My
"day" started way earlier than it needed to and ended way later than
I intended it to. I'll start from the beginning.
The
night before, on Thanksgiving, I just got out of the shower and my sister told
me that we were going to the movies at 10:30 to see Twilight. I was
like…okay, let me go put some clothes on and dry my hair. On the way to
the movie theater in Lacey, Erika gave me a little background about the book
because I had no idea what we were going to go see. The movie was two
plus hours so we didn't get out of there until 12:45 and got home around
1ish. The movie was better than I thought it would be. We got out
of the car and literally passed out in bed then it seemed like 10 minutes later
I heard my mom, "Valerie…Valerie…you told me you would go with me."
It
was 4:40 and I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep. I zombied out of my bed,
washed my face, brushed my hair and I was going to wear what I wore to
bed. Erika had stayed up the entire night playing WOW and went with us to
town for the greediest day of the year. We went to Walmart in Yelm first,
followed by going into Lacey, waiting in line for an HOUR to pay for our stuff
at Sears, went next door to Target, ate donuts at Fred Meyer while did some
minor shopping (mom wanted to kill the lady in front of us at the checkout
stand), got some great deals at Shopko, Erika wanted Baja Blast at Taco Bell,
made our way over to the West Side to get a phone charger at the AT&T
store, mom stopped into the Goodwill, we talked mom out of going to Joanne's
because it was packed and we didn't want to be there for three hours, drove to
the Fred Meyers in Tumwater because Erika got the last Wall*E at the one in
Lacey and then finally going home and passing out for about four hours.
I
got up and started making phone calls because last week me, Barlow and Nicole
decided we wanted to go out the day after Thanksgiving. We got it all
situated and waited until 8:00 came around. I got ready and went and
picked up Barlow in Hawks Prairie. We then went and got Nicole and met
Megan and Chaise at Pints and Quarts. As we walked into the pub, I heard
my name, I thought to myself...I've never been here before, who the heck is
calling out my name? We look to our left and there's Kristina Fittinger
and Cassie Maddux, who are really excited to see us. It was weird to see
them out at a bar because the last time I saw these guys they had just
graduated high school, so in my mind they were 18-19 years old. Brandon
came about an hour later. Barlow wanted to go dance so we crammed 6
people into my car and headed towards downtown Olympia. We parked about a
block away from Jake's. I hate paying a cover to get into a bar…I was so
use to Pullman, where there aren't any covers. Oh well, it was just 3
bucks. We use the bathroom, order drinks, sit at one of the tables and
chatted away for a bit. Megan got tired and her mom came and picked up
her and Chaise while Barlow and Nicole hit the dance floor. I went and
got another drink, while in line; I looked down at the ground and saw that
someone had dropped some money. I figured it was a dollar; I picked it up
and saw that it was a 20! I left the bar with more money than I had come
with. We stayed until closing. We chugged some water, walked
down 4th Avenue for a while and decided that we were hungry.
We got into the car and headed to Sharis off of Martin Way and College.
We get there and we get a booth by our hostess Bianca, she gave us crayons and
placemats at the request of Brandon. Everyone leaves to pee while I sit
there looking at the menu. They all come back and I take my turn.
When I returned, there was water and ice all over the table. Brandon was
opening his crayons and hit one of the waters with his elbow getting it all
over Nicole. Bianca cleaned it up, gave us new waters and placemats to
color on. We all ordered breakfast and talked for almost 3 hours.
We left, dropped Brandon off at his car, he followed us to drop Nicole off,
went back to Rainier, dropped off Lindsay and I went home and crashed in my
bed.
Definitely
an awesome night out with friends.
November
28 was the longest day ever.
