It's a GREAT Day!
Return of the King Release Day! I am SUCH a geek! I took the morning off to make sure to be at the Best Buy bright and early (ok, 10am) when they opened to get my copy of Return of the King with my free Collector's Edition Lord Of the Rings copy of Entertainment Weekly. I woke up, excited, of course. Jumped out of bed...ok, stumbled lazily out of bed. Staggered to the bathroom and got ready for the day. By now though, I am really excited. It's Return of the King Release Day, after all! I'm dressed in my Return of the King T-Shirt, driving my car with my LOTR PIP liscense plate, eating cotton candy and drinking a Code Red Mountain Dew. Beacuse really, all I need today is sugar and caffeine to make me more on-edge and jumpy. So, garbed in my LOTR gear, I get to Best Buy at 10am on the button, jump out of the car, and non-chalantly walk into the store, while pushing the little old lady out of the way of the DVDs. Ok, I didn't have to push anyone out of the way, but I would have if I'd needed to. I got my DVD, and headed to work with a smile on my face. It's going to be a great day!
It's just a continuation of happiness, because last night, I got to go to Hersheypark for free with Stacey and experience the new Storm Runner roller coaster. My brain is still on the ride. It shoots you off to start at over 70 mph into a straight vertical climb and then immediately into a straight vertical drop, then spins you around for about 20 seconds, all while your brain is still thinking "what the heck just happened there?" and suddenly the ride is over and you're laughing hysterically. It was AWESOME! If you saw the first Shrek, when Donkey and Shrek visit Dulok for the first time and the watch the little greeting thing when Donkey pulls the lever and the song plays and then it takes their picture, and then Donkey says, "Let's do THAT AGAIN!" That's the way you felt getting off of Storm Runner. AWESOME!
Then, more excitement, there was a HazMat call right outside our office today! A "suspicious" package was left in our office complex, and the HazMat team was called out. We got to go outside and watch the guys in suits move the package and test it, plus Stray was walking around in his Orange suit, all in charge and stuff. It was GREAT!
THEN, can life just get any better? We get to go to a picnic tonight! Ann's first summer BBQ of the year! They are so much fun! I'm bringing Applesause. And not just any applesause, CINNAMON Applesauce! Aw, yeah! Good times, people, good times!
