neebsfirst of all, you know the phrase "third time's a charm?" well i would like to debunk that myth. that is a pile of horsecrap. *please note: this will probably be the most bitter part of this entry. the rest will be filled with sunshine and smiles and puppy dogs.
this weekend was pretty good. i realized last night that last week just flew by. man, i just realized that it's already noon today. today is flying, too. weird. anywho, friday i went to Justin's despite the sleet and ice and i had a good time. they're only about a 10 minute drive from my house, so once Dan moves in there in January, thursday night line-ups will be much closer. there wasn't so much dancing and partying as there was catching up with people, but that was nice too. George and i are undefeated (3-0) as a beer pong team when playing by UMD rules. and i didn't even have to use my cleavage to help win.
saturday, i woke up around 11 and was amazingly productive until about 12:30. i shoveled my car out, shoveled the sidewalk, cleaned my room, cleaned the kitchen, and cleaned my bathroom. then i headed home for some shopping with mom and Jes. we were looking for Christmas dresses to wear to church, but most of the ones i tried on were too slutty or just not cute enough, so i didn't get one. Jes found a HOT red one, though, and i have a dress i bought this summer that's never been worn that i'll be wearing, so it's all good. after shopping, we went to UMD for the second round of the NCAA Volleyball tournament where MD was playing Colorado State. we played against CS when i played club and those girls were scary. the varsity team was even more intimidating. i forgot how much i love volleyball. playing, watching, it doesn't matter. it's just so much fun. after that, i headed to G's house, and we ended up staying in and watching a movie with his sister and her friend. Frida, was the movie. very very very weird. she was bi-sexual, and there are several times throughout the movie that emphasize just how extrememly sexual (either way) she was. unfortunately, a large part of the movie was overshadowed by the ginormous unibrow that Frida apparently had. yowzers.
yesterday was a good day. i went home after meeting Danny and Jes at church and the plan was to put up the fake tree. (or artificial, if that makes me sound more cultured.) Annie was being a pain, and wouldn't stay outside unless we were out there, so the three of us humans went outside for an impromptu snowball fight or, as i liked to call it, a showcase of my snowball prowess. (no comments from the peanut gallery, please. =P) after that, we finished assembling the tree, then mom and dad got home so we started decorating. i really like our upstairs tree. it's pink and Victorian themed, and by the time we have all the lights, beads, ornaments, candles, and other miscellany on it, it always looks so pretty. after dinner, i headed to church for youth group with a twist. yesterday was the Christmas Pagent, and the junior high kids were responsible for babysitting the toddlers in the nursery.
here's where i go off on a tangent. i love babies. i love little kids. i love them so much. one of the best feelings in the world is when a baby waddles over to you in their cute baby walk and just puts their arms around your neck, or just plops down in your lap like they belong there. or when one of them is crying and you pick them up and they just snuggle right into your neck, with their arms around you. all three of those happened to me last night, and i was almost in tears by the time the parent's came to pick them up. i know i'm not ready for kids yet-that's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the future, God willing-but sometimes, those warm fuzzy feelings are just too much and it makes me wish i had that now.
return from the tangent. after youth group, chris and i hung out and talked for a while. it was nice to have him back to normal. and by normal, i mean for him. not like society's standard of normal. clearly, he has a way to go for that. i told him his bad week came at a bad time because it was the 2 month mark of my living there, and i'm convinced that there's a 2 month tolerance of me, after which you either hate me and want to get rid of me (see all exes) or you get over that little speedbump and we're friends for good (see the rest of you, except probably Jes, cuz she's just stuck with me as a sister regardless). he was rather amused by that. George called on his way home from working on another project-looks like it's gonna be another tough stretch for him. but his finals are over next wednesday (the poor guy has both finals on the same day-that SUCKS), so hopefully he'll be a little less stressed in 10 days. i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
