MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, AND A STOLEN IPOD

MY FRIENDS AND I DECIDED TO CELEBRATE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND THIS YEAR BY HAVING A BBQ FOR OUR OTHER FRIENDS! ONCE WE GOT THE GRILL... ENDED UP WAITING ABOUT AN HOUR FOR THAT, BUT IN THE END WE WERE ABLE TO GRILL THE BURGERS! MY FRIEND HYRUM BROUGHT THE MEAT WHICH HE MARINATED OVER NIGHT AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! THERE WERE ALL SORTS OF CONDIMENTS FOR SAID HAMBURGERS AND WE EVEN HAD BRATWURST (WHICH I DID NOT TRY). WE HAD A GOOD TURN OUT, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 15 AND 20 PEOPLE SHOWED UP! IT WAS FUN TO GET TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS I HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME. WE JOKED AND LAUGHED AND ATE GOOD FOOD! JUST THE WAY A GOOD BBQ SHOULD BE! THE NIGHT WAS A SUCCESS AND AROUND TEN PEOPLE STARTED LEAVING, MOST HAD WORK IN THE MORNING.
DEVIN AND I DECIDED TO HEAD OUT WITH OUR FRIENDS KELSEY AND MICHAEL. WE WENT OVER TO KELSEY'S AND WATCH THE FIRST SHREK! QUITE A GOOD TIME. EVENTUALLY THE MOVIE ENDED AND DEVIN AND I HEADED BACK TO THE BBQ TO PICK UP MY CAR, WHICH I NOTICED I HAD LEFT UNLOCKED, BUT HEY THIS CACHE VALLEY UTAH. SO I DIDN'T EVEN GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT...UNTIL THIS MORNING WHEN I COULDN'T LOCATE MY IPOD, WHICH HAD BEEN IN MY CAR, WHICH HAD BEEN UNLOCKED.
SO OF COURSE I'M FRANTICALLY SEARCHING MY ROOM AND MY PURSE HOPING THAT I SUBCONSCIOUSLY PUT IT SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN MY CAR. AFTER A FRUITLESS SEARCH I HEADED TO WORK.
AT WORK I DECIDED TO EMAIL MY GOOD FRIEND KYLEIGH, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I ALSO COULD NOT LOCATE MY PREVICID (HEARTBURN MEDS) AND THE LAST PLACE I HAD THEM WAS LAST NIGHT AT HER PLACE. I TOOK ONE RIGHT BEFORE WE STARTED TO EAT. SO I KNOW I HAD THEM THERE. I INFORMED HER THAT I COULD NOT FIND MY IPOD OR MY PILLS. TO WHICH SHE REPLIED THAT WHEN SHE GOT INTO HER CAR THIS MORNING THAT HER ASH TRAY HAD BEEN CLEANED OUT AND THAT SHE WAS MISSING HER IPOD/RADIO ADAPTER. SO WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE HAD, INDEED, BEEN ROBBED!!!
MY DEAR DEAR IPOD IS GONE, AND I WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER SEE IT AGAIN. AND DO I HAVE MONEY TO BUY A NEW ONE? OF COURSE NOT. BUT THE MISSING IPOD, IS REALLY NOT THE ISSUE, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH ON ITS LAST STRAW ANY HOW. IT WAS THE 3,500 + SONGS I HAD ON MY IPOD THAT MAKES IT SUCH A GREAT LOSS TO ME. MANY OF THOSE SONGS AND ALBUMS CAME FROM FRIENDS OF FRIENDS THAT WAS DUMPED STRAIGHT ON TO MY IPOD. AND OF COURSE I DIDN'T BACK THE MAJORITY OF IT UP.
SO IN CONCLUSION, LOCK YOUR DOORS AND NEVER NEVER LEAVE ANYTHING YOU LOVE AND CHERISH IN YOUR CAR. EVEN IN LOGAN UTAH.

JUST LOVE YOUR EFFING HUSBAND

I'M SITTING AT WORK, A PLACE IN WHICH I AM THE YOUNGEST PERSON BY A GOOD 25 YEARS. WE HAVE ONLY BEEN OPEN FOR FOURTY FIVE MINUTES, AND ALREADY THE OLD LADIES HAVE STARTED BITCHING ABOUT THEIR HUSBANDS!! AND I THINK TO MYSELF, "YA KNOW IF MAYBE YOU WOULD JUST TRY TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR HUSBAND HAS TO SAY OR EVEN IF YOU WOULD JUST TRY TO LOVE THEM, THEN MAYBE YOUR HOME LIFE WOULD NT SUCK SO BAD! AND MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO CRACK "JOKES" ABOUT THE THINGS YOU DO TO NOT BE ALONE WITH THEM, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, YOU WOULD BE HAPPY" FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! I GET SO SICK OF WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO JUST LOOK FOR THE FLAWS AND THE BAD THINGS AND THE STUPID NIT PICKY THINGS IN THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER. THAT IS NOT HOW IT SHOULD BE. AND I THINK WHERE DID THINGS GO SO TERRIBLY WRONG? HOW DID THINGS GET SO BAD THAT YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE ALONE WITH YOUR SPOUSE? THE PERSON YOU HAVE SHARED EVERYTHING WITH FOR NYE ON 30 + YEARS?
BUT I NEED TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE, MY BOSS IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH HIS WIFE AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY HAPPY TOGETHER. AND MY ONE CO WORKER WHO IS MY AGE AND MARRIED LOVES HER HUSBAND AND IS CONSTANTLY SEEING THE GOOD IN HIM, SURE THEY HAVE THEIR DISAGREEMENTS EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE, BUT WHO DOESN'T? I ADMIRE BOTH MY BOSS AND MY CO WORKER, FOR MAKING IT WORK FOR THEM. WOOT GO TEAM!!!
I WISH THAT EVERYONE WHO FOUND LOVE, COULD KEEP IT. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAPPEN AND PEOPLE FALL OUT OF LOVE, AND THAT PEOPLE HURT EACH OTHER. I WISH THAT LOVE WAS NOT AS FLEETING AS IT IS SOMETIMES.
