I went to the salon to get a manicure, and as I was leaving I realized that the woman had only painted three of my nails. I went back in and asked for the manager, who started crying and took me to the back corner to try out a new manicure technique on me. The back room happened to be on a patio overlooking downtown Des Moines, where a giant Memorial Day parade was going on.
The woman decided to cut my hair while she was at it, and as she was cutting I realized that she wasn't watching me at all, she was watching the parade. For some reason that didn't bother me, so I started watching the parade too, and I realized that George Clooney was on the float that was driving by. The woman cutting my hair didn't believe me, so I ran through the salon screaming about George Clooney, and no one else thought it was him. Just as the float was driving away, George jumped off the float with Tobey McGuire and told me that I won the parade's Where's Waldo prize.

Shopping fiasco
I was on vacation with Matt and our friends John, Lindsey, Tara, Brian, Nicole, and my co-worker Jeanette. We had just gotten to Colorado and decided to go to the mall before dinner. As we were walking around the mall, Jeanette and I wanted to go look for some athletic shorts, so we stopped in a sporting goods store. We came out and realized that everyone else had ditched us and we couldn't find them. I started trying to call Matt repeatedly but his phone was off.
We roamed around the mall and found Brian and Nicole in line at the roller skating rink. The rink had a movie screen inside it and you could watch a movie while skating. They told us that all of the rest of our group had already gone inside to watch the movie. Jeanette got so upset that she started bawling, so we continued to walk through the mall. Finally, we found Matt and John sitting at a cafe eating pizza. They didn't want us bothering them so they had turned off their phones. Then Jeanette started crying again because we were supposed to go out to eat when we left the mall but no one wanted to eat with us. Then I woke up.
