Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I've been a little busy with school and then I headed to Red Oak for a little time with the family, and seeing as I don't currently have my laptop, I had no way of posting. Overall, it was a pretty good time.
Friday, I guess, would be the first day of some importance. I got my final check from the Theatre and my W2. I whole $41 and not even enough money to claim. I guess it's not too important. Any money I would have gotten back would have gone to rent anyways. Then around 3, I said goodbye to Cory and the kittens and hit the road. This drive wasn't that bad. A friend that lives in the same direction as I do was also heading back. It was nice having the company, and also knowing that if something happened, there would be somewhere there who knew me. But for the first half of the trip, I had him, and the second half is always faster because the cities are closer together. I finally got in around 8:30 and by 10, I was ready to crash. I hadn't slept that good in a while, although most nights have been good sleep ever since I started feeling better.
The next morning, my dad took my car in to get new tires. All new tires made in August of 2010, not some random month in 2001. While he was getting the tires replaced, he noticed that the tire in the trunk (the broken one) had busted a laundry detergent bottle and it had spilled all over my trunk. Me and my mom got the trunk cleaned up, luckily the only thing of value that was ruined was a textbook, but I can get another one off Amazon cheap, and maybe even a more recent one. For lunch, I got together with Sam, my best friend and one of the few people I still talk to from high school. We ate lunch at El Fenix and then did a little shopping. We both got some new clothes. I love getting together with her. We had a fall out for a little while in high school, but I think it's only made us stronger. We have a lot in common and I think we'll always be close. I'm not sure what I would do without her. After I got back from spending time with her, my dad and I headed up to AT&T and I was able to get rid of the P.O.S. I had. My new phone is pretty bad ass. As of this moment, I would suggest a Windows phone over an Android. I've only had it a couple days, but I had more problems with my first two Androids in the first week, so maybe I really have found my phone. And it flows amazingly. I really think anyone looking for a new phone should check out the Windows. I have the Quantum and if you like the QWERTY keyboard, it's your phone. The buttons are the perfect size and they're not hard to press.
While at the store, and incredibly rude woman was there. The store is set up quite simply. You enter the door from the front, on each wall are the phones and accessories, and at the end is the desk where you check out. Now, blocking the view of the sales persons from being able to see everything is a display that stands as about as tall as an average person and is about 2.5 to 3 feet wide. A woman in about her 60s was sitting against the wall, right where it would be impossible to see her behind the display. While the associate that was helping me was trying to get a hold of the corporate to approve something, she was asking the two people who were visible to her if she could solve any quick questions. The lady said nothing while the associate asked the question about 4 times. Now, about 15 minutes later, another customer walked in. The second associate told the new customer that she would be with her momentarily. This is when the lady sitting against the wall finally speaks. "I've been here for 30 minutes and no one even said hello to me." she barked. Both associates apologized, and then they kind of glance in each others direction giving each other the look of "Oh great." The lady then yells at them to not look at each other like she's their mother. She continued to say rude comments the rest of the time I was there, and I'm sure afterward too, making it completely awkward to be there.
After leaving there, my parents, my brother and I went to go pick up my niece, and then head over to my brother, sister-in-law, and baby nieces house. We got to celebrate all of the March birthdays, which would be Callie, Amy, me, and Chris (that being the order of our birthdays). Ryan's birthday is in the beginning of February, so in a way, his was celebrated to because it was the first time we had all been together and been able to do so. Then that night Callie spent the night. I have a close relationship with my niece and she is definitely a very important person in my life and so every time we get to spend some time together, it's really nice.
The next and final morning, we went and had an early lunch at my favorite restaurant, Chuy's. Really, the best Mexican restaurant out there. If you're ever in San Antonio, North Dallas, Arlington, or Ft. Worth, make sure to check it out. Get the queso for sure and also the Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom. It really is the best. Callie and I got some shirts too. They have hilarious shirts. Although, later pointed out to me, mine is a lot more sexual than I could have thought. It has their, I guess, mascot being chased by the PacMan ghosts and it is chasing a taco and says Chuy's in the PacMan writing. Then, on the back, it has the PacMan game, and in the middle it says "Eat Me" and then the food that it has already eaten is a taco and a burrito. Now, you may need to think about it a little bit if your mind doesn't go straight to the gutter. I did not think about any of this while I was getting it; however, it was Cory's first thought after I showed him.
Well, after that I hit the road back to San Angelo. It took forever, but I finally made it back around 5:45 and got to spend some good quality time with Cory and the kittens.
