Black Friday

End of the semester is approaching and it couldn't come fast enough. Is anyone else experiencing a lack of motivation? Bah.... I sure am.
I just thought that I would post about my redonkulous day yesterday. It probably won't sound very silly, but it was.
I stayed at my parents house for Turkey Day. I wanted to stay forever. Relax, make crafts, eat turkey sandwiches... but sadly I had to get back for work. (The life of retail. I'm just grateful I didn't have to be to work till 3 in the afternoon!) I was late heading back, so I barely made it in time for work. In fact, I was five minutes late. I anticipated something of this nature might take place, so I raided my little sister's closet before leaving. (I have to wear specific clothes for work.) Words can not describe how ridiculous I looked. I put a skirt on over yoga pants. A red skirt. And I could only find GREEN shoes. Cool. (Also, these shoes made me about 5 inches taller.) I rolled up my pants, so it wasn't too big of a deal. Except for the fact that I haven't shaved my legs in at least two weeks! No hiding that, I'm afraid. I didn't do anything with my hair. So, I grabbed this ugly flower clippy and pinned up a bun... so gross. Brushed my teeth when I got to work. Tried to wipe of the makeup from the day before. I was a sight, let me tell ya.

So... about four hours into my shift, someone pages me to the front to inform me that my lights (of my car) were left on. Snazzy. I go out to turn them off and they are as dim as can be. Sweet. I hoped that it would revive itself.
Let's jump four hours down the road: I get in my car to leave. But I do not leave. Because it will not start. Luckily, Katie was there and had jumper cables. Perfect! However, neither one of us has done this on our own before. We try like 6 times to jump my stupid, stupid car. Nothing. Just clicking. No power. We are just standing there freezing. Wondering what we could be doing wrong.
So I had her give me a ride home. And my car is still in the parking lot at work. Filled with Christmas decor. And I am stuck at home (until 2:30, at which time I will be walking to work). To get my homework done. But I really don't want to. Really. This semester just needs to end. Right. Now.

Also... Funny. I really wanted to get my winter coat and boots from my parents house. Somehow I remembered to bring all of my dress coats... but all the practical stuff was left at home. It was just a day filled with crazy events.

Wow... This sounded like a whine-fest. Not my intention, I swear. I just have to laugh about these silly things. Because they are pretty dang silly.

Also, I finally saw this movie:
Yeah, the last one that I saw was the 6th. Apparently there are other movies. Who knew.
I thought it was good, but then again, I never read this book. I burned out after 5.

Hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving! I know I sure did!



(Oh the joy of silly camera settings....)
