Ummmm, Titles Escape Me

Wow. So I hate writing in an actual journal. I tried writing down what was going on over the weekend in a n actual journal that I would transfer over later on, and it sucked. I'll be doing it again when I ride up to Northern but ick ick ick. It just takes so long. But enough griping. This is going to be long enough as is. Well maybe not, maybe I can shorten it. I'll use bullets and numbers (crazy I know, but it just might work).

1. Firday July 1st ~~ After work

• Went to Jen's housse for hot dogs. We had one heck of a time getting the coals lit though so it took us close to an hour before we were even able to eat.
• Walked to the fireworks downtown. I was "lucky" enough to end up talking to Cal(mentioned in a previous post as a possible future good friend). Who, nice guy though he is, is mildly annoying in that he talks to you until you physically remove yourself from him by at least a block. So he bothered me for almost the entire night of fireworks until I ditched him right before the show. He found me after that and I spent the walk home talking to him again. I need to learn some not-so-nice-girl traits so I can get rid of unwanted people without makin ghtem ffeel like it was something they did.
• Back at Jen's we all just hung out for a while. We played with sparklers and then all the girls went for a "road trip" to Taco Bell. Liz and Jen play this game whenever they leave a drive through. They try to perform they're very best little kid cry. It's so funny! There were 6 of us in the van all trying to sound like little kids who didn't get candy, it was great. We got back and just sat around and talked in the tent.
• I got to be proud of myself because Liz, for some reason kept egging Sam and I to take off our tops (I think she was feeling sorta slutty because of her recent behavior but thats teh only reason I can think of that she would act like that). I resisted and did not do it. Although I will strip in a game situation I'm not just gonna go taking off my clothes just because. Thn I showed everyone what my undies said....I think its different. Yes, it is because it was done with innocent intentions...Plus they were so cool. They say: Hi, I'm an Aries! (on the front) and then describes attributes of an aries on the bum. I love them mucho much. And its Jackie's fault that I show people what my underwear saynow since she has showed me since the first day I met her.
• I stayed up until 5, went to bed in the tent and shivered for two hours then got up and talked with everyone else who hadn't gone to bed. It was cool, we watched the sun rise and listend to the birds chirp.
• Fun quote of the night: "Wouldn't be awesome if teh fire just crwled up the lighter fluid into the bottle and exploded!" ~Liz " Yeah I'd throw it backwards...and oops!It would hit you" ~ Mike in response to Liz

2. Saturday July 2nd~~The Cottage

• On saturday My family (not including Dad) and I were scheduled to go to Carrie's (Mom's friend) cottage on the lake. THis lake apparently is very close to Jay's house and since Carrie and everyone in their family absolutly loves him, Carrie told me to invite him the next time we came up.
• I invited Jay and he came to my house from the Club where he had spent the night. We drove over separately from my since he'd have to go home later anyway and since Jay needed to stop by his house first.
• Have I mentioned that Jay has an amazing water bed? Nancy, Jackie, and I make it a point to go to his room anytime we are over and just sit on his bed. Its just so bouncy and move-y. So I went and sat down...well laid down (I was tired I only had two hours of sleep!) while Jay took care of his laundry and other stuff. Let me tell you if I had just closed my eyes I would have fallen asleep right there. Which I can only imagine would have been an interesting wake-up..."Ery. Wake-up. You are asleep on my bed and we are supposed to meet your mother in a little while." Heehee. So yeah we left and went to the cottage.
• Not much that is extremly exciting happened at the cottage. We rode the jet ski, played some football and went tubing. I can't hold on to a frickin' tube after I fall off the first time so the boat got many good laughs out of seeing me go skidding across the water. After that we had dinner and then played in the water some more.
• After a while the water was cold so we all got out and got changed. Jay and I sat on the hammock to gether and just talked about random stuff. Nothing too deep just surface-y stuff. I would be lying to myself if I didn't say that it just being the two of us swinging in a hammock was a totally sweet, potentiallly romantic moment that was completly wasted. And I don't even mean between us two specifically. I mean, no one was paying a ttention to us or really watching what we were doing. If there was anything romantic going on between me and the person I was in the hammock, there would have been fireworks of a different kind going off (heehee excuse the bad pun, it just slipped out).
• The boys all had a ball setting off firecrackers and then everyone went home. Jay had invited me to go see a baseball game the next day so I was off to bed so I could be up in time.
• Fun quotes of the day: How do you get out of bed in the morning...I'd be too comfortable to move." ~ Me after reluctantly rolling out of Jay's bed (the wrong way apparently) "IBS, Itchy Butt Syndrome" ~ A condition explained to Jay by Kevin and Carrie that results from staying in a wet suit for too long.

3. Sunday July 3~~ Baseball Game

• Got up at 8:30 for church. I was soo tired, but I had to go. Just one of those things. Church really calms me down. Which I guess is a good thing since it then allows me some quiet time to think, which I equate with praying in an informal manner. After chruch My mom and I had to wait for my dad to finish up with some MCREST program (a program to help the homeless) stuff. After he finished he insisted on staying to talk with some people. After a while I figured I shoud go check out what time it was since Jay was coming to our house at noon. The only clock around was in the church itself so I had to go back in, but I felt bad about wanting to see the clock and leave to I knelt down to say a Hail Mary...then Isaid nine more...and then the group rosary started so I sadi that. I was in the shurch for another half hour. At that point I went to tell my mom that I had to leave. Jay almost beat us to our house we cut it so close.
• Went to the game...was bored. It was hot and the game was boring and I really don't enjoy watching sports like baseball (or any for that matter). So yeah very non-eventful.
• Jay took me home and then went back to the Club to jetski (I sooo wanted to go but didn't want to impose) So instead I went to Big Boy. I really really really really wanted a chicken club ciabatta and some strawberry shortcake. It was good. I then spent the rest of my night home alone vegging out in front of the tv. Big wooop-dee-doo-dah.
• No fun quotes...although I got sunburned and I thinkI have a sunblister on my lip...or a cold sore although how the heck I would have gotten that I don't know.

4. Monday July 4

• Haha look its #4 and July 4th (wow that was not related to what happened at all)
• We cleaned. The entire house.
• Josh called to get my address so that I can get some mail...I love mail, in all its forms.
• Uncle Ken and Aunt Viv came over and we had a "BBQ" (in quotes because we had normal grilled chicken and burgers no actuall BBQ). Uncle Pete came over later and we lit off some fireworks. It was a nice end to the weekend, I love my family.
• FUn quote of the day: "Rockaby baby" ~Uncle Ken and Aunt Viv for at least one answer everytime we went around the song words game. (they are haveing twins so I think they have babies on the brain)

Well that was my long weekend. I should have planned to do something tonight, but I forgot. Oh wow I have to relate my odd coincidences and stories in the next post because this is just too long already.
