Stupid Mistakes and Close Friends

I definitely had a lesson learned experience yesterday. Don't lock your keys in your car! Yes, everyone has done it at one point or another, but I guess I always thought, 'Oh, that will never happen to me.'

And if I really think about it, I'm surprised it's taken me this long. I can be pretty forgetful or A.D.D. Well, I was going to meet a good friend for dinner to catch up. We met at Barnes&Noble, walked around for about 1/2 an hour and then we decided to see a movie. Little did we know that plan went out the window a while ago.

I was so upset, we got security, I called so many people to try and get help. I called AAA from my grandmothers account and they wouldn't help me because I'm not her child or spouse. LAME! Unfortunately, I then had to resort to calling 911. This is how that conversation went...

"911 Emergency how can I help you?"
"Well, this isn't a major emergency but I've locked my keys in my car, can you send someone to come help us?"
"Do you have a pet or children in the car?"
"No."
"Then we can't help you. Call a locksmith."

Can you believe that?! The POLICE wouldn't even come help me! We pay they're dang salary! I was so upset. So after what was probably another hour, I finally called the locksmith. I about had a heart attack with his fee of 95 BUCKS!! I wanted to cry, because I do not have that kind of extra money. BUT, after waiting for him for an hour, letting him do his thing, we finally got in the car and got to go have dinner. The night definitely got better, Thank God!

A lesson learned though, lock my car with the keys from now on so I know where they are. All and all it was an interesting afternoon. :)

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! YAY!!

Wow. So after watching this video, it makes me want to be in love like this.

True love is definitely hard to come by these days. We watch movies like 'the notebook', 'hope floats', 'pretty woman', and 'when harry met sally', and wonder.... Does love like that really exist? I think to myself, of course it does. Somebody had to write it, right? So that person must be like that. But I guess unfortunately that's not necessarily true.

When I was a little girl, my mom used to read me the typical fairytale stories. "And they lived happily ever after..." Well what happened to that? I know growing up, every little girl wants to live 'happily ever after'. But yet, somehow, it seems there is no happily ever after anymore. Do we have our standards set too high? Or is it the men that can't seem to live up to our standards because they don't know the stories like us women?

It is upsetting to think that long-lasting true love is hard to come by these days. I hope that some day, a man will prove me totally wrong, sweep me off my feet and give me that fairytale ending i've always dreamed of.

My ingredients...

My birthday is in 6 days!! yay!!

Here's a funny video of Juno.
She's cracks me up.

Old friends and Birthdays

So I had dinner with an old friend last night. There's nothing like a good friend to get you back on track. My Birthday is in 12 days. I can't wait. If only I could have all my friends in one place, that would be the perfect birthday. That cliche saying is true, "You never know how much you love something until you've lost it." And thankfully I haven't lost any of my friends, but we don't get to visit as often as I would like, and I do miss them dearly.

I've been thinking more and more about how I'm ready to move on from this chapter of my life. Maybe move to another city and "start over". I feel as though I need it to find who I truly am. But that will come in God's timing I guess. I just get impatient.

My body is getting sick of this hot weather. I'm still pale, sweating all the time, and don't get to wear any scarves. This is no fun. Come on Fall. I'm ready for the colors to change, the wind to be crisp, and to break out those adorable coats out of my closet. But again, i'm impatient and it will come. Slowly but surely.

And I'm SOOO ready for this movie and a girls night...

Yep, I'm awesome. These were designed for me! :)
