you're the yellow bird i've been waiting for
I had to go to court this morning to show that I had gotten the illegal tinting taken off the windows in my truck so that they would dimiss my ticket. Anyways when I left the house it was a beautiful day. Then traffic was horrible. Then ominous grey puffs off terror came rolling in and sure enough it started downpouring. There was literally no parking by the court house. I had to park in Narnia and then with ten minutes to spare I abandoned my heels and made a full sprint to the courthouse through puddles and patches of soggy grass. Strangers looked at me funny. I feel like anyone running in a skirt and blouse with bare feet would look suspicious. I make it to the court house to find a line thirty people long out the door. Security check. A friendly person in line gently tells me while I'm texting that they don't even let cell phone in the building and they'll make you take it back to your car. I only have five minutes, not enough time to run back to my car. I make a split second decision to throw my phone into a nearby bush and pray it isn't stolen or water damaged by the time I get back. I get past security and race to make it to courtroom D. I'm literally there for five minutes. I show them my receipt from the detail shop that took of my tinting and the judge dismissed my charge. I go outside to get my phone and thanfully in my frustration I threw my phone really far into the thicket of bushes so I had to ninja crawl into them and retreive it. I then walked slowly back to my car not caring I was getting rained on because it was just that kind of morning. I spent the day at my dad's using his internet and eating his rainbow goldfish which made me feel better. I can't wait for tonight because Joey gets off work early so we can spend time together. I hate his new job because they have him working all the time and I just miss him a lot. I'm going to stop here because this is just a lot of girl whining. xoxo

Oh my goodness, what a day. Sometimes there are just those times when nearly everything seems to go wrong all at once. But I suppose all of the unluckiness that you're spared from on those absolutely perfect days of life has to collect itself somewhere for the future, right? If that makes sense, haha... I would totally have thrown my phone in the bushes and hoped for the best too. ;) And I hope that you and Joey can have some quality time together!

What an adventure! I'm glad everything worked out though. And I'm glad you and Joey get to spend time together. <3

Kait, you're superwoman. That sounded like no easy feat but if anyone could get out of it unscathed, it's you. Besides, it made for quite the story. :)
For whatever reason, the fact that you ate rainbow goldfish stood the most out to me. Perhaps I'm just hungry, haha.
Enjoy your time with Joey!

I feel for you hardcore. If it helps, I work at the courthouse and almost always forget to leave my phone in the car. I just feel for you a lot.

Sam's been working a lot, too.

We should just get together and eat soup or something.

Love.

that's one hardcore adventure. maybe not the fun/exciting kind, but definitely an adventure.

also, that sounds like one hell of a downpour, and i'm sorry you don't get to see much of joey lately :(

I never understand why tinted windows are illegal or whatever. They're just dark blerg.

I'm glad your phone was safe, and in a weird way the running in the rain sounds good, even if you were in a skirt and blouse.
