Life in Oklahoma 1.9
So today is my first day as a 25 year old.
LoL. It's not a whole lot different than being 24.
Yesterday was a good day. I had to work early, so I opened the store, worked for a few hours and then headed home. I was kidnapped for lunch to Olive Garden for yummy goodness. Good food, good friends, and funny stories. The lunch crew came out and sang to me and gave me yummy donuts to dip into caramel, chocolate, and raspberry sauce. Yummy! When I was done with my donuts I decorated my plate with the left over sauces. :) LoL. :) It was fun. :)
After lunch I was kidnapped to our mountains. They are beautiful, small but beautiful. And since I've seen "real" mountains, I know they are really just a big rocky hill...lol. It's my favorite place since I've moved back to Lawton. I bring all my friends there, and when I feel worked up, its where I wanna go to calm down.
On the way down we pulled off to the side of the mountain road, RI wanted to climb up. So we get out of the car and she started up the face. I headed off to the side to come up an easier way. SS started on my side and went up a different path. The wind started to get really bad, and for one second as I tried to bridge a small space I was for sure I was gonna fall and die. LoL. So, I waited for the wind to die down and tried again. I made it to where RI and SS were and told them I was too out of shape for this business, especially when I wasn't wearing proper shoes or hiking clothes.
I head back down to the car when RI said she wanted to finish climbing back up to the top and have me drive the car up to get her. When SS and I were in the car, I head up the mountain, but stop not too far from the little pull off. I look up tho the top where RI is standing on the bluff with her arms out. I yelled to her and she signaled for us to stay there because there wasn't any way for her actually get to the top.
I back down to the pull off, and wait. We sit for a few minutes waiting for her to get down, when she doesn't show we get out of the car. She is in sight, but just barely, and trying to make her way down. I yell up to her, get her attention. She starts yelling at me and waving her arms. "Never back down the fucking mountain again! I thought you were gonna die." I laugh, and gesture to the pull off. Then she lets us know she isn't sure how she is gonna get down. SS and I laugh and then head up the other side to show her how to get down.
When we are ensconced in the car I let her know that while she was picturing how she was gonna tell T what happened to me, I was likewise picturing how I was gonna tell the Kid what happened to his mom. Both scenarios started off with, "Well, you see, what had happened was..." lol.
Later we went to Texas Roadhouse, where T was working the late shift. Yummy steak and fun talk later I was headed off to have a drink with E, M, JT. I have a Prohibidado...which is a nick name for Hynotiq and Pineapple. I bought one for E, because it was his 21st. I two-stepped around the floor with JT, hugged everyone and headed back to work.
RI was overseeing the cleaning of the floors at the store. I got there about 12:30 and made it till about 2:45 a.m. The intervening hour and a half were spent reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone aloud to RI. I crashed and RI woke me up around 5:50 to head to the car.
That was my birthday. :) Fun day, huh? I am sitting on the RI's couch during this update and she wanted me to state that even more fun things were to come tomorrow. :) Yay.
Next time I will update on my ex's second visit to my lovely state, and the time she spent here, along with whatever adventures we girls get up to tomorrow. :)
