Must Find a New Lunch Spot...

I know this will be my second post for the day but I couldn't wait until tomorrow...my story would lose its luster. So I headed next door to the student center for lunch like I do everyday. It is a gorgeous day outside so I thought I would sit on the outdoor patio on the second floor. I was enjoying a beautiful lunch and then the smokers started lighting up(keep in mind that it was smoking that would cause the following events to happen). I was going to just deal with it and give them the good ole death stare but after the 3rd one lighted up I had to move. I quickly put on my flip flops and headed back through the food court. I began to notice my shoes felt a little wierd. I looked down and realized I had them on the wrong feet. I decided that I couldn't do anything about it now and I didn't want to create a scene (if I only knew what was about to happen) so I just kept going until I was finally not around anyone.
I stepped outside and thought I would sit out on the outdoor tables and enjoy the weather a little more. The tables they have set up are metal with 4 chairs connected to the table. There's also a large sun umbrella..so I thought perfect spot to read for a bit. A large group of women were starting to sit at one of the tables so I just walked up to the nearest one and set my stuff on the table. I then proceeded to sit down and all hell broke lose. As I sat down the table began to fall over until it was on the ground with myself trapped underneath it. All my crap had also fallen off the table and was scattered on the ground including my cell phone which was swimming in a pool of pop. After I finally pulled myself out, there were a bunch of people around helping. I tried to act not embarrased while picking up all my crap off the ground. I had two options: Go sit at another table or run away...I choose RUN AWAY! I walked around the corner still in shock that it actually happened to me in the middle of campus, during the lunch hour and out of all my pants, I was wearing kahki's which were now stained with pop. I sat down on a curb/edge thing and started texting Lora. I was so relieved that she called me back right away. So I told her the story, reliving the most embarrasing moment of my life all over again. I think I brought her to tears so I must have told it good enough for her to have a perfect visual of the scene. So now I sit at my desk in pop stained kahki's, trying to think of a new spot to have lunch and doing the math in my head of just how many people might have actually saw me.
So in conclusion, I almost died today and I just want to say the statement "smoking can kill" is very true.

Should have just gone to the golf course



After returning home from work and making a stop at Wal-Mart (for like the 5th time this week) I decided that tonight was the night...I was going to make a budget. I continued to put it off for awhile by playing with the dog, cleaning up after my dad and brother, watering plants and then taking random pictures in hope of finally using up my film. I have been taking my dog down to the golf course near our house to let her run around but I thought I would dodge the West Nile bullet another day and stay in.
I grabbed all bills and dusted them off. I have this belief, if you can't see the bill(s) they don't exist. I can tell you about some of the phone calls I have gotten, this is not true. I sat down at the computer and was going to make a cute spread sheet (I say cute; your'e thinking nerdy) and it was going have all the information I needed at my finger tips. I was trying to set it up so that I could put a payment in and it would magically change the amount owed. I was going to just enter in a bunch of payments for fun and see my balances become zeros. Then the evil spirits of computer land became to powerful to overtake, and it would not let me do anything I wanted it to do. I even called my mom who's job is to work with computers all day, and she couldn't figure it out. I just decieded to ditch my hightect ideas and just enter in all the data. As they began to add up, I didn't think numbers could go that high, but I kept crunching the numbers. Just as I am on the edge of madness, my brother walks by the office and asked what I was doing. I replied "Drowning in debt." He didn't say anything for a minute and then "Oh yeah, I was really thirsty today so I had to drink your water. I went and bought you some more." and then walked off to get pimped out to go see his girlfriend.
I finished my budget and figured out the monthly amounts I would be paying. Then I stared blanky at the final results for God knows how long. I came to the conclusion that West Nile would have been more fun but that would of meant I would need to make a new spread sheet with another bill.

Lincoln, CA's, Gigi and a halo of cheese....need I say more


Lincoln was a blast. Had a good time hanging out with everyone and seeing my friends. The highlights were: Enjoying a pasta dish described as having a "golden halo of cheese", Drinking free beer! (wont reveal the source, but if you understood you would want to have one also!), playing hide and go seek in ShopKo, seeing Gigi again, getting slapped on the ass to the point where I still have marks and going to Cliff's bar for 1/2 kamikaze night! I really wanted to stay in Lincoln and pretend I wasn't an adult and had a real job I had to be at the following morning at 7:30 am. Someone suggested that I could just stay in Lincoln and wear what I was wearing the next day. It was a good idea but I knew I couldn't get away with saying "Oh! I thought it was casual Monday!". I could have always gone to Wal-Mart and picked out some new duds but I don't think they would have appreciated me "bathing" in the restroom. I said my goodbyes and starting heading back to Fremont. When I got home, my dad was still awake doing something in garage so I went over to say goodnight. I told him it was really hard to leave so I needed an apartment in Lincoln, just on the weekends. I think he might consider paying for it!

Want more details from Lincoln? TOO BAD: "What happens in Lincoln with CA's, stays in Lincoln!"

The Begining

Today I sat down at the computer and decieded to get online. This is normally a fun past time for me, but it has become the ban of my existance. Since I have moved back home I have realized I've stepped back in time. My parents live outside of town and the only interent service provider available is AOL (lucky us...right). I found one through AOL, but I won't even get into what a piece of crap that was!
My weekend has been pretty uneventful. I am SOOO looking forward to going to Lincoln tomorrow. Fretucky hasn't really been doing it for me lately. My friend, Garrett aka Gigi, is visiting from Philly so that makes the trip that more special.
I promise future postings will be more interesting. Until then, ponder a new way to part your hair.
