Daily Update

After my Wednesday night excursion to the Australian Outback, I thought to myself what was in order for me tonight. I thought of trying to go to The Sahara, the Outback, the Arctic, or even the Amazon, but none of which seemed appealing to me at that time. Similarly to Sunday morning, I backed out of running due to a slight concern with my physical health. No, I'm not ill, its just that if I'm not in peak physical performance, I'm open to an attack by the wandering ninja and trolls, or other creatures, that wander around in their respective neighborhoods. I'll have to make up for it this weekend.

Eventually I we wound up over at Greenfield. Maggie told us to come over and watch a movie. But when we got there, only Emily was home. So we watched the Dancing show from last night. Next week is the finale you know. (Of the three girls left, one is from Roy, UT, and one is LDS.) After that, Josh had shown up with movies so we watched Rat Race. I'll be honest, it was kind of painful to watch. I really wasn't into it until the very end, and by that point I had missed a good portion of it. Then at the end of that we were ready to leave, so we all left. On the way home I saw josh zoom by me. Confused, I phoned him to see where Maggie had taken him off to. She was with him you see, singing her siren song probably. I Broke off of my 'go-home' flight pattern to pursue Josh's car, to rescue him if needed. His phone rang. I wondered if she would allow him to answer it if she knew she had it with him. He answered. I heard screaming in the back ground! "Where is she taking you?!" I feared that he was being tortured, but it turned out it was only the screechy radio. They were on their way to McDonalds. "OH", I said reluctantly. And as he described what was on the menu, my stomach started speaking to me as well. As I was approaching my parking dock, I quickly shifted and decided to 'head them off at the pass'. So McDonalds it was. After all, I hadn't eaten since lunch time, and I always have time for a MacFlurry. I arrived shortly after we spoke. they pulled in behind me. There was a mini-van at the order window (meaning it would take a while) so I just got out of my car and walked back to Josh's car. As we started talking the Vixen Maggie made a mad dash toward my open car door! Realizing what could go wrong I also started running toward my car, but I was to late. My damaged hip had failed me again. My 'given-up' self humbly got into josh's passenger seat. They were out of McFlurries, so we slowly made the decision to try another place, Carl's Jr to be precise. There shakes are spectacular. The guy taking orders actually looked like the janitor. But we just hung it up in the parking lot as we enjoyed our super late night meals. I finally got my car back as we all parted ways.

Then even later at night, when I got home, I dove into the pages of Harry Potter as I attempted to organize my room. It kept me up later than I should have stayed up. Silly book.

I'm listening to Harry right now actually. He's having a difficult time dealing with all the wily foes of his fifth year at Hogwarts. I'm liking people who wear pink and who are overly nice less and less.

Lunch was sponsored by a new place called The Good Earth. It was ok. The dishes might be a little to creative for me though. It was Baby Spice's decision to try it out.
