Weekend Recap

After work on Friday, I met up with Sarah at the Northlake Mall. We had plans to spend the evening and early morning waiting for the midnight release of Twilight on DVD (yes I am one of those Twilight people). We went to the Borders Midnight Release Party. I have 3 words to describe the event: LAME, UNORGANIZED, RUDE. We ended up hanging out in the cafe upstairs until it was time to line up for our purchase. We read magazines and made fun of the chaos going on below us. Oh, and taking pictures of ourselves. :)

Sarah is always playing with her iphone




Sarah & Me

So after waiting all night for the DVD, I went home to watch it. Yes I watched it at 2 a.m., even though I have seen it several times.

I wish I could say that the rest of my weekend was eventful but it wasn't. After staying up until almost 5 am on Saturday, I spent most of the day sleeping. Then it was chores and playing catch up on TIVO. I made enchiladas for dinner on Sunday. YUMMY!

CSI on 40 Acres?!?!

My mom is visiting my Grandparents in Reno this week to help out. They haven't been doing so well lately :( I called after I got home from work for our usual chat. This is how the conversation went:

Me: What are you doing?

Mom: Watching CSI

Me: Oh, cool. Have you seen it before?

Mom: No, seriously watching CSI here on the property.

Me: Ummm, excuse me? What are you talking about?

You see my family lives outside the city, in the middle of no where really, on 40 acres of land. Apparently this is how it all went down. My uncle left for work at 5:30 am. When he got to the main road, it was blocked off by the police. They were searching for an armed suspect in the area. Douggy Fresh (my uncle. thats what I call him) went back to the house to let the others know what was going on. He gets out of his truck and notices blood on my cousin's car, his truck, and all along the front porch. The guy had been hiding on 40 acres. Fresh called the law to let them know (sorry I'm having fun with this) of his findings. The SWAT team and the CSI's were called in and they spent the next 14 or so hours searching and collecting evidence. CRAZY! I tell you nothing exciting ever happens around there. So when I went to bed last night, they still hadn't found the guy, a 19 year old kid by the way. I checked the local news this morning and this is what I found:

Found at the hospital about 40 miles away being treated for a gun shot wound. Well they don't say that in the article, but I know the guy was bleeding.

Ridiculous.

Ehem...13 year old girl moment

Wordless Wednesday

Charlotte and Snow Don't Mix

I have no idea who will read this, but I figured oh what the hell!

I don't understand why this city shuts down when it snows. I spent two winters in Reno, NV where it SNOWS, I'm talking like 3 feet, not 3 inches. We got about 5 inches maybe more on Sunday night, which is a lot for this area, but I mean seriously this city shuts down. No school, no banks, heck even restaurants close. By Monday morning the sun was shining bright, and still everything was closed. Ridiculous I tell you. Another thing I find hysterical is that everyone stocks up on milk, bread and eggs?!? Maybe I'm out of the norm here but I don't consider those to be the staples I would want if I was snowed in. I would be stocking up on things like water for one....and wine for another.
