They have been warning us of a winter storm for a few days and today it finally hit. Good news is that for the first time in at least five years my job actually closed down. No tax preparation for me today. Aden and me it the hay inside while the snow hit the ground outside. But alas, there is no rest for the weary as I remember the computer I bought for a client last night still in my car waiting to be installed in their office. So I call the client hoping no one would answer, I come to find that unlike every other place in the city, they hadn’t shut down because of the weather. Its around nap time for Aden and he is excited for our drive in the snow, until he falls asleep in the car. He’s so precious! The roads were not. Its a good thing I learned how to drive in this because it was bad!
Visibility was horrible, a real white out. But I eventually slid my way over to my son’s mother’s house and dropping the little man off but not before he dropped one of his patented Toy Story cowboy boots in the snow while I was carrying him. After that whole thing was done I made it to my client’s office. The lady who works there is quirky and fun so that helped past the time while I installed the computer. Writing most of this helped pass the rest of the time after she left. While writing this, all I can think about was the gallon on butter pecan from Culvers that I had my little bro buy me. Mmmmm Mmmmm Good! I am a butter pecan ice cream fiend! With my mouth still watering, I finished my job, cleaned off my car and was back on the road. It was pretty empty out there so I decided to do something I’ve never done before. I pulled my car to the side of the interstate, found a building I liked, hopped out of my car, went the railing and took a picture.
I thought it would be something cool to show off 15 years from now. After I got home, I helped my sister get unstuck in the snow and get her car in her parking space. I finally made it home, popped in a movie, put my feet up and whet thru a quart of the good stuff. The movies I’ve been watching lately all seem to be about my alter ego, lets call him OCBenji. He never panics, always has some quick-witted remark and of course, always gets the girl. While deep in thought about my movie watching preferences and my attitude I came to the conclusion that I have become OCBenji. Even the way I walk is full of purpose and testosterone. I smirked to myself as I licked the butter flavor from a pecan. I turn my attention back to the movie. While watching the movie, I realized that I had dated Salma Hayek in my previous relationship. Well she looked like her anyway, a little. Weird. At the end of the movie, I was kinda sad when I realized that I had nobody to come home to and that I would never be waiting for somebody else to come home. But the way I figure (and this could just be my excuse), its better to save up buy what you want than have something new from the dollar store every day. But still, I wouldn’t mind having a little something from Target every once in a while.
I wonder what is the best way to meet somebody/go shopping?
