What a week ...

Sooooo it's been a minute ....
Sorry.

It's been a crazy week. Work has been long and hard. But ya girl, J. Pumpkinseed loves being a Certified Superhero. Lot of random stuff has happened this week. But then again by now you should know that random things happen to me on the regular. So does that really make them random? Shouldn't that be considered the usual? Idk. Anyways, here comes the list. U know how it goes:

1) Took my first ride in an ambulance a few days ago. Not as exciting as you'd think. Don't worry, I was riding shotty not layin in the back. But yeah not too exciting. Dude didn't even turn the siren on. I shoulda asked him to. Prolly woulda just looked at me like I was crazy. LoL. Next time I'm askin tho. I don't care.

2) Overheard at football practice:

Player 1 (while drinking water): Man this water is good. I been drinkin so much I gotta piss.
Player 2: Yeah. Its nice and cold. Go piss in the port-a-potty.
P1: Nah, I'll just do what I did the other day.
P2: What's that?
P1: I'll piss on myself.
P2: What?!
P1: We were in the middle of inside drills and I had to piss so I just peed on myself.
P2: Dude that's disgusting. You know u prolly got piss all over everybody when u tackled them, right?
P1: Nah man. I sprayed water on myself after I went.
P2: That's still disgusting dude.

[Disturbing right. What's really disturbing is that while there is a huge chance that dude was joking, he is also the type of individual who could be keeping it 100. Said it with such a straight face that I honestly have no idea.]

3) Shoutout to Antigua for suggesting this bomb Caribbean joint. A bunch of us went to this place called MP International Grocery & Restaurant. Food was on point. I had some oxtail with rice and peas. And it couldn't be an authentic Caribbean joint without my Kola Champagne! Prices was good. Service was good. And u know it's real when they got the grocery store and restaurant together. Felt like I was in MIA. Food was almost as good as my Claire's food. I stress the almost part. Ain't nothin better than mom's. Bottom line: I will be going there again. And again. And again.

4) Got a flat tire yesterday. Down the street from my house. In the rain. No biggie tho because Cliff taught me how to change a flat (See? I do listen). However, he didn't tell me what a lugnut key is so I was struggling with the last lugnut for a while. In the rain. Luckily, I finally caved in and called Cliff to figure out what was goin on. LoL. Please tell me I'm not the only one walkin around who had never seen a lugnut key before. Learn something new everyday. Sometimes in the rain.

5) Found out that I like Arbor Mist. A lot.

6) Saw Pamela, the Granby Street Hula Hoop Lady. That's right, she's still hula hoopin. It was hot outside too. I might have to stop and buy her a Gatorade next time. Don't want her getting dehydrated.

7) In other update news, I went back to Popeyes. Usually I go inside so I can check my food cuz they always mess it up. But this time I decided to go thru the drive thru cuz it was dark and its in a sketchy neighborhood. I put in my usual order and pull up to the window. Who do I see? Only the cashier that was working the night of the Popeyes Fiasco! I thought for sure that her and LaShonda were fired cuz I hadn't seen them in a minute. I asked her if they had had anymore fires recently and she tells me no. Then she looks up and realizes who I am. Next thing I know, she's calling Shonda over to the window and we're all laughin it up. So after all this, you'd think that I was gettin my meal for free. Erroneous. If I'd gone inside it woulda been one thing. However, since I went thru the drive thru and it was already in the system, no free food for me. Of course.

8) I'm trying out a new hair salon. Yes, I realize that its only been a week and a half since the last horrible retwist. Don't remind it. But it doesn't matter because it looks like its been a month and a half. This place is a little pricey but Antigua recommended it and she came thru on the Caribbean food so things are looking good. Stay tuned ...

So that's what's been up. I'm prolly forgetting a bunch of stuff but that's all I feel like typing. Grad school starts in a week. Between now and then I guarantee u a million different things will happen that are blog worthy. And if I told u once, I told u a thousand times, I do not make this stuff up!
