I could have so many more, but I figure the more goals you have, the more likely you are to not achieving all of them. I am very serious about all of these goals, and for some reason I am more motivated than ever before.
Now to talk about my day.
Today was interesting. I can't think of another word to describe it. I can't say it was good interesting or bad interesting. It was just interesting. Let's start at the very beginning when my alarm clock went off.
My alarm clock woke me from a dream where I was running from murderers.. more like, hiding from them. Fearing for my life. I've been having a lot of dreams like this lately and the worst part is, they always feel so real. I have no idea what is causing these dreams! Well anyway, when my alarm clock went off I was so lost and confused. I had no idea where I was. When I figured out where I was I had no idea what day it was, or why I was waking up at 8 in the morning. I had to strain so hard to figure out why I was waking up at that time. I finally remembered I had planned to go to a cycling class with my friend Meghan. Working out always seems like a good idea the night before, but whenever it is time to wake up I am hating myself for making the plans. This is why I have set goal #9 for myself. I am absolutely positively the worst morning person! It doesn't matter what I have going on, and how important it is, whenever I wake up I always convince myself sleep is more important. I can't tell you how many things I have slept through something without it being on "accident" and having to deal with the guilt for the rest of the day. Sleeping through it always seems like a good idea at the time! Amazingly enough I got out of bed and went to my cycling class. Already getting a strong start on goals 2,8, & 9. The cycling class was good ( I am so out of shape!) and it was good to spend some more time with my friend, Meghan.
I then went to Derick's and ate breakfast with him. We both got ready for the day and decided it would be fun to get a bunch of people together to go see The Avengers. Derick said if I drove he would supply the movie tickets. I wasn't falling for that trick because he wasn't supplying anything. His mom had given him gift cards to the movie theater. I told him he should drive since he has a lot of errands he needed to run for himself. We hopped into his car and I was in sort of a trance not paying attention to much. I was jerked back to reality by the sound of a very loud smash. My car! I immediately had known what happened... Derick on the other hand was still a little confused. For some reason he forgot I was parked behind him, even though I was parked in the same spot I park at every single day when I go to his house. It took him a second to realize what had happened and when realization finally hit we both got out to view the damage. My heart sank.. my poor car was pretty beaten up on the front end. I should have drove....
But it's ok. I wasn't hard on him and I realized we all make mistakes. It could happen to anyone. The only thing I could think of asking him after it happened was "what were you thinking?" after saying that a few times I got over it. His insurance is going to cover the damage, with only raising his insurance rate a small percentage for a a few years. And while my car is getting fixed I'll get to drive around a loaner. As long as it isn't some nasty car I'll be fine. No stress of not having a car. Derick texted his friends and told them we wouldn't be able to make it to the movie due to the fender bender, but after calling the insurance agency and sitting there feeling sorry for ourselves for a few minutes we realized we could still make it to the 12:30 showing. We speed over to the movie theater while calling everyone telling them the plans were back on. We would be just a few minutes late and hopefully only miss the previews. Derick and I get there first and go to buy the movie tickets for the current showing. The lady at the window says "The 12 o'clock showing?" and Derick told her that we actually wanted the 12:30 showing. Well turns out we were at the wrong movie theater. There was no way we would make it there in time. We turn around to walk back to our car as his friends show up. They ask if the movie is sold out and Derick decides to go with it. "Ya it's sold out!" we didn't want to tell them we had made a mistake (I say we, but let's get real here. Derick is the one who looked up the showings in the newspaper) They would have been so mad. We decided to go to out to Lunch instead, at Wingers.
After that Derick and I headed over to Al's to check out hiking shoes and back packs for backpacking trips we hope to go on this summer.
I then had to go to work. Work was straight up ridiculous. I have worked at Pita Pit for about 4 years now, and I don't think I have ever experienced such a steady night. We could not get anything done! A typical friday night would be getting rotate, sauces, dishes, and trash all done by 9:30. Well tonight We didn't even get started on any of that until 10:30. I was a little peeved by this, but the tips were worth it.
And since today was May 4th (star wars day) My co-worker brought all of the star wars movies to play on the TV while we worked. And then he made me stay after to finish watching a light saber scene.
It is now 2:19 and I can't believe I am still awake.
