A Little Overdue...

Wow. My apologies. I have been going nonstop, and when I have a break I always think about updating, but I don't have the energy. When you're bowling, going to school, and working, free time means nap time. It's been 20+ days since I've updated. Geeze. I'm a slacker, but hey, I'm here now. That's all that should better. Since it's been so long, I've had to make a list for myself of what I've done each day so that I won't leave anything out. And since I have sooo many days to cover, I'm going to do a week at time. Starting with Saturday May 29 - Saturday June 5. This way it won't be too overwhelming. And hopefully, since it's been so long, I won't be as detailed. I just have a good memory sometimes and like to include everything, haha. So let's get to it.

Saturday, May 29: This is the last day that I had posted, and I made it seem like I had plans for that night. Well, I looked at iCal and I didn't have any notes. So the eventful night I was hoping for probably never happened. [Editor's note: I found a bowling sheet from this night. Those must have been my plans. I bowled a 114, 115 and 98.]

Sunday, May 30: All I remember is going to Grammie and Papa's with Mom. The Atlanta Rhythm Section and Blackberry Smoke were playing at the amphitheater, so I went with Papa and his friend Jack (I think that's his name). The concert was fun. I liked the opening band, Blackberry Smoke, better though. It was nice just hanging out and being outside. Although the weather was cool and humid, so I couldn't decide if I wanted my jacket on or not. I got some nachos and cheese, too. I had been craving them for weeks, so that was nice. I had a picture from the night that I just tried to upload, but for some reason it wouldn't work. Darn. It was a really good one too! Ugh. That's weird. [Editor's note: I'm trying to upload the picture again because I found a different way to do it. Here it goes... DARN IT! Didn't work obviously.]

It worked finally. Here is my and my Handsome Papa at myself the concert =) I adore this picture!

Monday, May 31: Just so you know, I started trying to update this like over a week ago, and here I am in July now and still haven't finished May. So, the 31st on my list has "IDK" written under it. Apparently I don't remember what I did that day. Of course I hung out with Chris. He worked. I probably bowled. Which reminds me, I have all my score sheets, so let me see if I have one from this day, and I'll let you know how I did :) Hold on a sec. Found it. I bowled a 136, 111, 122, 123, 111. That's like the first time my lowest score wasn't below 100, 110 in fact. I averaged 120.6, had 8 strikes and 14 spares. That's an improvement. I'm definitely understanding my ball more now. Moving on.

Tuesday, June 1: All I wrote down for this day was having class and eating Red Robin with my dad. I wasn't impressed with Red Robin at all. At least they have bottomless fries I guess. Of course, I saw Chris that day I'm sure. What can I say, we love to see each other. Is that so wrong?

Wednesday, June 2: A very fun day for me. I don't know if I can say the same for Chris. This is the day I got Hannah Akers to take pictures of Chris and I. I graduated with her, and she took pictures of Bek, Mel and myself last summer. She's a really nice girl who takes awesome pictures. I'm going to try to pick three favorites to put on here. If you ever need pics, she's a great choice. She gives a lot of direction and makes you feel comfortable. As for the pictures. ARE YOU SERIOUS. THEY AREN'T WORKING EITHER. I'm gonna kill this darn blog. In fact, let me try moving all this into another post to see if the fact that I've been doing this over a gagillion days is getting in the way. It worked!!!! Yay! Okay, so I picked four. Sue me. Now let me try Sunday's picture again... It worked too. Awesome! Now, continuing with Wednesday. Oh, never mind. I didn't have anymore notes for that day, so I guess that's it. I finally got the pictures June 16. We were having meeting time and technical difficulties. But they turned out great, so I'm happy.

Thursday, June 3: My first night of league. How nerve-racking, huh? I was terrified. We got team #13 and named ourselves UR FACE. It's me, Chris, Dad, and Jim. They are all great and I'm the handicap, ha. I bowled a 105, 139, 94. Giving myself a 112 average. I got 4 strikes and 5 spares. We won every game! Earlier in the day, Mom told me that she had the trailer rented down in PCB, but she said her friend couldn't come. She asked if I wanted to take a friend down and go with her. So I asked Bek, and we planned on leaving the next day! It was a fun and spontaneous decision.

Friday, June 4: That day I went to work for a bit, and then Mom and I headed to get Bekah. She and I slept most of the way up there. We just relaxed that night. We ate at a Mexican restaurant. It wasn't too great service-wise, but the queso was awesome! Then we went back and Bek and I got our butts kicked in Phase 10. The weather wasn't too bad. Here's a quote from a story that Bekah told Mom and me on the car ride to the beach:

Bekah: I can never be a sand digger because of her. [Of course this was a joke the rest of the weekend. Poor Bek, we picked on her bad.]

Saturday, June 5: Bek started the day off by clogging up the since with Ramen Noodles. Haha. Mom had fun with that. We had a fun-filled day planned for ourselves. We started with the beach. But before we made it off the porch, we realized Mom locked us out. Somehow we got the door open though. Thankfully, the BP oil spill hadn't reached there yet, although it was in Pensacola I believe. We laid out and such. Mom took a walk, of course. Bek and I played in the water. Doesn't that make us sound like kids? But that's pretty much what we were doing. It was fun. When we left the beach, I looked like I had a great tan, but about two hours later I was itching everyone and my beautiful tan turned to sunburn. Needless to say I was burnt the rest of the weekend and it all turned back white. Ugh. What a waste of time. We went to the mall. I bought another Joker blanket, I got Dad a pack of four Beatles drinking glasses for Father's Day, I got Chris a CD holder, I bought some comfy shorts with pockets from Wet Seal, and Bek and I got out picture in the booth thingy. It was a successful day. We ate at this whole-in-the-wall Bek knew about called Flamingo Joe's. I got a turkey cheese burger and fries; it was pretty good. I spilt my water there. So we all had one mess up point for the day, haha. I also got a cute airbrush shirt from Wal-Mart. I have to get a shirt every time I'm out of town in a place like the beach or Gatlinburg. That night, Bek and I got our butts kicked again. Not only at Phase 10, but Scattergories and Racko as well. Poor Bek, she didn't understand the concept of Racko and was not going to win. Haha. We didn't know this until the end, and she saw my mom's rack. It was hilarious. Here are some quotes from the day:

Bekah: [After some of the ocean water splashed in her face] Ew, I don't like it. It's salty.

Me: That's because it's the ocean...

Bekah: My little Asian tummy cried for days! [Describing her experience with some food she ate, ha]

The previous quote was soon followed by, Bekah: Just thinking about that makes my rectum hurt.

Well there! Finally I was determined enough to finish a post. Also, about my random green colors. I just do it so it's not all the same purple words over and over again. I like to mix things up. Also, I changed the editor I use on here, and I don't have the same color options. So my last posts and all the ones after it will be a different green than they were before. Just fyi. Hope I didn't bore you to death! Have a great weekend.

-peace.
