Men's Underwear

Another Monday, another day I am ready to go insane with boredom. Actually, when I think about it, today was very interesting. I went to work and was allowed to stay for the whole day (yay! – well at least I didn’t drive in and waste gas!) While at work I discovered a pair of men’s underwear in the road. I have no idea why they were there. I just drove over them and figured that they must belong to the same guy who left a condom under one of my flower baskets. I LOVE working at the city! (If you could only hear the sarcasm in my voice!) Along with the craziness of the underwear and condom I was approached by a guy who thought I worked for TruGreen Lawn Services. He began asking me tons of questions until I told him I worked for the City. It was very weird. Especially since I drive a vehicle that says “Parks and Recreation: City of J-Town”. Plus I DON’T wear any kind of uniform. And why would TruGreen Lawn water hanging baskets of flowers? Some people are just crazy! On my route I drive by a carpet place. In fact one of my baskets is right outside of their door. Sometimes I see the owners coming and going, but they aren’t very friendly. Usually the owners have a little dog with them and sometimes the dog will stand in the store window and bark at me. I always want to like the dog, but it doesn’t seem to like me and neither do the owners so I have given up on being friends with them. Today, I noticed that there was a picture of the dog in the window, nicely framed with a couple of toys propped up against the frame. At first I was like “wow, they really like that dog to put a picture of it in the window” and then I realized that the dog must have died! I haven’t seen it in weeks! But there is a picture! At first I felt really bad about the dog dying, but then I remembered it didn’t like me and neither did the owners, but then I felt bad about NOT feeling bad. One last thing about work: people downtown are NOT very friendly, in fact most the time they are really rude! I try to be friendly and smile at everyone but the creepers because I am a city employee but many people DO NOT smile back and it makes me feel bad because I am trying to be nice, I don’t have to be! Moving on from work stories, I have wedding stories. My cousins wedding invitation came in the mail the other day and here is the picture:


They are kind of cute, but it doesn’t really seem like a wedding invite, but that isn’t what bothers me about the invites. (oh, the background is the new furniture my parents bought!) Take a closer look:


That’s right, I didn’t get a 1 +. Why didn’t I get a 1 +? She asks me to be freakin’ program and bubble girl and I don’t get to bring a guest! Why is that? Does she think I can’t get a date? I can get a date! I am no longer excited about this wedding, in fact I am annoyed and really don’t want to go. Actually, I don’t think I can afford to participate anymore. I had to buy two bridal shower gifts (for this weekend and for July 13), a bachelorette party gift, underwear, and I still need to buy a wedding gift. This sucks. When I get married I am going to make her be program/bubble girl and I will make sure she is like 8 months pregnant. And I will invite her to every single party I have.

Ok, sorry, I am becoming bitter.

I hope everyone else is having a great summer! It was nice to see my Saginaw buddies this weekend! We had a great time at Greek Fest, but didn’t get to break any plates!
