McDonald's or McNut House?

So, what a long hum drum weekend I had. I was, and have been, extremely tired all the time. I'm a bit of an insominiac, so that doesn't help matters out a whole lot when I'm TRYING to get back into a normal sleep cycle. Oliver and I ended up making a 3am run to Wal-Mart and McDonald's. It eneded up being a little adeventure. We drove up to the window and this loud voice comes over the intercome "Welcome to McDonald's. Can I take ya ordah?" Oliver wanted to know if they were serving breakfast, so I asked. "Jus one min. Hold on a min." So...we waited for like 5 miniutes. "Welcome to McDonald's. Can I take ya ordah?" "Umm...are you serving breakfast." "No! No!" "Ok, well, can I get a #6 with a blue powerade?" "Jus a min. hold on one min." A few min. passed. She finally comes back. "Hello?!? Hello?!? Welcome to McDonald's. Hello?!?" "Umm. Yeah. A #6 WITH A BLUE POWERADE." "Yeah. yeah. drive up to the first window." We drive to the window and no one is there. We sit for a minute, and finally an arm starts waving spiratically out of the second window. We laugh and drive to the second window. "This ain't no powerade sir. I don't what its doin. It's spewin some kinda weird junk out. This aint no blue powerade." Oliver asked for Fruitopia. "Ok. Let's see what this thing's gonna do. Ok there it go. It's comin on out. Yep. That's Strawberry Fruitopia alright!"

We cracked up the entire time. This woman must have been lethargic from working so long, or going in late. Either way, she was just a bit loopy. For our entertainment, of course. Funny how humans get a kick out of what trials other humans are going through.

Abercrombie and people watching

Not an entirely eventful weekend. I had the room to myself again. That is always nice. My roommate went to Oxford. Her family has a house there and they go to the games quite often. I went shopping this weekend at NorthPark and got a job! Whoop whoop. Like I really have time for one. It kind of fell into my lap though. I was looking in Abercrombie and the visual manager for all the stores (the adult and kids store and Hollister) approached me and asked me about modeling some of the clothes at the store and going to different events. I thought about it and told him how busy I was, but he told me about the flexibility. It is a seasonal job. Just for the fall and winter (Oct-Dec), so if I don't want to do it after then I don't have to. Plus I get 50% off of select items, 30% off of all of the clothing on the floor. And a choice of 2 shirts and a pair of jeans for each season. I'm going to roll with it. I think prancing around in cool clothes beats flipping a burger any day!!

While I was in the mall, I was watching people. I'm an observer, so I'm always analyzing people and things. I stated thinking about how uncomfortable a lot of people are with themselves. Young girls dressing to look 10 years older, women striving to be 10 years younger. Boys trying to play it cool for the ladies. colored contacts, hair extensions, a million other things that "alter" us. What messages are we sent on a daily basis that tells us all we aren't good enough the way we are? Apparently not the message the Lord sent. I know that I fall victim to this feeling of inadequacy quite often. How messed up....we all have our problems and it's all just a matter of how we solve them. Being settled with oneself is a difficult task, but God makes all things possible.

Oh, and I found a cool remixed version of smells like teen spirit. Ha outta nowhere I know. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
