Mother Nature... what a jerk.

So, remember that part of my life when I was saying, "Oh, I can't wait to leave Riverside! I'm so excited to be done with that place!!"...?

Yeah... I worked there three nights last week, lol! Thursday I went in as a tech backstage for one of the guys who was on a trip... Friday, I worked the Micheal Hoover concert (he's an Elvis impersonator. Hilarious)... Saturday I ran lights for the show... Not only that, but the Saturday girl called in (at 3:45pm on friday) to say she had a family emergency (her third one in the 6 weeks she's been working here) so I went into work at the apt complex for a few hours Saturday...

The good thing is that all three nights I had waiting shifts, so I made some good money this weekend. Too bad I spent it all on shoes.

Kidding! Really, I put it in my savings like a good girl.

So much for my "free" weekends!

The weather has been horrible here the past few days, too. I don't know if you've been watching the news, but we had a few tornado touchdowns last Wednesday night. One of them hit the house of a good friend of mine. Luckily, she and her 2 brothers were on a road trip at the time. Her parents, who were home, hunkered down in the basement during the storm. The tornado took out two walls of their second story, where all the bedrooms are (were). Most of the family's clothes were sucked out into the storm, but luckily, the kids took their favorite clothes on the trip and insurance will cover everything.

Unfortunately, the house can't be saved. They have to move out. The roof shifted during the storm, which shifted the load bearing walls throughout the house and they are now forced to move.



We've gotten like 8 inches of rain since Wednesday, and it's still coming down... yikes. Lucky me, I still had to go to work today. Bummer.

Oh well, the day is almost over!!

Yay!!
