Always an Adventure at Wally-World


It seems like every time my friends and I go to Wal-mart it is always an adventure. Something always happens to one of us and its usually either me or Bre. (lol) Last night (9/22/09) we went to Wal-mart to get some odds and ends and funny things kept happening.

First off, I'm one of the most awkward people I know. Not around people I know of course but around new people especially boys I just can't seem to act normal. Well I think I'm rubbing off on Paige in a way. Lindsee forgot her wallet at home and asked if one of us could pay for her. I had already checked out and the cashier had already scanned all of Lindsee's stuff. Paige volunteered to pay for Lindsee's stuff as long as she would pay her back when we got home. The cashier was just staring at us funny and I couldn't figure out why. Paige couldn't either so she got on her phone and started txting someone and then after about 30 seconds (which seemed like forever) Lindsee noticed that the cashier was waiting for someone to pay for the stuff. Lindsee told Paige the cashier was waiting and Paige went bright red. It might not seem that funny to you if you weren't there. But if you know Paige it was pretty funny. She actually went as red as I do (maybe even a little worse- I blame it on the Rosacea).


As we were walking out to the car reminiscing about all the funny things that had happened that night the girls started loading everything in the trunk of Bre's 2001 Dodge Neon (much like the one above). I of course wasn't helping because I was still distraught over what had happened with me earlier but we don't need to talk about that. Anyway, Bre has her keys on a lanyard (the kind we all used to have in middle school with our lunch cards on the end) the lanyard has a clip(exactly like the black clip on this lanyard) so that you can snap your keys off if you need to. Well as Bre was shutting her trunk she got the lanyard stuck 1/2 in 1/2 out of the trunk. So when I saw her freaking out I'm thinking "What the heck its just stuck you can pull it out!" so I run over and yank on the lanyard and hear the snap break. Bre screamed, "Ashlee no!!" When I pulled it out I was all "dude it didn't break, we are golden!" When I look at the lanyard I realize that the keys aren't on that side. Meaning they must be stuck... IN THE TRUNK.

Right before we had gotten out of the car I told everyone to lock their doors (cuz the car isn't automatic lock). Luckily Lindsee didn't listen to this because her door was the only one that wasn't locked. Bre was panicking and I was all, "Bre calm down we can just pop the trunk!" Well apparently in Dodge Neons they don't have a 'trunk pop button'. Weird right? So Bre pushes a button on the back seat to get into the trunk. When they get the seat down the trunk is cram packed with junk! About 5 minutes later we hear Bre say OOH I GOT THEM. It was hilarious. I couldn't believe that she shut her keys in the trunk. That kind of thing will only ever happen to Bre.

I love my friends. They mean the world to me. We have had so much fun being together and for the past month they have been there for me every day. I love them and can't wait to blog about many more adventures we will have together.

Camping and such.

Sheesh, it has been so long since I've blogged that I don't even know what to write about. I feel like lately my life has been semi boring, and I can't remember any of the super funny things that have happened. I will try to catch you up on some stuff that I've been doing lately though.
For the past month or so Lindsee and I have been watching the OC. I LOVE THAT SHOW. Its the best, I think I live my life vicariously through all the characters. Anyway, I watched at least 3 episodes a day. I finally got done with the third season a week ago and I hardly watched the 4th season because it sucked. I really was so sad with how it ended. Marissa was great. I have an obsession with 'tv box sets'. I own all of the Friends seasons (which is by far the best tv show ever) and then some random ones. I went to Borders the other day and bought 2 seasons of Desperate Housewives because I had a coupon. Haha my mother was mad at me for 'wasting my money'.

Well moving on with my monthly events. Bre and I went camping with my parents the other weekend, I had an amazing time (hopefully Bee did too). We went to a camp site right next to the Cub River in Idaho. The camp site was really cool, we were right next to the river. Someone had moved a bunch of rocks in the river so that there was a little 'pool' area where the dogs could get in an swim. Sadie loved running into the water and getting a drink even though it was freezing cold water.
[[Here is a pic of the pool area]]
Chloe got REALLY dirty up there. She was rolling around in the dirty with Sadie slobber on her so we threw her into the water and made her swim back to us. She was freezing, but it was cute :). When I picked her up out of the water she was still swimming, haha poor dog didn't know what had just happened to her. Well after all of the water fun we had dinner and sat around the fire for a while. It was fun to just relax.

[[Here I'm cuddling with Chloe after the river experience]]
While we were setting up camp we had to put the kids in their cages because they were running around wild and my mom was scared that they would run away. Chloe made sure that everyone knew how bad she hated being in her cage. She barked the entire time she was in there. (No wonder I never got her crate trained)
[[Coco and Chloe]]
All in all though I think the dogs had fun. Sadie loved having Chloe and Coco's company. After dinner and relaxing my parents got out their favorite game ever. Rummikub. We played for an hour and then had to put it away because there were too many moths flying about. If you have ever met me and my mom you know how scared we are of moths. I hate those things. We had a lantern out and they were flying everywhere so Dave, my step father, grabbed the biggest one he could and threw it at my mom. She got mad but didn't really do anything about it, a couple minutes after that happened she screamed bloody murder and said she could feel it down her shirt. Haha. She was so upset about them flying around her head that she pulled her hood on and tied it as tight as she could. Here is a picture.....
[[I love my mother haha]]
After the moth incident she wasn't in the best of moods so we all started to get ready to go to bed. Bre pulled out her portable DVD player and puts on Sex and the City. Our camping experience was pretty rough if you couldn't tell. But all in all we had a blast and I wish we could do it again-- but its getting to be too cold outside.
Here are some pictures from the trip though :)


Next blog I'm going to have to write about going to Rexburg to see my Aunts cute baby :)
