Confessions of a Twenty-Something Drama Queen


What a day! I decided that with school starting just around the corner, it was time to get to work on my new library. So, I hopped in the car and headed up there. Soon, I was feeling kind of hungry, so I went up to the grocery store and got some food. I wanted something a little different, so I went with a croissant and chicken salad. Apparently, I just couldn't contain my hunger, because that croissant was gone before I even left the parking lot. Up to school I went, with my chicken salad in hand. Just one tiny problem. It is a brand new school with not a fork to be found- not anywhere. So...after searching the school to no avail I knew I was up a creek. What to do? Well, perhaps a more civilized girl would have put that stuff in the fridge and waited for later. But oh no, not me. So what did I do? I searched high and low for something to use and came up with what I thought was a decent alternative. That's right- Amanda ate her chicken salad with a ruler. Oh, yes, I just wrote that alright. A RULER! In my defense, it was still in the package, and I ran it under hot water. The meal was quite delicious, and frankly, it taught me a little about myself. I apparently have no shame.

Compared to that little nugget of information, the fact that I ran over a dead skunk on my way home seems a little tame. But let me tell you what...the smell was anything but tame and I am currently contemplating pouring V8 all over my car. Like I said, what a day.

  2. See what happens when you move away from me and into that uppity Frisco? Here in Grand Prairie I would have used my perfectly good, God given utensils. My fingers!! Of course, I would have washed them first. Next you're going to tell me that you have bathrooms IN your house up there.
