the only thing worse than not having the 'last word', is not having any 'words'
the only thing worse than eating leftovers, is someone eating your leftovers
the only thing worse than running out of underwear, is finding out your roommate stole your last clean pair. um ew. ehm hygiene. okey grosss
the only thing worse than an infinitely far parking spot, would be forgetting where you parked
the only thing worse than baby pictures, are NAKED baby pictures
the  only thing worse than a relationship via text, is one via snap chat
the only thing worse than one broken leg, is two broken legs
the only thing worse than being bored, is being bored and alone

up.

As I was literally sprinting/power walking up to my car...all I could think was, "oh. good. lord. *lots of panting and heavy breathing*  I wish I had the UP band right now I am burning so many calories!" anyways I got to Best Buy at 9:01....

Luckily with the help of my sweating face and frantic feminist charms, I was able to persuade them to let me inside

"OH PLEASE LET ME BUY SOMETHING"
"Ma'am I'm sorry but we're closed."
"I HAVE TO BUY IT TONIGHT!!!"
"Do you know exactly what you want?"
"Jawbone. Up band. 24. Navy blue, two of them....you know I'm about to spend $300 dollars, you should really let me in..."
...success
(If you don't have one of these you should really check it out, get one, and then you can join my team of good health and of course, AWESOMENESS)
------------------------
After messing around all night packing, watching the usual I Love Lucy reruns, and of course playing with my new toy, I wanted to try out the 'nap' setting on the UP.  I set it for 30 min and for it to start gently waking me up when there was 10 minutes left (because supposedly it was smart enough for that)...2h 32m later...

"EMILY CANNON GET UP!!!!!!"
It was time to leave for the airport.
I don't know why I was so surprised...it takes close to a cold bucket of water to arise me and to count on a little bracelet, that lightly vibrates, to wake me up was extremely foolish on my part.

pops.

and this is why I adore my father...
He is definitely one of a kind. Stay out of this world Dadio.
