The Misadventures of my Christmas Vacation

Most of you readers don't know me..I am known to be quirky, silly, and at times a bit scatterbrained...sometimes I feel that if I had to keep up with my head I would have a hard time finding it. My Christmas vacation turned out to be filled with some unexpected and funny adventures...what can I say there is never a dull moment with me around. I left Florida on Friday, December 20th, my car packed, my house semi-clean, and exhausted from a crazy crazy week. I left an hour and half later than I wanted to since I got busy trying to get my classroom cleaned, things at my house straightened, trash out, and a T.V. put into my car. I was all excited to finally be ready to go, but still had to put gas in my car and get my Starbucks for the road. As I went out of my house in a frenzy I grabbed my keys, or so I thought. Turned out by the time I locked my door and closed it I had grabbed my school keys...NOT my house keys. Thankfully, I have given a friend my keys so she can feed my dear fish, Gershwin while I was away. I don't live too far away from where we work, so I walked back to school to get my key, walked back home, then drove back to give her the keys back. I hopped in my car and drove and drove and drove to my first stop--the Davis' house. I stayed the night there, exhausted from a busy week and from driving slept pretty soundly. The next morning I woke up and looked at my phone...still being sleepy, the room being dark, and not having glasses on I put my phone in a cup of water (ARGH)....so now I had a water damaged phone. I then drove to NC to see a friend, Angela and we spent that time getting my phone figured out--thankfully she had an extra one and had my number put on the old phone--by this really nice looking Verizon salesperson. I then traveled the rest of the way to my families house....got my stuff in the basement and took a breath after the crazy misadventures. OH DID I MENTION THURSDAY NIGHT I WENT TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND GOT LOST ON THE WAY...YEAH I WAS THAT TIRED.....Anyway back to my vacation....I spent most of my time laying in bed watching my new all time favorite show--Chuck (Zachary Levi is now my new favorite celebrity crush--he is now only cute and handsome but hilarious--oh and he sings {Flynn in Tangled})! The Saturday after Christmas I traveled to VA to see my all time best friend, and we went to this creepy almost abandoned mall....compared to the malls around where I live this one was really creepy....I had a good time with Amy and he little one. The adventure continues to Tuesday where I went to see my other best friend Angela and to spend the week with her...We spent NYE at a friend's house celebrating till almost 3:30 A.M....We stayed up most of the night I was there just chilling....Thursday was a cold and rainy day and we spent it taking her dog to the vet, THEN as we were going out to eat I received a text from my bank...I had 27.00 in my account...turned out I double payed on a bill...so I called mom and dad and said HELP! We drove up to my parent's and ate dinner there and then drove back down. When we got back to Angela's I realized I had left my keys at my parents.....what can I say.. =) So, the next day we met my parents half way so I can get my keys...Saturday morning I left to come back home to Florida and could have kissed the ground when I got home...but the misadventures don't end there....I had received a T.V. and Blu-ray player for Christmas and was having trouble getting my blue-ray to work with my internet...I drove to Sears and the electronic guy didn't know how to set up the player with the internet...so me being tired and frustrated went back home and got my geeky, nerdy side going and figured it out myself....the next morning I slept way past Sunday school and made it just in time for church. I have rested up from my trip, but still need to unpack my clothes. It was a good vacation over all, and the unexpected adventures made it even more exciting.
