Whatta Weekend

I think I last posted on Friday...wow. That seems like a loooong time ago! Haha, Happy Monday! How bout an update? On life? YES!

Friday was Ali-goes-to-store-by-herself-on-the-bus-day. It was a good time. I needed a giant hair clip. Cuz the night before I broke mine in half. So off to the store I went. Kohl's as a matter of fact. I had a gift card. So I figured 'why not?!' Bus ride was flawless; I got there, which is the important part. The bus driver was odd though. Drove to a bus stop in front of Wendy's, parked the bus at the bus stop--and then got out. She went in Wendy's and went to the bathroom. Everyone on the bus was like...WHAT?! Whatever, it's her job, I guess. She's got it under control...I guess.

But Kohl's...I went in the wrong door. I got inside and right in front of me was the shoes. Uh oh. The good thing: I had a gift card. The bad thing: I needed white sandals/flip flops and no one was with me to help pick anything out. Soooo...half an hour later, after scouring the ENTIRE store, I narrowed down my choices from six to two. It was between a two-pack of flip flops (one white, one brown) or a pair of white sandals that are the closest I've ever had to owning 'Greek' sandals. Even though I could have bought the two pairs for $5, I went with the sandals because I had a gift card, and I never really splurge. The only other problem: I have a lot of shoes with me for the summer. Granted, most of them are flip flops, but here's the inventory: 2 pairs of flats, 1 pair of running shoes, 1 pair of skate shoes, 3 pairs of flip flops, 1 pair of sandals, 1 pair of heels. Ridiculous? Yes, I know. But I like to MATCH my shoes! Oh well...Hopefully now I'm done getting shoes for awhile.

Oh yeah! And I bought clips! TWO! So I should be set. No more breaking hair clips for me because my hair is soooo long at the moment and I cannot wear a shower cap in the shower unless it's all on top of my head (and yes, I wear a shower cap in the shower).

Later that day, Sara and I rented movies. Valentine's Day and It's Complicated. Both movies were pretty good. I actually ate a whole bag of popcorn, too, which is pretty rare, since I don't like popcorn.

Saturday...WAIT! All of that happened on Saturday! Except the movie part! Haha the movie part happened on Friday. Friday morning Sara and I went for a walk on East Campus...then the movie stuff. Oops. :)

So Saturday night Sara and I joined Rory and Drew for pool. It was fun. I suck at pool. But whatever.

On Sunday I prepped a brunch for Sara and I--pancakes! Absolutely delicious! I packed up my stuff and headed out with Michelle to her house to live! An actual house! The weather was gorgeous--temps in the 80's! We mowed the lawn right away in her family's RIDING LAWN MOWER! SO much FUN! Haha, I'm easily entertained. It was like driving a go-cart. If I had one of those, I'd want to mow the grass every day, rain or shine, grass or snow! Did some laundry yesterday, too, which was super awesome, since I had accumulated SO much! We had a delicious dinner of chicken stirfry with green peppers, onions, ASPARAGUS, and of course chicken. There were yummy rolls and homemade applesauce! Home cooking is so gooooood! After a lovely walk with Michelle's puppy, we came back and had ice cream with chocolate chip cookies! (I think I'm really gonna love living here!) And besides the food and the great company, I got to sleep in an actual bed that was so soft and fluffy! Ahhhh!

We're thinking about doing some awesome things this week, like having a fire on the back deck (with s'mores maybe!), maybe going to the beach, hanging with Ali B. and/or Allie D., and there's also Sara's Kickball tournament at her apartment complex that we could go watch! No worries, I'm ready and willing to remember everything! I mean, you wouldn't wanna miss out, right?!
