as if having to evacuate and "re-vacuate" weren't enough of an ordeal, we decided to go to the castle last night to have a few drinks, listen to good, loud music and watch cute guys in skirts. after several clothing decisions we got there a little late (well late for us) and had a hard time finding a free place to park. since there are plenty of lots that charge to park and cars still get broken into, we like to find the free spaces and usually have no problems. as we walked back to the car roomie noticed that we had gotten a ticket. bad deal as it is, it's always a chance because the "parking nazis" (not the actual police) seem to just look for things to give tickets out for. as we got closer, she unlocked the doors and as i walked up to the passenger side of the car i realized that the window was gone and there was glass all over the seat. we called the cops and after an hour of standing in a creepy area where most people had left and gone home from, several shouts from passing cars getting off the interstate and a few unsavory looking characters passing by, a cop finally arrived. he was really cool, dusted for prints (hehe) found none and then let us go on our own recognizance. we got home around 6am, tired, hungry and cranky.
i slept till 10 and since more storms were coming i got myself out of bed and to home depot and publix before the rain started. oh yeah, and i had "breakfast" at taco bell...yum yum
by the way, it still hasn't rained, *grumble*. i bet i can get it to rain if i get that lawn mower out...hehehe. i think i will install the closet door i bought instead. anyhow, the lawn is soggy and it can wait.
then again, maybe i will just nap.

oh yeah by the way...nothing was stolen out of the car. nothing. even though the car was in neutral and the emergency brake was off (roomie never leaves the car like this) they couldn't even take the car because she has one of these. i thnk i will order one for myself. she got it after her last vehicle was stolen. they are relatively inexpensive considering the alternative. at least we had a car to drive home in, even if it was missing a window.
