Thursdays with Lexie

Okay, so that was my lame copy of Tuesdays with Morrie. I think you guys know I am not the most creative, but instead most lame;)

Today started off well enough, woke up at 8:55am and got dressed to go close my account at PEFCU. I will not go into details since I am certain many of you have unfortunately heard me complain about PEFCU to the point you were probably like, "why don't you just close your account?" So after doing that, I went to Bank One to open a new account. The man, Mr. Larry Simpson, was very pleasant and helpful. (If only all of Bank One employees were that way) I went over to Starbucks to see if I could get a Direct Deposit form, but no luck. So I went back home, chatted with my mom since she was planning on coming up to visit me.

Came back home cleaned a little, took out the trash and got ready. My mom arrived around noonish, I gave her one bad direction, felt bad, but she got straightened back out quickly. We went to Steak and Shake for lunch. On the way there she heard what my car was doing...jerking and what not. Mom said it didn't sound good and said I should get it checked out. So we went and ate lunch, where I saw Venti Caffe Vanilla Frappuccino with a friend. She is a nice lady, I like her a lot. Then my dad called and talked to my mom and said I should take my car to the Dodge dealership (he didn't pay for the extended warranty for nothing!). So I was like, I'll take it later after we run some errands. And then when we were leaving the parking lot my car did a lot of jerking and basically died on me. So off to the dealership we went after I got it started up again. End to a long story that could be longer, I am dropping it off on Sunday and they will look at it on Monday and I am praying/hoping all will be well and reasonably affordable.

What else? Went over to campus to pay a bill so we had a nice time chatting and walking around. It was really nice today! My mom of course being a mom said some very encouraging things about finding a boy, etc. Which included some compliments and I think we know I am not good with compliments so I just smiled and said "heh" and went into detail about a certain guy I like, but has no clue about it. Then Mom and I went over to Goodwill in West Lafayette. Found two tee shirts and two blouses and a cassette tape and a cd. When I was browsing through the different shirts it made me think back to high school/beginning of college and how I used to wear old lady shirts/old mens button shirts. I managed to part ways with a lot of them in the last few years. I remember my friend Charlie telling me he liked my style. If you call it style, I think my normal outfits back then consisted of me wearing jeans, a long sleeve plaid shirt with an old man cardigan over it and my grey clogs and my hair in a bun. I miss those clogs. I shouldn't have given them away. oh well. Anywho. Then we headed over to Starbucks where we got some Summer Berry Stacks and beverages. Writing this it makes me realize I do miss my parents and I really do appreciate the time I get to spend with them. My parents are great people, that is all I can say. And of course that I love them very much=)

Later I ran into some weird situations at Bank One, but I don't feel like typing that out. I stopped back by Starbucks to get that direct deposit slip (this was around 7 something) and ended up going with Abby to GFS to get trash bags. It was a fun little trip. I ended up confessing that I was giving up my old ways of having a million crushes and that even though I think shaggy haired/grand coffee is cute, he's moved out of the picture. I have decided to clean the slate and go with one crush. Venti nonfat no foam chai latte...sometimes iced. *sigh* Like, I got really excited the other day when he ordered through the drive through and I happened to be on dt. He knows my name so the next step is to find out his name. I was saying to Abby that he seems like a really nice guy and that he probably is nice to everyone like he is with me, and Abby said you never know. heh. Anyways, I should stop talking about this cause I am smiling like a krazy Asian;)

All for now.

I will blog later about my Street Team prize mix up. All you need to know at the moment is that I have a dark blue electric guitar in a box on my kitchen floor that has been signed by the members of Papa Roach. Man, I really wish I had a digital camera right now!
