while the parents were out: week 1

the parents are off galavanting in utah. playing grandparents to lily and two white dogs. meanwhile, i hold down the south road plantation, coordinating real estate showings, dog pick ups and drop offs, and complete control of the remote AND thermostat.

i bumped up the heat to 72. mom would have died. dad would have shed his sweater.


seth and christina came over and we watched THE GAME. i had to leave. it was too intense. this prompted seth to quote mom, circa early 1990's blazer game playoffs, "i can't handle it!!" *runs from tv room*

friend came over. the dogs freaked out. two minutes later, the pizza guy came. dogs freaked out. i left a big tip.




i drove my car until the the gas gauge rested on empty.
i commended driving dad's car. until the gas
gauge rested on empty.

again- mom would have died. dad would remark "that's what i do!"


spent quality time with maddox, griffin, reese, AND angus.
reese in polka dots=epitome of adorability.
griffin showing off how strong he was by lifting his nerf gun over his head over and over again=i want a bunch of little griffins one day.
maddox cheering at the end of the chronicles of narnia when the battle was won=me cheering along as well and yelling "yay! aslan!"
angus dry heaving in the quiet of the night=me almost calling aaron, who was in the middle of a movie theatre.

31 steps. my good friend moved to a new apartment that was 31 steps up. it was okay though. we didn't get hot. there was a downpour the entire time. then she bought us lunch. i love her.

watched incpetion with a friend ("see? it's a dream within a dream within a dream within...."). said friend fixed the abnormally loud bass on our tv. i cheered and then was chagrined when he showed me how easy it was to fix.

mom will finally be happy.
