Mattress Surfing

So… last week I kind of sort of probably totaled my car.

Yes, that’s right!¬† Last Saturday I was on my way to visit James and Renae down in Costa Mesa.¬† I was on the 57 south in the fast lane traveling about 75mph in the fast lane.¬† I had just past the Honda Center and was next to Angel Stadium when the cars ahead of me began to merge out of the lane.¬† The reason for their actions was that there was mattress in the middle of the lane!¬† I began to break and I was unable to merge into another lane.¬† I continued to break…. break…. break… Screech… BANG!!!!!!¬† I was rear ended by a astro mini-van.¬† I’m not sure whose car did the screeching.¬† It took me a little while to figure out that I had been hit, by that time I was in the carpool lane several feet from the van and the mattress.

A CHP officer was soon on the scene and the two vehicles and the mattress where moved onto the shoulder. The paramedics were called along with tow trucks.¬† Nobody was taken away by the paramedic, but my car was towed…. the muffler was scraping the ground.

I went to urgent care to get myself checked out…. the doctor said that I have a strained neck.

I am now in possesion of a rental car.¬† The status of my vehicle is unknown… probably totaled.¬† I am somewhat sore but can survive without medicine. And in conclusion I don’t know what happened to the matress.

Random Ramblings

Grrr. I made great plans for today. It was my day off and I was going to seclude myself at the coffee bean, which has free Wi-Fi, and I was going to spend time on the internet. Checking email, blogging, Subway University, etc., well I made it to coffee bean just fine, ordered my drink and got ready to use my computer. Wouldn‚Äôt you know it… my computer decides it does not like the internet today. Oh, it says I‚Äôm connected‚Ķ but nothing is loading. On top of that, I had brought my headphones so that no one would have to listen to all my subway stuff‚Ķ and my computer won‚Äôt admit that I have even plugged them it. Sometimes computers make me want to go crazy.

I rebooted my computer… that didn’t help. Texted my brother… he can’t help until I visit tomorrow. My only solution is to give up, go home, and finish the book I was reading.

Well, seems how I am writing I might as well give a good update about my life. As usual, work keeps be busy. Oh the drama of work! Half the time I can’t help laughing at all of it. Most recently, I heard a rumor that I was trying to get someone fired! I’ll try to tell this story as simple as possible. One morning I was working with two other shift leaders. One of them is usually a closer (like me) and we were commenting how another closing shift lead has become “comfortable” with work. Well somehow, word traveled and the shift leader who we said was “comfortable” heard that me and the other person thought she was “lazy” which then was interpreted, as we want to get her fired! Honestly, I should know better than to say anything like that at work. It doesn’t matter who you work with, whatever you say will be spread through the entire store by the next day. Nothing is ever held in confidence. I guess that comes with working with a bunch of girls.

Life in the dorm is going normal. Hannah and I see each other every occasionally. Between our work schedules, different churches, and her doctor appointments, we see one another for maybe two 15-minute sessions a day (that’s just Monday through Thursday). From Friday to Sunday, it is actually a miracle if we see each other. I think we have become fairly good at summing up our days in those few minutes.

I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain last week with my Sunday School Class. It was a blast. I honestly couldn‚Äôt tell you what was the best ride‚Ķ terminator‚Ķ batman… tatsu‚Ķ I don‚Äôt know they were all pretty fun. Although I definitely didn‚Äôt like the line for superman‚Ķ dark tunnel‚Ķ crowded‚Ķ hour wait‚Ķ I couldn‚Äôt wait for fresh air! My only regret was that we didn‚Äôt get to go on X2‚Ķ both times we got in line we were informed that the ride was down.

I can’t wait for August. I get to go on vacation! I will by flying home then driving with my parents and brother up to Oregon to attend my cousins wedding. I will be gone for two weeks! When I return I will be registering for my classes and back in school. I feel as if summer is flying by!

I’m not sure what else I should say. Oh! I cut my hair! It is now above my shoulders. I haven’t had it this short in over 5 years. It is taking a little while to get used to, especially when I have to try to put it up for work.

Today is my little brother’s and Grandpa’s birthdays. Daniel is 19! Man that makes me feel old… even if I’m only 20 I made sure I texted him bright and early this morning to wish him a great bday. Well, in actuality, it was still dark outside, and I hadn’t gone to bed yet. I’m sure he appreciated a text just after midnight though.

Ok. I need to stop rambling. Hope you enjoyed reading about everything.
