ok. four days of vacation are over. it was nice. really really nice. and big shocker, i didnt even turn the big screen tv all day. does that mean i have matured? possibly. actually i shopped til i literally dropped. bought a lot of stuff that I am sure I dont need. like why i bought 2 tanktops at BR - I DONT KNOW. in fact I hate my arms. I also bought 2 tshirts at adidas and forgot to try them on. well yeah, i knew i was too tired to deal with my mirror image for the umpteenth time. so i bought them. waa. they dont fit across my massive frame. so sad. they are cute. one has a tennis racket and one has a soccer ball on it. simple, not like a ugly picture. so i get home from this "An American at the Strip Mall Outlet" episode, to realize that I dont have my house keys and stevo is an hour and a half away from being at the front door. see normally, i could have gone to the grocery store, gone to the spa for an eyebrow wax, or went to the carwash, except that i was experiencing the onset of a very ugly migraine. so i got the mexican blanket(yes, i really did get it in Tijuana) out of my trunk, laid it on the bench at the front door and slept. of course, the preferred method of finding a bed is far better, but i must learn to be a crafty camper. that was not the way i wanted to close out my 4 day weekend. anyways, i have always considered myself pretty technical. not a techno-geek, but pretty good with things that plug in to the wall socket. well that is until late last night. me and the alarm clock have this love-hate relationship. it loves to go off loudly and i hate to wake up. so apparently, i set the time ahead an hour last night while i was fumbling to reset it to 6:45am. so i ended up getting up at 5:45 am and I was out the door by 7am. ARG!!! it was like going to school on a saturday. i was not happy to be up so early. we won our over 30s womens game on monday night. woo woo. 1-0. which was especially sweet, as we were down 2 players for about 25 minutes. soccer game makeups scheduled for tonight: 2, days til my birthday: 13, cups of coffee already consumed: 2
