In a Nutshell

Today was an interesting day… My schedule was as follows:

10am – get up, do some studying, clean the house, get some work done until…
3pm – Erin is coming over to have her hair straightened
7pm – hang out with some friends, relax

What really happened…

SLEPT IN!

11:57am - get woken up by Erin, saying client cancelled, wanna do her hair early?

12:10pm – Erin comes over, Straightening process begins….

5:15pm – Hair processing completed

5:45pm – leave to get something to eat

6:45pm – leave eating place to hang out and find shoes across town

7:30pm – meet Benji at the mall… where is Benji??

7:45pm – still no Benji!!! Wander around the mall

7:50pm – find Benji, Oh Joy! Begin hunt for shoes – visit Penny’s, Dillards, and just about everywhere else….

8ish pm – Give up shoe endeavor, begin looking for hoodie for Benji, go to Steve & Barry’s, Benji tries on 4 pair of pants 5 sizes too big, tries on 2 hoodies, get ready to leave Steve & Barry’s , when I see the cutest pink hoodie jacket – curious to see if it would fit over bosoms I try it on, and with the help of Benji… it looks fabulous! Benji cannot find hoodie, off to other stores

8:40pm – go to Hollister’s – a store that makes a tiny person believe they are a XXXL when they are a medium, disgusting! No luck with Hoodies at Hollisters

8:45pm - go to Aeropastale (spelling?), discover many hoodies on sale…Benji goes nuts, like kid on cappuccino, finally purchases a mustard yellow hoodie with Luguna Beach written across front…. We can go!

8:58pm – booking it across the mall before store closes to get to our cars

9ish pm – make it to the car, decide we need to surprise Melody! Go to Andy’s and pick up chocolate custard with peanut butter cups (one of her fave’s) and go to St. Johns in search of Melody

9:30ish pm – get to St John’s and try to find Melody, look for the elevator to get to 5th floor, floors only go
up to 4th floor…. Take the elevator to 4th floor in search of next transit elevator, run into a janitorial staff who kindly explains the error in our judgment – Phone goes off 3 times, but signal is no good, cannot answer, back down to the 1st floor we go, in search of new elevators that will take us to the 5th floor, finally arrive at the 5th floor, must now look for Melody… turn the corner and there she is, surprised to see us!!!

9:50ish pm – chocolate custard delivery, followed by much giggling, and divo walking, all in all a successful surprise, find out way back out of the hospital maze, stop to take a quick picture in the mirror.

10:00pm – In the parking lot Benji decides he has to go the restroom immediately! I tell him to go, and he bolts off towards the hospital, He returns, we decide to go back to my house and hang out

10:20pm – make calls to everyone to invite them over for a time of “hanging out” everyone is tired, all no shows

10:40pm – Benji falls asleep on couch, Amy goes to sleep… I stay up to play piano

And the rest of the night is pretty much boring, my plans for the day were pretty much laid back… and it was cool that everything ended up the way it did! Erin’s hair looks fabulous, I never found shoes, but Benji found a hoodie! Fun Fun Day!
