As promised, the rest of my slow week...

Mo's team won against Greenville on Tuesday, 12-10. They were also on the news on Thursday night. They are undefeated and they totally rock.

Wednesday, I didn't do much. Amy came home sick from school. I took the dog downtown to walk in the park. We accidentally wandered into the background of a video shoot (which they should have warned me about when I walked right past their setup). Carson was very well behaved. I reminded her every time we passed people that they did not need to be licked. That afternoon, I helped mom with posters and talked to Gene for a bit.

Thursday, Mo was home from school. Lots of TV watching ensued. My day revolved entirely around meatloaf. I woke up to a note from mom, saying I should make meatloaf for dinner. Then I spent a while finding a recipe for meatloaf. Then, I searched the kitchen for the ingredients for the meatloaf. Then I went to the store to get the rest of the stuff for meatloaf. Then I came back and made cookies earlier than planned so that the stove would be empty for the meatloaf. Then I spent some time thinking about the fact that I would be making meatloaf and when I should start making meatloaf. Then I made the meatloaf. Then I waited forever for it to cook while the house started smelling like meatloaf. Then mom started talking about meatloaf. Then we ate meatloaf. It was good meatloaf.

Thursday night, I went downtown with Kelsey. Had a yummy yummy milkshake at Coffee Underground, then went back to her place and pet the cats and stuff. The cats were cute. They also reminded me that I'm allergic to cats. Went back downtown later to say hi to Wes. Went home. Slept.

Friday, I got up at 7:30 and was given until 8:15 to be ready to leave, cause my mom and I were going to Atlanta to go shopping. We stopped by the apartment on the way, then we headed to the Mall of Georgia. Went to Nordstrom Rack and got some stuff. Mom got a bunch of clothes. I got two shirts and a really awesome red dress. We ate something for lunch. I forget where, but it was a wrap. It was yummy. Then we speed shopped around the mall, ending up at J.Crew and Teavana (yay for teavana!). Got a bunch of stuff, then got back in the car and headed back to Greenville, cause we had to be back by 6 for Amy's lacrosse game, cause it was senior night. Mo felt like crap, but played quite well. They won, like 13 to 3 or something like that. Point being they kicked butt.
Saturday, didn't do anything of consequence. Raked the driveway. Got some books for Amy. Yep.

Went to church on Sunday, then packed up and headed back here. Spent the lovelier part of the afternoon at Olin, working on homework. It was quite hot here. Then I took some Sonic over to Julie's and we watched tv. We went to the grocery store and got ice cream and nacho dip, then we went back to her place and watched...wait for it..."Bring It On: All Or Nothing"...yes! It was, by far, one of the cheesiest movies ever. It was awesome. Rachey came over for a bit, then I went home.

Monday was Monday. Class. I mean, who really wants to go to class on a Monday after spring break? On the bright side, speech was cancelled for the rest of the week. Dr. Brown also cancelled class for the week. Tuesday was Tuesday. Nothing of consequence. I've started going to Fike cause I can't excercise outside cause of all the pollen. It's quite annoying.

To brighten up your day, here a a few random photos that I find smile-worthy...
First, the sheep. Who wouldn't want a pink Serta sheep to look at them like that? It IS a bit creepy when the sheep hides under your pillow...
This is the Burka family Sacred Potato Chip. See the smiley face? This chip is in the dining room window. It's probably a year old. It's quite stale now. But, it's sacred. Maybe we'll sell it on e-bay.

Diary of a Beach-less Spring Break

So I'm at home for spring break, just kinda chillin and resting myself from school. I thought that since I'm not doing anything, I would regale you, my readers, with the exciting goings-on of my break.

Last Friday, Julie and I made a green cake for St. Patrick's Day. After that, Rach and I drove to Greenville, where I was forced to exit at 185 and go through downtown to get to the mall because of the stupid pick-up truck man and his trailor. See, they (he) decided to come over into my lane, right where my car and I were. Anyway, ended up exiting by accident while trying to get out of his way. After the mall trip, I went home and got right back into the car with the fam to go get new cell phones.

Watched some movies with the fam over the weekend. Yesterday (Monday) I went to the mall and got some very cute pants (on sale, of course), then I got a jacket, some hairspray, and some lipgloss that tastes like grapefruit. Yummy yummy. After my lovely slow shopping day, I came home and went with mom to Fuddruckers for the lacrosse fundraiser.

Today, I am being a slug. I have worked on Julie and Rachel's graduation presents for a while, then ate lunch. Now I'm sitting. It's great. I'll probably work on my blanket and watch a movie. Maybe Toy Story or something. Here are some lacrosse pictures from last week, since I'll be spending most of my time going to lacrosse games this week. Yay!
Mo on the right, and Jennifer, and 2 girls whose names I don't know. You'd be surprised how different these girls look without cages across their faces.
Mo's in there somewhere... beyond the #10 girl, I think...
Me and my lacrosse superstar after they put the whoop on Wade Hampton.
Words can't really describe what's going on here...
Not sure what I'm doing the rest of the week, so this blog should get successively more boring.

what have i been doing lately...

let's see. i recall stopping after my lovely trip to gatlinburg last time...
not really sure how much time has passed since then, so i'll just tell stories...

the group from tennessee tech came down to visit us for their spring break. we went to PBC and did some cleaning, then we went hiking up to the waterfall. that was pretty cool. we had a bonfire afterward. props to the guys on the massively scary fire.
while you're at it...check out the awesome lunar eclipse that we had that night. sooooooo cool!
this weekend, i went to the ONE art show. hopefully i'll eventually get a picture of the painting that the high five made. finger painting rocks. yeah.
saturday morning, shea and holly and i went yard sale-ing. i cleaned my room, went to wes's birthday party, then went to the last finley party. here you go...party pictures...
Randi and I didn't mean to have on the same dress. At least they're different prints. Oh well. AND we looked fabulous! (oh, and did i mention they were both under $14?!?)
My fabulous triumvirates and I looking amazing as always. You'd never know that ju was sleepy and rach had a hurt ankle (and there's always something wrong with me...).
I mean really, who DOESN'T play the drums in a speedo, bowtie, and batman mask. Yes, I do know this kid. Yes, he is mostly normal. Yes, there is a reason for the speedo.
They had mics hanging from the ceiling, so everyone became a performer by the end of the night, just as the guys were doing in this picture (probably singing along to the backstreet boys).

That about sums up my goings-on lately. The next post will be "the diary of a dull spring break."
