An Accident Waiting to Happen...

Just a short post to say....
I bought some roller skates today.
The details will come later....but,
I did fall 4 1/2 times. :)
Ha....and you never thought driving down
Schertz Parkway would be entertaining....LOL!

Ex-Sir-Size...

So, for some unknown reason I have taken up....excersize!!! I have gained a couple of unwanted pounds and so I decided spontaniously to start running. Let me explain here that I am AGAINST anything that may make me sweat, hurt, or look stupid....and yet, I took up running. It dawned on me that I live terribly close to Schertz Parkway...so I have been sneaking out the back gate and running up to the Elementry school and back. Its almost become compulsive....and so the rain threw me thru a loop, but I lifted weights instead. (Don't be fooled....it was a 5 pound dumbell!)
Today, while walking along Weiderstein road (its a tad woodsy...in fact sometimes I worry that some rabid deer might come and bite me and leave me for dead!) I realized I have been in a much better mood since starting to work out. I look forward to "me-time" to listen to the Ipod and run...and acomlish little running goals....or walk briskly backwards up the hills to make the people in the cars laugh! Its so nice! :) So---Go run. Its good for you!!

Dancing in the rain...

The inevitable in Texas happened today....it rained. (And last night....and every 10 minutes today....and now...) My usual attire for rainy days is my yellow and blue wellies along with something that might match so that "wa-BANG" people arnt so sad about the rain. I personally look forward to the rain because I get to wear my boots!! So, today was no less, and because I was dressed for the weather, I was nominated by my coworker to catch lunch from Chick-fi-a. Here is a rundown of the events:

I am wearing my boots, my matching slicker, and my not-so-matching orange umbrella and trudge through the swirling rain puddles and out to my car. (It was raining cats and dogs...) I then get to my car and realize some BOZO (me.) parked my car entirely to close to the line, so i could not get into my car with my umbrella without drowning. Heck. So I contemplate, in the road, about walking down to chick-fil-a. (At this point, I think its pretty stinkin funny!) So, I pop my head back into the clinic to announce I will walk because I parked my car to close to another car. Amy throws me the keys to her Pilot. Ha! I then proceed to dance (like a mascot) in the pouring rain whilst singing "Rain Drops Fallin on My head" and Amy nearly pees all over herself. I stopped when I realized she was in MY chair, so I wanted none of that....

So, I walk out to her silver SUV and unlock it and proceed, unsuccessfully, to open the back door. I tugged....and tugged.......and tugged.......until I took a few steps to the side that I was pulling the handle of a "4-Runner" not a "Pilot". This is about when Amy stumbles out in hysterics asking why I am breaking into someone elses car. (and it is STILL raining cats and dogs) Harty-Har-Har-har! After that....

1. I get to the drivethru and cant figure out how to turn down Rascal Flatts in her car. (the knobs were weird!) So then I have to explain to the lady the background music was permanent and I would have to just speak loud and clear.

2. I got to the window, where the lady handed my my lemonade, and I could not find the cup holders. She had stuff all on her console and I couldn't find them, so then I just turned to the lady in the window and explained I couldn't find my cup holders. I'm sure she thought it was insane that I could'nt find cup holders in my own car!!

3. While thanking her I pulled forward and almost killed a man crossing the street. He even half screamed and put his hands in front of his face. :) Hahahaha!! Good thing her brakes work! Ha!

4. Because the cup holders were null and void, I had to put the drinks between my legs and so when I tried to turn the steering wheel would hit the drink and nearly spill it or stop dead. :) Ha!

5. By the time I got back to work it had stopped raining cats and dogs, so nothing eventful there!

Hope you enjoyed my eventful day!!

Director of First Impressions

I'm not sure why I have chosen this as the title of my blog for now. I guess since its the title of my job at the moment I find it quite fitting. Ironically I don't know that anyone can avoid a first impression, its like a first breath....completely unavoidable. (Unless your some kind of recluse, but I'm sure we will get into spiders another day...) So I'm not sure what makes me a "first impressionist." I just thought it would be fun to blog about MY first impressions of things, weather they are embarrassing, hysterical, boring or just plain odd. (You won't be disappointed, if odd is what your looking for! :) ) So, here we go!
