So i'm totally convinced that my bath tub mat hates me. Who knew that something as benign as smiling rubber duckies could have such a malicious agenda?! Everytime i step into the shower my bathmat (that is supposed to keep me from falling in the shower) slips, and i nearly go tumbling to my doom. So i replaced my vicious smiling ducks with smaller vicious smiling ducks. Instead of a mat, it's those little cut out thingies. Only today, when i got into the shower, they slid a little too. So...if you guys don't hear from me for a few days, check my shower. It's possible i'll be passed out amid the ducks.

It's been a while since my last post. Don't worry, I didn't die at the hands of rabid mongooses (or is that mongeese). I spent last week in DC and right now i'm in SC. Talk about a hell of a drive. Bleh! It took me 11 1/2 hours to get here. Let's just say i'm looking at plane tickets for christmas. I did get to see both April and Hayley while i was in DC. It was great to see them both. I'm gonna be MIA for this week, but for the record, tomorrow is my birthday! I'll be the big 23. Woohoo! Just another unimportant birthday. :-) To all my loyal readers, happy thanksgiving!!! I'll update you when i get back to the Fort!

So last night...Mike and i went out to a few bars. We had a few drinks it was definintely a good time. So we ended up at Strazlos, which had a lot of redneck people there. Kinda like Rafter's, only not quite as crowded and not as cool. But still fun. So after mike and I have had a few drinks in us, We decided to show those damn white people how to dance. Nevermind that i'm the whitest white girl you'll ever meet!! But it was fun! So we danced for one song, and put all those folks to shame. It was good stuff! Then we went back to our table and our waiter guy came by. I'm not sure how the conversation started, but he smiled at us with his tootless grin and said "No...i've never been in a bar until i started working here. I don't drink. I'll smoke the bud all day, but I don't drink." Excuse me!!! Did he just say what i think he just said?!!! Smoke the bud. Hehehe...Mike told me that the next time he came by i should say something to him like "you smoke the bud eh...i help put people like you in jail." Just to see what he says. Anyway...it was pretty funny. I mean...who says that??? Who cops to illegal activity to complete strangers in a bar??!!! To start the evening though, we went to Columbia Street. It was pretty dead last night, but as we were walking in, three guys seriously turned around and watched us walk into the bar. We drew so much attention just walking in! Mike just laughed and said "ebony and ivory". It was pretty funny though. So we decided to go somewhere else, because C-Street just wasn't happening, so we decided to try the new bar Club Soda. I'd heard good things about it, and so had mike. So we walk in, and all of a sudden, i felt incredibly young. There was no music playing, they had a really long wine list, and everyone was sitting around snapping their fingers to some crazy beat and swinging their beret covered heads. Okay...maybe not quite that weird, but that's definitely what i was expecting to see! So uh...needless to say we left. And that's when we went to Strazlos. As Mike was driving me home, I was feeling pretty good at this point, we drove by Taco Bell and i said, "oh...taco bell sounds good" Well...Mike agreed with me so we stopped and got some burritos. Hehehe...it was like being in college all over again. And then i woke up this morning at 10. That's the latest i've slept in in a long time (minus the bachelorette party). So that was my adventures from last night. I'm not real sure what's going on tonight, but I'm sure it will end as all my nights do, snuggling in my bed with Columbo. :-)

Here's a big surprise...

The scary thing is...my little spot was right on top of hilary clinton's head. Apparantly i think kinda like hilary clinton. *shudder* God help us!

So i had kinda an interesting day today. Aside from things at work being a little stressful, i got the "steer clear" package from my State Farm agent today. Since i had an at-fault accident in march of 2002, I just now became eligible for this program. So i call to my agent to find out what i need to do to get this thingy. well....she says to me "just come in and pick up a box for your son or daughter." And i said..."uh...or me??" And she was so surprised! "Oh...yeah...i guess you too." It was like she couldn't imagine someone under the age of 25 not having their parents taking care of this for them. So then i go to the insurance place to pick up my box thingy, and as i'm pulling out of their parking lot, an SUV flies out from behind me. How ridiculous would it be for me to get in an accident, right in front of my insurance office while i'm getting information on being a better driver. It would have been just my luck!

So...i have a story to relate for today. There are several version of this story, so bare with me on the details here if you already know the story.

There once was a woodland nymph named Echo. She was incredibly beautiful and lived in the woods. However, once she had crossed Hera, the wife of Zeus, and was cursed to only be able to repeat what she heard. One day as Echo was galloping through the woods she came upon the most beautiful man she had ever seen. His name was Narcissus. She instantly fell in love with him and desparately longed to be by his side. She followed him for hours, and finally got up enough nerve to make her presence known. However, Narcissus would not return her affections. He shunned her and told her never to speak to him again. Echo, completely heart broken, pled with Hera to to punish Narcissus for his callous rebuke. Hera cursed Narcissus and banished Echo to the mountains to live out her days. As Narcissus was walking through the woods one day, he came upon a perfectly still lake. He knelt by the lake to drink, but when he caught sight of his reflection, he instantly fell in love with himself. For days he sat by the side of the lake, unable to pull his gaze away from his own face. He would not eat nor drink for fear of losing site of the beautiful image before him. Eventually, Narcissus began to waste away until there was nothing left of him but a small white flower. The flower was all that remained of Narcissus's beauty. To this day, the delicate white flower still blooms close to the lake, to remind everyone of the dangers of self-love.

Hope you enjoyed your Greek mythology lesson for the day.
