SO...it's been a while since I have blogged so I have many, many stories to tell.
Story Update #1 "my crotch jeans." They have been repaired 3 times. First the patch that is on the outside of the pants, (how awesome is that?) then I got a hole next to the patch, naturally. Then she fixed the second patch, only to cause another hole. All holes have been patched and life is good again. However, another tragedy has occurred, my MOST favorite running skirt. Yes, the one I wear that is Nike and helped me survived the Disney marathon, has 2 holes in the crotch. You would think all that darn running would make my thighs smaller and prevent the holes. You guessed wrong. They have been sent to my mom's for repair. She claims that she will have to get bathing suit material to salvage this item. This could take a while.
Story #2, a good friend of mine, let's call her Ms. Hot legs, always says, "the universe is on your side" Now I have to admit that that comment seems a little fruity and that she might, in another life, be from California. HOWEVER, sometimes she is right on the money with this comment. So on Monday, I got a freaking cold sore, and if you really know me, this ruins my day and I want to put a brown paper bag on my head. I can't control them but they are the worst thing ever and naturally happen to me at the worst times. It goes back to my Iphone. I don't know if I told you about my Iphone. When I was having dance fever at the bar at a bachlorette party, my iphone fell out of my purse. I didn't notice. I only checked for my wallet, and when I heard a thud, I thought it was nothing. My wallet was still in my purse, and I zipped it up. I had it open while I was getting money out. Well then my girlfriend, let's call her Ms. Hollywood, back at the hotel, gets a text message from me at like 2am, only it wasn't me. Someone had found my Iphone on the ground. YIKES! He or She texted her because she was the last person I called I guess. So the person said he was staying at Joule (some hotel in Dallas), and that he would leave it at the front desk for me under my name. So Ms Hollywood said OK, and that we would pick it up the next day. So when I got to the hotel at 3am, Ms. Hollywood told me the story. So of course, I was totally stressed out because that dang phone has my whole life in it and I haven't backed it up since I got my computer up and running. (that is a whole other story) So I couldn't sleep and I was really wondering if someone was going to "really" leave my phone at the front desk. So we googled the hotel and drove there the next morning and went to the front desk and told the lady, and of course she looked at me like I was crazy and told me to have a seat. I told her my name and described the case. Then 2 minutes later, a man brought me my phone. It didn't even have a scratch on it. So that was good. I was so relieved. So off we went to lunch. So then 1 day later, I woke up with a cold sore probably because all I could think about was a lost phone and $200.00 I would have to spend to replace it. STRESS = COLD SORES in the land of Diana. Stupid body! Moral of the story: the universe is on your side - SOMETIMES - !! Now, what I really felt good about is this, just when you have given up hope on all of humanity and that people are evil and are only out to screw you. (i.e. previous people in my life and some boyfriends who remain nameless) A person appears that actually has some good in their heart. Ah yes, all is right with the world.
Story #3 is my computer. Or maybe I should say the drama continues in my life...My super techy, also known as Ms. Hollywood, was over saving me from another crisis, that also was about my Iphone, and she said, "Diana, this computer is about to die." Then she explained a list of signs, the grinding noise, the 20 minutes it took to boot up, the programs on it. Yadda, yadda, yadda. So I took this info as hey, this is serious. I called my techy genius brother. I said the computer is about to die, and oh by the way, my laptop has administrator rights and guess who isn't the administrator. Move to next scene. I drop laptop off at house for repairs. Repairs include formatting, which means erase and redo in normal human talk. So in the mean time, I was using the junker computer. AND THEN IT DIED. I was making a fabulous ring tone for my gaybors and then nothing. No noise, no boot up and just a black screen of DEATH! So I shipped that computer off too. Then I was computer-less at home for about 10 long days, it would have been much longer if I had not thrown a serious hissy fit at my brother. Hence, 2 days later it was complete, and I had to pay up in the amount of a Thai dinner. I know you think, that is an awesome deal. WRONG. My brother can eat a small human for dinner. But all in all, it was worth it.
Story #4 - my brother the artist with techy type smarts, and a smart dry sense of humor, and crazy fashion sense, and super HATER of all things conventional or normal. Basically through the computer fiasco, I had to get an earful of the following, "don't do this, or your will F it up, or this, or this. And I put on a dummy proof program to help you not F it up."
So basically he has a serious issue with anything mainstream which includes Itunes. Well guess what, I have 2 Ipods and an Iphone, I have to use their freaking program, it backs up my LIFE! So I did the first back up 2 night ago, say good bye to my IPhone apps, I was about to by super hysterical, but then I learned that was the only small issue. No contacts or calendar items were deleted so I didn't have to throw the computer down the stairs.
That is folks. Enjoy.
