its been awhile...as it always is between my blogs, it seems. my week was pretty good. No school so that defines good right there. Mike came over monday and we went to see LOTR...it was my second time seeing it because I saw it on sunday with my parents. Good movie, but long. no matter. Then we tried to go shopping but I was pretty tired so we just went home after buying like..one thing...the lines at best buy were inSANE...as were the lines everywhere else. Mike slept over monday night and tuesday we got some hardcore shopping done. We went to the mall and got all our last minute shopping DONE. Then we came home and wrapped it all. I love going shopping when you actually get what u set out to get. If I dont get what I set out to get it just frusterates me.
Wednesday I cleaned my room (which is already a PIG sty again...go figure I haven't even been home to mess it up) and did other things I needed to get done until Christmas eve service, which I played the maracas for, to accompany the kids' singing. :-P. EVERYONE was at church, as they usually are on one of the two days everybody goes to church (christmas and easter). I talked to a few ppl I haven't talked to in awhile so that was nice. Then I went home and watched 'a christmas story' and 'its a wonderful life' Classic. I think I watched a christmas story like 3 times actually thruout the night because they play it for 24 hours. that movie is great. Then I went to Candlelight service and at the last minute my dad decided to go with me. It was nice, I love candles, and I love music, so I love candlelight service :)
Thursday was christmas of course silly! It was a good christmas. I got a lot of cute little things that I wasn't expecting and my family all loved the gifts I got them. After we had our family christmas at home we went to my grandma's to celebrate with my dad's side.
Friday we went to my grandpa and grandma's to celebrate with my mom's side. The present opening on my mom's side was lame this year because there were only three presents under the tree due to the rule that once cousins hit 18 they dont get presents from aunts and uncles anymore, and my grandparents hand out checks instead of wrapping things. So there were only 3 kids there uner 18 so it went really quick thats for sure. my cousin caitlin came home with us friday night to spend the weekend with my sister. Her and my sister were being pretty silly. Caitlin dressed up like a fat french lady and they found it quite hilarious.
I spent most of saturday cashing in gift certificates and going shopping.
Sunday I went over to mike's for his birthday. I got a speeding ticket on the way up in walworth. I was going 40 in a 25 zone. That place is a speed trap to begin with. And wisconsin cops suck:P. But I guess I deserved it, I WAS going over the speed limit. BUt i didn't even notice because I was too busy looking for route 14. Excuses excuses I know. But 181 dollars. grr. my first speeding ticket too. out of state. hmm. When I got to mike's I met his family because I've never met them before. They were all really nice. Then we went to piggly wiggly to get some chips and stuff and I ran into this girl that I hung out with at camp phillip fall retreat sophmore year and that I haven't seen since then. It was kinda weird, but I waved and went over and said hello. She seemed highly confused as to why I was in beaver dam at a piggly wiggly when she knew i Lived in IL...lol. After awhile elliott came over, and then one of mike's sister melissa's friends came over, and we all walked to a video store to get a few movies, but they didn't have some so we had to drive to another one. We watched catch me if u can and then jess and karen came over. It was a good time we watched movies...or tried to...and took a walk down to the dam around 2 or 3 am. On the way we played leap frog and kidnapped an abadoned christmas tree by the side of the road which we named and dragged along behind us about half way. hehe. then we tried to get to sleep. I did sleep for like an hour or two, but woke up again to watch a movie, and jess and karen left. I dont think I actually fell into a good sleep until about 7:30 or 8 and then I slept until 10:30 or 11. So I was pretty tired on my 2 1/2 hour drive home. I played a lot of music...loud...and except for a slight mixup in fort involving 12, I got home alright.
so ya thats prety mcuh short hand of my last week. I should write tehse things daily so I can get more in-depth :-P hehe.
