'This Wasn't In Our Plan'...

There's a great song by The Early November called 'This Wasn't In Our Plan'. It's about an unplanned pregnancy and very catchy. Meaningful and catchy in ONE SONG? I know. It's awesome.

Anyway, as I was driving to and from "the shore" this weekend that song came up TWICE on my ipod's shuffle (two different shuffle rounds, obviously).

I think it was foreshadowing events that would transpire in MY OWN LIFE because late yesterday, two impossible things, or rather things that I thought would NEVER happen happened. Life is always full of surprises, isn't it?



The 'This Wasn't In Our Plan' List:

1) I drove through Manhattan. So, I'd kind of promised, myself without realizing it, that I would never drive through Manhattan. I'm not a very good driver (don't tell my mom) and I get distracted easily. Therefore, I figured that it was best for all involved if my bad driving abilities weren't put to the test in NYC aka " [ Insert something clever that I couldn't think of here ] "-ville. But, somehow I wound up on 34th st. driving by Macy's and the BIG H&M (you know the one I'm talking about right? It has so much stuff!) and Penn Station and other REALLY BIG things that attract LARGE Crowds of people.


Somehow, I made it.

2) I killed a bug with my bare feet. So this was especially surprising/funny and I'm still not over it. Basically what happened was this:

Jamie: Something funny that happened this weekend.
Becky: Haha. Something else that happened this weekend, bla bla.
Jamie: Oh really? That was funny and bla bla.
Becky: We're so cool.
Jamie: I'm going to bed.
Becky: Me too.

So, I went to walk down the hall to my room. I didn't think about the fact that I was barefoot. I didn't think about the fact that it was dark. I was feeling good-happy about my weekend at the beach with Julia & Co., buzzed from my lil' convo with Jamie and then...

I STEPPED ON SOMETHING.

Becky: Jamie! I just stepped on something.
Jamie: What was it?
Becky: Oh my god. Oh my god.

Then I ran into my room because, apparently, it's a good idea if you're afraid of something and 22+ to run away to your room/the couch in the livingroom (before when the bug appeared in my room I had run away from it to the livingroom. Yes, this bug has been living in my room for the past TWO weeks. And NO I'm not dirty!). It's really mature and responsible to flee your problems.

Then Jamie turned on the light and...
We discovered that I had STEPPED on the HUGE cockroach that has been hiding in my room.

I drew this picture about the incident:




Becky: Oh my god. Oh my god. I JUST KILLED THAT BUG WITH MY BARE FEET. I JUST TOUCHED THAT HUGE BUG WITH MY BARE FEET. !!!!.

Then Jamie ran into my room and we sang "My Favorite Things" from 'The Sound of Music' because were scared. Just kidding. Hehehe. She really DID run into my room though.


Then Jamie ran to the other end of the hall and covered the bug with a paper towel (not sure how his tactic helped, but it did) and eventually, with no help from me, the bug was flushed down the toilet.
IT WAS CRAZY. And yes, I washed my feet 10102910921092x since the incident, just to make sure they won't rot off.

Final Score:
Becky-1
Dead/Super Lame/Gross/Abnormally Large Cockroach-0

Here are some pictures that Kate thought it would be funny to send me:
