Been a pretty slow today. As I noted earlier, Maria went to lunch to Cody and Jesse around 12. Though, as is usually the case, she didn't come back. It's 10:30 now. Although, when she said Cody had to be at work at 3:00 today, leading me to beleive she'd be back before then, I had a feeling that she wouldn't be. Sure enough Jesse IMed me around 3 to let me know she went to the Mall with Cody. I'm going to drive down the street to Chevron in a little while to get something to drink, so I'll probably try to call her then...just to see how her day has gone, and if she knows when she'll be home. I just don't really like going to bed at 3-4 in the morning with her not back yet. She calls me a "baby" when I tell her that. I'd be flattered if she said that to me, lol. But...that's just me. The hopeless romantic =\.

Last night Maria said Cody and Bobbi were coming by today. She didn't say what for...I figured she was just bringing him by to hang out or whatever. I mean, he can't drive anymore, after all. When Jesse and Cody came by to pick her up this morning, Jesse asked me if I was going to be home today, because Bobbi was bringing him to pick up some of his stuff. I told her last night I'd clean up the kitchen and the living room, so I did. I also cleaned our room up a bit as I mentioned earlier, and vacuumed all 3 rooms. I didn't know what time they were coming by, so I went to Wal-Mart for a few things around 4:30 or so. When I got back, they were already here, and had the truck pretty much loaded up with about half of Jesse's stuff. I felt bad I wasn't here to help.

While I was at Wal-Mart I bought Laws of Attraction on DVD for Maria. She wanted to see it really bad when it was in theaters, and I told her we'd go. But I swear, the movie was out for like 2 weeks, max. I never really forgot about it, so when I was glancing through the electronics section and saw it, I figured I'd suprise her with it, as well as a card. I've been getting her alot of cards here lately...cards are nice, lol. I was hoping she'd be home early enough that we could watch it tonight. There's always tomorrow night. Or the next night, lol.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was on Sci-Fi earlier. When she moved in, along with not having seen Star Wars, Maria hadn't seen any of the Indiana Jones movies either. This proved an exciting chance for me, because I (obviously) love the all 3 movies. When Garrett still lived here I borrowed his VHS tapes and had her watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom. He moved out before we ever got to watch The Last Crusade though... Soooo...since I've been waiting for The Last Crusade to come on T.V. again for awhile now, and since she wasn't here for us to watch it together, I fumbled though some blank VHS tapes, scrambled to rewind one in time, and recorded it for us to watch later. Goddamn, I need to get the DVDs...

The Daytona 500 is tomorrow. I'm pretty excited, but aprehensive all at the same time. Dave seemed to have a pretty good car in his Gatorade Duel qualifying race. A good car, that is, until this:







So, Dave has to unload the backup car, and has to start 39th tomorrow. All hope seemed to be lost, until final practice today when he was 8th fastest. In the backup car. And then his crew chief, Phillipe Lopez, updated his column on Dave's site tonight, which seems to indicate the backup car is even better than the primary one. I'm just afraid to get too excited, only to have him caught up in someone else's mess, like in the above pictures on Thursday. I'm going to tape the race incase something good does happen, but if he can just manage a Top 10 I'll be happy.

I have a fever. And the only prescription, is more root beer. Going to the gas station...
