Watermelon: Nouveau Crap :D
Soo........ AWESOME WEEKEND!! so much fun.
friday: started going to the gym on wednesday everyday at a brand new gy so im like the only person in there the entire time, cant complain about that! then got all pretty and went to Kara's bridal shower, and she had cut her hair again (this time NOT by chris...who acually did a good job the last time or two) and it looked very cute, shes one of those people who looks really good no matter how long the hair is... its almost angering...
but anyways, shower was a complete blast, we played all of the games (words scrambles, 20 questionsesque games etc) and then had one where we had top split into groups of like 6 and pick a girl to dress up as a bride in toilet paper. our group was me, mom, millie, bonnie, mrs beraducci, and mrs staff. needless to say, mass hilarity ensued. millie was automatically cast as our bride, as she conveniently came dressed in a strapless hawaiian shirt (v cute btw) it was hilarious, she walked in and caitlin just says "Millie!!!!...youre NAKED!!" i swear i almost dieeeed laughing. and dont buy me a to go coffee machine when i get hitched. 1. i am so better than that 2. i dont think i could watch you and bonnie go through that stress again LOL 3. i am SO better than that. :) so anywyas, dressing up was friggen hilarious, and pictures can be found HERE!!
and i forgot to sign the album for kara, but i think a bunch of people did...i am sure there will beba reception partay once they get back or something. lets just say all the puns came out in bulk. all i am saying is
score hard
score fast
score early.
ANNNNNNNND GOOD NIGHT!
Saturday: karin (the pod) had her "shindig" at the house and i was not allowed to be present while her compadres were in a block's radius, so mom and i scooted off to do errands and shop, leaving dad at home with the tykes. he was not happy with that little deal. mom and i went to get like 6 pictures framed at aaron brothers and spent liek 500 dollars that came off of MY visa. was very disheartening. was promptly paid back by dad though, thank GOD. i had MAYBE 6 cents left. then went home to make sure dad had not commited suicide with unattended minors running about the house, got reimbursed, and quickly sped off to talbots for mom and gap for moi. anne spent another 170 bucks on summer clothes. but i hadnt been shopping in like 8 months, and my dad knows i never buy ANYTHING, so he didnt care. oh and i really did pay for that, no reimbursement. mmmmmm those are the minutes (stress; minutes) i mis highschool. got more layerable tanks (omg i love em) and a very very depressing strapless sundress. looks good and i will wear it, it just usually i am the kind of person who can walk into jesica mc clintock for a formal and fit ERFECTLY , im talking glove like, into a strapless dress. i look like deflated in this thing....curse you mono hepatitis, curse you!! and then to just raise my spirits clear to jupiter, we go bathing suit shopping. fan. bloody. tastic. have also lost any TRACES of muscle that i def had last yr due to aforementioned disease, which sucks to the max, and i also have gruesome tanlines...(shout ous to millie here, i have nothing on you, and bow down to you, oh horrid lacrosse tan god). but amazingly, got two really nice suits that were disgustingly expensive (thank you very little mr oneill and mr hilfiger)
after shopping got changed and got stuff together to go to millies, including my eMac so she could catch up on west wing and er....much easier than moving any other type of desktop, its been decided. not a laptop, but we dont complain. :). so got to millies and "helped" with dinner. i peeled potatoes. and sliced them. the canters are smart and only allow me to do that (thanks!! we should all be thankful lol) and spent til liek 10 making dinner. not hard, we just...took our time....and wasnt hungry yet anyways, and ended up being very very good dinner. now millie and i have had a very bad weekend in respects to mixed drinks. thank GOD neither of us is a chem major, because we would be awful. we still blame the recipes though, we did eveything right. saturdays atampt was the blueberry mojito (mmm doesnt that just sound scrumptious???) problem was we kind of used frozen berries from what was described as "a time before i left for uni" by millie, leaving their actual BEST BEFORE date in a range from anywhere from 1600 to last august. so some of us went sans berry mojito for the night. on the.....4th time??? we got them tasting pretty damn good too. what we have learned from every recipe thus far: YOU ALWAYS NEED MORE LIME. i went with the berries, and it actually was a pretty good drink. practice makes perfect though...
post dinner was a bootleg-o-thon with the last two episodes of west wing and season finale of er....which took a good 3 hours to complete, even commercial free. rowan discovered the penalty of falling asleep at 1130 pm when he felt ice water rushing down his neck...poor kid....anyone else would have known it was coming...even better-he fell back asleep and didnt even remember it when he woke up again....(its very scary, we all know. ) then hooray for sleeeeeeeep
Sunday: the day of....driving.... but a fun and delicious day regardless!!! woke up at liek 830 so we could leave at 915 and still get to reckling field intime for the rice anm baseball game. went downtown via the woodlands to pick up rowans quite sane friend reid that was plenty entertaining throughout the day (damn u clappers......) went to eat at goode co taqueria for lunch (so good) and then went to rice where the game was very very hot....and very not full of any kind of sunblock. NOT GOOD. sat next to a group of aggies that spent the ENTIRE game heckling rice...poor guys...but they still kicked their butts and won the game 3 to1. too bad they lost the 2nd game. does ANYONE know why they cant subsitute any other schools name when they sing goodbye to UT? you were playing riiiiiiice not ut, but they dont get it. one of their players also went and walked himself to first base after THREE balls. aggie counting, so entertaining, you justw atch the iq points dwindle....i am so going to get jumped. saw mr gray and bryan like 3 rows up from us and talked to them for a bit, was very nice to see them. said lauren was in college station with the boyfriend, which he said was really really nice, so that made me happy, very cute :) we all got free clappers at the game for being rice fans, which should never ever be given to two 14 yr old boys, good god. in a car for an hour and a half with that is....interesting. lol not horrible though :) we survived! then went to amy's ice cream, the never finishable single scoop. i am always defeated. then ended back at millies where we attempted to make watermelon margaritas. HAHA now THAT should have been on tape. i think we covered half the kitchen in overly sticky juice. and they turned out like absulte craaaaaaaap!!! we let her mom taste them and she was liek ..."this tastes like dirty water...and a little bit of tequila" they were litteraly so shitty....and i think we even made them right. ahhhhh well. we gave up after more concocting and finally made classics, which also werent up to par.
so defeated by tequila in so many ways....it was very disheartening.
but weekend was still a blast, and got me outta the house for a good long while....THANK U!!!!
i am now ridiculously sunburnt on my shoulders ( the "its looking better stage" lasted about 20 minutes, now it sucks) and also crazy tired. am def sleeping in tomoro...poor mil has to go to hobby in the morning and then do camps...god speed hun!!
