Busy

I've been pretty busy lately. On Monday, Moma and 1 went to the beach with my mom and sister and my sisters boyfriend. it was fun and moma had a good time in the water. the waves were bigger than i had ever seen in Huntington. they were huge and there were tons of surfers. after the beach i went and worked out with my friend and i had a hard time with the weights on my arms. i was sore and tired from the sun at the beach. but i did do 40 minutes of cardio so at least i wasn't a wimp about that. then. that same friend and her husband came over afterwards and we went swimming and had a barbecue. it was a fun night just visiting with our friends. the pool was packed though since it's been so hot here lately. it was a little hard to swim, but it still felt good to just be in there to cool off. Tuesday i went to Disneyland with my cousin and her son. we had a nice time and even though it was so hot, it was still fun. moma just loves the tiki room. it's so fun to see her dance in there. she was shakin her bootie like crazy. later that night, i went out with the sister missionaries to visit a women that is being baptized in a couple of weeks. it was a nice visit. Wednesday, i went with my dad to visit my Nana and papa for my papa's 88th birthday. we went to coco's for lunch because according to my papa, they have the best shrimp in the world. then we went back to their house for cake and ice cream and my aunts came over for that. it was a fun day and moma had fun entertaining everyone. in the evening, i went to mutual so we could finish our skirts that we have been working on but none of the girls remembered to bring their fabric so i left and went to work out. when i went to the gym, there was no parking and i had to go up to the second level of the parking structure. i made me kind of nervous because it was so secluded and dark, but i finally found a parking spot and i got out and started walking to the gym. i noticed that there was a man sitting in the van next to where i had parked and he was drinking. it freaked me out, but i just hoped he wouldn't be there when i got back to my car after my work out. well, after an hour of working out, he was still there and he started talking to me as i was opening my car door. he asked me to help him jump his car and said the battery was dead. i said no and started my car and started backing out of the parking spot. the whole time, he was still trying to get me to help him. as i drove off, he got out of his car and started coming towards mine, but i just drove like a maniac and got out of there. it really freaked me out. first of all, i was thankful that i had been aware enough to pay attention when i first got there to even notice he was in his van and drinking. but if his car really was dead, my question was why couldn't he find any one else to jump it in the hour i was in the gym? i don't think so. the whole thing was fishy to me and you constantly hear about men luring women in that way for evil things. so i called the police department and they took down all the information i could give them about the man and his car and they sent an officer to check it out. i'm not sure what happened next, but it shook me up a bit. i just had a bad feeling about the whole situation so i know i did the right thing. the guy was scary looking, the van was scary looking and the situation was even scarier. the fact that he had been sitting in his car drinking was a huge red flag!! I'm a just so thankful that i paid attention and that i noticed him in the first place. i know there are some things that i could have done differently like maybe noticed he was in his car before i even parked, but i am glad that i did see him when i did and that i was able to contact the police so they could go and check it out.
i had a little bit of a hard time sleeping last night because when something like that happens, you start thinking about the "what if's" and that can drive you crazy.
anyways, today i am going to the eye doctor for a follow up visit from my eye surgery a year ago. i'm a little worried though because i scratched my eye. i think there was some sand in there and when i went to remove my eye make up the other day, i hurt really bad. now, i am seeing a little black dot in the center of my vision. i hope it is nothing and that it can just heal on it's own. but i'm having the doctor take a look at it today. then i think i'm going to lunch with my mom. she is going to take care of moma for me while i'm at the appointment since it's right next to her work. she's just going to show her around to her friends at work while i'm at my appointment. my instructions from my mom were to "dress her in something so she looks cute". she could were a trash bag and look cute as far as i'm concerned!!
