new stuff

i'm switching to haloscan comments because the other was getting on my nerves by not showing up all the time. i'm hoping this will work better. comments are open to anyone and everyone, so have no fear.

i haven't really given a narrative this week because i've been working. i'm off today and tomorrow, but that doesn't really mean anything since it's easter and most people are gone out of town and certain other people are working.

i registered to work at a temp agency last week. i desperately need some cash and they were incredibly impressed with my skills (who knew i typed 85 words a minute?), so i'm hoping it won't be that bad. i work when i want to work and accept assignments accordingly. we'll see.

we are supposed to have softball practice at 3, but it looks like the rain is going to make it here before then. i loved playing last year until this one guy took over the team and wouldn't let me play b/c i didn't kiss his ass enough. i hope the evil empire's team will be a lot more....um.......courteous? i don't know anyone playing though, so i guess this is a networking exercise as well.

i think that's all i wanted/needed to say. for now at least. this was more to test my new comments.

have a happy easter!

mud...icky

i have to tell this story before i forget it. it's funny and i just want to brighten your day.

it's 12:30 on friday night...saturday morning...whatever. and i'm at work and my phone rings. it's mike.

me: hey...what's going on?
mike: hey....what are you doing?
me: working...what's up?
mike: oh....i wanted to let you know that Tis was coming to pick you up.
me: okay...why is tis coming?
mike: well....there's been a situation with your car...
me: a situation? what kind of situation?
mike: a mud situation?
me: okay...and how bad of a situation is this?
mike: oh it's not a big deal. i just got it stuck in some mud and we're getting it pulled out right now. i just can't come pick you up on time, so i'm sending Tis.
me: okay...as long as you're taking care of it and you say it's not that bad.
mike: yeah it's not bad. we'll just meet up at Tis's after you get off work.
me: okay...see you then.
mike: later.

tis comes and picks me up after work. and i ask what's going on and where on earth did he get stuck in mud and how bad is it. tis is either too high or has no clue b/c he wasn't hanging out with them, so he doesn't answer me. he got a new truck and all he likes to do is drive around showing it off, so we do that for a whole hour. and i'm just like rar! i want to go home! i want to know what's wrong with my car! finally mike calls and asks tis where we are b/c they are waiting for us at tis's apartment. we go there and bill and stupid steve hop in the back seat of tis's truck. i started asking bill what was wrong and what they'd been up to that night and if everything is okay. and bill's just like "don't kill him laurie. just don't kill him." so yeah, that makes me even more worried.

so i got out of the truck and i went over to my car and at this point it's starting to rain but i walk all the way around the car and i can't see anything wrong with it, so i'm really not all that bothered about things. i get in the car and mike's sitting there and he's obviously angry about whatever has happened. so he tells this story:

mike and bill and stupid steve were going to go play pool at like 9:00 and steve forgot to bring the pants he wanted to wear or something. so they went to north little rock to get steve some other pants. well steve apparently lives in the sticks and the dirt road was kinda muddy from the rain earlier that week. so steve tells mike that he should go around the mudhole in the road and mike does and the car just sinks right then and there. so mike and steve got out (bill didn't want to get dirty or something...) and they try to get it out and they can't. so they called steve's brother who has a pickup truck to pull them out. the truck also gets stuck and mike ends up with mud all over him from the tires spinning (i wish i saw that...it would have been hilarious). so finally someone else shows up and they get both vehicles out of the mud. and the mud was apparently all the way up to the bottom of my car. mike ends up losing his shoes in the mud. bill stays clean and laughs at them for being muddy. they took my car to the car wash and get most of the mud off and out from under it, so when i see it it looks like everythings okay. but mike was mad because once they got on the freeway, the steering wheel started shaking really bad when they got to going like 65 mph. so i think he was worried that they really fucked up my car. and if they did, i would have killed them all.

so he and i drive around and he's telling me this story and i'm really not all that mad about it because he kept saying that he would take care of whatever was wrong with it and he didn't want to ruin my trust because of this one stupid thing they did. i told him it was fine as long as he paid for and took the car to where ever it needed to go to be fixed.

i spent the night at his house that night and he did get up at like 9 and took the car and had the wheels realigned and balanced and now everything is good as new.

it was just so funny because i think he thought i'd be really mad and bill thought so too, but i wasn't because i knew he'd get it fixed. he was telling me that the mud was allllllll over my car and i wouldn't believe it if i saw it. i wish he took a picture of that and him being covered in the mud. haha. these people have camera phones and no one uses them!

oh yeah and to followup from friday morning's post...i did get what i was craving.....and it was gooooooooood. like best so far. hahah.

everyone else's bracket falling to pieces? i'm still winning the bracket game...although i'm not exactly sure how. yesterday we spent the day (literally) at legends watching games and drinking. it was what i wanted to do all week! so yeah i was happy even though i got home by 8pm.

i need to go run....
