Dinner with the fields....

As most of you know I have been looking for a new apartment. For the last three days I have been driving past this beautiful townhouse to see, unbeknownst to the tenants, if they have finished moving yet so I could peek into the windows to get the slightest glimpse of the inside, mind you I have an appointment to look at it on Tuesday March 2nd, 2010. I am so impaitient that I have packed all the silverware, pans, and dishes I own and the rest of the house is scattered in various piles of papers and shoes. Of course I decided last night that since I didn't have any dishes, I must go out to eat! I drove out to Wendy's :s something I should not have done, then to the post office, then :D past the townhouse! Drat.... :[ they are still there....so off I go home. Then as I am pulling onto the road between the new apartment and the old apartment, I heat a familiar sickening put-put sound. Low and behold, I was out of gas! Luckily I was on the phone with my bestestests friend in the world, Dani. After much grumbling I said she could come and bring me some gas. I managed to coast up the hill to where my current residence was in full view accross the field. I decided that it would be safer, as the sun was setting, to get as close to the Armory as I could so got out of my car and began to push, yes folks the tiny Nicole's Jujitsu muscles were of great use last night! I reached the brink of the tinyer hill atop the big hill, I was almost over it, head down calves burning, when this mystic white van taxi pulls up. I barricaded myself into the car put on the breaks and cracked my window a centimeter as the driver approached. "Do you want to be pushed in the grass so no one runs you over?" I was furious. I had pushed the car all this way and some guy wants to push it in the grass. Great. Reluctantly I said, "Sure, thanks." He pushed me backwards for what seemed like 100ft. I said, "Thank you" and off he drove. I was now forced to sit in my car and wait for my friends to bring me gas. My intentions had been to park in the Armory, take myself and my dinner home, and wait for Dani to show. I let out a long exhasperated sigh, like Napoleon Dynamite, and turned to see my dinner laying in the passenger seat. "Bah!" I looked out into the field and took out my dinner. I ate it while waiting for the gas to arrive. I ducked as each car passed partly for safety, partly for embarrassment. I just didn't want anyone to stop. Finally, I saw Dani and her bf Taylor. I was so thankful for my friends! I finally made it home, but I will never forget the night I had dinner with the fields. ;)
