bugged
So the girls were scheduled to fly home on American today. When everything started getting canceled, they were moved to a United/Lufthansa combo, but when they showed up at the airport in Sacramento yesterday, they were totally thwarted and United wouldn’t take them, so American rescheduled them AGAIN, and now they aren’t coming home until Monday. Lindsey sent me an IM around 6pm all MOM. OMG we couldn’t come home SRSLY and I said, oh, bet you’re upset about that one, aren’t you and she immediately shot back something like HA HA HA. Really though, total score all around: two extra days of no cooking for me, two extra days of vacation for them PLUS no school on Monday.
I spent today doing house stuff, like trying to find some way to get rid of the crap ass fungus gnats that have infested all my repotted plants. Ugh. They aren’t like…fruit fly levels of gross or anything (fruit flies are inconceivably disgusting to me. Seeing them makes me feel nauseus, I AM WEIRD) but they ARE very annoying. I finally put out little bowls of an old bottle of red wine I had because they are like, suicidal and will dive into any standing liquid, and I figured death by wine is a good way to go. I’m pest-friendly.
Speaking of bugs, for SOME UNKNOWN REASON last night I Googled ‘biggest bugs‘ and then ‘Goliath spiders‘ and wtf, me, WHAT WAS I THINKING? Can you imagine looking down and seeing a spider with a leg span of 12 inches?
Anyway. I was at the BX today looking at greeting cards, when the cashier at the jewelry counter TOTALLY hit on the friend of the customer she was helping. I didn’t hear what she opened with but this was the the conversation that followed:
guy: “Wha…no, I’m married.”
cashier girl: “What?”
guy: “I’m married.”
cashier girl: “ohhh…what a waste.”
guy: “Umm…”
cashier girl: “seriously, that’s a real waste.”
guy: “…”
I was like, !!! and full-on turned around for the stare because holy fuck, BRAZEN! It was great.
I think it’s time for some drumming.
Tschuss!!
