There are some good people left in the world! :)

Labor Day weekend....ah yes, that really long weekend to finalize everything from the summer and get back to reality. The reality of classes and the school year back in full swing. I stayed here at Simpson for part of Labor Day weekend, but I also made my way back home to Humboldt for a few days too.

I saw "The Nanny Diaries" which was absolutely adorable. Wish I could meet a guy like 'Harvard Hottie.' For all the ladies that have seen the movie, come on you have to agree. I rented the movie "Perfect Stranger," and really enjoyed that. The ending was definitely creative and something I didn't see coming. So for as many bad reviews as it got, just rent it and see for yourself.

Let's see...the rest of my Labor Day weekend was filled with fun things like the Dayton Rodeo and seeing some friends back home. Also, my weekend was filled with minor irritations...

1. While sitting in "The Nanny Diaries" about five kids left the movie theater entirely.
Apparently spending $8 for a movie wasn't enough to keep them in their seats.

2. Turning the radio on to my absolute favorite song, just when it happens to be in the last repeat of the chorus. Don't you hate when that happens?

3. I-80 East being under construction...needless to say I missed my exit. Grrr.

4. People who can't seem to understand that the interstate has two lanes. The left one if designed for drivers traveling at higher speeds, while the right lane is for slower drivers. Some people really should pay attention to such things.

5. As I was driving back to Simpson, my car suddenly starts making a funny noise. Sounded kinda like something dragging on the ground.

With my car (sounding like it was going to fall apart), I pulled off the interstate and onto the shoulder. I call my dad and tell him my car was literally falling apart but I couldn't see what was the matter with it. (Dad's are always great to complain to when something is broken). My parents were just about on the way to help with my car troubles, when an old man pulls up behind me. He pulls up in his old Buick Lesabre and gets out to lend a hand. That's when he points out there was a rusty piece of metal hanging under my car. Luckily he manages to tear off the piece of metal, and my car is miracously fixed! What would we do without kind people in the world watching out for us.

So over this long Labor Day weekend I learned that perhaps not all people are bad...lol. In fact, there still are good citizens watching out for the good of mankind.
