welcome to my life

rode almost all the rides last night at the fair except that one that spins around really fast while you stand up and are held in by nothing but a thin chain and gravity. it's not that i don't trust gravity. i don't trust that the machine won't breakdown while i'm up on top and i'll be stuck dangling by only a thin piece of linked metal.

we rode what i think was called the fire ball, which is this rollercoaster type thing where you sit harnessed in (i usually trust a harness) and go upside down. ash had this wonderful idea of sitting across from me and so we were dangling upside down laughing hysterically at each other with this kid next to her who probably thought we were crazy. we rode the pirate ship thing first and i didn't do too well on it. i had my eyes closed the whole time and i'm sure the little kids across from me thought i was pretty funny. ran into tara by the bump & run cars (which i don't get). reagan has gotten so big and she's just gorgeous. tara moved to a place on hosner and she's currently not working, so i'm planning on getting over there and visiting before i leave and meeting her fiance. it's a bit crazy to think we've been friends for 16 years.

we're dog watching cuddles for my grandma and the little rat whines ALL THE TIME. it's driving me nuts, but she's so old and shakes constantly so it's impossible not to take pity on her. she'll curl up in a ball on my stomach while i'm reading and will calm down. i think i gave her too big of a doggie treat earlier and she nearly choked on it. a future situation of having to tell my grandmother that i played a part in the death of her antique dog made me panic for a second, but she eventually got it down. she follows me everywhere. i want to slip her a zanax, but i don't think that'd fly.

today seems like it could go both ways: either plummet horribly or pleasantly float away. nice to meet you, welcome to my life.
