Tis the season

And I don't mean the season for drama, actually. I know I've been out of town for a week, but surely something went on while I'm gone.. guess I'll have to sniff around!

While I was out, Beau continued his obsession with Soccer Girl, even though he was explicitly told to keep away from that mean girl. He sent me texts telling me to talk him out of messaging him, no dice.  And Laura didn't return any of his texts, even though last week she GUSHED about HOW EXCITED she was to see him over the break. She is a known flake who lives in Texas... and loves to string poor Beau along. Last year he went to visit her in Texas after much encouraging by her... and when he got there, she introduced Beau to her boyfriend. So rude.

I'm preping for an interesting next few days- my friend Callie is visiting from Chicago. She comes down every year for New Years. I'm really happy to see her of course, but while I'm stuck at my day job she has a habit of trying on everything in my closet, and then discarding it on my floor and bed. Jewelry included. And she's a complainer. So I'm totally going to be exhausted til she leaves Wednesday.

AND my kind-of former bestie Natalie is probably going to be up to visit, at least for the New Years party. She used to be my bestie in college, but we grew apart when she went to Georgia to go to Pharm school. While she was there, she met this absolutely asshole, Steve, on a dating site. He was homeless and couch surfing at the time, and it wasn't long til he moved in. And then started telling Natalie that she was worthless, and would never do any better than him. Natalie is not a small girl, so she doesn't have the confidence she deserves, even though she is super smart and pretty. Anyway, I despised the guy, til he HIT her. Then I hated him. That bastard seriously thought it was ok to punch someone he claimed to love. He then went crazy and got Baker Acted that night., but Natalie refused to press charges, so he got released after 2 days. Nat claimed that she and Steve were over. And then she got a job and moved to North Tampa. But a few weeks ago, I found out that not only were Nat and Steve not over, she had moved that no good loser down to Tampa, and he was living with her again.  We haven't actually really talked since I found out, mostly because I'm so mad at her, I can't stand it.

Ok, I'm tired. Back to work. But before I forget, turns out there was nothing going on between Lilly and Ben. I'm totally disappointed honestly.  But there is always next week!

Can't wait to see what trouble develops on New Years Eve!

Never a dull moment

Last night we all went out to dinner for Casey and Lilly's birthday. It was so much fun, with only a little, mostly good-spirited, ribbing of people. Casey was even nice to Peter which was unexpected because they are NOT friends, although Lilly was a little mean to him, which is so unfortunate because Peter is really into her.

So, forgot to share, but Ben got engaged this week to Cassie. Squeeeeeal, right? Except they've only been dating like 7 months, so it was kind of strange. And they are still totally in the honeymoon portion of their relationship. And the engagement was sort of an accident- they were on Skype teasing Cassie's mom, telling her that they couldn't see her on Dec 15th because they were getting married. But then when they hung up, they were like, why shouldnt we get married?! Voila, engaged.

Anyway, we have all noticed Lilly and Ben being very flirty lately, giggles and tickle fights and going off into dark rooms for massages... well, Lilly went to Casey last night and told him she had some big reservations about Ben getting married. So Casey set up a dinner date with Lilly for Friday night, so he can try to wine and dine her and get the dish out of her! Things could totally get interesting!

Btw, on the Mina front- Casey is going out for drinks with her on Friday night. So yeah, that's still totally going on. No idea where Kelly is during all of this. She lives with Casey, so I'm not sure how long he is going to be able to keep it a secret.

Can't wait til Saturday morning to get some new gossip!

Double timing

OMG, Beau told me his story. And seriously, my jaw dropped. So, his juicy tidbit? Last week, after going out downtown after tailgating, Beau went with Mina over to her house. And had a hot and heavy makeout sesh. That's right, the same Mina who is fooling around with Casey behind Kelly's back. Beau wasn't positive about Mina, cause she's a bit of a crazy Brazilian, so he didn't sleep with her, but the opportunity was totally there.

And Casey is still talking to Mina, although he says it's more difficult to see her, now that Kelly is hovering around, trying to work on the relationship. My guess, Casey will keep Kelly around til January 3rd, then kick her out. 

Til the next exciting segment!

Off Again, On Again

Ugh. So right before Thanksgiving, Casey and Kelly threw in the towel, and Casey asked Kelly to move out. But apparently Kelly turned on the water works, and convinced Casey that she is TOTALLY going to change. Uh huh. And Casey gave her another chance, that sap, right?

Consequently, Aria was out a roomie, with a lease ending in less than a month. And no too happy about it because she was excited to move into a bigger place with a yard for her puppyface, which is a lot less affordable without a roomie. Also, Kelly decided not to tell her that she and Casey were back together until after Aria had rearranged her schedule to look at houses.  But more on that later.

Anyway, Casey told Kelly she could stay, and they would 'try again'. Except, what Kelly doesn't know, is Casey has already started screwing around with Mina. But it's a total secret, almost no one knows. And he doesn't expect things to work out with Kelly, he doesn't think their differences are reconcilable. But he doesn't want to deal with her during the holiday party season, cause he knows she will be a total bummer and he'll have to skip parties and quite frankly, this is the easy way out. He told me though that he is only giving her til the new year, then if things aren't roses and rainbows, he's saying goodbye again. The question is, what's going to happen with Mina in the mean time? My guess- Casey is going to keep seeing her behind Kelly's back, and it will be total relationship sabotage. But I guess I've been wrong before.

Back to Aria- she ended up signing a lease on Sunday with her sister, Lea, and Lea's husband, DumDum. I mean Brad, close enough. I mean, I know Aria was desperate, but this is total suicide. Since getting married, Lea has turned into a total drag, almost never shows at anything, and when she does leave early. And Brad is the laziest thing I've ever met, and that includes Danica's dog, who sometimes has to have a bowl held under his nose since he doesn't like to get up from the couch during dinner time.  Hopefully things will work out and Aria will get to continue the fun and host her amazing parties, but I'm not holding my breath.

Guess that's it for now. Although I have been promised a juicy story from Beau the next time I see him, and I'm sure it will be blog worthy!
