So you will never guess where I just came from. Well, I was just standing outside my house in my skivvies. Why? You ask. It is a combination of my neurotic nature and modern technology. The house alarm went off, just after I had fallen in to my REM cycle and I nearly fainted, which wouldn't have been dramatic at all seeing as I was already lying down. Keep in mind this alarm in insanely loud, I think they are trying to scare off the bad guys, but I am not sure. So obviously I panic. I was so nervous I almost bust out my window because I was too scared to go into the hallway, clearly I am no good in these types of situations. Meanwhile, I realize I am way under dressed to be in public and now I have a whole other set of problems, so I grab my gnarly pink fluffy robe and sandals and book it down the hall to the garage door armed with my blackberry, I was ready to bludgeon any intruder to death.
Now you ask, what did you do next? Check the premises? Heck no! I got in my car and left. Keep in mind, I am in my underwear, a pink furry robe and my retainer. Where was I planning on going? Once I came to that same realization I went back to my house and idled in front of the place. Next thing I know two cop cars are casing the joint. So, no one was in my house, It was just a false alarm and the price I pay for a sense of security!
The reason I am bloging about this incident is threefold. 1. I cannot fall back asleep, so I might as well be productive. 2. It is pretty hilarious. 3. Even though I had just been robbed weeks earlier, which really sucked. I didn’t even think about taking any stuff with me. In fact, the one thing I did take was my ridiculous pink fluffy robe that I received as a gift that I only took with so I wouldn’t be naked. Basically when in a state of panic whether or not it was justified all you really want is any shirt on your back, even if it is an ugly pink robe. Good night!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOO officially one week down!
I wish I could celebrate this monumental achievement on a happier not but, I was robbed the other night. My car was broken into. I woke up to find my front window of my car shattered. It was a surreal experience. I had left my backpack in the back seat, which I know is a bad move. The thiefs got lucky. My Northface backpack was full. My macbook, my calculator, my glasses, text books and a bunch of school work that is worth nothing to anyone but me. They also got some CDs and my cell phone charger. This event really got me thinking about stuff. I was most upset about losing all the files on my computer. I had research papers I had been working on all semester, data books for my research and lots of pictures and music. I had to add up the price values of everything I lost. I was blown away out how much it was, but still if I could get one thing back it would be the time I put into the papers I will now have to rewrite. Don’t worry I am still on the wagon. My sister gave me an old backpack and I am barrowing the texts books from a friend. I will have to get a new computer for the sake of the many people who read my blog, I can’t let all of you down.
Day Four: I decided to dig around my sisters' closets to see if they had any cute clothes I could barrow for this week to liven up my wardrobe. I have a few events coming up this week and I didn’t want to wear the same old stuff. I went through my little sister's closet while she was gone. I ended up finding a really cute top and a great necklace. When I asked her about them I explained what they looked like and she couldn’t even remember it. When I showed her she was totally willing to loan them to me. She was and I quote, “so over them,” we worked out a deal. She got a sweater that I didn’t wear much anymore and I got a new outfit to wear this weekend. My older sister stopped by for dinner and a brought another cute tank over. She is so supportive of my detox, She threw it to me saying, "here is something you didn't buy," She didn’t like the way it fit her, she had only worn it once. It fit me perfectly. It only goes to show you, when you cannot find the right thing to wear, you should dig around other peoples closet when they are not home. It also helps if you wear the same size as your sisters.
Day three: Well I made the big announcement to the family today. My mother seemed genuinely interested in the idea. She listened to me gab about the new blog and my desires for a new simpler life. Then she continued to tell me, "you will never be able to do this. The first thing you see that you want you will buy. I don't think you will last a week, why don't you go write that in your blog!" So I guess it could have gone better, but it only make me want to prove her wrong!
