My wild night

Last night was interesting. Should I start with the head injury or the water? I guess I'll just begin at the beginning. Yesterday the RENT movie came to DVD and bff, Meg, and I were all gathering at her house. Meg's b/f was in town from boston and kt hasn't met him yet. the last time I met him, I was quiet and polite, this time he got to see me in action. we went to meg's, watched idol, then put on RENT. I discovered that Meg has a table in her basement similiar to the one in bff's basement that I always stand on. bff said I needed to stand on Meg's table to make everything right in the world. I had a full bottle of mt. dew in me and was working on my second one when I decided that I was going to dance on the table during La Vie Boheme :) Later on I decided to crawl under the table to watch the movie, and miscalculated and smashed my head on something sharp. Probably the corner. So I have a minor head injury. This caused a problem while driving kt home. I hit the curb on the street and she thought i would drive into the lightpost. See, I was temporarily distracted by the police car flashing it's lights up ahead pulling someone else over lol. If Dew ever makes an alcoholic beverage, I'm screwed :D

So I make it home safe and sound, full of head injury and dew, pull the car into the garage and suddenly I hear something as I'm walking out of the garage. Hmm, what is it? Sounds like it's raining...nope, it's not wet out. I swear I'm hearing the sound of rain pounding on the window...window...window...window! I GOT IT!!! *flashback to earlier in the day when I'm looking out the kitchen window and wondering why I can't see out of it as if it were the bathroom window* WATER IS BEING SPRAYED ONTO THE WINDOWS!!! I run up to the hose and it's is blasting. I freak out and due to the dew and the head injury, make a full lap around the house to shut off the water, when I could have easily run 3 feet to turn it off instead. It took 2 full turns on the side knob to get the water to shut off. However, the hose handle itself appears to be locked in the ON position and since it is wet and frozen, I can't do much about it. I survey the damage quickly while panicing that something will blow up. My backyard basically looks like the ice titan from Greek Mythology came and blew on it. I'll be semi amazed if we don't have to replace the Florida room doors and windows in the spring, and mom's roses will never bloom again. There is just ice all over it and lots of huge ice chunks in the lawn. Fearing an impending explosion or damage to the foundation of the house, or complete flooding on the basement and furnace room, I went inside quickly and jumped on Dude at 12:45am :) I felt bad cuz mom and dude were both sleeping so nice lol. Dude woke up and shut the water off in the basement. No damage down there.
So everyone go check your hoses and make sure they are empty and shut off.
Yay for head injuries!!!
