If you can't read the title of this beyond the "OMG," you're not alone. I have no idea how to pronounce it, but I'm about 99% that's what came out of my mouth about an hour ago while on the phone with one of my BFFs.
Why, you ask? (You did ask why, didn't you? I thought so.)
This is how the last 18(ish) hours have gone.
At 11 p.m. last night I looked at my phone and saw I had a missed call from Ms. AA about 20 minutes prior to that.
Disclaimer: this is not a name that she got because she's a member of AA...it happens to be her first and middle initials and I started calling her that (mixed with the occasional "AlAnon") because I found it amusing. Granted, we were probably intoxicated when this happened the first time. But I digress....
So I had a missed call and a voicemail from her at 10:40, which is kind of odd for her to call me 1) that late and 2) on a weekend. Typically on the weekends she is with her man, J, because they live about 40 minutes apart and they spend most weekends at either her place or his. So we usually chat on weeknights rather than on weekends (because, really, the thought of interrupting sexytime gives me hives).
I listened to the voicemail and she said she just wanted to chat, so I figured that J must've been out of town for work and she was bored and wanted to catch up since it'd been a while. I was exhausted after babysitting my nephew for the night and just wanted to collapse.
(I had also just watched Remember the Titans on TNT for about the 20th or so time and bawled like a baby, so I wasn't in the shape to chat with anyone. But, seriously, what the heck is it with that movie that gets me every time?! I know exactly what happens!)
So I went to bed instead of calling her back. Woke up this morning and was instantly on toddler duty since he spent the night. We went out to breakfast and after a pleasant absolutely disgusting discovery that the munchkin had leaked out of his diaper, I took him into the bathroom to change him (and clean myself up). While in there in the midst of the cleansing process, my phone starts ringing with Ms. AA's ringtone. It was 10:30 a.m.
At this point, I knew something was up if she was calling me a second time in less than 12 hours, but I couldn't talk at that moment (mainly because I feared that I would end up with even more poo on me if I tried to do anything else). When we got home from breakfast, I texted her and said I would call her after my sister came to pick up my nephew unless she needed to talk right then. She said it was fine for me to call her later.
Five hours (and five disgusting diapers - poor baby has a bad stomach bug right now) later, I called her.
The conversation goes something like this:
AA: How are you?
L: I'm great, how are you?
AA: I'm good. Just got my hair cut, so I'm excited about that.
L: Awesome.
AA: How was babysitting the little one?
(I fill her in for like 3 minutes on the trials and tribulations of Exploding Diaper Boy.)
AA: Did I see somewhere that you had an interview recently?
(I fill her in for another 3 minutes on details of the interview and where I stand in the job search right now.)
AA: That's so great. Let me know how it turns out.
L: I definitely will.
AA: Well, one of the reasons I was calling you is...
(I hold my breath, kind of knowing what's coming.)
...J and I got engaged last night!
L: AHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG ASFBIASGHOINOVDHSGIOS! I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T BELIEVE IT BUT I KIND OF KNEW IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW DID HE DO IT WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED WHAT'S THE RING LIKE I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT IN TWO WEEKS WHEN I SEEEEEEEE YOU AND WHY DID YOU LET ME GO ON AND ON ABOUT POOPY DIAPERS AND JOB INTERVIEWS AND OMG YOU'RE WEDDING'S GOING TO BE AMAZING I'M SO HAPPY I LOVE YOU I CAN'T BELIEVE IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG ASFBIASGHOINOVDHSGIOS!
Hence, the title of this post.
While in my mind I was kind of dreading the day I would receive this phone call from Ms. AA (because I'm kind of overwhelmed with the number of people our age who are getting married right now), I could not be happier for her and J. He is an amazing man and I would not pick anyone else for her. I'm so excited that they're going to spend the rest of their lives together and I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE OPEN BAR WEDDING.
The best part? J's last name starts with an A. That's right, my beloved Ms. AA will soon be Mrs. Triple-A.
I'm so unbelievably stoked. :)
