I came home for the first time in 3 weeks this weekend for Halloween. And because I had been going on a week without boxers. A.k.a. wearing athletic shorts under my jeans and then wearing those same shorts to bed. As uncomfortable as it was, I learned a valuable lesson: Don't be so frugal that you're not willing to spend $1.50 on washing your clothes. It's not worth the wait, lemme tell ya. It's like...working out in one shirt, taking a shower and then putting the same shirt on to sleep in, and then wearing that shirt under another shirt to school to the next day. For a week. Alright maybe that's a little exaggerated, athletic shorts are more manageable than that, but it was still nacksty. I just said nacksty out loud to make sure I spelled it right phonetically and caught a whiff of my breath after brushing my teeth. Now that was nacksty...
Maybe one reason is because of all the sugar I've digested in the last 12 hours. After restringing my dad's guitar and playing it for a good while, I was reunited with Rebekah, Emily, and Justin. But before I saw them I had eaten a fair share of Reese's, Skittles, Snickers, etc. Plus two large bowls of my mom's excellent chili (I had to have a second one because after I ate the first one I saw my dad eating one with Frito's in it, and I just had to have me some Frito's). We met up at Shari's for milkshakes, and I ended up drinking my caramel shake that just tasted like French vanilla to quote Justy, half of Rebekah's strawberry, and part of Emily's oreo. It ended up being like three full glasses. But apparently that wasn't enough, because when I got home I had some chicken wings and Kit-Kats while we watched Hocus Pocus. Classic. Not as scary as I remember, but thrilling nonetheless.
Yesterday I watched Ice Age 3. Everyone said it was the best of the trilogy, but I couldn't decide. The first one is amazing.
This morning I offered to take Carson to Wal-Mart to get an SD card for his DSi, and Cody to Taco Bell to get a free blackjack taco (didn't start giving them away till 6). I told Carson SD cards were only like five bucks, so he cleaned the bathroom to earn five dollars from my mom. Turns out they run about $12, so I took his five and paid for the rest myself. We don't have an adapter for our computer, so now someone has to buy him one. They're like another $12. If only I knew I could get 20 bucks for cleaning the bathroom when I was younger...I guess my mom did pay us 25 cents a spider and 10 cents for every fly we killed when I was a kid. That ended after we started leaving the doors open to let all the creatures of the world into our kitchen.
Well, today officially marks the beginning of No Shave November 2009. I'm all set, ready to go. I think this year will be more hopeful than the last, which lasted 18 days if I remember correctly. My beard wasn't as scrumptious as it is now and my stache...well, it will be as the French say, toujours dégoutant. I'm excited for Thanksgiving, although a face of scraggly hairs isn't exactly how I wanted to see my girlfriend for the first time in two months...eh, she'll get over it :)
Ramblin' Man out.
