So today my sister woke me up at 9:30 a.m. to shower. I told her yesterday I'd go with her to look for some crafting stuff we needed for the invitations for my mom and dad's 25th wedding anniversary. It took about 5 minutes to get out of bed but I did (get out that is). I showered which felt good and woke me up. For a little bit anyway. We left around 10 so that I could be back to go see my girlfriend at noon. For some reason me and my sister got along well today which was a pleasant surprise. Just to give you a little insight with my relationship with my sister sometimes we get along great and the rest of the time we hate each other. That is a long story of which may come up in future posts, but not today. Anyways we went to JoAnn fabrics, yes JoAnn fabrics. It's not my favorite store in the world but it was the first stop to find what we were looking for. We didn't find what we were looking for but Michelle, my sister, found some cool ribbon that was on sale. She's using that for something, although Im not to sure what. We then went to some other craft store across the street and found some more ribbon that she said we needed. We then went next store to the Salvation Army store were I found a cool shirt that I wanted. It was a bud bowl 2001 jersey. I'm probably going back tomorrow to get it. I really liked it. Anyway I dropped her off a K-Mart, so she could look for the whole punch that she needed. I went over to Holiday Inn to apply for a position there. Im currently looking for a job that I get an hourly wage, which I hope to start working again by the end of next week. I'll keep you apprised on that situation. So I filled the application and the employee at the front desk said I should hear back sometime next week. With that I went back out to my car, which for information purposes is a 1991 Chevy Caprice Classic, and picked up my sister at K-Mart. We went back home. I called my girlfriend to see if our plans were still on. She said she just wanted to relax at home and said I shouldn't come over. I was kind of sad, but as always patience is a virtue. My sister asked if I would help her move the christmas stuff out into the side garage. I said I would. She said we start at 1 p.m. which gave me an hour to nap. She woke me up again which once again took about 5 min. We then started moving the christman stuff. If your wondering why we were moving christmas stuff in march it was because we've been locked out of the side garage since I lost the last side garage key. We broke in last week and today was the first day we both had time to move the stuff. Moving the boxes from the basement to the side garage was real fun (yuck). It took about an hour of which I was extremely glad that was over. I turned on the t.v. at that point and started watching Beverly Hills Cop 3. It was on U.S.A. I watched about an hour and a half of that. Somewhere during that point my mom came home. Not sure as to what time that was. My sister asked if she could watch t.v. for a little bit. Suprisingly I agreed and went to my room to do some stuff online. My mom and my sister went out somewhere, not exactly sure as to what they did but they were gone for a little over an hour. During that time I listened to my mp3's, chatted online with anna and bob, and did some fantasy baseball stuff. My mom and my sister came back. I told Michelle that grandma called and that she should call her back. I help bring in the groceries and than went back to my computer. As you can tell by now I'm a pretty big geek. I then told my mom I was going over to bob's and that I wouldn't be home for dinner because I was going to anna's for dinner so that I could meet her parents. My mom thought that was a great idea and with that I said my goodbye's and went down to bob's. I talked to brian for a while and setup the halo competition for tomorrow night after church. He was excited as was I. He went upstairs with steph, his girlfriend, and there 2 year old child abby. I went downstairs to see bob. He was on the phone with his girlfriend danielle, one of my best friends. I went and got a pepsi and that sat down to hear a pretty crappy conversation. I'm not sure what exactly was going on but a few minutes later it was over. He played a few more games of pool online and then after he was done with bobsledding and figure skating we played a hockey game that was rather fun. We finished up with homerun derby. I noticed I needed to go to anna's for dinner and left bob's house. I called jon to make sure he was still going. I know I forgot to mention I called him earlier but oh well. He was on his way and I told him I'd be there in about 5 min. I drove over to anna's which was thankfully an uneventful drive. I got there and anna answered the door. I walked in to see jon on the living room couch and the simpson's on t.v. which is always a good thing. We watched some of the simpsons and then anna asked if we should eat dinner now or after the show. I said it was her call. Somehow I mentioned that I had worship team at 7 p.m. and we decided to eat right away instead of waiting. Me and jon were supposed to meet her parents but they weren't home. We talked a little bit about her hampster. I think her name was mike. I mentioned my hampster speedy that I used have, and how he would escape when he got fat so he would slim down, and how I was sad when he died. We talked a little bit more about pets during dinner. Not sure where the conversation went from there. I wasn't to fond of the food. It was an italian dish of somekind, the name escapes me. But the ricota cheese didn't settle to well with me so I gave the rest of my food to jon. I thanked her for the coke, and told her not to worry about me not liking the food. I mentioned that I wasn't all to hungry to begin with since I had had my first meal of the day around 4 p.m. Somehow I had forgotten to eat until then. I left from there a little before 7 p.m. to go to worship team at church. Practice went ok, but since dirk, the piano player, wasn't there we've still got a lot of work to do before the service on sunday. Pastor Bob set up a show for April 14th at moody for us to sing at, of which I'm really excited about. I left worship team a little before 9 p.m. I called jon and he said he was still at anna's. They were watching a movie and he said I shouldn't come over. He said he'd call me later. I went home then. I played some ps2 and somewhere during that time I emptied the dishwasher. I called jon back around 11:30 and he said he and dave were on there way to newman's work. I was kinda of mad he didn't call me after he left anna's but oh well. I told him that I was going to stay home and that I'd see him tomorrow. I chatted with naomi, my girlfriend (I wasn't sure I said her name before), and we're going to breakfast tomorrow morning. Since then I've been surfing the web and chatting with anna, danielle, and monica online, listening to my mp3's, sending pastor bob the music for "Lord reign in me" and posting my first web log. I hope you like it. Pleasant dreams. gn.
