Today (actually it started last night) has been strange. I was writing about my brother and I's childhood when I got a text from him. He asked what I was doing, so I told him and he started suggesting things I needed to write down. One such suggestion was of the time we took some guys keys out of the ignition and buried them! I did not recall this, but he even remembered the guys name! He also said we needed to take road trip-he knows where the rock is that we buried the keys under! How funny would it be if they were still there?! Can you imagine, 20 years later, calling this guy saying we found his keys that he "lost" in 1989!? I really want to go see if they're still there!

That happened last night. What also happened last night was me trying to get 2 of my friends together to talk. They both are assuming things about the other and no one has the facts right. They agreed to talk today. I was informed by one of them, that the conversation did not go well, and they are no longer friends. Well, crap. So much for that plan! This is such a stupid thing to lose a friendship over.

During the day, I was using TweetDeck, keeping an eye on both of my accounts plus my facebook, when I noticed that the page wasn't updating. At the bottom of TweetDeck it said: "@replies not refreshing. There is a problem - Don't panic!" That made me laugh. The problem was fixed rather quickly, then the message from TweetDeck said: "Twitter status for account: All Good" I found it very amusing. Also while on TweetDeck, I saw that my sister posted on facebook: "Morning all...I'm off to the old age home today, hope to survive the scary elevator and inquisitive white haired people!" She was going to visit our grandmother who lives in a retirement home. She always complains about the elevator and the 'old people' because they like to stop people and chat.

This is how the rest of the conversation went via facebook:

Me: "You're so dramatic!"
Her: "It's not dramatic, the elevator Really gets stuck ALOT and the old people jump you when you go in with bags! LOL. Today I had no bags but one lady thought I worked there and tried to get me to travel the building with her to find someone's room! I did point her in the right direction but I'm never sure what they are up to so I did not accompany her!"
Me: "LOL! Did you think you were gonna be kidnapped by an old lady?!"
Her: "Ya never know what those crazy old people are doing, they can be VERY entertaining but I didn't feel like being held responsible for someone elses granny today! Our crazy Granny was plenty, she's doing great. Had lunch out and then she was working the gift shop."

Clearly 'crazy' runs in the family! Further proof: My dad thought my mom was missing this morning. Apparently he thought today was Saturday. He looked for my mom inside and out. First he thought she went to the library to walk around the Riparian Preserve (a park and wildlife preserve) or up to the park (there's one at then end of their street). He waited a half hour, then when she didn't return, he looked in her room and noticed her purse was gone. So then he thought she went to the store before her doctor's appt at 9am. Again, she didn't return, so then he started to panic. He actually got in his car and started to go to the library to look for her. On his way there, he wondered why there was so much traffic for a Saturday morning. Then he saw the kids waiting for the bus and realized it was Friday, not Saturday and that my mom was at work. During all this, he had called my mom's cell and left several frantic and increasingly angry messages. Mom said his first message said: 'my wife is missing! Where are you!' Other messages involved him yelling at her for not having her cell phone on. My mom didn't get these messages until she was on her way home from work (she can't have her phone on at work). Now, in a way this is really funny, but it's also kind of scary. My father turned 69 this year and has, for several years now, become increasingly forgetful. We all laughed about today, but my mom and I are worried.

Also on the list of weird today (not that this is a big thing, but) I was going to request a song on my local rock station 98KUPD, and before I had time to tweet my request, they played it!

So that was my day; at least, the interesting parts of my day.
