Just Bethany :)

It started out like any other day.  I woke up a little late, and headed to work.  I had to go on an order about 30 - 40 minutes away, and I had decided to make a day out of it, and just relax on my way home.  After I dropped the order off, I picked up some lunch at Chipotle, and then stopped at the pet store to get my little turtle some feeder fish as a special treat.  As I was checking out of the pet store, fish in hand, I received a phone call, it was my mom she had run out of gas.  I told her I was on my way, but it would be a while.  I drove home and ran into some traffic, so I called my friends little sister, and had her go ahead and get the gas for me.  I met her and got the gas and then went to rescue my mom.  We had a bit of trouble getting the cap off, but finally got it open and gave her car a drink.

I thought yes, I can go home and relax.  I hopped in my car, to follow my mom to the gas station, but, as I sat in my car, waiting for my mom to go, I noticed she wasn’t moving.  Then, another phone call, it was her, “It won’t start.”  I tried to stay happy, I mean, she just needs a jump right?  Then, we both realized neither of us had jumper cables.  We phoned AAA and anxiously waited in the air conditioning of my car, and munched on my Chipotle.  Luckily, Chris, the AAA guy, came very quickly and we thought we would be out of there in no time.  That wasn’t the case.  The car wouldn’t take the jump, so we had to get a tow, luckily, I have the AAA Gold membership, that allows for an up to 100 miles tow.  We waited close to an hour and a half for a tow truck, and he finally came.

That was it I thought.  It couldn’t get much worse.  We picked up and headed for the car dealership.  Mom held the fish, as we made our way to the dealership.  We dropped off the car, and headed back to the car.  I had put the fish in the passenger seat, because it was in the shade.  When mom opened the car door, I said “Mom, watch the fish.”  I guess she didn’t hear me because she got hopped in the car and I hear a *POP* and the look of death came on my face and I said, “OH NO!!”  Mom quickly got up, and we looked at the fish, they were all there and all alive, but their oxygen was gone.   I ran to the nearest gas station, and grabbed a cup and dumped the fishies in there.

Mom and I stopped at McDonalds for a snack, and then went to the bank, and were able to make it home.  This entire adventure took about FIVE hours…and while may not seem like a lot, it was a crazy day, and one I do not want to live again.

I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I am of Michael Phelps.  I don’t know him, I’ve only seen him on television, and I hadn’t heard of him until this Olympics.  He stole my heart, along with the rest of the USA.  Phelps did it last night, he made us proud, with the help from Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hanson, and Jason Lezak, they all did their job, and gave Michael Phelps a chance to break the record.  It was a great moment for the USA, for Phelps, and for anyone watching the Olympics.  Phelps had tears in his eyes when he received the medal.  Way to go boys, we are so proud of you!!

Like most of you I have been spending a ton of time watching the Olympics.  I have spent most of my time watching swimming.  And, well there are pretty much three reasons why…here they are:

The GORGEOUS Ryan Lochte.

The laid back Aaron Peirsol.

And, the human fish, Michael Phelps.

I have never really cared much for the summer Olympics up until this year.  But, These guys have drawn me in.  I spend all my time in the evenings hooked to the television because of these men.  These Olympics have made me so proud to be from the USA…although I won’t lie, I have been cheering for Canada as well.  *They won their medals last night*

Ryan Lochte pulls you in with his personality.  He is definitely a hottie you should know…and perhaps you need another reason to love him…he wore a GRILL to get his medal!!  No, seriously, he did!!

Anyway, I am anxiously waiting to see Michael Phelps win his 8th GOLD MEDAL!!  I will post more tomorrow!!
