Hit and Run

Well I've had a stressful past 2 days. As I was heading to my grandparents house yesterday, I stopped off at the post office to mail out a book someone bought from me on half.com. As I'm walking out of the post office a woman informs me that someone just hit my car as they were leaving the parking lot and then continued on like nothing happened. Luckily this lady and another lady saw it, got the licence plate number, and left me their names and numbers as witnesses. So I then phoned the Haymarket police- since I was practically across the street from the Haymarket police station and at the Haymarket post office. They proceeded to tell me that I was actually not in their jurisdiction and I needed to call the Prince William Police Department! ahhhh!! So I called them and after about 20 minutes of them not finding the address of where I was and trying to figure out how to give directions to the officer for where I was they said "sit tight and we'll get someone out there soon." So there I waited for over two hours until the officer finally came. I called them after about an hour and a half and they told me it was Friday afternoon and nice outside so they were very busy. At this point I am missing the back break light of my car so I probably couldn't drive it up to my grandparents at night (which it would be by the time I figured I would finally be able to do anything). So I give the officer all the info and he tells me that he's going to go to this person's house and can either get them to give me an exchange of insurance and leave it at that or I can press charges. I told him I just want them to pay for it to get fixed so I'm not going to press charges if they do that. So he says I can go home and he'll come to my house after he goes to theirs. Well after being home for about 45 minutes he calls and says he got their insurance info and he got mine and said that he would bring the form over later that evening. So it is now over 24 hours later and he still hasn't brought that stuff over! We called our insurance company and basically there's not too much we can do until we get the other people's insurance info, so I guess I'll call the officer tomorrow or Monday if we still don't have it. All of this is so annoying, and this person who hit my car has ruined my entire weekend!

(luckily I carry my camera everywhere now because of this blog!! I took a bunch of pictures while I was waiting for the police to come. There is more damage on the bumper but this picture didn't have my licence plate number in it because I obviously don't want everyone stalking me!)

Anyways, before I left and all this happened I tried the Buitoni Mushroom Agnolotti. It was delicious! I topped it with pesto like I did with the other kind. These were both really good and I don't think I could pick a favorite. I think next time I would buy both kinds again and mix them together so you could have a bite with both the mushroomy goodness and the creamy cheesy goodness!


Since we were stuck at the house after I got home we ordered Chinese food since we couldn't go out to eat and had no food in the house. We ordered from Asian Garden which actually has Chinese and Japanese food which means they have sushi! And their sushi is actually pretty good (although it definitely doesn't compare to Akida or Mai Sushi in Richmond). I got a philly roll and a shrimp tempura roll along with some miso soup and shared some of the crab ragoons that the whole family got.

Yummmm, nothing beats the unhealthiness of fried crab ragoons hahaha. I deserved to be unhealthy after my stressful day and continued it later with some Edy's Yogurt Blends. I had a huge bowl of the Carmel Praline Crunch and loved every bite of it. I had bought the berry granola flavor before but it was once when I was at home for the weekend and only had a very small amount before I left to go back to Richmond. It was really good but this was even better. It had swirls of carmel and lots of crunchy praline pecans. I was very impressed! I would definitely buy this again.
After my ice cream I spent the rest of the night studying for my VRA's and went to bed early. In the morning I ate a Blueberry Crisp Clif bar. I saw this at Giant and had never seen this flavor before (I feel like every store I go to has different flavor of Clif bars). I was really impressed, and this might be my favorite Clif bar flavor yet. It was full of blueberries and it was super delicious.
I left really early because I didn't know how long it would take to get there from my house. I ended up getting to the school at about 11:45 and we were suppose to check in at 12:30. So I sat in the car and studied some more and ate a sandwich that I had packed yesterday to take to my grandma's haha. It was hummus, spinach, shitake mushrooms, and smoked cheddar. I really wasn't hungry but knew they might not let us leave when we finished and I very well could be stuck in that building until 5 o'clock because it is a 4 hour test!
The test was okay, there were a few questions that I straight out knew the answer to but there were more that I wasn't sure about. There were so many questions that the answers listed all or most were possible solutions and you had to pick the best one. Ahhh it was so stressful, I hate tricky questions like that! Luckily they let us leave when we finished so I didn't have to stay around forever! It took me exactly 2 hours ( I'm so glad I didn't have to sit there for 2 more). When I drove in I saw a Sonic so I promptly drove there for a strawberry limeade and also got onion rings. (it has been a fried onion rings and fried ragoons kind of weekend!)

When I got home I laid around and watched some tv to celebrate it actually being summer now that these VRA's are out of the way. I was watching Keeping Up with the Kardashian's and they rented a monkey for their mom!!?!? How cool/ weird is that! I have never heard of that and I really want to know where they rented it from and how much it cost. Basically you get the monkey for a week and a trainer comes by to bring you the monkey and teach you how to take care of it, and then they leave you and the monkey alone for a week! It was ridiculous, who thinks of these things haha!

For dinner my mom made BLT's, haha I know the unhealthiness continues, it has seriously been that kind of weekend, hopefully tomorrow will be better! My BLT also had a C with some smoked cheddar. And on the side was some pineapple and watermelon.
After dinner I worked on my room some more. I think I have most of my school stuff out of boxes and it has filled up an entire bookshelf. One shelf of "classroom library" books (actually its two books deep on half the shelf). One shelf is all my resource notebooks from various classes. And the last shelf is books, spirals, and other various school related things. I feel like I accomplished something with getting all that stuff put away but I still don't even know where to begin on the other parts of my week. Hopefully I can finish it this week, especially since I probably won't have a car at some point this week while it gets fixed! Oh and to add to that my brother's car got a flat tire a couple days ago so it is running on the spare until we can get it in for a new tire. I'm just waiting for my parents and sister's cars to break too! But during the week its just my brother and I while everyone else is at school/ work, and neither one of us have cars- wonderful!! Actually my break light is tapped up so I'm still driving it around until it needs to go in to get fixed hahaha.

Final stretch!

I am back in Richmond for the final stretch of school! I also just realized my last final ever is on cinco de mayo!!! hahahaha So dinner last night my mom made this baked pasta thing with ham and peppers and mushrooms. I really didn't like it all that much, I'm definitely not a red and green pepper fan.
I had a little bit- Ipicked out the peppers from mine and then had some zucchinni, squash, and mushrooms on the side!
We also had some old foccaccia bread that i made a while back and had been in the freezer, but it was still slightly frozen when we started eating so we had it as a second course haah.
After dinner we went to get ice cream! We drove by Pickle Bobs which is a soft serve place in Haymarket and they had a huge long line. So we drove to this other place in New Baltimore that I had never been to but they had one of the longest ice cream lines ever- I'm talking like obx 4th of july weekend put put golf line long! It was ridicuouls. So we ended up going to Maggie Moos- which was probably the best idea! I got dark chocolate ice cream with strawberries and almonds. yummm it was delicious! I forgot my camera and my cell phone (ahhhhh) so I took a picture on my sisters cell and e-mailed it to myself but apparently it didn't work because I never got it! Oh well I'll just have to go back again and get some more ice cream just so I can take a picture for you guys!

Then this morning was church and I had some cranberry orange bread wtih almond butter in the car on the way there.
And then after church I made myself another yummy sandwich with the last tomato, last of the sprouts, munster, cheddar, some green onions, and slathered on the hummus!!
And then on the side I had some chocolate bunnies! These were yummy too- bunny butts never dissapoint! Although there are no bunny butts on these bags so I don't know if these still can be considered bunny butts or if its just the mac and cheese! I'll have to consult my sister!!!
Then I called the Dell people because my power adapter for my less than 4 month old computer stopped working again. My computer is still under warrenty so I was hoping that they would just send me a new one. Well after the guy trying a couple things he agreed that I need a new one and he was like I have to wait for my manager to approve it and while he's waiting for his manager he is trying to make small talk. He was like so what time is it there- I was like umm its about 3. He was like in the afternoon? And I said yeah. Then he said its 1 am here- hahhaha everyone always jokes about the people in India fixing your computer but its totally true!! Then he proceeded to tell me how he doesn't get off work until 5:30 or 6 am and it really sucks lol. It was pretty hilarious! So after getting off the phone with him I was already to leave until I remembered that I had bought this Edy's froyo at the store! We were going to eat it last night but then we ended up going to Maggie Moos instead!

Ummmm this was so amazing!!! I should have brought it back to Richmond with me because my dad is probably the only person back home that will eat it because this is not the kind of ice cream my sister and mom would eat. But it was so yummy I would definitly but this again!

Then I headed back to Richmond. When I got there I made a Wild Mushroom and Black Truffle flatbread pizza thingy from Trader Joes.

It was huge so I cut it in half and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow! This was pretty good but not as good as I imagined it to be. I think that everytime I eat any kind of thing like this I just compare it to the tuscan mushroom pizza from z pizza which is probably one of my favorite pizza's ever! But that being said I would but it again and then jazz it up with some onions and tomatos and stuff. I actually put some asiago cheese on it- it didn't come with the little squares of asiago on it hahaha. So after eating that I was still a little hungry so I ate my last apple with some almond butter (ahhh I'm almost out of almond butter!)
So now I'm sitting with my laptop plugged in because it won't charge- well sometiems it charges if the cord is sitting just right but most of the time it says it is plugged in but not charging it is just using the outlet power! And I 'm watching Extreme Home makeover while I wait for Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters to come on! I use to watch Extreme Home Makeover all the time but I haven't watched it for a while because I miss my sunday shows a lot and watch them online or I am doing homework up until Desperate Housewives. However tonight I don't have too much stuff to do- I did most of it this weekend! But this is probably one of the saddest ones I've ever watched. This family lost their house in a fire. They moved in with some family and were starting to get back on their feet. The dad took the kids to a lake and swam out with the youngst daughter on his shoulder. All of a sudden the girl starts screaming and they are both sinking. The oldest son swims out and pushes the girl back to shore and then tries to rescue the dad who is drowning, but in doing so ends up drowning too. So this family lost their house and finally started recovering then lost their father and oldest son in the same day. It is so sad and it makes me realize how blessed I am to have a house and all of my family!

So I hope you guys all have a good Sunday evening and a good Monday morning tomorrow! (If it is possible to have a good Monday morning!)
