Red Boxers and Rice

My work schedule has been shifted around so now I'm working nights at the restaurant from 4 to 11 pm. Not a big deal.

The only thing...I'm kind of a bum during the day. And I'm loving it.

I basically spent my whole morning sitting around in my bright red boxer shorts (yes, they are mine--bought them at a train station actually. They have a train on the rump and say "cute caboose". It's written on the rump so it must be true) painting, jamming out to some tasty jams on the grooveshark.com account. For fun, I threw on some bright red lipstick and wrapped my hair up in a bandana. Artsy fartsy, I know.

Then I did dishes.

Snuck around the apartment with pepper spray and a pan....convinced there was someone else hiding in one of my roommates' rooms having heard a noise. Red boxer shorts, red lips, a pan, and pepper spray. A fierce combination for sure. I thought my heart was going to bounce out of my chest every time I opened a door to check for intruders/hairy green monsters. I haven't gotten up the courage to check under the beds yet. I'll leave that to the roomie when she comes home. If something grabs her ankles...well....I'll let her borrow my pepper spray. And lipstick. She'll be fiiiiiiiiiine.

I played my guitar for a while. Mastered the C Major scale. If you play, you're probably thinking 'big whoop...that's so easy!' To that thought I reply with 'Yes! And now I know how easy it is!'. So there.

And now I'm making rice for lunch. Trying to save money for school....textbooks are going to cost about 300 this year... Still haven't bought all my groceries yet. I did buy some Lucky Charms and milk though. Can't go without those marshmallow sugary bits of energy to start out the day. Found some beans too! I hear they're a magical fruit.

Today I'm grateful for investing in these red boxer shorts. And for rice and beans. And for not finding any hairy green monsters. Or blue or red or pink or purple ones either. Purple people eaters are the worst.
Cheers to days not spent at work and making the most of them. Eh?

HOLY SHOOT THE POWER JUST FLICKERED ON AND OFF. Totally not paranoid or freaked out at all. No...no no no..not me.....*locks bedroom door* climbs under covers*........
