Denver Trip
Day 3
8-20-08
I love vacations, even when I have to wake up at 6:30 in the
very, very AM. Today I have my doctors’ appointment at the Women’s Center for
an annual exam I’ve put off for a couple of years. The doctors’ office is close
to mom’s work, so she is going to take me on her hour lunch break. Which of
course means I had to come to work with her. I could not find a internet
connection so I grabbed disk 3 of the second season of Gilmore Girls and am
having a small marathon in a corner empty desk. I’ve had 1.5 cups of coffee so
far and a single bite of Slim-Fast Optima Chewy Granola Chocolate Chip Bar. I’ve
only had one bite because my stomach immediately rejected that single bite and
there’s not much chance of me eating anymore unless I become starved. (Which
might happen cause, I don’t think mom planned food in this day, lol!) I might
have her drop me off at the mall after the doctors’ appt. Yummm, over priced food
court pizza…every mall has that right??? One can hope.
The visit was the best one I have had, ever. From now on I have to come to CO once a year for this exam. We ate burgers down in the hospital cafeteria, my Turkey, Bacon Cheeseburger and fries were delicious. Mom dropped me off at the mall where I found the pizza area and grabbed what looked to be a supremely delicious pepperoni/olive pizza, looks can be deceiving. I hate to say it, but this mall was boring. There was not a single place that sold DVD’s or CD’s, and the only electronic store was Radio Shack, I won’t even go into that store as everything is twice the cost it should be. So I found a place to get a 20 minute massage for $20, it felt great! I decided to go for a walk and ended up walking crossing four six lane roads (at the stop lights) and taking a bridge over a highway before finding myself at Mom’s place of work. I may have taken one wrong turn at some point too. But I made it, in thirty minutes no less.
As a person, Mom’s boss is very nice. I may have jumped on
him for turning off the air conditioning a little after I arrived because I was
still hot from my walk. The sun IS a mile closer after all, and even though I pretty
much walk everywhere I can walk to, I still get hot. We had great conversations
about school and getting through it and what to do after ward. He told me that
I needed to come live in Colorado. A woman mom does not like came in and
accused me of being my mom’s replacement. I rolled my eyes. Then it was time to
go.
The trip back did not seem to take nearly as long as it did
yesterday. Of course I was not feeling sick either. We stopped at King Soopers
for a few provisions before making our way the few blocks back to the house. I
made a pizza and we lay in bed eating it while watching Eureka, then mom went
to bed and I went on to watch Dead Zone, Ghost Hunters International and something
else that was so unimpressive apparently, that’s I’ve forgotten what it was!
This year was my first Valentines Day with some on other them family. :)
THE PLAN
My new dining room table set was to come in, in the morning.
Matt and I were going to go on a picnic at a park.
Then Matt and I were going to go see a movie.
WHY PLAN?
Things are not going to go by the plan, you realize this when at 2pm, the table is still not there. Mom K appeared at my door to surprise me and took me out to eat. Then we waited...waited...and waited until almost dark for the table which finally arrived. It is beautiful!!! It is the nicest thing I have ever owned!
Matt and I quickly decided we didn't want to picnic in the dark so we headed for KFC before out 9:30pm movie. We watched The Spiderwick Chronicals. I loved it!
Matt surprised me with a dozen white roses, a box of chocolate hearts and a card. A wonderful Valentines day!
To continue my Superbowl madness blog, I went to work yesterday and was immediately pulled into a game of spying. Occasionally we get customers who like to order food, eat it and for whatever reason throw away the container without paying for it first. Some just forget, a lot know what they're doing. We had one customer who was so distraught upon reaching home and realizing he had done it, that he called and told us he would be coming back to pay for it later that night. He did, and to to this day, in my three years with this company, has been the only one.
Well yesterday a large group of high schoolers came in and one ordered from the Cafe. My boss watched him as he stood in line with his friends at the check out but never get close enough to pay. Then his friends left and he was left alone with the box that his unpaid food had been in. Noticing that my boss was watching him he stopped looking at the garbage can and walked off back towards the check outs. This is when I came in, she grabbed me before I could get in the case and explained what was going on.
We watched as he got out of the check out line again and begin to slowly walk to the other side of the store where he stopped at Beer and Wine. After looking around aimlessly every once in awhile looking to see if we were still near he went back to the checkout lanes. He stopped to talk to some friends and just looked around for awhile until finally a look of defeat appeared on his face and he went to the self check out lanes and paid. That was a fun start to my work day. :)
California: Day Eight: Hollywood and Dooms Day
10-7-07
What an awesome day! We woke up at 7am and left for our free breakfast. We drove to the Allys where I set out to talk down someone for a larger screen 4GB MP3/MP4 player. But all anyone had were one's that had cameras on the back which made them more expensive. Guess it's E-bay for me! But other wise the Ally's are a lot of fun! Step in with you money in your pocket (one not likely to be pick pocketed) your purse, safely at home. If your not a good bergener, take someone who is. And go for it! Almost anything you can think of can be found there and almost nothing has a price tag.
The Farmers Market should be your stop for lunch. An entire building filled with fruits and restaurant of many different cultures can be found packed into a floor of the building. Be warned, have quarters for the restroom, and dining room is rare. So if your going to eat there, find the small table area and be merciless. This is not the time to be nice. Your job is to stand with your food in the middle of the dining area and look for the table most likely to be finished with there food first. Then get fairly close to it and wait. As the people at the table begin to clean up you slide in before they are completely done. This is common here, and the other people probably won't take offense as they most likely did the same thing. You will be glared at by other people who did not get the table, ignore them and enjoy. Just, don't take offense when someone sits down at your table before you have completely gotten up yourself.
Hollywood was our next stop where I got to step in the footprints of the stars. I took pictures of the Harry Potter crew and more. Then had pictures taken of me with Jack Sparrow. Men in black suet appeared and made everyone leave the area as a movie premier was about to happen with Jennifer Lopez on her way. We watched as the red carpet was spread out before walking down Hollywood Blvd, reading the stars on the ground as we went.
On the way home I realized I forgot my jacket at the hotel so we stopped back at the hotel before heading home.
The rest of the day did not go as well. I took my cameras to Walgreens (I forgot my camera) and found out that the computer was broken so I would not be getting my pictures until tomorrow. We got back only to find that the painters had not finished there work. They had trashed the place while moving things, and had cut cords which means lights and fan's no longer work. I dropped a metle part of the vibrating bed on my toe, and after I stopped the bleeding found it to be very bruised. Everything that had been in dad's room was now on my bed.
We watched Knocked up, that was pretty good; but it was burned. Should have known. And finally, finally, I learned the exact date of the end of the world.
