Listening to: NFL Madden... Steve's playing a video game.

Hey guys! How has your week been going so far? I know it's only Tuesday, but the last time I updated was Thursday. Sheesh! Im slacking, I know! I remember the days when I'd update daily. Mayhaps I need to start doing that again. We'll see. My weekend was alright. I'll bring ya'll up to date real quick. This won't take long at all.

On Thursday I spent the day with my grandparents.  I got there around 11am and just kinda chilled for a bit. Pawpaw went and got us all some Taco Bell for lunch. The woman gave him the wrong burrito, so he went back over and got the right one he wanted.  Oh, but he was heated. It was so cute to see him so upset. He got back, we all ate, and everything was fine. When we got finished eating, there was a box on the porch. It was for mawmaw. I had ordered her and my mother mother's day flowers from www.flowers.com the week before.

Mawmaw was so excited. She asked pawpaw to cut open the box and he didnt cut a certain piece so she said, 'Hurr up! Im excited!' it was so cute. So, she finally opened the box. I got her a handblown, handpainted glass vase with a preserved yellow daisy. She was more ecstatic about the daisy than the vase! It was so cute. She kept messing with it, smelling it, telling everyone to look at it cause it was so pretty - stuff like that. I was really glad she liked it. I *love* making my grandparents happy. There's nothing better than watching them smile and be happy because of something you've done for them. It's a genuine happiness, yanno? After we got done with the flower, I cut her hair. By this time it's almost 3pm and Steve called me. We had to run and get his mother her mother's day gift that she called and requested... tanning sessions.

So, after I cut mawmaw's hair and chilled with them a bit, I left. I came home and got Steve then we headed to the place that was requested to get tanning sessions. Well, they said you couldn't purchase them until Friday if you wanted the mother's day special. So, we had to go to his parents house and hand her the cash. Do I think she used the cash on tanning sessions? Nope. Oh well, though, right? Kinda sucks when people call and say, "buy me this for this occassion." That makes me mad. I guess I'll just chalk it up to... 'that's how they are' and 'i'll learn to deal with it, eventually.'

Steve and I came on home on Thursday after leaving his parents house. I watched the new episode of CSI and it was fantastic! I can't wait to see the second part of it this thursday, although I seriously hate when they have their season finales cause that's one of my favoritest shows. Ever. When it went off, we just kinda hung out for the rest of the night. Nothing really major happened.

Friday was Steve's birthday.  I spent the entire day cleaning. I cleaned everthang in this house. Sheesh. I still have a couple loads of laundry to do, but I just have made up my mind that there will always be at least one load of laundry to do, always. Around 7pm Steve and I got ready and we went to the Snak Shak to have some supper. When we left there, we went to TCBY where Cory works and got an ice cream. We told Cory we were going to go see Scary Movie 4 and asked if he wanted to join us. Naturally, he did, cause he loves those types of movies, so we came back home and got my cell phone. Then, Steve and I headed over to the movie place and got the tickets. We went ahead and got Corys ticket cause he didnt get off until 9pm and the movie started at 9:20pm.

Well, 9pm rolled around and Cory was on his way. Steve sent me into the theater to get the seats, so I did. Bout 5 minutes later in walked Steve and Cory. They had missed the first 3 or so minutes of the movie that were absolutely hilarious.  They got there a few minutes before Dr. Phil cut off his foot. Mahahaha! The movie was absolutely hilarious. If any of you like the parody type of movies, this is hilarious. They parody Saw, The Village, The Grudge, and War of the Worlds. Maybe another, but I can't think of it right now. Cracked. Me. Up. After the movie, we just came on home and I went to bed about an hour later.

Saturday I didn't wake up until almost 1pm in the afternoon!  I guess I needed to sleep. Sheesh. It felt nice, too. I did have a headache the entire day though. It wasn't like a migrane or antyhing [i do get those, though], but it was more like a nagging little headache. I think it was cause of the weather. It was raining off and on and when it does that, I guess the pressure or whatever gets to me. I just piddled around the house for the most part on Saturday. Consisted of spending the day with Steve and just vegging.  I loved it! Around 5pm Steve and I got dressed cause my momma and step daddy took us out to dinner for Steve's birthday.  My Uncle, Caitlin and Cory joined us. We had a great time. I *love* doing stuff like that. With my family, you never know what we're going to discuss at the dinner table... no matter if we're in public or not! Mahahaha! The waitresses sang happy birthday to Steve and Cory and momma missed it! Mahahaha! After we all ate, Cory came back to the house for a bit. Steve, Cory and I watched my favorite movie; Austin Powers: Goldmember!

Sunday was a blah day here at my house. I got a card from Otis and Momma that said "Happy Mother's Day" and on the inside it says "Happy Mother's Day from Your Cat" and momma had marked out 'your cat' and put ' Otis '. She also had the words "meow" written and then 'translated' into 'human speak'. It was so thoughtful. Made me cry! It was the cutest thing I've ever seen! So, I called her and thanked her. I didnt do anything of importance on Sunday. Just hung out here at the house. I didn't feel good at all on Sunday. My head was thumpin so bad. Stupid headaches. Steve and I, around 9m or so, went grocery shopping. We like to go when there's hardly no one at the store and when theyre stocking the shelves. We know we get fresh stuff! A hundred and fifty dollars and an hour later, we were on our way home. Came home and put up all of the groceries. I didnt go to bed til about 1:30 or 2am on Sunday night.

Monday I went to class. Got my grade back on my speech... 43/50 points. I guess that's not too bad. In public speaking, we had to give impromptu speeches.  We all picked a topic out of a hat and had to give a little speech on it on the spot. It was ... interesting. We all were cracking up at each other. Mine was on Snail Mail or Email. You had to pick which one you liked better and then tell the class why. I picked email because it's quick, easy, and lets me keep in contact with people I love. I talked about Jackie, Sissa, Angel, Mey, Tchocky, Mist, Sapphire, and Aly. I told them about how I blog and email is how we keep in touch with each other. Without email, there would be no snail mail with me and you guys. :) See?! I think about you guys all the time!

After public speaking, I had my group II class. It was fun. That class always is. More laid back than the other classes. There weren't many of us in there. Angie wasn't in class. She called me at midnight last night, but I was so tired I couldn't answer the phone. I hope she's ok.  Im going to call her about 9 or so. I went to bed soo early last night that I got up around 6am today! Sheesh! I came home from class last night and Steve and I made supper. We ate, I cleaned the kitchen and put away the food. At 8pm I crawl into bed and Steve and I are all ready to watch Deal or No Deal. We turn it on and BAM there's George Dubya Boosh.  Mahahaha! He was talkin about the borders or whatever. I didnt listen to him, to be honest. I watched Court TV. It was much more interesting. They had a SWAT team on there bustin down doors and catchin drug dealers! I love when they say, "STOP RESISTING!!!" Mahahah! It cracks me up. Even when I watch Cops! Mahaha! Anyway - around 8:30 or so Deal or No Deal came on and I watched it. Then, bout 9:30 or so I went to sleep.

That was basically my weekend. I know, I know, nothing real exciting. This week should be a bit more exciting. Im trying to take on another chair position in another club. Im in the psychology club and have applied for the chair that is open: Secretary position. Im also going to find out, somehow, what other clubs there are on campus. I think there is a communications club and I'd like to get involved with that. The more clubs Im in the more I love it! I'm in three right now: Relay for Life, TRIBE, and ACTION [the psychology club]. OH! I got the letter in the mail yesterday that was asking how many guests I was going to have at graduation! Mahaha! What I loved the most is that the letter was headed: Dear Graduate! OH YEAH *happy dance* I loved that up.

Alrighty, Im gonna stop here. Im tired of typing and I think Im going to eat me some breakfast then lay down and do absolutely nothing for one whole day. My house is clean. I have no homework. Nothing to work on for any clubs.  I know, I know! It's shocking to me too! I'll end up cleaning something today, Im sure of it. I hope ya'll have a great day! I'll be updating on Thursday. Yes, Im going to watch American Idol tonight because Steve and my grandmother asked me to and asked me to vote for Taylor. Am I still mad at them for letting Chris go? YES. But you know what? The band, Fuel, has asked him to be their lead singer! THAT is amazing. I LOVE it. He can't do anything right now cause he's under contract w/American Idol to do the tour and stuff, but after that... I sure hope he takes that deal. I can't WAIT for his CD to come out. I think he's gonna be big. I know I'll buy his CD.
