the world is full of unexpected twists and turns and just when you got the lay of the land...

The ground underneath you shifts and knocks you off your feet. if you are lucky you end up with nothing more than a flesh wound. something a band will cover.

at work the other day i was informed that our banquet chef's (doucher numero uno at work) bro got into a serious car accident and hit a telephone pole right down from the hotel (no one knows if alcohol was a factor or not) . Chef couldnt go on his vacation to va beach because he wanted to be there for his brother obviously. his brother was almost on his death bed but is pulling out of it strong but with brain dead.

it gave me chills when i heard this. its crazy how i can walk away from my accident with just the smallest bone in my face broken and some people dont walk away from their accident at all or are threatened with brain damage for the rest of their lives. How does the universe choose or pick when it's someone's time to go or not? how am i better than him?? i am blessed and got another chance to live an extraordinary life and that is what I am going to do with it. God (budha or whomever) wasnt ready for me and i am thankful

yes sometimes even the best of us make rash decisions. decisions we pretty much know we are going to regret the moment after. we put ourselves out there but still something inside us decide to do a crazy thing a thing we know will prob turn around and bite us in the ass (i have gotten bite very hard). yet we do it anyways. -says Meredith on Greys Anatomy.

second day of pitt training camp!!!!!

July 29, 2011- fingerprinting trouble. i go to the Public defender's office to sign up for one and my tax return says i make too much for a public defender. maybe i heard him wrong but to get a public defender you have to make under 10,000!!!! what??? who lives off of that? so he gave me a note to give to the DA to postpone my hearing so i can get proof of income from my unemployment.

then i go and get my fingerprints. no one knew where i should go because they postponed my court date due to my trip to florida but they didnt postpone my fingerprinting. two ladies told me to go to two different WRONG places until i finally talked to a lady that knew where i had to go. of course down the street. the lady that took my convict picture and fingerprints was really nice. first thing out of her mouth, "teena, had too many cocktails may 18?""

"really??" i need the sense of humor though and told her the story i told so many other people. we then start talking about working out (since i took hot yoga that night). she was really nice. made fun of the feather in my hair.

it was a long day. man, do i need a drink???

Aug 4, 2011 i had my first hearing for my DUI. I arrive about 45 min late due to waking up late (not in my own bed), drinking heavily the night before (due to stress and anxiety for the court date and a cute boy sitting right next to me), and traffic. there is so much annoying traffic in this damn town.

after sitting in the traffic court audience waiting for my name to be heard from the DA, a cop calls my name. He asked me if i was ok with doing ARD. yes sir, yes I would!!! After all is said and done we postponed my hearing because the DA and cop said i should get a public defender (and i had my note lol),so i had someone to defend me and when i do move to Florida they can answer my questions.

the funny thing is the DA told me to stop looking so nervous and lighten up. wonder if i still smelled like booze??? crazy last night!!!

the cop that called my name was the cop on the scene. he said my accident gave him chills and hes seen a lot on the night shift of pittsburgh police department. he was happy i am alive.

next hearing sept1!!!!!
