something smells...

i woke up this morning to a "hello beautiful" message. i love those. it was 8 so i got up and talked to him for a little while. then i did some morning exercises. made myself a breakfast hot pocket and parked myself on the couch for a couple hours... i know, pathetic! i finally dragged myself to the shower and that woke me up again. i was waiting on the girls to go to do some laundry, but they ended up not going today. considering tomorrow is the day before andrew comes home and i still have a lot to do around here, i forced myself to go alone. i must say, doing laundry is probably the most uneventful thing i've ever experienced in my life. even compared to sitting around waiting on something good to come on tv.

on the way to the laundromat, i had to stop at the atm and get some cash and as i got out the "tonka truck" i noticed a very distinct vulgar smell... i knew that smell... i looked around for just a second before realizing it was a dead rat scrunched halfway under the atm machine... i wanted to vomit. i knew it was dead, yet i glanced at it every 5 seconds just to make sure it hadnt moved... yuuuucky. so i hurried up and rushed out of there.

i get to the laundromat and was hoping they had someone there to break a 20 for me... no such luck... so i then had 20 dollars in quarters. of course, everyone was looking at me, wondering if i was taking the whole machine, i'm sure. i always felt weird at laundromats... wondering if people were looking at my clothes judging me. i dont think i really had a problem at this one. it was pretty quiet. i felt kind of sad when one lady came in with two very young kids and just left them wondering around. dont people know children arent safe now-a-days? o well, i nonchalantly kept an eye on him anyways.

i made my way home four loads and an hour and a half later. stopped at del taco, yum. and crashed on the couch when i came in. who would think laundry would ware you out so much? i stepped out front for a moment a few minutes ago and saw at least 15 birds RUNNING down the street. twentynine palms ceases to amaze me, i've decided.

tomorrow i have to wake up early and make a trip to the store for andrews "coming home" supplies. i'm excited about decorating the poster! i'll let you know what it says later... he reads this and he cant know. haha, sorry babe. the girls and i, as far as i still know, are all hanging out tomorrow night! maybe some cocktails. i'm excited to meet some more of them!

well, i'm going to catch some more tv and crash... until tomorrow!!!
