Sometimes You Just Need A Cookie

Life After Wenham

Ok, so I have finally recovered from my "vacation" to Wenham. I saw "vacation" because it always seems like when I go there I escape all my problems and just have fun for however many days. The only problem is I come back BEYOND tired because of course Ash and I stay up way too early and for some un-godly reason we always wake up early. So I worked yesterday and I rested all day today. Which was Nick Pistorino's 19th Birthday....wahoo for NICK! Happy Birthday! Anyways, so let me finish up first with my trip to Wenham.

While Ashley worked on Wednesday, Me and Court went to the batting cages in Middleton. It was a lot of fun, but it reminded me how much I hate batting cages sometimes. They are spastic, and they don't allow you to read the pitch until its too late. I will stop venting now because anyone who took the time to read this just said...."What the hell is he talking about?"

Ok so as odd as it may sound, I loved hanging out with court because I almost see her as my little sister I never had. She is just so awesome, and I actually see a lot of myself in her, which is probably a big reason we hit it off so easily. The best thing is when she does stuff that younger siblings just do. I have to constantly remind Ashley that everything she does is because she looks up to us, especially Ash. I know what I am speaking of, I am a younger sibling myself, so when I steal my brother's stuff or hang out with his friends, deep down inside, it's because I look up to him. Anyways, in conclusion, Courtney Perkins is awesome, and way too much fun.

So when Ashley came home, we met up with Meghan Elizabeth Flynn and I was introduced into the secret society that is..."The Starbucks Talks". We had a wonderful discussion and I said goodbye to Meffer because I wasn't going to see her again.

When we got home, Ashley packed and I watched ESPN Classic Homerun Derby 99. Great derby. While Ash was packing I roamed around downstairs and eventually saw the massive bed that I was going to be sleeping in that night. Mrs. P had blown up a Queen size air mattress for me to sleep on, It was like sleeping on AIR!! Haha...get it....ok moving on. It was a little piece of heaven if I do say so myself.

Well then that brings me to Thursday July 14th....Our 8 month anniversary. Wow...thats all I have to say. I just honestly don't know where the last 8 months went but hey, I'm not complaining.

Well it came time to part ways and leave Wenham behind for the time being. I went home and finally passed out for a good 12 hours. Worked 2-10....and then it got interesting.

Now, ill let you all read Ashley's blog to get the real story about what happened, but here is my censored version. Heh.

So Ashley is up in Maine for her annual 10 days girls weekend featuring Chuck Perkins. So she calls me and we talk and well, this quote should sum it up for you:
Ashley: "Here talk to my Dad while I Pee."
Mr. Perkins: "Greg.....get your ass up here. It's the first day and I'm already going crazy with all these girls."
Greg: "Hey, if I didn't have to work tomorrow, I would be right up there!"
Mr. Perkins: "You got to come up here and do some bass fishing."
Greg: "Oh, count me in, I'll get up at 6am or whatever just to go, I'm def in."
Mr. Perkins: "Yea...and if you play your cards right....This will be Ashley's place....then...Mega Fishing for you."

*Ashley screaming from in the background*: "Do I get a say in this?? DON'T RUSH ME!!"

Yup, I love the Perkins family. All of them, Sally, Leroy, Juile, Chucky, Court, Nicholas, Chester, Elvis, Henrietta, Ted, Hank, Willie, Mickey, and Nolan. Oh and Ashley goes in there too I guess. Seriously, Mrs. P had said that it is awesome that I feel so at home there, but it's true. Everyone is just so nice and as much as Ashley hates it...they are Perfect. I feel comfortable because they are such amazing people. Mrs. P is so funny and nice and just crazy sometimes, and she is of course a great mother to the Perky sisters. Mr. P is just hilarious. He has the best dry delivery, that everything he says creates gutbusting laughter. And her grandparents are just amazing. I haven't really had a chance to truly get to know them, but from the experience I have from them, I know that they are great and wonderful people as well.

And that brings me to today, I called in sick after being up late and having slight migraine headaches. The night was the worst of them, but once I finally fell asleep, I was fine. Then after feeling refreshed, I went out to eat with Nick for his birthday and went to see The Wedding Crashers afterwards. Great Great Great movie, fairly stereotypical, but many twisted make it amazing.

So now I'm here...Typing, I have officially caught up to me right now...like...now. Everything u are reading now is brand new...but not anymore, now its old. But this is NEW....but now its old. Ok I'm going to stop trying to be witty. Tune in for my next post, while writing this I thought of a great entry, and one that is actually serious and cuts to the core of me. The topic will be about how I use my humor, and how it is a bad thing sometimes.

Keep On Rocking In The Free World!
