*sigh* out of work at last. The thunderstorm kept me up late last night, so 5:00 am came early this morning. Well, I didn't realize until, well, just now that it has been a while since I have posted. So all three of you that read this, my humblest apologies. ;-)
Fourth of July weekend was fantabulous, with wonderful friends visiting and dragging me to the Muth and painting beautiful pictures with me. Hurray for wonderful, supportive friends! Course, I had to WORK on the fourth, but that's oky. Got my first sunburn of the summer, FINALLY, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I finished 'Memoirs of a Geisha' which was an awsome book ( I almost put fantabulous again, but then realized I had already used that word ) and I highly recommend it. It explains things a lot better than the movie did, if that confused you. Speaking of the movie we are watching it right now at my house, but I don't think anyone else likes it. I love it if you haven't noticed.
I went to a vintage baseball game yesterday, and it was pretty cool. A friend of ours is on the team, they play with the rules from 1884 and wear old fasioned uniforms and everything, it's a whole league that has their championship tournament on Mackinac Island every year. Apparently Bay City has a team and that's where we were. I saw Colin today and was surprised by how it effected me...hmmm. We were planing a trip to King's Island this summer, but just yesterday there was an accident there on Son of the Beast that injured 27 people, hmmm, maybe not a good idea. I want to do something to my hair, but I don't know what. I am considering a light perm, and I think I want to color it, because believe it or not, I have some gray hair popping up, I can't believe it.
My TV is sick, I am so sad! It won't play DVD's anymore, it gets angry and goes to a blue screen when you try to play them and then it eats them. I took it to the doctor but the TV repair place hasn't called and they have had my TV for five days. O my gosh though, speaking of that, the funniest thing happened. My sister and I went to this little TV fixit place in Vassar on Wednesday afternoon, and when we walked in, the door made all those angry noises like it's supposed to so that the workers know someone came in. I go in and put my poor TV on the counter and look around, no one is there. I wait a while, thinking they were busy in that back and will come out soon. Nothing. Ooookay, where is everyone? We call out 'helllooo?' a couple of times but no one answers. We are really confused so my sister calls my mom to tell her what is up. My mom says she will call them and see if anybody picks up. I think that is really dumb because I am standing two inches from the desk phone that very second, but say oky whatever. My sister hangs up with my mom and after a few seconds, the phone in the store starts to ring. I seriously consider answerng it myself when we hear a groan from down the hallway at the back of the store. Right away my overreacting mind thinks 'O my God, is someone dying back there and we have just been standing here letting them die?' but no, that wasn't the case. A phone in the back picks up and we hear an elderly Asian woman say 'Hello, Lee's TV and repair.' (up until that point it had never occured to me that the Lee of Lee's TV was probobly Asian, duh) Then we here the lady say 'yes we are open today' and then after a while 'what? they are here right now?' and then a head pops out from around the corner with a phone on it's ear, and the lady see us and goes 'oh!' and said thanks to my mom and hung up and came to help us. She was so cute when she came out to help us, I couldn't be mad at her, plus the whole thing was just funny, I guess you had to be there...
