txchrissy: THANK YOU! I think that it may be a long time before I ever hear it from her. Considering I still get the eye rolling routine well......
Five Party Day: The house that my daughter said she wasn't feeling wasn't feeling her vibe either. So I got a call from the Reluctant one that she was going to five of her six favorite houses. She really had incredible choices at this point (no doom music here). Just the statement that she had incredible choices.
Then I made the mistake of telling the Reluctant one, the very cool laid back young woman who doesn't believe in showing public emotion (a condition known in my world as Emotional Constipation) what would happen on Bid Day should she go to Bid Night.
I told her that the PNMs get their bids and run to the Row. The look on her face was a study in horror. You RUN? TO THE ROW?! With the frat boys watching? (I neglected to tell her that I had heard that a few years ago some of the guys held up scoring cards. I can honestly tell you that if someone insulted her or another woman that I would be getting a call from the campus police that my 100 pound daughter took out a 300 pound man).
I am not running.
Ok, of course you won't. Again, I bit my tongue. I have permanent lacerations on my tongue.
At the end of the 5 party round I received a call from the Reluctant one. After our previous discussions that she would get to know the girls in the house, their personalities and feel a connection and she pooh poohed me she quietly said that she had finally got to know three houses. There were three houses that she liked, really liked. Yes, she liked them for different reasons and but she liked them.
I just said to her that I was happy for her and told her that I would see her later. Then I hung up and smiled.
