It's Raining and the Sprinkler's On....

Yup, that's right, it is raining like hell and the
sprinkler system outside is on. I have no clue why things
are the way they are....they just are. I am at work again
and am totally alone today because one of my bosses is on
vaca and the other went home cuz he's "tired". I think one
of our prison crews turned on the sprinkler and then it
started raining....and I sure as hell am NOT going out
there to turn it off while I get drenched in the downpour.
Maybe if it slows down later I'll go turn it off. Anyway,
in other work-related news, it is definitely a GOOD day cuz
since it's raining and the bosses are gone, cute Brian is
coming in quite frequently to hide from work! YAY!

Well, I guess, since I have time, I'll write about last
weekend. It was so fun, then stressful all at the same
time that I don't even know where to begin. First of all,
Morgan, Jarod, and I had been planning this surprise thing
for Josh's birthday. I can't really say it was a party,
cuz we tried to make it low-key and un-party-like cuz Josh
allegedly despises birthday parties--especially surprise
ones. Anyway, Morgan and I went through alot of shit
trying to get everything and everyone ready for the day of
surprise, and let me tell you, it was NOT easy. We had to
drive a looonnnngg way alone, then we were stuck in Howell
waiting for Josh and Jarod for hours while we scurried to
finish the scrapbook that was a present from us and Amy.
Then we had to go park our cars where Josh wouldn't see
them before he saw us, which happened to be this corner
store about 2 miles from Josh's house! So there we were,
trucking our asses the long 2 miles in the 90 degree heat,
sucking on Gatorade...first some dirties slowed down and
yelled at us, something gross I am assured (since Morgan
was sporting some major boobage! You go girl!), then, as
we tried to take a shortcut across a field, Morgan got
stung by a bee on her foot! And this is happening as Jarod
is calling her celly for about the fifth time to freak out
cuz he had just passed Josh and his mom on the freeway and
was afraid he'd given away the secret. Yeah, so anyway, in
the end, it all turned out well and Josh was surprised. We
had much fun and were DEFINITELY not looking forward to
leaving each other's company.

In the morning on Monday, Josh's actual birthday, he had
gone to work early and the rest of us were still trying to
sleep, cept all the cellys in the house kept ringing, so
eventually we all woke up and it turned out to be Josh
calling to tell us some BAD news about Morgan's lil bro,
whom we have all become close to throughout his visits to
CMU and our visits to Morgan's. He didn't die or anything,
but anyway it was SUPER stressful and I couldn't let Morgan
drive herself home alone in her state, so I drove her back
to St.Joseph in her Durango. Now that is about a 2 and a
half hour drive, so in the end, I was FAR from my car and
EVERYONE was calling Morgan and I on our cellys to find out
about her brother. I had no clue how I was gonna get home,
but I didn't care cuz I just wanted him to get better and
to help Morgan with stuff she had to do and try to de-
stress her. In the end, Josh and Jarod ended up coming
over to pick me up in my car and then we went back to
Josh's for the night so that I could sleep before I drove
the 6 hours home from his house. But all together, I ended
up being gone for 5 days instead of 3, which was fine with
me, but I had to endure a little drama from my mother. She
understood why I stayed though. I mean really--who would
leave one of their best friends to suffer alone in that
situa?? Not me! That would be EVIL!

So there, that was last weekend....then this weekend was
MUCH more relaxed. I hung out with Amy Friday night and we
tried like hell to finish some stuff we wanted to get done
but to now avail...which leads me to tonight! Since we
were unsuccessful Friday night in completing our tasks, we
are getting together again tonight to finish up and maybe
work on some other stuff too! It should be fun...

Well, I am finding that my work is interfering with my
internet play time, so I should go and get some of it
done. Blah! Work! Whatev! Byes!
Love Me!
