Update...

I was able to talk w/ my D on Saturday night after I got home from the driving range. I then ate dinner and went out to meet up w/ my friends at an Irish bar. There was a great little two-man band there, called the Stones, who were covering all types of songs from REM, Led Zeppelin, Squeeze, Elton John, the Beatles, Wings, and others. They were really, really good and the time passed quickly. Before I knew it, I had consumed 5 pints of Guiness and it was 2 am. However, it was so much fun to get out of the house and have a good time.

I slept in until 9:30 on Sunday, then I met up w/ my good friends from Seattle who had been down for the week in Sedona. We met for brunch and then I led them to the airport. Before I left home to meet them, I sent an e-mail to W's mother wishing her a happy mother's day, then I sent a text to W telling her to enjoy her special day.

After my friends were gone, I called my family for Mother's Day, then laid on the bed to watch some baseball. Well, I got pretty groggy and dozed in and out all day. D called me around 2:30 as she was in the car w/ W. I asked her if she had called W's mom to wish her a Happy Mother's Day and she told me she needed to do that and that she'd call right back. Well, she was true to her word as she called back about 5 minutes later. After we talked a bit, she hung up and then started to send texts. They were just letters, but cute nonetheless. I sent texts back to her and she called me again to talk about the texts. It was so incredibly cute.

I pretty much lounged around all day and called D at the usual 7:30 to say goodnight. We only talked for a minute as they had company over and I didn't want to keep her. After that, I did get a few phone calls from friends, but ended up watching "Fly Boys" and going to bed.

I'm still waiting to hear from W on my request to have D w/ me when we return from Tahoe at the end of the month. My request is for less time than W will have w/ her in Indiana, so I'm hoping she doesn't stone-wall me on it. However, if she does, it will only go to reflect poorly on her part, so I'll have to take some small consolation from that.

Well, I'm going to try and catch up w/ everyone's situations later today as I only have to read some evaluations and correct one class of Economics finals.
