Sigh.

Life can be really boring sometimes.

"you're....running a red...light..."

today has been one of those ridiculous days where so many weird things happen.

this morning started with the best intentions of going to church. this church takes place at an elementary school cafeteria about 10 minutes from home. we get there and can't find the cafeteria while liz was trying not to have a bathroom emergency in her pants. we then realize it's around the corner but are already 10 minutes late and liz was ready to get home. so those plans were thwarted.

we spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon hanging out at home. car did homework, liz sat on the kitchen floor getting her new printer hooked up while i video chatted with the bestie. (by the by, i check your blog like a gillion times a day too :P). i then took a nap with the dog we dog sat all weekend and woke up to watch stupid youtube videos and waste more time.

at about 2:15, car went to check on her clothes in the washing machine and found the room flooded. this room is attached to the apartment on the other side of the house where a woman has been living for quite some time. this room is supposed to be shared between us, but this woman has had her stuff all piled up to the stairs to our door. so this room is flooded, boxes of her crap are getting wet, stacks of boxes are starting to lean over, so we call the landlord.

2.5 hours later......the landlord shows up, finds out it was the cover of the drain, told us that we need to poke through it with a screw driver every now and then and then leaves. really? the only good outcome of this? lady next door finally moved all her CRAP.

so then we leave because i needed shoes and a shirt for work. we go to payless down the road and while we were there, the poor sweet girl who was working there had her debit card and cash stolen from the back office. we were pretty sure we knew who did it, so we followed their car and wrote down the license number. then we head to old navy.

this is one of the most bizarre things that has ever happened to me. we stop at a stoplight. completely stopped. 100%. the car is not moving anymore. then carolyn inches the car forward some. and then a little more and pretty soon we are basically out in the middle of the intersection. it's then that i was sure that carolyn was going to stop the car. but she didn't. she just kept moving forward. like she was driving in slow motion or something. so i say "you're running a red light" and she says "OH SHIT!" and speeds up through the rest of the intersection. it was so bizarre. it's one of those things that just happened. it was so weird.

so then we are on our way to old navy and carolyn decides to tell us she doesn't know where it is, so we go to goodwill instead. which was awesome. then we came home, ate, did little things around the house and then amber and dan came to steal luna away from us again. but they did bring us delicious popcorn. cheese and caramel. mixed together. surprisingly wonderful.

so that was the day that we girls had today.
ridiculous.
i loved every second of it.

car ran a red light.
really?

video chatting...

rules.

Um....

A 10-3 orientation for Hollywood Video for people who have never worked in a movie store is the glorious day I had.

Then, I was guilt tripped into going into work tonight from 6-midnight. There's another night at the theatre I'll be missing.

Oh the joys of working retail.

What time is it? It's Diaper Time

So I'm going to spend the day at the theatre with Kathryn today. I hope I fit in alright and I'm able to help out a lot. I really want this to work out. I miss having a theatre community of friends.

We had a family meeting last night and all I can say is that I live with two amazing women. It's going to be an amazing couple of years.

I have to ride the bus by myself this morning. Pray I'm able to not get lost.

I'm a little hopeful that Obama will live up to the expectations placed on him, but then again, the expectations are so high that he's pretty much doomed to fail. Even if he does do everything right. But he's already lowered the "no taxing on those making 250,000 or more a year" to 150,000. That's two blatant lies he's told already. I don't know why people have faith in him. He's not going to change anything. Whatever. Politics are dumb.

Ok, coffee and cereal time. MMMMM, yes please.

sigh.

here's hoping he's not as much of a crook and scumbag as his secret past has made him out to be.
here's hoping he won't steal my money and give it crack whores.

here's hoping that his promises aren't empty and things will change.

but i sincerely doubt it.


he's just another politician.
he's not the messiah.

i hope this isn't the end of america.

i'm really bummed out.

Oregon

So I just spent my first night in Oregon.
It was pretty awesome, and is pretty awesome.
I still haven't had a chance to see the city really at all because I was so tired and it was pretty late when I got here.

I just can't believe how I've become an adult over night.
Instead of planning what songs to play on Rock Band tomorrow, I'm talking about how I'm going to pay the rent and what colors to paint the bedroom.
Life is crazy.
I'm on the other side of the country.
And it's not as scary as I thought it would be.

I miss my family.
