House & Puppy & Kitty sitting.

Parents went away to Florida for the week. Left on Sunday before Halloween. Came back on Sunday after Halloween.

Sunday October 25: Mom woke me up before they left to say bye and stuff. J came to visit after church for a little bit. Luckily the dogs didn’t jump on him since he was all dressed nice. Did some laundry. Had a ton of laundry to do, but only did one load. J came over later and we watched ghost busters. I love the giant marshmellow guy. When I went to bed I found out my bed is not very roomy when there are two dogs and a cat who want to lay in bed with you.

Monday October 26: Arguing sucks. Really really sucks. When they don’t actually get talked about and fixed it kind of really sucks. Watched Ghost Busters 2. I forgot what this one was about. All I could remember is there was a baby. I liked it. I still like the marshmellow guy the best.

Tuesday October 27: Watched Halloweentown 1 & 2. I love Disney tv movies. Did some more laundry. Tried to figure out what I needed for my Halloween costume still.

Wednesday October 28: Stayed home by myself with the puppies. Didn’t do much.

Thursday October 29: Cleaned my car with J. It was kind of gross. I kind of hate having to clean a car that I didn’t dirty, but it looks good now so oh well. Went to the halloween store and bought the rest of my costume. I just have to glue some stuff together and then it will be all good. Watched scary tv stuff. It stormed for a little bit. Puppy was scared of thunder. Sad face. When I went to bed he smooshed himself right next to me.

Friday October 30: More laundry. Nailpolish was peeling off so I finally got around to taking it off. Was really hard to get off. Ended up pouring the nail polish remover in the lid and putting my nails in there. Even doing that it was hard to get it to come off. Justin came over later to glue my costume together. We had to glue some earrings to my garters since we couldn’t find any that I liked.

Saturday October 31: Yay! Halloween! I love Halloween. Most people like going out, but I think I like passing out candy and seeing little kids in costumes. My cousin came over to trick or treat in my neighborhood. I had to put the puppies in the basement as soon as I saw people walking outside. We didn’t get as many people as we usually get. Not sure why. After handing out candy Justin and I left to go to a party. Justin was the only person I knew and there was a friend of his there that I met once before. It was a funish party. I think I would have liked it better if I knew more people. I also would have liked it better if I was more comfortable talking to people I don’t know.

At 22 i’m already a grumpy old lady.

Back in my day when I was a teenager I was so not that annoying.*

Yesterday I went to the mall to spend some gift cards that I had. I spent all of them but I still have some left on each card. At delias I had a card where if I spent fifty dollars I would get 25 dollars back. Some of the shirts they have are cute but for some reason I was in the mood for colorful pants. I was going to get some jeans and some reddish purpleish pants. I was looking for a size 9 because last time I bought pants from there that is what size they were. The girl working there asked if I needed help and what size I wore. I told her 9 and she told me I should try on 7. When I went to the fitting room to try them on the girl told me to make sure I come out and show them to her to make sure they fit right. What? I know how they are supposed to fit and I also know how I like them to fit. Also with those pants I was trying on a size 5 & 7. Normally I like my size. There were 3 or 4 other girls in there who I could hear talking about how they weren’t sure if the size 1 or 3 would be better to get. Felt slightly fat. Ugh. One thing that I thought was kind of funny is I now own pants from there that are sizes 5, 7, & 9 and they all fit me really good.

I think I realized why I don’t go to the mall a lot. Teenagers are kind of annoying. I definately need to go places when they are in school. Last spring break I went to the movies with someone and we went during a weeknight and there was hardly anyone there since our spring break was not at the same time as the schools around here. It was nice.

*I am really glad to be done with highschool.

The least organized scavenger hunt ever.

All that hard work you say you did? Didn’t show. All you did was create things to find. Yes you created lots of things to do. Instead of having 6 pages of things perhaps you should have only done 4 or 5 and created some rules. I tried to explain why we were confused. You completely ignored me. If you do this again it will suck just as much because it will probably be just as confusing since you didn’t want to listen to why it was confusing. I only feel kind of bad for yelling at the boys. Regardless of who starts things all people involved are arguing. Why did everyone need to be rude even when someone is talking normal. All I said was that I know we didn’t do exactly what it said, but we wanted to take a picture and see if maybe we could get partial points. I said it in a casual joking way. Your response was not very polite. While we were eating J was doing something overly obnoxious and I asked him to stop. He did. Someone made some comment about him listening to me. J and I aren’t dating and he is willing to listen to me because he understands sometimes other people should be listened to. Other people in that group need to learn to listen better. How is everyone talking over everyone ok? That is why at the end of the night everyone was confused. One person would be making up one set of rules while someone else would be making another. At the end of the night I kept telling J to quit arguing about pictures. It’s clear that some of the people weren’t going to listen and I didn’t want to listen to the yelling since certain people seem to have anger issues. I wonder how people act when others aren’t around because when there are people there you’re kind of terrible.

If I planned a scavenger hunt here is how it would go: Get everyone emails. Create list of rules. Email everyone rules. Ask for feedback on the rules. Create list of objects to bring back. Create list of pictures to be taken. When printing lists for group have two seperate categories. One that says pictures to take (use digital camera). The other category would be physical objects that need to be brought back (do not use digital camera). I would also print out the rules and everyone would get a copy of the rules. They would not be allowed to be changed at this point. When we meet before we start I would give everyone the list and rules and find out if there is any confusion. I would also meet at a neutralish place. Would this be a lot of work? Yes. However, I would not be happy with myself if I only did something halfplanned. If I needed help I would pick a second reliable person who could help.

One more thing… When we were leaving J walked out and wasn’t holding the outside swingy door because he thought I had it. I was shutting the hard inside door. The swingy door hit just above my eye. Instant headache. Such a wonderful ending that kind of sums up how I felt by the end.

Oh there is another thing. I told J that next time he asks if want to do something I want to know how well planned it is. If it isn’t I’m going home. I had fun however dealing with all the yelling isn’t worth it.

Feet are kind of the worst thing ever.

& No i’m not joking.

Yesterday I went to Js house to swim. Somehow we started talking about feet. I do not like feet at all. Sometimes they bother me more and sometimes I can be fine with them. Yesterday was not one of the days where I am fine with them. Unfortunately he thought it was hilarious. Apparently I am like the girl who was on Maury and had a chicken phobia. Slightly embarassed about that, but yesterday he was kind of right.

Ahhhhhhh (picture of kid with hands on face goes here)

Yup. I was home alone for the weekendish. Thursday stepdad went to California. Friday mom went to California.

Friday: Mom left kind of early because she had stuff to do before her flight. J came over. We went to the mall. I bought a dress form Delias and shoes from Payless. I’m not really sure what the shoes will match with. I have a habit of buying things and not owning anything that matches it.

Saturday: Neighbor was having a party. I had to let the dogs out in the front yard. They were good.

Sunday: Driving with dad. I still don’t really like driving but I’m more comfortable with having to do it. J came over. : )

Monday: The only day that it was just me and the dogs and the cat. Mom sent me a text that said she was eating in the same restaurant as Ramona from Real Housewives.

Tuesday: Driving with dad. Teaching real world driving is good and all, but until I take my test I would like to get in the habit of driving passable for driving test. Teaching both ways is confusing and you contradict yourself when telling me I’m doing things “wrong”. Mom and stepdad came home. Puppies were very happy.
