my life as you know it.

hello world. i have not forgotten you. want an update on my life? too bad, here you have it.

i NEVER plan in advance for weekends. i mean, never. about a 3 weeks to a month ago a co-worker/friend asked me to go to a camp retreat up north and serve in the kitchen. i have some experience in the camp world and wouldn't mind it. and since i NEVER plan that far in advance, i accepted.  a tiny little red flag was lingering in the back of my mind... and then within one week i discovered about 10 other things that came up on.that.weekend. bleh! really?!! prime example for why i never plan.

i was able to act 23 instead of 85 though this weekend. i had a really great weekend.

friday i did a teeny bit of shopping (could hardly call it that, because i walked into the store as the lady over the intercom was announcing the 10 mins. til closing speal). then i stopped at my friend ashley's where we caught up on life, friends, family, boys... ya know, the usual girl chat. then stopped at my friend grant's for about 10 mins. to catch up on his life then came home and crashed onto my glorious bed.

saturday i awoke, tanned then went shopping. ahhh saturday morning! i left with the goal for getting a new sports bra. well..... i came back with 4 candle holders, 3 shelving units, a purse, 144 tea lights, 4 pillows, 1 pair of yoga pants, 1 piece of wall adhesive art, mascara and bronzer. no sports bra. lovely shopping job.  i was so excited about the shelves.. okay yes, im 23 and getting excited about new shelves dates me at about 45 years old. i'm aware of this. (i'll make up for this old age in the next paragraph) i started to assemble the shelves but something didnt look right. issue #1: i didnt have an electric screw driver (i would like this for my birthday please and thank you - yes another thing a 45 year old would want)  #2: i had never used "screw anchors" before. #3. i am a very poor "measurer". i know have about 5 large holes in my wall and no shelves. that doesnt add up. after much frustration i called it a day.

also i meant to go to the gym but the exhausting clearance shopping trip was enough of a work out as it. nap time? yes please. so then after a peaceful nap, i went out with ashley and some of her med school friends. those people are way fun!

sunday i returned to my apartment early morning. normally i would be a church but i A. went out (bad excuse for not going) and B. had to be at my parents at noon (not so bad of an excuse for not going). as i am walking from my car to my building my neighbor is leaving for what i assume, is church. lovely. now i didnt do anything too "shameful" the night before, but i certainly looked like i should be taking my walk of shame: hair in a hair-sprayed-curly mess, glasses on, pj pants and an old high school sweat shirt on - jeans and pillow in hand... classy.  my neighbor stops her van, rolls down the window and says to me "out partying last night, huh?! have a goooood day!" -mind you this woman is about 65 years old. ughhh! i felt my face turn beat red and the world of embarrassment crashed down on me. even though I know the events from the night prior, that poor woman probably thinks entirely different things happened....all i could do was giggle and walk away. really though, she didnt want an explanation or even give me the time to explain before she drove off. oh life.

sunday i also took part in my niece's dedication to the church. very very cool to be apart of that little girl's life. man i love her!

on a side note, there might be a glimmer of hope that there are some decent men left in this world. however, it is still early. i will keep you posted.

la ta di da....my life as you know it.
