Okay, here's my life in a nutshell:

Hey... Here's another exciting day...Don't ask why I decided to record it, since it's pretty boring, lol....Well, read it or not, my sugar puffs!

12:35 am- Went to bed after watching two movies.
7:34 am- My dad wakes me up, tells me mom just called to remind him we needed to be home by eight. The call woke him up.
7:35 am- Realize I will have no time for a shower, let alone breakfast, before we leave.
8:30 am-Arrive home. Mom leaves for job interview. Addie makes breakfast, Auntie K. Arrives.
8:45 am-My stepmom calls for me. She-I mean, we- talk.
10:30 am- Call Greenie and wake her up....(Yes, I AM in the habit of calling people just to wake them up.....) Sorry about that, Grace....
10:40 am- I look at my watch and realize I'm late for the zoo. I quickly get into my (disgustingly ugly) uniform, and Auntie K drives us to the zoo.
11:01 am-We arrive at the zoo. I stop by the house to get my schedule. No one is signed up with me for my opening shift. I realize I am opening by myself. I also realize that it's free Monday. Run over to the museum.
11:10 am- arrive at the reptile house. The table is nowhere to be found. I look in all the usual places....No luck.
11:15 am-I haul my butt back over to the museum and call B-don. He tells me the super secret place that the table is now being kept, which of course, everyone knew about but me. I now feel incredibly stupid.
11:30 am- I open the table. I have no snakeheads, hole punched lids or partner.
11:31 am- People begin to come to the table. At times I am so busy I'm not even looking at what I'm doing...I begin to wonder if there is a god, since no one's answering my prayer for relief.
12:15 pm- Amanda finally comes to relieve me. Finally. Finally.
12:30 pm- I eat lunch. Salad. And tell Grace the long version....
1:00 pm- I head over to Great Apes, where Scotty (omg.) screams: THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE! And then proceeds to tell me the loooongEST version. It seems Scotty is prejudiced. I think that's all I'll say for now. I hope he still likes me.
1:30 pm-I still have no partner. Two day camps arrive at the same time. I try to explain the game to them, but then give up and just give them each a piece of candy....Somewhere during all this, my voice gives out from shouting 'ONE PIECE ONLY!' over and over. Somehow, the table's gone through three buckets of candy in the past 2 hours. A thing that would NOT have happened if everyone had taken 'one piece only.'
1:31 pm- Isn't it ironic that I've been to two tables without a partner on a free Monday?
2:05 pm- relief arrives-Amanda and what's-her-face....omg, I know her name.....Anyway, I leave for the Aquarium.
2:10 pm- I relieve Addie at the Aquarium.
2:30 pm- I cut myself on the broken side of the activity aquarium. Shit. Still having no partner, I have to ask a random man to watch my table while I go wash off the blood in the bathroom. It hurts to much to care whether this is a good idea.
2:40 pm- Blake arrives with his entourage-Heather and Clarissa. Do these people ever work, or do they just follow Blake around.....?
2:45 pm- I wave to Grace as she opens the gates!
3:15 pm- No relief. Grandma's picking me up at three....And I know she's always on time....
3:20 pm- Still no relief.
3:23 pm- I leave Blake, telling him my ride's waiting.
3:30 pm- I arrive at the house, but no Grandma. I ask around, and realize they left without me. I use the phone to call my Aunt, then Grandma, but no one picks up. Shit.
3:35 pm- Addie shows up...At least they left without her, to. This makes me feel better.
3:50 pm- I keep calling Grandma, then become resigned to my fate. I talk to B-don and Courtney....B-don tells me no one's ever been just plain left behind before-forgotten, yes. A fact which does not make me feel better. Addie uses the back computer.
4:15 pm- Grandma shows up again. She is mad that we were late. She doesn't understand that it's not our fault. *sigh.* It's not like I can argue with my Grandmother.....
4:30 pm- Drop Lil off at soccer, then go shopping for dinner, seeing as we have literally no food. Grandma buys. Nice, but charity is kinda hard for me to accept ....
4:30 pm- I see a school friend at store. Am reminded that school starts in 15 days. Maybe I should get started on my summer reading.....
5:00 pm- Home again, home again, piggly wigg!
5:10 pm- Help Grandma with dinner, then crash on the couch with a book (not my summer reading, of course).
5:55 pm- Get online...Talk to Laura...
5:56 pm- Dinner. I tell Laura to get back on in a little while. Risky, because I still don't have her number. It's cursed so that I loose it every time I get it! Or something.
6:00 pm- Eat dinner.
6:45 pm- Get back online in hopes I can catch Laura. I can't. Type this up instead.
7:30 pm- Decide this is a stupid, boring post that took to long to type. Oh sigh, I'll just publish it anyway.

I'm still in my uniform.

ok...I STILL don't have your number, as I mentioned, so keep trying....sorry....lol.

And yes, Grace, The Love Child was telling me about that. I was about to cruch his tiny little skull and pull off his eyelashes, but I settled for some scathing looks and a number of protests. I don't want to be kicked out of zooteens. Otherwise....

I want you to be you. you're sooo funny...you're hilarious, but you don't always open up...sometimes you stay quiet, and that's perfectly ok, it's just that some people think that means you don't like them...And also, I'm sorry about kind of ignoring you this weekend...I feel like I was really rude. Sorry!
