Yay! I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait to watch it. I probably won't watch it today or tomorrow, but I promise you I will watch it before or on the 22nd. Why such a specific date, you ask? Well let me tell you a story….
[Cue dream sequence harp music here]
A long long time ago… okay not very long ago… it really was only about 3 years ago, I was hanging out with some friends at a local bar attempting to get over my break-up with Satan's spawn only 4 months before. I wasn't emotionally ready for a relationship. I was bitter, angry, sad, and skeptical and untrusting of everyone… especially men. There was no way I was getting into another relationship right away… and I didn't. It'd be less than year until I would become exclusive with the very sweet guy I met on a very special night. [awwww]
But anyway, there I sat at the table with my two drunken friends and a Corona bottle in hand. "Damn men!" we would exclaim to the skies above, "Damn them all!" Then we all busted out with a Vicente Fernandez song… or was it Ramon Ayala? I can't remember. Anyway, so there we sat looking all disheveled and desperate when this young guy walked up to me and asked if he and his friend could come sit at our table. I took one look at this guy and was completely mesmerized… by his friend. So I said to my friend, "Move, slut! He's sitting here." 
Okay, so I really didn't say that… in those exact words.
We chatted and knocked back a few drinks with these two guys for awhile. Eventually, he asked me to dance, and we hung out for another hour or so. He asked for my number, and I reluctantly gave it to him even after he admitted he was a few years younger than me and was also FROM Delano. (GAH!) [But that's another story for another blog.] I decided there was no harm in having made another friend, right, especially since I thought he was cute! 
Anyway, he called me the very next day and asked me out on a date that night. We decided on a movie and he let me choose. And do you know what I chose?? Come on, guess!…………. It was Shrek 2! Hehe… [Man, I HEART Shrek!]
And so a love story began on May 22, 2004 with Shrek and me. Ha! I kid! A real love story began the day I had my first date with my honey boo, butter biscuit, sweet Edge. And how lucky am I that we get to commemorate this day with Shrek the Third?! It's fate, my dear friends. Ha!
Of course, we weren't exclusive from day one, and there were lots of doubts, questions and mixed emotions that came into play with age and my previous relationship, but we overcame that eventually. May definitely is a special month for me, though. I met a wonderful and sweet person and we had our first date. I had no idea how much my life would change. I went from being depressed and heartbroken to meeting and ultimately falling in love with my best friend. There's no one more perfect for me.
So here's to Shrek! [clink] Watch it! And think of my Edgie and me!
