from great to shit..

bula!
so this morning i got up at about 11 and decided to go shopping with lucinda, another australian au pair from a  different au pair group.
so we went to this huge shoe shop first, didn't get anything.
then to marshells, which i ahve told you about before. its where i got my gym clothes from. and everything is dramatically reduced all the time.
so i got this grey shirt with a cream silk park at the top that goes around the back of your neck and tires at the side at the top. hard to explain but really nice on.
a see through lace shirt to wear over a white singlet, and a navy blue dress with some detailing at the top, which i brought especially to match the kids when they have their christmas card photos taken at the beach when we go on vacation. (the kids are wearing navy, so now we can all match! cute!)
then we went to old navy, nothing new, didn't buy anything.
stopped at applebees to have lunch. had a steak with veges and mashed potato, which was soooooo nice, and only $12 :)
then we went to kohls, where i finally worked out which bra size i am here, and so i brought a new bra.
then after all the shopping we went to hartford for the riverfest, with lots of different foods and things to look at, and then at nine there was a huge fireworks display.
so we get there at five, wait four hours just sitting on grass, which was itching my legs, had to buy food and stuff, and then the fire works were great and all, but it so wasn't worth it. there was about a billion people there, so trying to leave was impossible. took us about half an hour to get back to the car (took us five minutes to get from the car to it in the first place). THEN  we got lost. and lost. and lost. and lost. and lost. and after an hour of driving all over the highway we ended up right where we began.
and so the policeman who was at the traffic lights helped us, but then my window got stuck down (its electronic) and so i froze to death all the way home. and i still can't get it back up, so if your reading this and you ahve any idea how to fix it, PLEASE facebook me and tell me how, i beg you.
then we are driving through the ghetto, literally, gangs everywhere, WITH MY WINDOW DOWN! i was so scared. so i finally got to lucindas house, dropped her home, and now i am home, praying that it doesn't rain tonight because the car is on the driveway with the window down, not good.
and its too late to call karen and ask what to do.
now i need to sleep. because it has been a very stressful night.
oh and last night i skyped with aunty elana, which i forgot to mention. but it was great, and she was on her iphone, which was super cool.
okay.. off to bed i go.
moce!
