So life is kind of crappy; I can deal. I can make lemonade from lemons.

Today was supposed to be your average Saturday, but it some ways it was not. It began in a fairly normal fashion; my father picked up my mother from work, and all of us went to the Best Deli for breakfast. I took forever from then on to clean up my room/put away what was left from unpacking, and I finally got out of the house around 2:00 P.M.
From there, I went to Whole Foods to return something, get lunch, and buy water. Doug was there, and he was hitting on me as usual, but I refuse to hook-up with a married guy. Besides, my days of just "hooking-up" are over. I'm looking for a relationship, not some fling, and I especially do not want something long-distance, unless I have been with the man for at least a few months or known him for a while. Long-distance is enough of a strain, and on top of a new relationship, that just spells disaster.
Anyway, I digress. I was in Whole Foods for a bit, seeing people I hadn't seen in a while. I got offered some work, and it is tempting, as I do not like this whole being broke thing, but I really want to milk my time off to the fullest extent. This is the first time I have had off since I started working, and I began working in the summer of 1999.
Then, I went off to brave the mall. I found three pairs of jeans with tags still on them, so I went manned with one receipt and two credit card bills, hoping to reduce the amount I owe to the store, which I believe is less than $200 anyway. They told me I had to call up and get more information about the purchases, because they were combined with other things, and I had to get the exact prices of the jeans. I thought that I had paid for the ones with the receipt by credit card, but I had apparently returned something, so they just gave me a merchandise credit. Oh well, I don't even think that it was the correct receipt, and they gave me more than I paid for them.
After that, I went to have some fun. I intended on planning to go out to Sawgrass to get new sneakers, as I had a coupon for Sports Authority, but that never happened. I knew that I had to pass by Jacaranda Lakes on the way, and I am dying to see Darren. For some reason, my heart longs to see him. Maybe it is because, on the 26th, it will be four years to the day since we were together. I have no idea. So I drove past his house, and my heart was beating so rapidly. He definitely still lives there, and if I saw him, I could have made an excuse that I was going to see if Scott Holtz was home, because he lives on the same street, and four years ago, Darren saw me there, so he would know that I am not lying. Following that, I was already in the Lakes, and I am so curious about Valerie. I mean, she used me to sneak around and pick out her engagement ring, but going by the UCF website, she is no longer enrolled there, so I'd like to know what happened to her. By this time, it was getting late, and we were supposed to go to an early dinner before my mom went to work, and she called me, so I went home without ever making it to Sawgrass. No new shoes - again. :( Oh well.
We went out for Chinese Buffet, and I ate so much. I hadn't really eaten since breakfast, because lunch was a no-go, so it was kind of okay. My father was being ridiculously funny playing with this dessert thing that looked like a Rice Krispies Treat, but with more yellow to it, and it had sesame seeds on it. It was so hard, you could easily break a tooth, if not a wall, with it. We were thinking up alternate uses for it, and my father picks up a knife and a spoon to use as a hammer and chisel. That, in addition to other ridiculous things, had me laughing so hard, I was unable to breathe, and I felt like I was going to throw up. Yeah, I had a lot of fun, and now I feel hungry. I do not know if it is because it was Chinese food or I am bored, but I have been here for a total of four nights, and I have had Chinese twice already. It's good to be back...I think.
