Runaway

The most frightening thing happened to me and my sister last night. We were both sound asleep when out of no where someone started knocking on my door. At first I thought I heard either Jack or Jaycie making noise, but then I heard it again and walked into the living room where Taylor was sleeping on the blow up mattress. I tried to look out the peep hole, but I'm really short and it's hard to see out when it's dark, but I did see someone pacing the hallways outside. Then he knocked again and when I turn away from the door I see a white blur. That way Taylor running for her life for my bedroom, and Jaycie making a fuss that someone was at the door. I was extremely scared and looking for the pepper spray as I say.. "Who is it?" The man on the other side of the door tells me "I've got your cat". I pause for a moment to let my brain catch up with the message and start unlocking my locks and when I open the door, there is my neighbor, with Jack in his arms, and he's like "he's been out here for a while, and I know it's late but I thought you might want him" OMG, OMG, OMG. After I profusely thanked him, and made sure Jack wasn't hurt or anything like that, I started to freak out. I know he likes to go outside, but I don't remember him being outside. So now i'm paranoid to even open the door with him in the room. I feel like a horrible pet owner, but I honestly didn't notice. Jack had been sort of been out of the picture since Taylor had been in town and hiding in cabinets, I just didn't notice that he wasn't walking around when I went to bed. I'm absolutely thankful that despite the fact that it was 2 am and I was scared out of my mind, that my neighbor had the guts to knock on my door. I think I'm going to bake him some cookies or something like that. I'm just really lucky that he knew what Jack looked like and that he brought him home. Geez I'm still in shock!

Fraudulent ID

This morning I went to mail off a package for Janet that was going to China and my camera, because it’s broken and has to be repaired (I’m very bitter about that). When the lady asked me whether I wanted to pay with debit or credit I usually say whichever is easier, but for some reason this time I said Debit. The stamp lady then said she needed to see my ID, which I gladly handed to her and after she looked at it for a few seconds, she looked at me confused and said “The hair is messing me up”. At this time I remember that I just re-dyed my roots so my hair looks especially dark compared to my high school photo on my ID with bleach blonde hair. I had to give her my Driver’s License, Baylor ID, and 2 credit cards in order for her to be convinced that it was me. Good grief. Taylor stood there looking like “oh crap, Jen’s a counterfeit” like she was contemplating what she was going to say after they arrest me for using a fake ID to send a package to China. But she finally accepted it. This isn’t the only place I’ve had problems. A man at Wal-Mart almost didn’t let me buy alcohol, and he was rude about it too. I just don’t want to go get my picture re-taken, 1 because it is expensive to get a new ID, and 2 it expires this year so I’ll get it retaken in a couple of months. It’s about time too. It will have been 6 years. My photo now is the day I turned 18, my senior year in high school. Now I’m a second year graduate student with dark brown hair. I have to admit I look different, but it’s such a pain in the ass. I wish there was some technology where we could just use our finger prints. Because no matter how many times I dye my hair, my fingerprint is indisputable.

Taylor is in Waco! She started her job on Monday and so far so good. She is going to be learning how to give a general tour at the DP museum so if you are in the area you should stop by and let her tell you all about Dr Pepper. We have a good month planned out for us. We are going to be going to movies and doing dinner with some of my friends here in Waco. We are also planning to do some school clothes shopping which is always fun. We get to spend some quality time with Kris later on, and we are both excited about that.

Here are a few photo’s Kris sent me of Izayah. Enjoy!
