So anyway I know everyone has their very bad days, and Friday July18th, 2008 was MY VERY BAD DAY. Thursday night I went to see the Dark Knight at midnight. Amanda went with me and we really liked it. Anyway I have decided I don't do midnight movies very well if I have to work the morning shift the next day. I got home early Friday morning about 3:30 am and went right to sleep, and then woke up at 8:00 to get ready for work. I am always a little groggy and grumpy when I wake up (it ususally takes me a few hours to really "wake up") By the time my shift was over I was fully awake. On my way home I was driving down 5th south heading south bound on the freeway entrance. I wanted to get into the left hand lane so I did what every drive should do I checked my blind spot and for a clear opening to move over. As I turned back around I saw myself SLAM into the Back of a Blue Suzuki Reno. I had no time to stop!! I think I was going 20-25mph.(at least I wasn't on the freeway yet going 65mph).
I was in shock. What did I just do?! I honestly sat there with my hands over my face and cried. After I regained some composure I called 911 and had the police come. We were there forever filling out accident reports and talking with the ambulance people. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. I had a stiff neck and back and the girl in the other car was a little sore from her her seatbelt had pulled, and I think her shoulders and back hurt a little too. I am lucky I wore my seatbelt too because I know I would have hit the windshield. So Put your seatbelts ON!!!!!!!!
I ended up getting a ticket for following to close. We will see how much that will cost me and I will update you on that. I am greatful I got some pretty nice cops. I normally don't like cops but these ones were nice and worked really hard to calm me down. One of them made me laugh... She said so did you clean the sink at angies? and I was like "yeah I really did how did you know?" She said I grew up in Logan and I use to eat there a lot." So yeah I just thought it was funny when she asked me if I had really done it.
The update on the car is that it is a total loss. My mom said at least we get more out of it than what I expected. Hey maybe my sisters and I can get laptops now!
Moral of the story: Do not follow too close, and pay closer attention. I was not destracted by my cell phone or the radio. I just didn't look! I feel really stupid about it and I wish car accidents upon NO ONE! so please be patient, slow down and pay attention!

My Grandpa Lambert
So my mom told me that my cousin Aly wanted us to write memories of our Grandpa so she can compile our stories. WELL Aly here is what I remember.. I am sorry if they are not long stories but at least it is something.
I remember going to grandpa's house when we were little for family get togethers. Grandpa would set up his mexican or asian ring toss game in the back yard for us to play with. I remember how much of a handyman Grandpa was, from all the toys he would make for us to play with. I even think he made his own version of a skip-it one time.
Grandpa was also a magician. I remember for one of my birthdays he came and did a magic show for my first-grade class. I was so relieved to have him be there because I had gotten into some trouble before he arrived.
One of my favorite things Grandpa had was his movie library. It was so cool that he had his own coding and checkout system for each movie. If I wanted a movie I would have to write my name on a 3x5 card and the date of when I was checking out the movie.
I will miss my Grandpa but I know he is healthy and happy again.

My First Blog
To all of my friends,
This is my first blog and I really don't have much to write about. Maybe I will tell you about my day! I woke up at almost 11:00 am today. I almost didn't want to wake up because I was dreaming the most wonderful dream ever. I was in PE class where we were playing a great game of capture the flag. This game was super fun and the thrill of trying not to get caught pumped through by entire body. I could almost feel the thrill in real life. Man I wish I could be back in PE Class again; those were the best days ever!
After I woke up I ate 1 egg for breakfast. This is not enough to keep me satisfide but that was all we had at home. About 11:30 or so I played on facebook, then I took a shower to so I could smell nice for work.
I went to work at 3:00 and prepared for the busy night ahead. Man let me tell you how busy we were..... We had 1 rush at like 6:00 of about 50 people. BIG WOOP! it was soooooo slow tonight. So when I got home I got back on Facebook because that is the only thing I do these days!
Which leads us to now. I wanted to see Greg and Chels' blog; which is really cute by the way then I wanted to see Whit's and Russ and then I saw katie and nick's. I notice alot of people I know are on Blogs so I got jealous and wanted to make one too. Mine is kind of a pointless blog because I am not married or interesting but I hope it will be fun to communicate and read what is up with everyone! UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!
