Wednesday (January 3): My dad turned 47. I woke up and told him that he is getting old and he said thanks. ;) I sat around and watched the America's Next Top Model Mega Marathon on VH1 and helped my dad download songs for his new video ipod. I ran to Old Navy to try on a jacket/coat that was on sale that I saw the weekend before in St. Louis and thought was adorable - but, it didn't look right on me. That's alright. I saved $35. That night we went out to eat (Fazoli's) for my dad's birthday and my grandpa and his new wife met us at the house and went out to eat with us. We came back and ate cake and ice cream.
Thursday (January 4): I did some errands then went to my grandparents' house for the rest of the day/night. I made my grandpa watched America's Next Top Model Mega Marathon with me. We watched Jeoporady and my grandpa knew 75% of the answers. I knew a few - What is Lithuania? My grandpa was surprised I knew that one! We had dinner and I watched tv with my grandma. I love those old people to bits!
Friday (January 5): I hung around my grandparents' house and ran and got us lunch. I went home and took care of my dog by getting her fresh food, water, put hay in her house and cleaned out her pin. I also gave her about 12 treats because I felt bad that she had to be out in the rain. I did errands around the house then my dad and I left around 4:30 to go pick up my mom from work then headed to St. Louis. They took me to my brother's condo then my brother's girlfriend and her best friend came over. We watched School of Rock then my brother came home and we had a pizza delivered at 10:30 for dinner. We went to bed around 12am. I couldn't sleep.
Today we had to wake up and leave by 10:15 because we were meeting my parents at Webster to move into my apartment (second try) and got all my stuff out of my old apartment and into my new! (Beth: I got your message and I will call you tomorrow with details. But, overall the apartment is niiiice and smelled/is nice and clean.) We ate lunch at Amighetti's and walked around The Hill. We went to an Italian market and to the bakery then headed back to my brother's condo, so my dad could open his bday gifts from myself and my brother. We got him an ipod case and a power adapter for the car and for the wall for his ipod. My parents brought me back to my apartment and I put all my stuff away, hung low and made pasta. I have been watching the Real World and The Osbournes. I need to go to bed.
