I took a week off of work because I was too burnt out to continue without punching a lot of customers in the face, screaming "EFF YOU, I'M HUMAN TOO, AND I QUIT" and walking out. After ordering a bunch of unwanted food for every single table in the restaurant.
So I drowned my sorrows in shopping. In the process I watched my lovely roommie Liz wrestle with a size 2 mannequin.
And then hosted a weekend of debauchery with my good friend David. We had shots. Lots and lots of shots.
(HAPPY BIRTHDAY POGSTER!)
The next day, I got a call about an old car who had a flat. Ah, Ford Probes. What a lovely heap of junk. It was my first car and I loved it dearly. Got in lots of accidents. However, my car looked much better than this one...probably because I got rid of it 4 years ago.
We stripped the nuts. Just jack it up! SO MANY EUPHEMISMS, SO LITTLE TIME.
Later in the week, I soberly travelled home to witness my brother's graduation. We were at the dinner table celebrating our family's 3 birthdays, 2 graduations, and Fathers' Day all at once. Lots of opening of gifts. My mother yelled at my little brother about leaving the price stickers on my older bro's present. Then proceeded to hand out these gifts to her three children.
Note the present price sticker. She frantically started ripping the gifts out of our hands to peel the stickers off, only for my smartass lil brother to point out the price was in Australian dollars, not USD. (The reason the picture was so blurry was because I was fighting my 62 year-old mother off of me, after she knew the sticker was not in USD. That's how opposed she is to price tags on gifts.)
Needless to say, it was one of those bust-a-gut times when you're not supposed to laugh, but you just have too.
Being in Central PA is kind of relaxing. I forgot how much I missed having a car and blasting music. And how much I love buying fresh food from the Amish.
Oh, and how much I love the cheap drugs stuff.
I hope you looked carefully at that picture.
If you didn't laugh, you didn't look carefully enough.
My time in Central PA comes to a premature end as we are all traveling back to Philly for my graduation Saturday. So, until then, here is the token photograph of Nelly. Playing/eating a piece of paper. Not just once, she was going at it ALL WEEK LONG (twss?)!
I think it's safe to say she will never graduate from school. But here is photographic evidence that the cat can eat my homework.
FIN.
now i'm curious, exactly what was the west end store selling 10 lbs. of for $3.5??
