The most frustrating day ever

It felt like i didnt do anything right today. I am so tired and just want the week to be over. I have got one more delivery when I leave and I get the pleasure of telling my customer that I promised I would get the job done that I ran out of vinyl and 10 of his jerseys dont have numbers. I feel like an idiot.

Question

Has anyone ever met a vegan that didnt smoke? Whats up with that? I met four over the weekend and while they were outside smoking, they were trying to tell me what was in the food I ate. Is there a better example of irony? I think not.

Mafia night = The greatest night ever

Last night I was introduced to a little game called Mafia. Apparently everyone had heard of this game and it was common knowledge that it was the greatest game ever they all just waited till I was halfway into my 25th year of my life to inform me about it. Thanks guys.

If you haven’t played the game before quickly invite 10 people over to your house so you can enjoy the arguing and figure pointing.

I would be so sure I knew who the mafia was and then someone would wink at me! What was that? My mind would try to figure out why he would wink? Was he winking at me or at the person next to me? Are they forming an alliance? So you confront them.

Me: Why did you wink?
Him: I didn’t wink?
Me: Yes you did!
Him: No I swear I didn’t!
Me: I saw you. You like right at me or the person behind me and winked in the middle of your sentence.
Him: NO I DIDNT! (Yelling louder)
Me: YES YOU DID! (Rising above everyone’s laughter)
Me: I think you are the mafia!
Him: Well I think you are the mafia!

You see the amazing logic and reasoning behind my arguing? I should be a kindergarten teacher I could argue with the kids all day. "Yaaahuuuu" "Naaaahuuuu". I ended up being wrong and me and him were the last two people alive only to be killed by the most cunning and elusive Amelia. I didn’t even see it coming!

We played for 6 hours. It was pretty amazing. I lost my voice, and all reasoning and logic by the end of the night.

New tight Pants Diet

So apparently I washed my jeans wore them once and then washed them again and now they dont fit. I went from having 5 great pair of jeans to 2 in on month. Last week I ripped the crotch in both of my best jeans. It was very sad. Normally, after I wash my jeans it takes one good wearing to make them "good" again. Once they are broken in I wear them until I get something on them or I feel it is not socially acceptable for me to wear them out anymore because it may or may not have been a month in between washes, I never can remember.

For some reason I did two loads of laundry in one week and for another crazy reason I put these jeans in with both loads! I put them on this morning and could hardly exhale. I wore them anyways because I figured I just needed to stretch them out. Its past lunch time and not only are they still tight but I wasnt even hungry for lunch. That never happens. I blame the pants.

Places I will be after work: Old navy to buy 2 more pair of jeans.
