Everytime it rains, it rains pennies from heaven...

I love everything about the rain! I love wearing jackets! I love umbrellas. I love free car washes!! I love it! So as you can imagine, I can't wait to go to work tomorrow just so I can walk that huge parking lot in the rain. Yum!

Yesterday, was a not so awesome day. I should have know right at midnight when the day started. I was driving home and found myself on the wrong freeway and getting home in an hour as opposed to the usual 25 minutes it takes me. Later on that day, I wasn't able to save the document I was working on for a good 5 hours on my computer, which was REALLY weird because it didn't prompt me to save when I closed the program. I freaked slightly when I discovered what I had done and spent a good 45 minutes afterward googling "RECOVERING AUTO-SAVE", but nothing would work. Then, to make the day UBER crappy, when I finally got home that night, I discovered that my house key had fallen off of my key chain and I was locked out. The bed I wanted to cry into was behind a bolt and a security system and I was depressed as f*ck.

It definitely could have been worse, that's for sure. But life was pretty shitty right then and there.

Luckily my roomie Erica had gotten off work early and was able to rescue me from my despair. She also got me a new key which I promptly added onto my keychain. Midnight came again, and that wretched day was over with.

Today was good. I saved everything I worked on and I didn't have to beat any computers senseless.

OH!! And I got a full tank of gas with $20.

:) I can't complain.

Cha-cha-cha-changes....

I went back *home* this pass weekend, and lo and behold, I drove right into a fire. Literally.



As the day progressed, the fire inched closer and and closer to Chino Hills, and lo and behold, our city was a buzz with reporters, helicopters, and smoke. First earthquakes, now fires... but I guess it could be worse. Did you see Buffy and what happened to Sunnydale?!

By 6pm, they closed all the freeways that were nearby... and there went our plans to go out for the evening. So we stayed in and ate ice cream and bagel bites. Emergency food rocks.
