The first one I chose to do is "Photo-an-hour". Basically you take one picture every hour for a day, then put all of them in a post with little descriptions for each one. Taking a photo an hour takes a shitload of work and requires remembering to take a photo an hour, so instead I decided to just take a bunch of pictures of stuff today.
NOTE: I should have done this yesterday because today was shockingly boring. Yesterday it snowed, I broke the window on my dad's jeep, it was a hot mess. But my phone was also pretty much dead all day yesterday because I also broke my phone charger, so that's just how the world works. Anyway, here we go. This post is super image heavy because DUH.
7:30 am. I was supposed to wake up at 7, but whatever. I am an unstoppable hurricane of fabulous, and I am ready to take on the day. (Sidenote: Unstoppable hurricane of fabulous is my new favorite phrase and I am 100% going to use it so much everyone will be annoyed. Just letting you know).
On my way to work. I was supposed to leave at 8:45 am (to be at work at 9) but I forgot to take into account that I would need to scrape ice off my windshield because its cold as balls. So this picture was taken at 8:53 when I realized that I was 1. Definitely going to be late for work because I still needed to stop at Sturgis Coffee Company to get breakfast and 2. I forgot to bring my dollar to donate to United Way to wear jeans at work, so I was going to have to spend the day dodging Ranae in the front office.
I got to work at 9:02 am and then realized that I put my muffin on top of my car to open the door at the coffee shop, and then DROVE AWAY WITH MY MUFFIN STILL ON TOP OF THE CAR. So instead of a super delicious apple cinnamon pecan muffin with hot chocolate that I was super duper excited to eat, I was late for work and had to eat chocolate chip cookies and a milky way bar with hot chocolate for breakfast. Probably karma for not donating my United Way dollar. Not an ideal way to start off the morning. Also, my socks aren't even close to matching.
About to get my office work on. (9:45? 10? Who knows?) In case you can't see it, there's a bag of more cookies by the keyboard. The Chips Ahoy cookies were less than awesome, so I had to go and get a different kind of cookies from the vending machine. So that was a bummer. But whatever. Also, this scanner is going to give me an ulcer.
11:00 am. I begin to have some technology issues with the scanner. The scanner is the diva of my office. It will work for a little bit, then be like "LOL JUST KIDDING" and it'll lose connection with the computer or decide not to suck anymore paper in. The computer is totes in on it. I'm being ganged up on in my own office. Its not cool. The bottom picture is a note I taped to the scanner to remind myself to take a deep breath and not bash the scanner to death with the golf clubs that are in my office for some reason. We're sort of in an abusive relationship.
I'm sort of obsessed with these two songs and these boots that I bought at Charlotte Rousse (?! I'm too lazy to look up the spelling) for $15. I have no idea what time I took these, I was too busy dealing with/trying to avoid my scanning problems.
Hooray! I fixed the scanner. Just in time to get kicked out of my office by the sales people. Its the biggest office in the building (I'm sort of a baller, its not a big deal) so they use it for sales meetings. Because literally all I'm doing is scanning. So I went on an adventure. This was at 11:30 am.
First I went upstairs to the attic area. I realized that I still have a fuck load of boxes to scan, which made me sad. So I went and hung out with the guys in the parts department until the sales people were done with their meeting. I didn't take any pictures of the parts guys because that would have been creepy. But we decided that I should become a karate fighting flight attendant who does stand up comedy and scanning on the side. Yay future plans!
I had Subway for lunch with my grandpa at 1:30 pm. It was fun times. My grandparents were in New Orleans for the last week (they were straight up stranded for THREE DAYS because of the snowpocalypse. They were excited to be back, I was excited for them to be back, its all very exciting. Also my grandpa owns the dealership where I work).
I scanned my sweet little heart out until 5 pm. Then I got to drive home. It would appear as though I need to wash my windshield. So that's embarrassing. Also I learned that I suck at taking pictures while driving. So that was a fun lesson in safety.
HOLY SHIT THIS IS EXHAUSTING AND I STILL HAVE MORE PICTURES. I AM SORT OF REGRETTING MY DECISION TO DO THIS, BUT I'M ALREADY COMMITTED GOD DAMMIT. LET'S KEEP GOING.
I had to stop by Walmart to get a phone charger. This picture is deceiving because it was only 5:30 pm and it was definitely not this dark. *OH! Fun Walmart story. I think I've been traumatized by all of my encounters with homeless people in Hawaii. This tiny lady came around a truck in the parking lot wearing a surgical mask with a shopping cart full of stuff. She got close to me and I freaked out. I went into full-on "dodge the crazies" mode and my whole body did this weird spasm thing as I jumped out of the way. She looked at me like I was a nut and then got into her truck and left. But she was the one wearing the mask, so really she was the weirdo. Not me.*
I have an incredibly passionate hatred for avocados. I had to buy some for my dad and I had a really hard time touching them. It was embarrassing and I might need to think about accepting avocados as a part of the universe. Also, there was camo Chapstick. Because South Dakota. Because Chapstick isn't already hard enough to find. Because AMERICA.
Along with the avocados, I also got this sweet pink phone charger. Because why buy something boring when you can get it in neon colors?! Also I got some hair dye. So that's tomorrow's adventure. Baby girl's gonna have dark brown hair. And a sweet pink phone charger.

OOOOH. I got the favorite kid award because I got these for my dad and his wife. The super talented lady behind this Etsy shop made these. I went to high school with her, they're super cute. If you have a baby in your life, you should definitely hit up her shop. Everything is handmade and they are adorable. I can't even handle it. Plus, she got them to me three days after I asked if she would make them for me. What?! That is insane. On the tag it says they're made with love and they have the cutest little heart sewn into the inside. SUPER CUTE GO BUY THINGS. (I realize that this is a picture from her shop. But these are the ones that she made for me. They're just upstairs and I am downstairs).
So I thought the muffin incident was going to be the most depressing part of my day, but I was so so so wrong. A couple of weeks ago my grandpa in California found out that he has a tumor in his spine. He underwent radiation, and he was initially responding really well to it. The tumor was all "later skater". Well it turns out that asshole of a tumor came back with a fucking vengeance and he woke up yesterday and his legs basically didn't work. So that's not good. Really not good. Yeah……..I don't know. I'm bad at emotions. Send good thoughts or vibrations or something.
I'm watching "Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23" to make me feel better (another side note: This is a criminally underrated show. It is absolutely hilarious, but ABC played the episodes out of order and then canceled it. My heart is still sort of broken, but at least the episodes that were made are on Netflix.) Anyway, I took this picture with my phone and it is truly terrifying. I promise that's not what her face actually looks like. But I'm sad about my grandpa and this picture makes me giggle.
SO THERE YOU GO. THAT WAS MY DAY. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO WATCH DON'T TRUST THE B---- TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER BECAUSE IT WAS SORT OF A CLUSTERFUCK. I'M NOT TAKING ANYMORE PICTURES BECAUSE THIS BLOG IS ALREADY WAY TOO LONG.
