In which family arrives for a (... well, let us pretend it's a ) festive occasion
My week
Prepare yourself for some ranting...
Saturday
*I saw the new Die Hard movie and have yet to see Ratatouille. Die Hard was rather well done. I think I like it better than any of its predecessors.
Sunday
*Went shopping with my mother and sister to find dresses to wear to my brother's wedding this coming Saturday. I managed to find a decent blue dress that was flattering. Far too many nice dresses have awful unflattering arm straps or no straps. I really wish I had dainty feminine arms and shoulders.
Monday
*I went to work and got a lot done .
*Then I went to the gym. I ran 2 miles in 20min 35 sec - thats over 2 min off my previous time - go me.
*Then went home to do last minute fixing/cleaning before family arrived late that night.
Tuesday
*Family made me go to the beach. Got sunburned in one small area which will now have to be fixed at the tanning salon before Labyrinth or else I will look really stupid in that dress.
Wednesday
*Got up early (hadnt slept really anyway) and made it to HB high school to see Charles run the HB 4th of July 5k race. Camera was ready but not in picture taking mode so I got the back of him.

*Family tried to make me go to the beach again when I got back. I resisted and managed to nap a little after having not slept well for at least 3 days.
*Later we BBQ'd a bunch of stuff and watched fireworks.
Thursday
*Went to work again early to use machine I signed up for.
*Had lunch and Peruvian place with Jesse, Jon L. and Gareth before he left for Europe on Friday.
*After work went and got nails done so I could look nice for the wedding. Retard lady cut my nails too short. Why she even got out the fucking clippers and managed to get one before I could stop her Ill never know.
*Took last of my antibiotics. Am extremely pleased they are over and done with. Amoxacillan smells like rotting putrid death in capsule form. And that's an improvement over the non-capsule form around a few years ago. Taking those was a race: Get the pill down before the smell makes you vomit. If you succeed you could still face round two if you burp.
*Was so tired I forgot to wish Sara a Happy Birthday.
Today
*Got to work early to find that lame chick got in earlier to use the machine I signed up for at 8am. Each sample run takes 2 hours. Her starting one at 7:30am does not mean she will finish by 8am. My boss was not happy with her and might even mention this to her boss. My whole day is screwed because I have to wait for retard girl's samples to finish. Also the air conditioner where I sit is broken so its hotter than hell by my desk and sub zero in the lab.
*Hopefully this evening will be more pleasant as tomorrow wont be. More family is arriving tonight tho they are all staying at hotels.
Now to truly bitch, because thats what LJ is really for and, if you couldn't tell, I am in a bad mood:
My sister is not pleased with my shoe, purse and jewelry choices for the wedding but she can stuff it. Her dress is super garish and ugly and makes her look oddly shaped and possibly pregnant. My brother has already called to ask me to do more stuff on the wedding day like go to their room and put rose petals on the bed and put the champagne on ice. Ugh like I want to even go in that room. It wouldn't be so bad if somewhere there was somebody who was actually happy that they were getting married. Earlier in the year his best man didn't want to be the best man because he hates her that much. Everyone is grinning and bearing it. Well everyone who has met her anyway.
I'm now going to get lunch somewhere satisfying and read more of Anansi Boys.
