I don't know what it is with random people coming up and telling me that they know me at work. I usually have about one every other shift, but tonight, I had 3 in just 4 hours. I had a nurse come in and say that she knew my mom(which isn't surpising. my mom has worked at 3 different hospitals in 25 years), but i hadn't even told her my name or anything. I had a lady walk in and say that she was "tabitha's mom" and asked if i knew her from first assembly. First of all, how did she know i went to FA, and secondly, i didn't recognize tabitha till I saw her, and thats only because she graduated with my oldest brother more than 8 years ago.  I was in 3rd grade.

The 3rd person was an old man that came in for ice cream. We said they usual greeting, then he stopped and looked at me and said, "You did a great job in Bye Bye Birdie. I saw Dick Van Dyke do it in person on Broadway, and you performed wonderfully." I asked him if he had children who went to FA, and he said he didn't. He had just come one of the nights because he had heard we were having a production. I thanked him and gave him his ice cream.

The rest of the night went quite well minus the wreck i witnessed on the way home. A mitsubishi montero t-boned a honda accord on the passenger side at the intersection of Corban Ave and Branchview. The accord ran the light and the montero wasn't watching. I was one of 2 other cars on the road. I got out and called 911 and made sure everyone was ok, and witnessed the wreck for the police officer when she showed up. The guy in the accord was really shaken up and had a nice bump on his head from hitting his side window, but the teenage couple in montero were ok. It was the worst crash i have ever witnessed. The teenage guy driving the montero walked up to me and said the quote of the night though,"This chick is THE dumbest blonde I have ever met, and now this mess. This has been the worst date EVER." I made quick work of getting out of there because i was already late getting home and it just took a big 25 minute chunk out of my night. I'm just so grateful it wasn't me.

Christmas is coming way too slow.

thanks for visiting my life-
