Well lets see

 October 10, 1999

Well lets see ... Kris is finally home and I am so glad ... I missed her so much ... so I knew she was coming home kinda late last night ... so I worked hard all day ... I met dean for coffee in the morning ... got home around 10:30 AM ... and worked till 8:30 PM ... got a whole site set up so dean could put on the final touches ... and then I broke open Kris' vodka ... 

when I left starbucks in the morning I hurt my back again ... since I don't have a rear view mirror in my car I have to really turn around to back out ... and I turned too much ... I got home and was dying ... well after I tried everything to help my back I figured I might as well drink some ... that would dull the pain ... so I made vodka and cranberry and hung out waiting for Kris to get home ... 

when she finally did ... Kris and Chevy and Jessica came over and we all went to this Irish pup at the resort at Summerlin ... it is a pretty groovy place and we always have fun there ... I was already pretty drunk when we left the house ... that is why everyone came to pick me up ... so I didn't drink much after we went out ... but I had a great time ... 

and I had lots of fun when I got home too ... I was talking to my friend Tommy and having a blast ... and I was feeling really cute ... excited ... and giddy and even though I would have loved company ... I think I had a better time last night by myself ... it was just one of those times where I feel great about everything ... even my back wasn't hurting too much ... of course that could have been due to the vodka ... 

so any way ... I played and had fun ... and went to bed ... I turned the ringer off on my bedroom phone so I could sleep in ... which I did get to do ... I woke up around 10:30 and got dressed to go out and get a coffee ... only to walk to my parking space and find it empty ... I stood there for a second ... kind of confused ... thinking ... what the hell ... I know I didn't drive anywhere last night ... I had been drinking ... I stood there for a minute and scanned my brain ... trying to remember if I had driven my car anywhere yesterday and left it ... but I couldn't think of a thing ... this guy unloading stuff from his car said ... "are you ok" ... and I said ... "oh my goodness my car has been stolen!!"

he said he has seen a bunch of kids out there Saturday night ... but since I never went back there cause I didn't drive ... I didn't see them ... at first I thought ... well maybe Kris was playing a bad joke on me ... she had called and said she was on her way over ... so I ran in and called her ... and she freaked and said she would never play a joke like that ... the only other person was dean ... so I called him and he said "Liz if I were gonna do something like that I would make sure I was there so I could laugh at you" ... hahahaaa ... so I called the police and gave them the basic info ... and they told me they would call me back to take the report ... 

Kris was going to the grocery ... and came over to hang out before hand ... I hadn't planned on going with her ... but without a car ... I figured I should take every opportunity to get stuff I need when I have a ride ... so we actually hung out and got smoothies ... talked ... and then went grocery shopping ... then she dropped me off at home ... the whole time we were out I had my calls forwarded to her cell phone but the police still hadn't called ... I called them again when I got home and they said they were still really busy ... and would call me back

which 6 hours later they finally did ... they took all the info from me but didn't sound too promising about getting my car back ... I am supposed to call tomorrow more to find out more info ... 

so my parents told me I should start thinking about a new car if they don't find mine ... and I know I want something smaller and more economical ... there is no reason for me to have a big minivan ... its not like I have kids or something ... and it is a huge gas guzzler ... well heather turned me on to this great new car ... it is the Honda Insight ... and it looks pretty bitchen ... this is going to be the first time I have bought my own car ... my parents have always bought them in the past ... so it is gonna be a big deal ... that I am kind of nervous about ... but it will also be the first time I will have a brand new car ... I've always wanted to be the first owner of a car ... {smile} ... 

the really weird thing about all this ... when I was coming home yesterday from coffee ... I was thinking ... man I would love to get a new ... smaller ... more efficient car ... and only 24 hours later ... my big ... gas guzzling ... falling apart car is gone ... wow the power of thought ... hummm ... what would I like to change next in my life?? 

I do have a chiropractors appointment tomorrow ... but it is pretty close and walking won't be too big of a deal ... although that does mean I need to get up earlier tomorrow which means I should definitely go to bed soon ... 

I talked to heather a bunch this weekend ... man I miss her ... I wish there was an opportunity to see her soon ... she has been so busy since she went back to school to become a deaf interpreter ... she has been studying so hard ... I am just so proud of her ... and I think she picked the perfect field for her ... just makes me so happy talking to her about it and hearing how well she is doing and how much she loves it ... 

I tried to call my old roommate Sean a couple of times this weekend but I wasn't able to get a hold of him ... I miss him a lot too ... I want all my friends from Kansas to move out here ... ohhh maybe that is what I should change next in my life ... use my mental powers to get my friends out here ... hahahahaa

besides working like a dog ... I haven't done much else ... my house needs cleaning so badly ... but the bending ... lifting ... scrubbing all are such a strain on my back ... so I have done a little here and there ... but I really need to do it all ... I guess with all the time I will be cooped up in the house now I will be able to get it done eventually ... 

well I feel sleep approaching ... so I shouldn't ignore it ... for fear I will hit my second wind and not go to bed for hours ... ahhh sweet dreams await!!
