Happy 4th of July! Food here i come!
Ok so, yesterday was a hell of a day. It started decently enough. I ate half a donut ( i couldnt not eat some after he brought them home :( sigh) so i just ate half. I got up got dressed and went out to get my hair cut. This is where everything went down hill.
So i get to the hair place and they are shorthanded and swamped. So i waited for an hour to get a 15 min haircut. But i needed it. My hair was taking on a mind of its own and was getting very scary. So it had to be done. So , i get into the chair, explain to the nice lady that i only want it to be cut to my shoulders and i want to keep most of my layers. Apparently her idea of to my shoulders and mine are completely different. Because when she finished i looked like a poodle. Sigh. Its a bit shorter then i would have liked but after looking at it 10 thousand times i figured it would work as long as i straighten it EVERY DAY. Esp in the summer b/c once i walked out my hair poofed due to the lovely arkansas humidity.
So i get in the car with my new do, and head off to little rock to pick up a bag of baby clothes from freecycle . I resell clothes on ebay and through yard sales. So whenever i get gifted free things im all over it. So i follow my directions, get to the house park and go to open the truck ( keys are still in the ignition) and set off my car alarm on accident. Car door is open im trying to shut it off and get the trunk open at the same time. All while not taking the keys out of the ignition. SO , i get out of the car, go to the steps of the porch where the lady has left them for me, pick up the bag go put it in the trunk, go to get back in my car .... and uh oh. I did not do this. I locked the keys, purse, phone everything in my car. When i was trying to shut the car alarm off i hit the lock button. I didnt see this. I shut the door with keys in ignition ( not on thank god). Yah. Im 35 min from my house, my phone is in my car and i have no clue what kinda neighborhood im in ( looks decent) i noticed the next door neighbors out and they kindly let me use their cell to call my mom, then call a lock service, and while im doing this the neighbor i had gotten the clothes from ventures over with her 10 month old twin boys lol. I felt like a complete tool. They were super nice and waited out the 30 min + that it took the guy ( who's first day it was yah me) to unlock the car. He couldnt do it ( apparently my 2007 mustang is difficult) and had to call someone else to come out ( who opened it in a matter of a minute) and then i had to wait 10 more minutes for him to authorize my card in the lovely heat. By the time i was back in the car with the air on full blast id bee there for 45+ min and was drenched in sweat. I had also had nothing to eat since very early that morning and it was already after 4 pm.
I left and went to the post office i had to b/c of the holiday today. By the time i finally got home it was after 6 pm and i was starving. I did however only eat a small plate of my dinner. And i had a coke zero and some water. Then i went to sleep. I was exhausted.
So now its 4 am and im up and getting ready for the 4th. Its rained all night so i have to call my parents to make sure its not raining up at the lake as im taking my dog and myself up there for a few hours today to go out on the boat. Im kinda nervous though b/c i have to wear a swimsuit. I look horrible in one. So i think im going to wear a pair of short shorts and a tshirt over it all day or something. i wanna get some sun but mainly on my legs.
Ive already packed a small bag of 100 calorie snack packs to keep me tied over most of the day. And ill be packing 3 or 4 water bottles as well as the crystal light packets to put in the water. And ill take one coke zero to drink on the 45 min drive up there. I wont be able to smoke on my brothers boat (ugh) so ill be eating i think more. So i figured healthy was better then lots of burgers and fat that they are going to have out there. Im almost tempted to juice up some yummy pineapple and strawberry juice and put it in a container to take up there to drink on.
I just want to take a moment to give thanks to all the retired and active service men and women on this day. Thank you for serving for us. Thank you for everything you do. And to the fallen soldiers family- thank you for the ultimate sacrifice. I know first hand how hard it is.
