Awkward & Awesome

sorry it's been a while. there was nothing to report actually. on with it then!

Awkward

* so I got my car stuck a foot (or so) in water last Thursday cause I tried to drive it through a ditch. yes I know. how blonde can you be, you ask? very. it took us about three hours (and four guys - have to say my friend Mike was my hero that night {and my brothers who were true gentlemen}) to TRY to pull or push or assist it driving out (with the use of wood boards under the tires) to no avail. finally had to admit defeat (and because the tow truck my car's roadside assistance flagged wasn't going to be able to make it until ~1 am) and have the tow truck come back in the morning. yes it was awkward and the cute comments by the staff guy who just sat there and watched didn't help. the tow guy was very helpful and showed us what to do next time (well, hoping there ISN'T a next time).

and yes, the ballpark staff does make comments about it. good thing I'm a good girl who can laugh at herself (although the guy who just sat there that night I finally told him that he wasn't helpful and I didn't want to hear any more comments).

* so that was thursday. saturday I discovered the front driver's side of my car had been egged. well, seemed more like egg castoff but still, it required a good scrubbing and a second wash and some hand drying. thankfully no harm no foul. but my poor car. what I seem to do to it...

* so I went to purchase a new phone last week (my dad needs mine and I was going to buy one eventually anyway)...well big surprise but they're out. everywhere it seems. anyway, it's not a big deal but I dunno, I was feeling mighty stupid standing there. and if you know me I don't do well with feeling stupid. my dad looked in Dallas but they were out there. finally just ordered it online. will be a few weeks before it comes in but again, all's well that end's well.

* so today has already started off being a little off. woke up crying in the middle of the night because of a bad dream but this morning I can't really remember the part that *made* me wake up sobbing (although I know it was one of those things where you're crying in the dream and you actually have to make yourself wake up in order to get out of it and find that you're actually crying there too - that part I do remember). regardless I woke up sniffly and congested and not a little bit puffy. so I got my coffee but still got off the elevator at work on the wrong floor. even took me a good 20 seconds to realize I was on the 4th floor instead of the 5th. just one of those "distracted" moments that will follow me throughout the day. (good thing there's nothing going on tonight!)

Awesome

* getting $0.10 off my coffee because I brought in my reusable cup? I dunno, I'm scrambling for stuff.

* getting to go to the ballet in Oklahoma this weekend to see Cinderella with a friend. fun road trip with someone I like to hang out with AND dressing up to see the ballet in another state? sign me up. oh wait, already done.

I'm excited, can't you tell?

* found $20 on the street. lunch money!

* baking another round of ketogenic pumpkin spice bread. it's amazing. just be-tee-dubs. tastes almost exactly like gingerbread.

* got through at least 5 years worth of old clothes at least. gave some to Charlotte. gave some to mom. the rest are getting donated. and now you can actually walk in the closet in the second bedroom (well, at least you will be able to after I drop off the clothes). it's good to get that stuff out. especially because most probably wouldn't fit anymore anyway! regardless....finally time to get rid of stuff I definitely don't need. ciao baby.

sorry this is technically a Friday post, but heck, good enough for me.
