Month of May Mishaps (This is a long drive, but funny)

I.  A sunday afternoon..... My roommates are out of town....With my friend Lindsey... we pull Bernard into the driveway where I always park him and the garage begins to open.  I look around to see if anyone else is there, no one, check my car for a garage opener, I have never had one, peer into the garage and see no one.  So we decide to back away and assess the situation.  Once I'm at the end of the driveway the garage closes.  WEIRD  So I talk Lindsey into going up and pushing the secret button and then running back into the car.  She steps out of the car and the garage immediately opens again, "Lindsey get back in"!!!  But then the garage stops....so its 1/3 open.  I was seriously thinking one of my nerdy friends was hiding with some computer playing tricks on us. We reverse to the end of the driveway again and call the Dahl residence.  My brother-in-law advises me to call the police cause someone could be in there opening the garage, so I did, and boy did they come. 
6 po's showed up.  They too thought we might have interrupted a burglary. (Not robbery cause no one was home, this is why an armed burglary doesn't exist.  Perhaps a tree does not make a sound falling down while no one is around.)  Anywho, they cleared the premisses, and reported, "No one is in there, everything looks fine except for one room upstairs.  The drawers were opened, things were everywhere but there was a computer and cameras untouched so......we figured it was fine."  My head falls forward and Devon replies, "oh don't worry, that's just her room.  And thats the way it is."  Very coy like I throw out, "I JUST got home from Peru." 
     What a weird experience, to walk through someone else's house.  Think of all the funny things one would observe.  Anyways, I might need to change this room of mine.  Its just full of so many fun things its hard to keep clean.   And I keep moving and leaving and returning, what's a girl to do?  I'm thinking bookshelf... yes definitely a bookshelf.
    So me and my friends decide to figure out this magical garage situation.  I get in Bernard, start at the end of the driveway and floor it towards the garage.  And guess what...it opens.  So I reverse and repeat...it closes.   We were amazed, and belly laughing.  Turns out Bernard can open garages.   

II.  Our last day in Peru was to be spent in Lima.  We had many a plans planned.  Well, our early morning flight from Cusco was delayed 6 hours.  Do not fly TACA, both our flights with them were delayed at least 5 hours.  Turns out the plane was broken and they had to fix it 1st.  Eventually we make it to Lima, see the Catacombs, find some lunch,  visit the main plaza, and head to a cool museum, oh wait after an hour of traffic the museum is closed.  So we start heading towards what I was really ecstatic  for,  Circuito Mágico del Agua.  I was sitting contently on our small bus, feet together, scanning the passing scenes,  camera nestled in my lap within its water casing.  I was READY.  Traffic was horrible and it took us 1-2 hours to get there.  We arrived at our destination and it was mayhem.  People everywhere, selling Jonas Brothers T-shirts and things.  Thats right, the Jonas Brothers.  So we make our way to the gate only to find it was closed that evening due to the Jonas Brothers Concert occurring in the stadium across the street.  We were so bummed.  Completely lost our marbles, simply let them fall onto the floor and watched them roll away.  Restless and about to hop on an 8 1/2 hour flight we found a nearby park and ran, and danced, and did handstands and tried some ginny pig, well I didn't eat the ginny pig.   But honestly, the Jonas Brothers, in Lima, on a Monday night....... Dammit Walt.

III.  Warning:  This is horrible.  I can't even believe I'm telling you about it.  But it was one of the mishaps of May............. I threw up in my car while driving.  I was going to work, on the freeway mind you.  Luckily I grabbed a near by towel first, lo siento peedle.  Man o man, that was a first and hopefully a last. multitaskcity

IV.  We ate at a vegetarian restaurant in Cusco.  It gave me a friend to take home.  I drank so much coke trying to kill that little friend.

I know...I probably shouldn't have said that one. But I didn't get it on anything luckily.
