Its been a while....

So, after my long break from writing only 4 people have commented? How sad is that. Thank you to my few loyal readers. I love ya. I decided to change my layout. Tell me what you think?

Thanksgiving break consisted of the Woods/Ruggles family fighting and eating. (I did have fun with you Robin, you made the holiday bearable.) What are holidays for but to put down each other in the name of holiday spirit. Yay. (dripping with sarcasm)


The past week has been much better though. My friends threw a surprise birthday party for me on Wed. Seeing as I had never had a real party on my birthday- it always falling on or around Thanksgiving- I was very pleased. Thanks to everyone that went in on the planning and execution. I appreciate it. More than you can know. I got lots of cool stuff: Matrix 10 disc DVD set, Spiderman 2, A spiderman hamper, a shirt, peppermint shotglasses, genuine clay poker chips, socks, a watch, *ahem* a namless embarrassing item that I assure the perpetrater sweet revenge for. I think this was the biggest/ best birthday I have had, and I milked it for everything its worth, using the phrase "Birthday Girl Says," numerous times througout the night in order to persuade people to do certain things for me. :) Thanks to everyone that sent me little messages wishing me a happy birthday too. Never have I had so much attention solely on me.

Funny/Scary story in conclusion to this boring post!
Seeing as my party was on a Wednesday night, I had to work the next morning. I couldn't call in because I have done so too much in the recent past. The partiers all left around 3 in the morning, and me and laura cleaned up and talked (unable to sleep) until about 4/4:30. I woke up at 5:30 FREEZING, so I jumped out of bed to turn up the heat. Couldn't fall back asleep. 7:45 roles around. Oops, Melody has to be at work in 15 min. I am in such a zombie state, the only things I remember that morning are getting into a very hot shower and I remember Jennifer and Anna persuading me to go take a nap in the office at work since our boss is on vacation. After my shift at work I walk out of the building and straight ahead is my car. Not in the designated parking lot two blocks down, but right next to my building on the North Oval, where I dont have a pass. It also happens to be parked on a yellow curb, on a cross walk. Here is the kicker...*I DONT REMEMBER PARKING THERE. Take it as you will. Its funny thinking how stupid it was, but also scary knowing I was driving my car in some various state of sleep.

*dont you dare make any 'women drivers' comments.
