Impatients..not just a name for flowers...also a name for me when I go shopping with Courtney.....

Hello all!  The last time I blogged was Thursday I think, not a lot has happened since then.  I can tell you about my weekend though.  I some how did not get drunk all weekend, this makes me sad.  I guess I could have gotten drunk but just didn't feel that it was necessary.  So Friday I was drinking at Courtney's with our friends then I snuck away and went to sleep.  Saturday I worked, Alice now works with me so that was fun.  Saturday night I went to Courtney's I thought I was alone at her house, until her friend Dave popped out of a room and scared me!  I guess I scared him too, then I got a shower and went to Courtney's mom's house.  I drank two beers, why?  I don't know.  Sunday I worked again then went to Courtney's and didn't drink.  Monday, Courtney and I went to Wal-Mart, Lowes, Ross, the liquor store, to get our eye brows done and Starbucks.  It was our big day out! 

Do you know just how indecisive Courtney is?  I didn't know the extent of her problem with decision making until we went to Wal-Mart and Lowes together.  Never again.  She wants to plant flowers in her yard but she wants perennials, only perennials.  I said fine I can look for some perennials.  I suggest Lamb's Ear to her twice, because they are soft and feel like a lamb's ear.  She says no.  Fine.  Eighty percent of the perennials I see are ugly, I suggest some impatients because they are colorful, impatients are not perennials but who cares they're like a dollar eighty something.  She says no, we're at Lowes by the way.  Then she says we should go to Wal-Mart and see what flowers they have, OK now we're going to Wal-Mart.  We get to the garden section at Wal-Mart and see the same flowers we saw at Lowes.  We walk around there for a good 25 minutes then go back to Lowes.  We're back at Lowes, I take control of our cart at Lowes because I now mean business.  Courtney says she is now open to impatients, because the name relates to her.  OK great I've said impatients since the beginning.  She picks out flowers puts some back tells me to look at the flowers I suggested to her an hour ago.  I said yea I said they were my favorite the first time we were here.  She says, "Now you tell me."  I told you an hour ago!  Then she wants to get some bricks to put around her bird bath.  OK how many bricks, what type of shape are you making with the bricks.  She is unsure, so she says lets build something.  Great.  We are putting the bricks in a circular shape on the ground imagining the bird bath is in the middle of them.  Then she sees other bricks she likes better.  I put back to first bricks, FYI these bricks are heavy.  We make some octagon type shape with the second bricks, and decides she wants them.  We put them on our cart,  I am pulling the cart to the register when she darts the other way, I follow her with the cart.  Then she's looking at the bricks on the cart and says, "You know what maybe I shouldn't get these I have a feeling Dave won't like them."  OK, I schlep all the way back to the brick aisle and we put the bricks back.  Then I said, "The cart is going to the register and not stopping."  I am standing in line Courtney's with me, then she goes and picks out two more flowers!  We check out and we're on our way to the car, but wait!  Courtney is still switching her flowers, she's asking me how her flowers look...they look good!  I've said they looked good since the beginning.  We went to Ross sometime between or maybe before the whole Wal-Mart, Lowes incident.  Do you know how many different types of people were at Ross?  I will tell you, first there was Courtney and I, normal young women.  Then there were three middle aged fat, white women with corn rows.  OK, I'm used to seeing that kind of shit.  Then an American man with three young Russian women.  The man's obviously a creep, I can tell.  He's being obnoxious in Ross picking out clothes for the Russians.  Then Asians.  Then white gangsters.  Then foreigners.  There were some more normal people thrown in there.  So diverse. 

I finally bought a bottle of Skinny Girl Margarita.  It's pretty good, stronger then I had expected.  Monday night was interesting, it was entertaining.  We watched Dave and his friend pull a stump out of their yard with a truck and a big rope.  It was exciting.  Mikki was cheering, "Go Stump!!"  I was embarrassed. 

Anyway, yesterday I drove back to PA.  It's dumb that I'm in PA today because it's so nice out I wish I was at the beach.  Instead, I'll lay out in my backyard.  Tomorrow I'm going back to Cape May and I'll be there for the summer.  I'll be back in June for a week though, I'm having mouth surgery if anyone cares.  I went out to eat with my mom last night, I don't fit in in PA.  I look around and every one's either Mennonite with a long denim skirt on, or white trash.  I'm not kidding.  I'm not saying I'm better than them, just better looking.  I was five miles from my house and you would have thought we were in West Virginia.  It's just a different way of life out here, I need to live in a city I think. 

I assume everyone has seen that website of pictures entitled, "People of Wal-Mart."  If you haven't go look at it, it's pretty funny.  My mom's friend e-mailed her some other website, "Worse Than People of Wal-Mart."  This picture has got to be fake. 

Sweet heart, it is your grandmother's funeral (or maybe your aunt or someone close to you).  It is not the time or place to take your next Myspace profile picture.  The peace sign really gets me, I understand if maybe you wanted a last picture together.  I actually don't even really understand that because why would you want to remember whoever that is in their casket.  Anyway, homeboy really took a picture like this and I assume put it on some social networking site, my guess is Myspace, because it is now all over the Internet.  How do you think your loved one feels about you now?  Maybe proud?  But probably mortified for you and for her self because dead is not the best look for her.  R.I.P.

Bye for now!
