bargain shopper

what a fun day i enjoyed today!

i went to the DI

to look for decor for my apartment.

i ended up buying a huge bag of clothes..

who would have known that the DI is almost like a boutique in disguise?

i'm serious.

i was rummaging through the racks and came across

blazers and blouses galore.

yes, there were PLENTY of ugly ones,

but i was able to come away with many that are extremely in style.

many people don't understand that the fashion that was around twenty years ago...

is very much back.

i wore a shirt that i bought today out on the town tonight.

don't worry that i got multiple compliments from various people

"i LOVE your shirt."

...two bucks at the thrift store.

i'm telling you, people.

i now know where i'm going to be shopping.

tonight i went to 

mission impossible

with brooklin.

i didn't get to put my feet up, because the theater was packed,

but it was all good.

i went out to buy a drink,

and when i tried to get back in the theater,

the guy almost wouldn't let me because i didn't have my ticket.

uptight.

it took much convincing and me talking very slow and enunciating my words

before he finally caved and let me in.

but he still didn't believe i bought a ticket.

i was a little bothered.

the movie was great!

i'm not a tom cruise fan by any means,

so i didn't know how much i'd enjoy the movie...

but i actually liked it a lot!

good use of time.

we had fun walking around for an hour in the cold

searching for my dad's car (that i borrowed)

in the underground parking lot.

i had absolutely no idea where we parked

and we looked like fools aimlessly wandering.

people questioned our motives.

goodnight.

xo

the pony express worked better

today i had to mail a letter/document thingy

to san diego.

it needs to be there by december 31st.....

which is in two days.

so i thought,

okay i'll just pay like five bucks and have it shipped priority

overnight.

no big deal.

yeah.

so let's fast forward to me standing in line at the post office.

one person working?

twenty people standing in line.

i'm inbetween a woman that smells like strong floral perfume

and an attractive hipster wearing a wedding ring.

my mother and sister are waiting in the car.

after twenty minutes in line

i finally explain to the man working what i'm wanting to do with this envelope

and he goes,

okay miss, that will cost you $18.79.

seriously?

it's seriously TWENTY dollars to mail a tiny, little envelope to san diego overnight?

so i paid it.

and then he goes,

well just so you know, we're only responsible for getting the letter 

TO

san diego.

it's guaranteed to get to san diego tomorrow.

but there's no guarantees that the california post office will decide to get it to your destination tomorrow...

um. great.
then i'd love a refund if they just DECIDE not to get it to my destination
thank you very much.

so
i'm possibly out of luck,

folks.

i am not loving the mail system,
or my procrastination skills
 right now.

night terrors

well

here it is.

4:26 am and i'm still wide awake.

i have issues.

i'm having nightmares and i'm not even asleep.

i have been tossing and turning in my bed

having real-life nightmares

of things that haven't even happened.

i don't know what's gotten into my head as i'm trying to sleep tonight!

does that ever happen to you?

do you ever have traumatic thoughts in your head late at night that you just

can't shake out?

my brain runs absolutely WILD at night.
i think of things i never even think about in the day.
i think about things that i didn't even know were on my mind at all.
thoughts i never addressed or noticed just show up
uninvited.

these are my scary images that popped into my head within the last three hours:

-getting an epidural when i have a baby

(i can't even get my finger poked without throwing a fit and sobbing)

-never getting married.

(the image that flashed was of me living in my parent's basement eating frozen "steamers" dinners)

this is not a joke, you guys.

nightmares always seem funny when you're explaining them, but they're just not.

especially the ones that occur while you're freaking AWAKE

-being scared out of my socks for this internship.

i didn't really have an image flash for this one. i just started feeling nauseous. 

by this time, i have had enough.

i went downstairs to turn on the tv

and have happy thoughts.

of course my sister,

little bean,

was up too. 

so we talked and watched 

"good luck charlie."

now i'm happy again,

but i can't manage to fall asleep.

i'm jealous of the rest of the world at the moment

peacefully dreaming.

i'll just be here on pinterest.

shopping addict

today was a great day.

it started off with me waking up at six am

(that's new)

i was thirsty.

and couldn't fall back asleep for two hours.

even though i was EXHAUSTED.

so my mother came and woke me up at ONE IN THE AFTERNOON

(how embarrassing)

and asked if i wanted to go to a movie with her.

we went and saw 

new years eve.

i cried.

don't worry that i'm an emotional person

and cry at anything.

for those of you that have seen the movie,

i lost it when abigail breslin saw the boy she liked kissing another girl

and she ran to her mom.

LOST IT.

then we went shopping.

my hunger for H&M and MAC

was temporarily fed.
(i'm planning on taking a trip back to the MAC counter tomorrow. i'm an addict, let's be real).

the line for the dressing rooms in H&M was a mile long, as always,

so we decided to change in the middle of the store.

i was surprised cindy went for that.

but she did

and i was a little lot embarrassed for us.

we were stripping down to nothing

in the boys section.

i quickly realized that was a bad idea and we booked it to another area of the store.

i got some weird looks.

but gave them right on back to people.

it was a fun little date.

i ended the night by babysitting my adorable little cousins.

i built an airplane out of leggos.

how crafty.

xo

slumber parties

i never blogged about christmas.

on christmas eve,

i had a sleepover in sabrina's room with all three of my siblings.

it was the sweetest thing.

i could not fall asleep for the life of me.

two hours after i initially said

"goodnight,"

i whispered

"is anyone asleep?"

the response was hilarious.

we could not fall asleep.

christmas cheer was in the air.

......

christmas day was wonderful.

it was one of the best.

you could say i have put on 17 pounds in the last week.

it's kind of sad.

i feel like a marshmellow man.

no one wants that.

happy holidays.

xo

how many times can i say the word "new"

my blog is obviously under some construction.

i'm needing a change.

it could be a little while before i'm fully satisfied with the layout,

so keep checking back.

i love change.

i'm so excited for this new year.

i'm excited for a new semester.

i know it sounds silly,

but i'm excited to go back to school, because i feel like i'm starting completely new.

i feel like i'm going to meet a bunch of new people.

and have totally new experiences.

i'm living in a new apartment.

i'll have new classes.

i have some new clothes.

and

i'll see new faces all over the place.

i love new.

with that being said,

i'm needing a new blog.

suggestions?

i'm open for them.

xo

christmas eve

i'm like a little kid.

i'm so excited for christmas tomorrow.

today has been a lovely day.

every christmas eve, my family and i got to my grandparent's home to eat a feast

and have a little program.

it was a good time.

my family is the LOUDEST one out there.

people always tell me i'm loud.......

and i always just want to bring them to a gathering with the smith side of the family.

trust me, i'm not the loud one.

i'm nestled in my little bed

waiting until i'm tired enough to fall asleep.

santa is coming, you know.

xo

hi.

today

we had the "cleaning people"

come to my house

(as my mom calls them).

and i was woken up this morning

to 

CLEAN 

for the cleaning people.

my mom had us clean before they came. 

like...what the heck?

i was so confused.

so incredibly confused.

later in the day,

i

of course

went to the mall with bradley.

i'm never wanting to go back again.....and that's saying a lot 

coming from me.

i'm not even going to talk about my mall frustrations right now.

just know that i'm satisfied that all my presents i needed to buy

have officially been taken care of.

tonight i babysat my cute little cousins.

and loved it.

after they went to sleep i watched a documentary on 

"Area 51."
random fact about me for all those that are unaware:
i LOVE documentaries.
i really do.
i watch them whenever they're on tv
(and whenever i'm on at the same time as them).

and then  i watched the country music awards.
another random fact:
country music is my favorite.
absolute favorite.

and  i also thought about
how much i'm enjoying being with my family

and relaxing.

but i'm also missing
this:

life is wonderful.

i'm so excited for christmas and all the fun involved with my favorite holiday!

xo

i live at the mall

today i spent the majority of my day at the 

mall

with my cute bro

bradley.

it was a good time.

we shopped and i helped him pick out a classy shirt

and he held the bags for me.

what a fun day.

we're kind of the same person

because before we walked in the mall i looked at him and said:

you know we're going to run into a million people here.

and he goes:

yeah, and i don't really want to.

that's how i was feeling.

it's fun to run into people,

but sometimes it's like.....

just let me shop.

i want to just shop and not have to make awkward conversation with twenty people i hardly know.

anyways.

we had a fun time.

and half the fun was watching each other awkwardly talk to people we inevitably ran into.

it was a good time.

later i babysat my cute cousin, ella.

she is such a little sweetheart.

she was being grumpy for a brief moment,

so i took full advantage of the opportunity 

and snapped a great shot on my phone.

ha.

 i can't help but laugh when i look at this.

christmas break has been WONDERFUL so far.

i just love being able to relax and spend time with the people i care about.

i love the holidays.

xo

entertainment of the day

so for those of you that

for some reason

may possibly remember me blogging about the random flash mob attempt 

i witnessed at the mall a few weeks ago....

the one where i literally sat with my mouth gaping

staring 

and trying to figure out what was going on?

the one where i tried telling people about how 

random and hilarious

it was...

and nobody could even begin to understand what i was talking about?

well, my friends.....

i have proof that it took place.

please watch.

and imagine sitting at a kiosk.

selling knives.

and randomly having this huge gathering around your little stand.

just try to imagine being there....
because this IS REAL LIFE

funny,

am i right?

what's wrong with me

it's 4:12 am

why can't i go to sleep?

it's like i'm doing everything possible to avoid turning off my light

and letting myself sleep.

and i'm just by myself.

so it doesn't really make sense.

here's what i did after i got off work (at ten)

to now.

-had dinner

-listened to music

-cleaned my room

-ate mady's ice cream

-facebooked

-pinterested

-watched glee

-watched new girl

-facebooked

-ate more of mady's ice cream
brushed my teeth so i wouldn't eat more of mady's ice cream

-listened to music

-refreshed facebook
-had legitimate conversations with myself 

-rolled around in my bed

-ate more of mady's ice cream....


on the agenda the day i come back to logan:

buy mady more ice cream

something needs to be done.

seriously.

help.

i love people

today the girl that does my eyebrows said to me:

"you are a dear, kind friend to me. thank you."

i kind of sat there and thought about it for a second

before responding.

i tried to think of what i had done to 

have her say something so sweet.

i realized that i just take a genuine interest in her life.

and what she's doing.

it was a reminder to me 

that you never know the impact you can have on someone's life

(positive or negative).

people pick up on the way you treat them.

everyone wants to feel loved.

and who doesn't want more friends?

so this is a reminder to myself

and you

to be friendly with those you encounter.

..because you'll make a new friend.

ben and jerry

mady and brynne went back to salt lake.

and i'm still here because i have to work tomorrow and sunday.

i have the day off,

so i'm just kind of being lazy here in my NEW place

..all by myself.

i went to walmart and picked up my favorite ice cream.

i've had half the container.

sad.

but totally great.

it's called "half-baked"

and the description says:

chocolate and vanilla ice cream mixed with GOBS of chocolate chip cookie dough and fudge brownie.

is it possible for life to get any better?

for right now, no.

moved in

here i am.

so happy

sleeping in my very OWN room in 5A.

i'm pretty much all unpacked.

i love it here.

i've lived in this apartment pretty much the whole semester,

but it hasn't technically been mine.

i haven't had my own cupboard in the kitchen,

or shelf in the fridge.

i haven't had my own bed.

or my clothes

or towels.

here just for me.

i've had to walk back to my real apartment

at three in the morning

in the snow.

back and forth

back and forth.

but now i live here.

I LIVE HERE.

with my two best friends.

and i couldn't be any happier.

i love them a lot.

they always do so much for me.

mady drives me EVERYWHERE

since my car has been in the hospital.

she even talks to me in the wee hours of the night/morning when i wake her up crying/whining

over dumb things.

she's the first person i call whenever i have concerns about anything.
she's a really good listener,
and always knows how to calm me down.
mainly because she's the only one that will say to my face:
"jasmine! calm down, you're being ridiculous!"

and she helps me with school.

brynne laughs at my stupid humor.

and makes me laugh at hers.

she listens to me when i get deep and we pour out our hearts for hours at a time.
she and i are a lot alike in many ways,
so she understands me better than a lot of people.

together, the three of us balance each other really well.

i can't imagine where i'd be without both of them.

when one of them is missing, it's like i don't feel complete.
we just get along so well.
and do everything together.

so i'm just glad i get to officially live with them.

the three of us.

gahhhhhh.

let me show you a little glimpse of what i was living with 

in 7F.

this is not exaggerated in any way.

and this is typical

on a very normal day:

gross, huh?

can't say i'll miss anything about that place.

.....except my closet.

and jo,

of course.

ready, break.

i'm going to take a few minutes to take my mind off studying

and finals

to blog about my day.

i spent a lot of time studying.

and then i took a break to go on a double date

with katie & trevor
and chase.

it was a good time.

i admire and respect guys that ask on dates.

it's how it should be, really.

instead of always "hanging out"

people really should be asking on dates more!

it was so fun.

and creative.

i had a great time

taking a break from all this school stuff.

tomorrow is a busy day.

but i can do it.

i will do it.

and it will be a good day.

it will be good to get two more finals over with

and then be done with school for three whole weeks.

it will be okay to sit at work,

because i'll have no problem falling asleep right after.

it will be good to not stay up so late.

life is good.

and

happy holidays.

happy day

i have the biggest smile on my face.

this past week has been a little stressful,

as my last post shows.

but like i've always said,

life works itself out. 

everything always works out.

all my stress that i've been having this week has been overwhelming.

finals,

grades,

work,

and trying to figure out what i'm doing as far as living situations next semester.

it was a lot at once.

but today i let all that stress go away.

i've realized that i can choose if i want to be stressed/frazzled/worried about something.

it really is a choice.

i decided to take matters into my own hands and 

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

so i've been studying really hard for my finals 

and trying to get my grades up.

i have an A in Anthropology.

96%

that made me so happy.

and i got a 97% on my Creative Arts final yesterday!

now i'm studying for my next two finals

and hoping to do really well.

as far as my job and christmas break....

i decided to give my notice that i will be leaving the job.

i am so excited to be able to spend christmas at home.

i was worried about making the phone call to my manager,

but i finally pulled it together and called.

and i talked to the management at my apartment complex this morning

about me moving out of my apartment and in with mady and brynne.

i couldn't be more excited to really be their official roommate!

life is great.

life has always been great.

i just let my worries cloud my vision for a couple days.

don't let it cloud yours :)

annoyed.

i am so overwhelmed by a number of things right now.

i don't even know how to collect my thoughts.

it's finals week....so everyone is a lot more stressed.

including myself.

i feel like i have so many things to worry about right now.

my classes.

my grades.

this dumb job that i wish i wasn't doing right now.

i never get to be home with my family.

i missed almost all of thanksgiving.

and now i'm missing a lot of christmas.

i feel like i'm being taken advantage of.

i just want to go home to my family like the rest of logan gets to.

like the rest of my friends.

i don't even care to work anymore.

i'm just a little sad at this moment.

and taking it out on my blog.

i still have 90 more pages to read in my astrobiology book.

and i'm sick of it.

i hate aliens.

i want to scream to my professor:

"if aliens exist, who cares? who cares if there is habitable life in the universe? if we can't find it, we can't find it."

but i can't.

that would not help me get an A in the class.

grrrr

i can't even pronounce my own name

last night,

i couldn't fall asleep

because i thought this day (today)

was going to be long and stressful.

but i was totally wrong.

(i also stayed up for an extra thirty minutes practicing saying my name.

i know that sounds weird, but every time i introduce myself,

people think i'm saying "Josmine."

like jocelyn.

but josmine.

i've had this problem for over a year it seems like.

so i practice saying jaaaaaaazzzzz

if you think i'm kidding, i'm not.

ask brynne, it's how i fell asleep last night).

anyways

i accomplished a lot in this day

and i had SO much energy and found myself laughing and smiling the whole day long.

i woke up early to go to the library with brynne and print off reports for one of our classes.

then i went back to the library after my first class to do math.

and then i went to math.

and then i took a little nap.

and then i went to anthropology 

and brooklin and i had twinner hair-dos.

the quality of this pic ^^^

is horrible,

but zane captured this beauty during class for us.

you can vaguely make out the outline of our two buns on top of our heads.

cute, huh?

ha

brooklin drove me to work

because my car is STILL broken.

and i worked for 7 hours, instead of six

because the mall is now open until 10 for christmas.

i'm bitter about it.

annnnnnnnnnnnd

i introduced myself to someone today

and felt so proud of myself for enunciating the syllables of my name.

jaaaaassssssmine

and the guy gives me a confused look and goes:

"Josmine?"

I. WANTED. TO. FREAK. OUT.

and i kind of did.

(to my friend in zumiez after this person left).

i even recorded myself saying my name into my phone.

i need speech therapy.

:(

it's 3:30 am 

and i'm exhausted.

i've been doing homework for a long while now 

with brynne.

i had to work all day today,

so i couldn't start it all until later.

i am so done with classes.

so done.

my eyes hurt.

my head hurts.

i'm sleepy.

i want to go to bed.

i have a very long day tomorrow.

i'm not sure if i can even think straight right now.

help.

xoxo

SOS

dancing with the stars

tonight we changed things up a little bit.

i have wanted to go swing dancing FOREVER now!

and my friends ALWAYS bail last minute..

but tonight i made them go.

there is swing dancing every wednesday night at this fun center in logan.

brynne, mady, and i 

walked in and at first we were just like

....what the heck are we doing here.

it was nothing like i thought it would be like.

so we kind of sat against the wall and watched everyone

DANCE LIKE THEY WERE PROFESSIONALS.

no big deal that i have no idea what i'm doing.

when i say professionals,

i mean flips and holding people above their heads

and people spinning on the floor

and doing all these fast, crazy dance moves.

sorry that i'm new at this.

it was almost a little bit intimidating.

i was trying to avoid making any sort of eye contact with any guy

because i was scared that i'd have to dance with them.

and i didn't want to embarrass myself.

and then i realized i was being stupid,

and that any guy there could teach me how to swing dance.

so the first time,

i completely sucked.

completely.

and the second time,

i was really bad.

like, really bad.

and the third time,

i was a little bit better, but still bad.

and then i danced for a while with the greatest guy to teach me how it's done.

and i wasn't horrible.

it was actually really, really fun!

i learned the pretzel, window, and a bunch of other weird named moves.

and i learned how to waltz.

apparantely i'll need to know that for my wedding day.

never thought of that.

and now we're going to sign up for a swing dancing class.

ohhhhhhh

and i got to witness a proposal.

the song that was playing was

"God Gave Me You"

and i was like oh this is a really cute song they decided to play.

next thing you know,

a guy got down on one knee and proposed.

i seriously had tears in my eyes.

what a cute event.

it's a good time in that fun center.

xo

food

i have issues with school.

i have issues staying concentrated on homework for long periods of a time.

how can anyone expect me to focus with SO many distractions?

so tonight i decided i would reward myself with a treat after finishing my math.

i hate math.

well,

brynne and mady pretty much held me hostage and would not let me do 

ANYTHING

until my assignment was done.

it was torture.

finally,

i finished the last problem and we walked in the frigid cold to 

the AGGIE STATION

(gas station pretty much in our parking lot)

and got treats.

i chose salt and vinegar chips

mmmmm

and ate them all in about 3 minutes.

gross,

but delicious.

also....

after a long, somewhat stressful day working at the mall,

mady and i decided we wanted to go to cafe rio.

they were giving out all their food

FOR FREE

all day.

that's right, you could order anything you wanted,

and not have to pay a cent.

(one meal per customer).

the only catch: a forever long line.

so we pulled up at 9:02 pm

and the line was just to the door.

the lady working opens it a crack and says,

"sorry, we closed at nine."

i wanted to freak out.

gross

tonight i went bowling

with a bunch of people from my church.

it was a good time.

i was so thirsty and brynne and i found a pitcher of pink lemonade on one of the tables,

but noooooooo cups.

our group didn't buy any food or drinks,

so i have no idea who's it was....

but

who has lemonade but no cups?

so of course the only option we had was to drink from the pitcher.

i was parched.

i had no other choice.

i really do have manners, sometimes.

of course as soon as i start drinking from it,

i see a camera flash.

....caught in the act.

a picture of this:

so now

 i'm sure that picture will be the only picture of me hanging in the church.

and brynne will be by my side, looking completely innocent.

oh jasmine,

good luck on getting dates now.

twitter.

today was a good day.

i got up and went to church

....and walked by myself in the snow.

go me.

had a visit from the home-teachers

and they're just the sweetest.

took an anthropology test with zane.

i knew a lot more of the answers than he did

and it was bothering me that he wasn't helping me

so i may or may not have

given him some wrong answers.

...sorry zane....

then i decided i wanted to join twitter.

i know i said i wouldn't,

but i did.

whatever.

i also went to catholic mass with mady.

it's clear to everyone that i'm not catholic,

because i have a semi-confused look on my face the whole time.

but i loved being with her in her church.

she always comes to things with me at my church,

so it's fun to be on the other side.

religions are similar in so many ways.

they all have a common goal:

to be a better person.

i love that.

there is always room for growth and development.

no matter what you believe,

or who your God is.

you can always be a better person than you were yesterday.

so that was fun.

then i watched a show on TLC called

"the virgin diaries."

about couples who wait to kiss each other until their wedding day and

stuff like that.

i was dying.

so awkward.

and then had wonderful conversation with aaron.

aaron, you're just such an interesting person.

truly.

now i'm listening to pandora and enjoying my newly installed

google chrome.

today was a great day.

xo

testosterone

most days are wonderful days.

and today was.........

i'd be lying if i said it was wonderful.

it wasn't HORRIBLE.

but it wasn't WONDERFUL.

but,

it's okay to have a mediocre day every once and a while.

there was drama in the house.

sometimes it would be nice to have a hidden camera

and let it record the moments that would make for GREAT reality television.

we would have been the hit tonight.

i haven't had any drama in my life for a LONGGGGG while.

but sometimes,

with so much testosterone in one place,

there is bound to be a random outburst or something.

things were awkward for everyone.

and then we all went to get air

and came back and we were fine.

girls are interesting people.

we have a way of dealing with things that guys don't understand.

sometimes i wish i could be a guy and punch it out.

and get over it.

but girls are very different.

sensitive beings.

and that's just the way it is.

so thank you ben and AJ for dealing with our girly ways

and letting brynne and me crash in your place.

and eat your candy.

and steal the tv.

and talk.

and force you to listen.

and yell at you when you stopped listening.

and..........

 thanks for just putting up with it.

because now the night is great.

xoxo

milk

this is what i'm going to be drinking for a while, my friends.



i am so freaking happy that i have an answer to my digestive problems.




love, the lactose intolerant.

the bus is bad news

erin came to visit me yesterday!

she has been my best friend since seventh grade.

she has just been the greatest person to have in my life

she has been there for me through EVERYTHING i've ever gone through.

good times and bad.

laughed until we can't breathe,

cried until our eyes are red,

listened to countless stories.

given advice.

kept me grounded and "in line."

we've gone to countless concerts, movies, and states together.

talked about college.

and gone to college.

in seperate states.

but kept in contact.

she will be my friend forever, i know it.

she came up to utah state and stayed the night with me.

she met some of my friends and we went to the basketball game

against her school

DENVER UNIVERSITY.

we went to angies,

a local restaurant

to "clean the sink"

(eat a sink full of ice cream and get a sticker for it).

we thought it would be sooooo easy

but we failed.

i still feel sick, and i'm not kidding.

speaking of which:

brynne and i made a discovery tonight that i think will help me from now on.

i am almost 100% positive i have some form of lactose intolerance.

i'll be seeing a doctor soon.

anyways.

erin and i stayed up for a long while talking in my bed.

i love that she knows everything about me and my thoughts.

i loved having you here, erin.

today

brynne and i took the city bus to the tanning salon.

because my car is broken.

we waited at the bus stop for forty minutes in the FREEZING cold

because we didn't know what time it was coming.

i cried.

for real.

finally

the bus came.

i have never been so excited to see something in my life.

i jumped up and down when it pulled up.

THIS

bus took us to the transit station,

where we had to get on to another bus

to take us to the tanning salon.

the only problem,

is that when we got to the transit station,

there were about ten buses to choose from to take us where we needed to go.

the only problem,

is that we had NO idea which one we were supposed to get on.

everyone was rushing around

running

and seemed to all know where they were going.

we were kind of aimlessly wandering

trying to figure out what was going on.

we found a map and thought we'd take our time to figure out which bus would take us to the salon.

the only problem is that we didn't know exactly where on the map it was.

we've been there many times,

by car.

but didn't know how to point to it on the map.

and we didn't know the name of it.

so we decided to ask the man behind the counter where to go.

this is how the conversation went:

us: we need to figure out what bus to get on, could you help us?

him: yes, where do you need to go?

us: main street

him: what coordinants?

us: ummmmm......i don't know.

him: okay....where are you going?

us: ummm...we don't really know

him: well north, or south?

us: couldn't really tell you........

him (frustrated): well.....WHERE are you going.

us: (Silence)

us: ummmmmm

me: WE'RE GOING TANNING, OKAY?!!!

him: well you could have told me that. i don't care if you tan.

me: i wasn't concerned about that, i just don't know where it is.

and then i looked out the window and saw all the buses leaving.

him: well......route 7 would be the bus for you...but it just left.

me: and when does it come back exactly.....

him: thirty minutes...

so we grabbed the maps and left.

and walked.

in the cold.

tanned.

and then sprinted to the bus station

to catch the bus back.

full. on. sprinted.

i think we're done with the bus for a while.
