Family Matters

My mom and sister were here. We went and got them on Friday, then brought them back to our place to spend the weekend. Friday night we all went to the Ohio State Fair. Strangely enough, I didn’t make a pig out of myself like I usually do. πŸ™‚ I only had corn, french fries, some of Chris’s turkey leg, and a deep fried Twinkie. The Twinkie was definitely the highlight of the night!!! As well as the designer knockoff sunglasses.

It was good to see my sister. I haven’t seen her in over a year. Since before I had Aidan. That’s a long, long time. πŸ™ But I got to spend time with her–and it was weird after we dropped her off. I kept wanting to turn around and act stupid with her, but she wasn’t there. It’s amazing the void that formed already.

We went to church Sunday morning and that was awesome. I missed having lunch with my friends after, but it’s okay. Mommy and Leah and safely installed at home, and the Davis’s are installed here. πŸ˜‰

And that’s my short update. Pictures soon!

WELCOME HOME, TAMI!!!11oneone

Last night, I threw a Welcome Home Party for the awesome, amazing, curly-haired Tami! I’m so glad she’s back. I’ve missed her. I remember when she left at the end of May. August seemed ages away. And now it’s here and she’s here and it’s so good to have her around again. She bought us a canister of green tea leaves, and a cute little outfit for Aidan.

A bunch of my favorite people showed up for the party: Aimee, Christy, Tina, Rob, Monica, Kelly P, Tyler, Craig, and Abe. I think that’s everyone. Naturally, it was good times. There was karaoke, guitar playing, snacking, talking, lots of laughing, and just plain acting stupid. We had a wonderful time. I love, love, LOVE having my friends over to my place.

Some of the more memorable moments & quotes of the evening were:

Kelly: …and then I thought “Wow, he’s cute.” And he thought “Wow, she thinks I’m cute.”
Kelly telling me about how she and Tyler discovered they liked each other.

Chris: …that’s “f” as in Frank, “f” as in Frank, “f” as in Frank.
Chris pranking Hooked on Phonics and telling them his name was Webster, but spelled webfffsteeeeeer-ih and excercising Chad’s “3 Fs Rule” which states that 3 Fs together in a word means the “F” sound is silent.

Rob: No one can out-gay me.
I wasn’t there for that one, I just heard about it.

Everyone: Where’s Tami? Isn’t she the guest of honor?
Tami showed up 90 minutes later than she was supposed to!

Kelly: Am I the prettiest girl in the world?
Tyler: [Long silence. Stares at Kelly with an “are you serious” expression on his face.]
Hee hee.

Actually, those two are really cute together. At one point, he was sitting on her lap and they were playing Zelda on the SNES, and SHARING THE CONTROLLER. One, single controller. She worked the keypad, he worked the A,B, X & Y buttons. Awww. Wait, I mean, EWW, COOTIES!!!!!!

Abe: That’s because everyone’s staring at my hot body.
Don’t ask. πŸ˜‰

Monica: I don’t want to be Martin. He’s ugly.
Protesting the current Karaoke Revolution character.

Hmm. Tyler kicked my a$$ over and over while playing Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct. That was kind of embarrassing. But I beat Kelly in Karaoke Revolution. Although she says wait ’til next time. You are so on, Kelly! Kidding. She’s a way better singer than I am, so I know she’ll kick my butt. I don’t care though, cause it’ll be fun anyway. Almost nothing can top Tyler singing all the teen-angst Avril-type songs in a high pitched girly voice. It was sweet. Chris did his Cher impression, and Craig turned all gangsta on us. It was awesome. Abe is out of control. That’s the only way to describe him. πŸ˜‰

I hadn’t seen Rob and Monica in ages, so it was great to hang out with them again. I can’t wait to post my pics from last night. Especially the ones of Kelly and her cute new haircut, and the one of Abe and his “hot body.” πŸ™‚ Word.

Lunchtime Chatter

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that it’s Wednesday, lunch time, and I have nothing in my inbox, and only 2 things on my To Do list, both of which are pending further information before I can take action on them. I do have some filing to do, but I’m saving that for this afternoon.

I’m looking forward to tonight. Small group, party for Tami’s return. Good times, man. Good times. I love having people over to my house. I want to challenge someone at a game of Tetris Attack. Who’s up for that? Huh? Huh? You want a piece of me?

Seriously, I’m excited. I have new board games to play, the video game systems are back in commission, and naturally, I am looking forward to the time with my friends.

I’m happy because it’s Pay Day, my bills will be caught up after I pay them tonight, and I’ll be able to breathe the next two weeks. Barring that I do something stupid like splurge on something unecessarily. I’m going to go back to the old-fashioned way. If I want something, I’m going to save up ’til I have the money to pay cash.

And that’s kicking your a$$.
(I’ll give candy to the person who can tell me what movie that was from.)
