Help me OVBC members

For some reason I had a flashback of a scene from a novel I read some time ago, but I can't remember where it's from. It involves a man, a father, who gets a phone call late at night from a little boy who thinks he's calling a radio station. The man answers the phone and pretends to be from the radio station and tells the boy that he won the contest and his prize is free oranges. The next day the man takes the oranges to the little boys house. I'm a little fuzzy on what happens next, I know that the little boys mom comes home and the man goes into her house and bla bla bla. The man is not a pedophile or anything, he just really wanted to do something nice for someone. Man I really can NOT remember where this came from. I really hope that I'm not making it up completely.

Anybody have any idea what book this is from?

I love these

Yay!

I just picked up my car from the shop! You can't even tell it was ever in an accident, it looks so purdy.

Another year older

Not to sound morose or anything, but I think this is going to probably be the most depressing birthday I've had since my 15th, where I spent almost that whole summer crying by myself in my bedroom. I'm not gonna do that this year, but I feel just as lost and confused. Must be this quarter-life crisis everyone is always going on about. There's no real reason for me to be depressed, I have a decent job, I have a boyfriend who loves me, I have family and friends who love me, but I just feel directionless and joyless. Don't know what I want to do with my life, and I feel like I have to make up my mind soon because I'm getting to that point where it's not OK to just be an aimless 20something.

I've been thinking of going back to school and going for a complete career change. I have been thinking about going to nursing school. I think it would be something that I would be really good at, since I'm really good with people, I'm caring and patient and cool in a crisis. But then I think about the fact that I'm going to have to take math and chemistry and I get a little nervous. I think about the fact that nurses have to see some really depressing shit all the time and I wonder if my tender heart can take it.

I really have a need to help people and I don't feel like the job I'm doing now is what I want to do with the rest of my life. So I don't know...

I wanted to have a little birthday celebration, but to be honest I'm just not in the mood.

Little Jetta Blue

My car is still in the shop, it's been a little over 2 weeks since I had my accident :( I talked to my damage adjuster yesterday and they are still waiting on some part to come in and it could be the end of the week when my car is ready for me to go and pick up. I so want my car back, I miss it. I've been driving around a rental Rav4 and I can't wait to turn that gas hog back in you have no idea. I was hoping that it would be ready by tomorrow, it would be a great birthday present, but *sigh*, it's not in the stars for me.

So cheesy!

But also super cute!

Very frustrating!!!

So I've been perusing this website www.80stees.com and they have some totally awesome t-shirts there. Like this one:Ya know, like my ultimate favorite childhood cartoon. Only the sizes totally suck. You see because a "ladies" extra large shirt is the same size as the "Adult" size small, which is too small for me. Because ladies who would be interested in a Strawberry Shortcake t-shirt are not adults, so they don't need adult sizes. Bastards.
