Marco? Oh, Marco fell into a cement mixer full of quicksand

Standard

First things first, I need to apologize to you all. I promised many things I did not deliver. I followed Cogsworth’s advice.

“You know, the usual: flowers, chocolates, promises you don’t intend to keep.”

So,  just a quick airing of my shame: Went onto pinterest to hopefully find that exact meme. Spent so much time on pinterest I had to log back in to blog. Le sigh.

A recap of le weekend, picking up where we left off:

Friday: Ending up going sundress and flats. Mainly because when Friend came back to apartment, the exchange went like this:

Friend: Soooo, everyone’s wearing sun dresses and flats.

Me:….damnit. Which dress should I wear?

(For the record, I have like 4 sundresses, either black or white, three patterned and one pure white that my lovely Mom brought me back from her trip to Rome. No way was a wearing a white dress to a Mexican restaurant, so my options were slightly limited.)

Friend: Umm. That one.

Me: Ok.

So then we all pile in cars and go to this cute Mexican place in Town and call it good. I however, totally and completely forget to get a picture of my tortilla soup because I am an idiot. Plus, it was tortilla soup. I can make better tortilla soup, one preferable without green onions. Staff sings Happy birthday to Friend 2 and put crazy awesome somebrero on her that she gives back, despite my pleadings for her to keep it. Go back to Friend, Friend 2 (Birthday girl), and Friend 3’s apartment (they live together) and have ice cream cake where I intentionally gluten-ized myself. It was on accident at first, because I wasn’t even thinking about it. But it happened. My body and immune system must’ve been in a forgiving mood because I didn’t have a vomiting migraine or anything the next day. However, I dare not put my life and ability to go 2 minutes without running to the bathroom at risk ever again. Plus I hate migraines. Proceed to go back to Apartment and watch Arrested Development for hours.

SO EXCITED FOR NEW SEASON AND MOVIE. SO EXCITED.

Saturday: Wake up late. Missed message from Mom saying “weren’t you coming home this morning?” Whoops. Wake up. Pack. Drive home. Help pressure wash house. Go hang out Friend. Be background support for Dante’s Inferno levels. Go to see “Memphis” the play with Uncle G (short for Gibbs. He is Gibbs. More later) and out to a FANTASTIC DINNER where I could have taken food pics, but since it’s a Morton’s, the whole looking like a noob thing is frowned upon. Get home.

Sunday: Sleep. Help paint. Dance with family and sing along to DISNEY PANDORA. Go spend day with Friend. More Dante, walks, make dinner, jokes and laughs. Head home. Chill with family. Pick up Guy who needed a ride back to school, go back. Get back. Relax.

Monday: Migraine ate my day. Until around one, when I finally started feeling better. The problem is now I’m up. Because I slept. Covered for Friend. Ran errands. Yay.

By the way, new favorite song between family and I and Friend. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSBFehvLJDc

I’m trying to think of something to rant about, but really can’t think of anything. When I was trying to put some bucket on a shelf, the bucket fell back off and hit me only in the nose. This should tell you something about my face. My mother quipped that she didn’t think I was Barbara Streisand when I told her. Hardee-har-har.

Umm. I have to sing part of The Do-Re-Me song in Beginning Vocals tomorrow. This should make for an interesting post. So in summery, today’s post is somewhat not exciting, but the one Wednesday will be awesome. I do intend to keep this promise. I will even post food pics.

Til Wednesday,

Aurora
