my apartment is raining

so. last night after a few episodes of scrubs and an epic piece of chocolate cake, i fell asleep on the couch. lovely night. or not. i woke up to a sound i can’t even describe, which as it turns out is the sound of a high powered geyser of water knocking the back of my toilet to the floor. wonderful. of course i didn’t know what to do except stand there staring for about a minute, and then i realized that it would probably be best to call emergency maintenance. (question, why do these things always happen at 5 in the fucking morning??) anyway, my bathroom is quickly filling up with water and i’m just running all over my apartment in a panic with no idea what to do until the dude comes. i wish someone had been here to document the pure chaos. i’m pretty sure i broke into hysterical tears at some point when i was trying to shut off the water, but i really don’t know because i was already dripping wet from head to toe.

i look like a drowned rat right now. and i’m really really cold. 

happier things:

1 – yesterday i bought the best card i’ve ever seen. its hilarity probably wouldn’t be appreciated by a lot of people, but i giggled. a lot. 

2- i got to see bri and sydney last night, and we laid in the grass in front of the courthouse on the square.  it felt like paris again, except instead of gypsies we were harassed by hippie art students. 

3- i am again on the hunt for the perfect piece of project furniture for the summer.  those garage sales won’t know what hit em. does anyone have a nail gun i can borrow?

4 – i’m going to the LBK in 5 days to see my sister Melissa and my baby nephew Benjamin. i also get to see Bryan Stokes. that reminds me, i need someone to take me to the airport, because everyone in my family is “busy” that day. 

5 – on monday at 9:30 pm, i will officially be a bum. no more job for amanda. (i got my 5 year pin last night, along with a “happy anniversary” note from the regional manager…wow. see #1. you know you’ve worked at Hallmark for too long when you get excited about a card.)

Ok, the maintenance guy are gone, finally. Goodnight, kind of. I’ll get a few more hours of sleep before I have to get up for work. I’m going to reward myself for this with french toast when I wake up.
