about six nauseated people in the warehouse that day. Not including me.
Wow...age differences
I haven't been seriously freaked out about a guy "pursuing" me in quite a while. I am telling you what, whoever says that age is just a number is absolutely ridiculous...and is probably immature.
There is a world of difference between 20 years old and 26 years old. Different experiences, paths, career goals, future plans, maturity level, etc.
Wanna know how I figured that out? Wellllllllll. Just say that after TWO phone conversations, someone asked me if I wanted to be their girlfriend. Without knowing anything about me, without knowing anything, period.
And then today I find a CD of love songs in my computer at work. Creepy. Just plain creepy.
