felt like updating....
Hi. Did anyone miss me? Or for that matter, did anyone notice I was gone? lol
Lots to talk about, so this entry will be long. So I apologize in advance.
Saturday morning, I crammed as much of my take home final as I could. I think I did aobut 65% of it correctly, with 15% debatable and 5% bullcrap. Then about 10% I just didn't do. Ah well. Also, after waiting for so long, I finally told Amazon.com that I wanted a refund. I bought my books on 19 APRIL and on 07 MAY it still wasn't in my possession. grrr.
After that, my dad came to my apartment to pick me up. We first went to a McDonalds where I got a fish sandwich, which was very small and nasty and not at all very satiating. I also got large fries and a Dr. Pepper. Later we went to Lowe's Home Improvement. It was so boring. My dad was there to look into getting carpeting for their living room and also to get a strainer for the bathroom sink. But before we went to Lowe's, we got lost and ended up at the mall. I took that opportunity to go by the music store to get a Dashboard Confessional CD! :D Here's a sampler of their music: For Justin. Right click, save file as...
When I got to my parents' house, I was greeted with a hyper Brandon running around the hallways. He was too cute. He seemed thinner than last I saw him, but I guess I was just expecting a big chubby baby. His head is more in proportion to his body now, and he talks a lot more.
The rest of the night was pretty much a wash. I gave my mom her birthday present a day early, which was that big bible [Genesis to Revalations>. I spent most of it running around with Brandon. I didn't get many pictures but here are a few. Brandon and my brother and sister went outside where one of our cats had babies about a month ago. Brandon has a dog named noodle, so he went up to them and started saying, "Noodle". When they ran away, he squatted down, patted his thighs, and clicked his tongue trying to get them to come, which was so cute. When one of them finally came to him, he picked the cat up and cuddled. Here are pics:

Brandon with boo boo 2
Brandon with boo boo 3
He dubbed the kitty "boo boo". Hehe. Brandon really got attached to the kitty, so my sister said the next time they come up they'll bring him with them to Panama City. The kitty's still a little young to be separated from the mother, and plus no shots yet, etc. I'll probably take care of that in a week or so.
After barely getting much sleep, We went to church on Sunday morning. It was first communion so the mass took ages and the church was packed with people. After mass, we went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. The clasp on the emerald necklace my brother got for my mother broke, so we got that replaced. Then we met up with one of my sister's friends and went to Goody's. She bought a shirt and a skirt, I think. I bought 3 shirts and two shorts. The shorts were mesh and were navy blue and black. The three shirts I got were:
a blue shirt with dark purple letters saying, "Not the brightest crayon in the box, are we?"
a black shirt with white letters saying, "If you don't like my attitude, then stop reading my shirts."
a black shirt with red and white letters saying, "Gardener available. Desperate Housewives wanted."
Hehe. After that, we went to a local Mexican restaurant and had late lunch. It was pretty awesome. I haven't been there since my family went there to celebrate my undergrad graduation in December 03 so it was very nice. Then I noticed there was a Movie Gallery beside the restaurant so I borrowed four movies [they were "rent 3 movies and get the 4th free">
We got back right after that because we didn't want to leave my mom with Brandon alone for too long. I think I took a nap when we got home. Then later that night, I chased him around the house again. Oh yeah, my sister was eating a Klondike sandwich bar and it fell on the floor, so I started laughing really loud. Brandon was in the room and looked at me funny like he was saying, "Don't laugh at my mommy!" But then he looked over to his mom and saw that she was laughing as well, so he started laughing, too. It was too cute. Oh yeah, he heard my mom fart earlier in the day and he said, "Ewww." I think that was earlier that Saturday while I was still on the way home because I didn't witness it; my sis just told me about it. I would have been rolling on the floor if I was there.
Later, he saw a cockroach on the floor and started freaking! That struck me as odd because in Rugrats, the babies there loved bugs, etc. Shrug. But I had fun with it and kinda teased him. hehe. Oh and he does this thing where if you're sitting down, he'll run up to you and fling his arms around your neck and give you a glomp. He did it to my sister and my brother, but not to me :(. sigh.
When his dad got back from Atlanta to our house at about 2 AM they left. They both had to go to work that morning, so thats why they didn't spend another night. So after a brief farewell, I went online for a bit and talked to some people about the house cup challenge. I'm really sorry that I didn't get a chance to participate in this one, but as you read above, I was kinda occupied. I can't say I would have done differently if I had to do it again, but I do apologize for not attempting to create a banner.
Monday was spent mostly on playing Sims2. Hehe. One of my characters maxed out all his skills. And my teen's starting to annoy me. He keeps having a B average in school, even though he always does his homework and never misses the bus to school. Shrug. But Sims is mad fun though. I promised Nate I'd make a character and name it after him, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Tuesday was boring. Oh yeah, when you wake up and you go to the bathroom to brush your teeth, make sure that you're awake enough to notice that you grab the right toothbrush. I grabbed someone else's and when I noticed, I gagged. :( After mouthwashing later, I felt fine.
Yesterday was more Sims. Hehe. My brother took in a cat that his co-worker got for her son, but the son didn't like it too much. So today we brought it to a local pet shop. My brother knows the owner there well so they agreed to take it in to find it a good home. Oh, the shop was downtowon so I had to drive through lots of lanes and one ways and etc. My brother told me to park curbside, which meant I had to parallel park. I told him where he could go. [Hint: warm place, starting with H>. I drove around the block and found a parking lot to park in and told him to walk. Just fyi: I'm terrified of parallel parking. After that, we went to a Chinese restaurant and got some seafood. Don't ask, but their buffet has steamed crab legs, mussels in white wine sauce, and shrimp, which are awesome. So then we went home, which meant more sims for me.
Today was a little interesting. In the morning, I logged onto UGA's grade roll website and entered in my students' grades. I gave out 6 Bs, 2 Cs, and an F. The rest of them were As. I had about 50-60 students or so. The F I gave was to a student that missed three months of class.
Remember those pics up there of Brandon? Well his hair is longer than mine now. Yep. I got a buzz cut. I like it, actually, but it will definitely take some time to get used to. Again, the salon was downtown so it was more of me driving. Hehe. Oh this jerk pulled in front of me to change lanes when the light turned green and I started speeding up. Grrrr. Later, when I picked up my brother from work, we went by Sonics to get a Strawberry Slushie. I havent had one of those in ages, so mmmmm. We got home, I played a bit of Sims, and then finally got around to watching those movies I rented Sunday. I wached Elektra, which was pretty good, I guess. The action was good, the plot was semi lacking, and the actors/actresses were hot. :)
So that's my big update. I probably left out a lot of stuff, but oh well. Cya in a few days.
