I went to bed late, as I decided to watch my Netflix movie. When I woke up at 0800 to take out Puck, I was not very happy to learn he wanted to be a shit today. He chased a rabbit into the woods, then refused to come out. I came back inside with plans to leave him out until my parents woke up, but I figured he'd eat something or stink by the time that happened, so I went back out and called him more. Finally, he came my way and I was so mad, I bent down to check his teeth and smell him and felt/heard a small "pop" in my head. We came in and I told him to go eat his dinner and I got back in bed.
I somehow didn't wake up until 1040! A bit later than I meant to sleep, but oh well. I changed, washed my face, then notice how red my right eye was. I put some eye drops in and went to eat cereal. My dad stopped to wish me a happy birthday and sit with me while I ate, but halfway through eating, Tyler called!
Dad decided to go about his business while I finished eating, then came to my room to chat with Tyler. He had four pieces of fried chicken, but no succotash for dinner. I didn't know until tonight when discussing this with my parents that succotash is not a vegetable in and of itself... it's corn and lima beans (or other shelled beans)! I always imagined it as a root vegetable... like rutabaga. Well now I know!
I did get to chat with Ty for 32 minutes! It was nice to be able to chat that long, though there were lulls, as we don't have as much to chat about when we don't physically see one another. I told him that I was going to lower the price of the house to $158K, but I think we should offer it to the Aultman's for $155k flat. We're sinking $16,000 into this house in the time that no one is living in it, but we're still paying for it. It's better to sell and lose a couple thousand, than hold on to it for a full year and lost $16k + however much more until we sell.
Anyway, after I chatted with Ty. We discussed what the "plan" for the day was and that we'd go to dinner at Olive Garden. My dad kept asking what I want to eat and I kept saying that I had no idea what I wanted, but I could tell him what I didn't want. As I had a massage scheduled for 1615 at Westgate, I suggested eating in that area. They weren't too keen on Quiznos, but had mentioned Olive Garden a few times in the past couple weeks, so I said fine.
Mom and I headed to her school -- I drove, since Ty said he was going to bed and not getting online. However, as I was driving, he Tango-ed me. The reception was terrible. I could neither hear nor see him and I couldn't hold the phone because I had to drive -- we were in the Matrix and it's surprisingly difficult to steer... definitely takes both hands. He ended up sending me a HeyTell message, which was sweet, but I was upset that he was awake and not sleeping, since he had to be up super early! My mom was irritated at me for being upset, but I said, "It doesn't matter how cute he sounds if he doesn't come home because he didn't get enough sleep!" She sees it as he's being sweet and sounds so cute, but I see it as life and death and I can't afford to have him not get enough sleep because I need him. I did later send him a message telling him that I appreciated his thinking of me.
We stopped by Rita's because mom wanted a treat, but they didn't have any flavors I cared for and she didn't want to get one by herself. We returned some audiobooks to the library and mailed my Netflix movie, then we went to Great Harvest to get and split a smoothie. She didn't want a lid for her smoothie and suggested sitting on the bench in the store. I sat down and hear, "Oh, crap!" and when I look over, I see smoothie dripping down her shirt and all over her pants! I get up to get her napkins as a family walks in. Now, unfortunately for her, it was a pink smoothie and she was wearing her white shorts, so I suggested sneaking out before the family turned around and noticed her. She agreed and we got in the car. I was laughing, as was she, and I WISH I had seen what she had done! She said that the funny thing is she thought she was being really careful. I said, "I bet you were trying not to spill or drop your bread and forgot you said you didn't want a lid on your smoothie."
I started the car and notice we were totally low on gas, so we had to stop and fill up before we could go back home to get her a change of clothes. We did get a cooler with some ice packs for the cookie cake slices, so they wouldn't melt in the car, while we were home.
We headed to the mall, picked up our treats, then headed toward Teacher Heaven where she showed me stuff she wanted for her classroom. Her ideas consisted of: Albert Einstein with some "Think Like a Scientist" stuff around him, some pink and green with zebra print and "dragons" (alligators), a few monkeys, then some robots (to tie it all together)! I had to tell her that there's no amount of robots that could tie all that together. I suggested ONE theme and that it be science, but only science that she will teach. She is having a hard time realizing she's really only teaching one subject.
We chatted in the car until 1600 when we drove to my massage. The guy was pretty good, though he was an "energy" kinda guy... where they lay their hands on you and think positive thoughts -- as far as I'm concerned, that's a waste of my time. Push on my muscles and make me feel better already! He spent about 10 extra minutes on me, which was nice, though the last half I was so freaking HOT under the covers that I was almost sweating, plus I had to burp and my chest kept making noises when I'd try to breathe, which was embarrassing.
We went to Olive Garden for dinner. It was sad how empty it was... I've never seen the CenTex OG anything less that packed. Food was good, though we waited for quite a while to get our food.
We came home and watched Covert Affairs, then Royal Pains. They then wanted to watch a show I don't care to start watching because I don't need to become interested in any new shows. I think I may watch something on Netflix streaming for a bit, then go to sleep. As for now, Puck needs to go out and potty.
