So I didn't do anything for Memorial Day Weekend, which was okay because I like laying around and it was a nice weekend to do that.
On Tuesday I drove to a little town right outside Augusta, even though my car was acting funny, to work at a Charity Golf Tournament that donates part of its proceeds to us. My boss and I were stationed at one of the holes to "run" the hole in one contest. He sat at the tee and I sat in a chair down by the green just to watch and see if any of the 160 golfers made a hole in one. No one did. I was glad that I brought a book to read because that would have been the most boring 5 hours of my life. It also started raining about halfway through, so that was kind of miserable, but oh well. It was nice not sitting in an office all day. I also got to "meet", as in he walked by me, Olympic Gold Medalist Snowboarder Seth Wescott.
After the tournament was over they had a lunch and my boss told me I was free to leave, since I was planning on venturing into Augusta and going to Target. Melisa got me a Target gift card as a going away present and I was determined to buy Alice in Wonderland since it came out Tuesday and this Target was the closest one (over an hour) to where I live. When I got out to the parking lot I found that someone decided to park beside me, essentially blocking me in. So I got in and waited...and waited...and waited. The guy finally came and got in his car and proceeded to talk on his phone for another 20 minutes or so while I was sitting there with my car on, ready to go. He eventually left and I waited a few minutes, getting everything situated so I could go. Right before I pulled out, a few of the golf course employees lined up the golf carts behind me as well. It left me barely no room to pull out, I literally felt like Austin Powers with his little cart trying to get out of this parking spot. Once I got out, narrowly missing taking out a few golf carts (I refused to be trapped there any longer) I started typing the Target address into Fran, my GPS, and was surprised to find that the street it was on was not listed. So I had to backtrack and find a street that my GPS recognized and would just have to go old fashioned directions from that point. The Target was a little hard to find but I eventually found it and got my DVD. I was a little worried about my car on the way back, considering my Service Engine Soon light was flashing at me and my coolant had been acting weird. I told my dad, who assured me it'd be fine as I was leaving Target, that it was his fault if I ended up stranded alongside the road of a deserted highway. I made it home fine and he called to make sure about five hours later. Good thing I hadn't been stranded. It was all worth it though for my Johnny : )
