Everything has been falling back into place... it feels. I've been happier this past week for many minor reasons. And it feels really good! For one, on Monday, Florence and I patched things up between us by going out to dinner at TGIF, where we were able to bond again. It was good quality time with Florence because we were able to have a heart to heart talk and just open up and be honest with each other. That's what I value in a friendship. And I can do that only sometimes with Florence. So we got to talking about the cruise, and Dan, of course. For the first time, Florence outright told me that she doesn't think she likes Dan very much. That she's finally decided that she doesn't like him as a person, especially from the way he acted on the day we all went to Running Aces together, and she also blames Dan for my decision to drop out of the cruise, which I made sure I clarified that the decision was mine alone. However, even though it doesn't surprise me one bit that Florence finally decided to tell me she actually didn't like Dan, I guess I am taken aback by the fact that my friend doesn't like my boyfriend and it was stated to my face. She was extremely cautious about telling me too, so I appreciate that she was also trying to be considerate but also was able to be honest with me at the same time. I don't know what I make of it. I am actually not surprised at all because I guess I've always assumed that Florence doesn't like Dan, I was always able to pick up on it. What does this mean to me? I really don't know yet...
So I've gotten a little off topic, what I wanted to talk about was how glad I am that my friendship with Florence isn't burned like I thought it was. She was very understanding, and even told me that she knew I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her... That's great to hear from her. Because I do feel understood as a person when she can see that in me.
This Friday, Nikki, Florence, and I are hanging out and we're going to hit up Elixir to party and get a bit tipsy. It sounds fun. I can't wait to go out and just party a little. I kind of miss that life. ..Maybe the single life. I just want to have a little fun. Feel confident about myself again. Feel sexy again. It's been a long time for me... And I'm really glad that of all the friends I have to go out with, these two friends would like to hang out with me. The two people I admire. It feels great. :) I feel valued as a friend by the two friends I want to keep in my life.
In other news, I have recently decided to join Irene as her running partner to run a half marathon (13 miles) for the Fourth of July Twin Cities Marathon. I am soooo excited!! I actually have ALWAYS wanted to try running either a marathon or a 5K run, and this is a great opportunity for me! Especially because it is not quite a whole marathon, but close enough! Half a marathon is quite a feat! I have under two weeks to train for it, this is going to be challenging because I have not run in over a year or so, let alone anything over 3 miles at a time. So this is going to be a challenge, but an exciting challenge to say the least! I started training today, and guess how much I ran??? 6 miles!! I have never run that much in one time! It sure felt amazing after I finished. I really pushed myself and I am damn proud of myself. Especially for running for the first time in a looooong while. Wish me luck on the rest of the week!
Yesterday was Quoc's birthday. I think it was a good birthday for him. We took him out to Perkins for dinner, and afterward, went to see Toy Story 3 in 3D. It was such a funny movie. I loved it. And I'm sure Quoc did too. Then we came home and blew candles out for the cake. I'm glad I was able to do something for my brother for his birthday. I think he deserves it.
Last but not least... THE IPHONE 3.1.3 UNLOCK IS FINALLY OFFICIALLY OUT!! I have been waiting close to 5 months for this to come out!! You don't know how LONG it's been!! I am soooo happy and uber excited!! Dan is going to unlock my iphone for me tomorrow. I want to do it as soon as possible before Apple does something to ruin this opportunity! I am sooo excited!! I finally get to use my iphone again!! :)
