Bad Day...Saved

Yesterday was one of those days that could have gone down on record as the worst, but ended up being pleasant.

It started out normal enough, but the main Parts Dept. lady decided to go give blood right after lunch and never showed back up again. This time of year is really busy for replacement parts, so I was swamped doing her job plus mine all afternoon. On top of that our company picnic is today and yesterday the organizer comes into my office and volunteers me to be on a volleyball team, since not enough people were signed up. I really don't want to play. I'm not that good, and I hate not being good at something. But I guess I had no choice.

Then I went to the bank after work. Got back into my truck and something in the ignition module broke and got stuck in the partially on phase- The one where the radio and lights and everything are on, but the car won't start. Its 96° outside and I'm stuck in the parking lot at the bank.

I called Joe to come get me and waited on him in the hot truck cause I'm too embarrassed to go back in the bank in the air conditioning. He shows up and tries to work on it to no avail.
So he takes me home.

On the way he's so frustrated about the truck, he forgets to watch his speed, and we get pulled over by a cop. Thankfully I talk him down enough that he's pleasant to the cop and just gets a warning.

Really just a freaking bad day so far.

But I ask a couple of my guy friends to come to the volleyball court in the park and give me some pointers, so I don't look like an idiot when I get out there. They were really patient and nice, even though it was freaking hot outside, and I got to work off my excess frustrated energy through good, old fashioned sweat. So even though I'm stuck riding my motorcycle for a while, no matter the weather... and the day started out really poorly, it ended well.

*Cheers to good friends*

And I've got an awesome float trip this weekend to look forward to.

A grownup version of Twilight

Jen and I have become addicted to True Blood.



Its basically the ADULT version of the Twilight Series.



Except the author of this book series turned award-winning HBO series, wrote her books like a decade before the Twilight phenomenon.
In many ways I feel like the Twilight series was a knockoff.
You have your normal girl, falls in love with the 'good' vampire, with a love triangle involving her best friend thats also a shapeshifter.

Sound familiar?

But True Blood is not for anyone under the age of 21.
Which makes me feel elitist and special, cause I feel like a dufus going to the twilight movies and being the only one that can legally drive in the theater.

The new season starts this month.
And my mouth is watering. The next book in the series was steamy, so the season should be really good!

And there is nothing wrong with liking vampire books.
I don't mind being a dork.
I'm like the original vampire groupie.

GO ANITA BLAKE, and OLD SCHOOL BRAM STOKERS!

Haven't read em? Don't know what I'm talking about?
POSER!
