Update-3.7.08

Several of my dear friends/faithful readers have reminded me that I haven't written any updates since Tuesday and that they're curious what's going on with Mark. Since I was out of town Tuesday - Thursday of this week, I don't have a ton to report. We talked every day this week (except Thursday, the night I flew home), and every morning this week I've been greeted by a text message telling me to have a great day, etc. Today's message brought a particularly large smile to my face. It ended with "looking forward to seeing you tonight." Hell yeah! Me too!!

As you can tell, I'm SUPER excited for our date tonight - outfit has been picked out in my mind since Monday. :) When he and I last spoke on Wednesday night and we were discussing plans for tonight, I asked him if he'd pick me up "so it's like a real date" (since, as you may recall, I was a teeny bit bummed that I had to drive over to his place last weekend before we went out). He agreed to pick me up "just like a real date" and is going to come by my place directly after work (it's on his way home and on the way to where we're going and traffic between my condo and his house is hideous). I'm really excited to see him!! The last time I saw him seems like a really long time ago.

I do have one crazy story to share (also from our conversation on Wednesday night). It still blows my mind, and it will be hard to tell and maintain the necessary level of anonymity, but I'll do my best. We were talking about how a lot of people today are naming their kids either really unusual names, or really old names. He asked me what I would have been named if I were a boy. I told him, and turned the question back on him. His answer stunned me... shocked me... and still blows my mind 2 days later it's so hard to believe. It's almost too ironic and I've questioned whether he's bs'ing me - but get this: His first name, had he been a girl, would have been the name of my sister. His middle name would have been my name. The initials would have been the same as his initials currently are (which makes me think it was the truth). Does that make sense?!? Does anyone else think that's just beyond bizarre?

That's all I've got for now... hopefully, I'll have a wonderful time tonight and will have a great update to share tomorrow! Is this work day over YET???
