NOwaii

My boyfriend, Manuel had just gotten back from a long vacation a week ago. I was supposed to go to Hawaii for a week for a choir trip... the next morning. I had forgotten about it, so I hadn't packed. I also hadn't told Manuel I was leaving! I was in the backseat of my mom's car when I realized this; we were driving down the gravel road just west of my parents' house. I tried to call Manuel right away to tell him, but he didn't answer. I told my mom that I hadn't told him yet, and she said, "ohhhh" in a very disappointed voice. I was devastated, as I hated the idea of leaving him for a week after he'd been gone so long on his own vacation and I missed him like crazy. Plus, I hated not being able to say goodbye, because we were scheduled to leave at 7:25 a.m.

Lofty Views

My mom went up on some boom thing (crane lift?) with me to block me while I change clothes. The first time up, I had time to change my shirt. The second time I changed my pants. She controlled the lift, and it was really cool going way high in the air like that.

Radio Star

I was in Hobby Lobby, there were a lot of people there, and the [man] owner of a local jewelry store (whose annoying commercials are on the radio all the time) was there. They ran his radio spot about his  diamond buying class over the loudspeaker in the store several times while I was there. I approached him and introduced myself. I told him my boyfriend and I want to come look at their ring selection, and maybe take the couples class of diamond buying.
