1st Anniversary

This is a comment I stole from one of my high school friends' blog, the day after my wedding. It meant so much to me at the time, I wanted to keep it.

"I attended a wedding tonight of a dear old friend. I heard the words spoken again on how marriage is the extinguishing of each individuals light in favor of a unified light, living together for each other and no longer apart. I did not understand the literal representation of this idea until I talked to my friend after the ceremony and found her matured into an adult. In the matter of a day, she had grown up. No longer a youthful individual, but an adult living her life. The life of her adulthood."

Thanks Josh.

A look back:

The first year for Joe and I has definitely not been easy. Our first apartment in Norman was 500 square feet, one bed one bath, and couldn't even hold all our furniture and belongings, especially after Joe moved in after the wedding.
The honeymoon was amazing, I had never been anywhere. So to leave the country for the first time and go somewhere so beautiful with the man you love made this trip amazing.



Joe and I had school and work, this made for a difficult start to the marriage, and financially it was straining. Then Joe graduated and got a job and we moved into our first house and got our first car, Made an addition to the family, Evey. And the first year is over. That quick. For our anniversary on friday we had tickets to see CCR. Then I took off work on saturday and we went to the lake. Then we came home, got dressed up, and Joe took me to a steak dinner. Then the traditional eating of the leftover cake and champagne.


Here's to many more years.

Wreck

So, I got in my first accident on thursday, and I'm just now feeling the effects.

I was driving down a two lane highway on my way into town to buy groceries. I was going to make a left hand turn onto a side street, and started to slow and turned on my signal. Then, just as I'm about halfway into the turn and barely in the next lane i get sideswiped and a car goes into the ditch ahead of me. SCARED ME TO DEATH, since there was no oncoming traffic, and the car seemed to come out of NOWHERE. I was going slow enough to pull somewhat controllably into the ditch after the turn. So, aparently this is what happened:

I'm minding my own business, driving the speed limit, slowing for a turn, with my blinker on. Then a girl, probably speeding, comes up behind me fast and decides to pass me. (I think she was on a cell phone, cause she was on it when she stepped out of the car) She doesn't notice my brake lights or signal and crashes into the side of me then into the ditch. She jumps out of the car and the first words out of her mouth are "Where was your blinkER!"
I say "It was on!" *bitch*( didn't say that, but thought about it)
THen when we hear sirens she asks if i'm okay. Which physically is true, but i'm freaked out.

The ambulance really wants to take me to the hospital, cause there was a mark from my seatbelt, and they think that I could have done something to my collar bone. But I'm too freaked out for that, and I deny it. She tells me I'm gonna have whiplash and be sore the next day, they take my vitals, and leave.

The kicker is that the cops give us both tickets!

WHat in the hell did i do wrong? "Improper Movement from Direct Course" was what he wrote me up for. Cause when she tells the officer that she didn't see brake lights or a turn signal, he checks my car and sure enough they aren't working. I had no idea they weren't working, and frankly i'm not convinced that they just didn't stop working after she creamed me in her POS.

So the officer only gives her a ticket for passing within 150 feet or something within an intersection, not for reckless driving or anything! The whole time he was oggling her, and giving her special treatment, and I find out she's a hooters girl.

So she thinks its my fault and starts taking a bunch of pictures of her POS which was already banged up, and probably wasn't worth $300 to begin with. Needless to say she messed with the wrong family. Seeing as my dad is an officer, and Joe's dad is a US attorney. If she starts something it will end with me.

GRRR!

Rough

Things have been rough lately. My job is pretty demanding, especially since i'm the newbie. I end up doing my job and everyone elses side jobs. But I'm getting the hang of everything really quickly. I'm starting to get my groove working a section of eight booths. These past two weeks schedule-wise have been horrible, because i've been getting the crappy shifts. This means I work doubles, and seeing as FOUR people quit over the last week, there are a lot of open shifts. I've even been asked in to BARTEND! Which is interesting, because I have no bar experience up until now. But the majority of drinks bought are margaritas and those are premade, so only a couple of drinks I have to look up and figure out. But now that I know my way around in the bar, and I'm one of only a few people over the age of 21, I've become a workhorse to some people. I have to get their drinks for them, because they can't go behind the bar and we dont have a bartender during the lunch shift.

Last night was the worst.

Evey went to the vet yesterday. They said she had puppy hookworms. Pretty common, and gave me some pills to give her with dinner. All went well until Joe and I were just about to fall asleep. Evey made some interesting noises and I jumped up to discover she had vomited all over the carpet. The pills made her nauseated all night long. She figeted and wandered around all night and wouldn't sleep. Needless to say I finally got to sleep around 4 am. Then opened Peppers Grill this morning. I'm exhausted. Poor evey. No, Poorer Melody......

Grindhouse

Well, Rodriguez and Tarantino have done it again. Joe and I went to see Grindhouse last night as our date night, since I will be gone all tonight and tomorrow with Odyssey of the Mind.

It was not to be expected. I had no idea what it was about on the way in there. But I came out satisfied. I give it a B. So if you like lots of gore, violence, Hot babes, Tarantino banter and dialogue, and outrageous storylines....this movie is for you.

I thought you might like and update on Evey, considering I post a picture almost everytime I write. She went to the groomers this week and got the standard schnauzer cut, its cute. She looks like a little english gentleman, I think. I've been joking with Robin for sometime about schnauzers looking like little gentlemen with beards, and how it would be funny if she had a little plaid sweater and a monacle. *giggle.
She makes you wanna say "hello govna," in that english accent.

Patience my girl

May 4th here i come.

I feel like that episode of south park where Cartman is tired of waiting for the Wii to come out and decides to have himself frozen with Butters' help. That way Butters can just wake him the day it comes out.
*hmmm, it could work.....
