So I was moody mc moody all weekend long. Shocking I know.

Ok well really, I was only moody on Sunday because the 16 year old I plan on marrying was in bed until all hours of the day and the apartment was a disaster causing the little patience I had to disappear. Not that I blew up at him or anything, I just dropped off what I had to drop off and left because I knew if I stayed any longer I would explode. So I removed myself from the situation. That is step 1 in anger management.

Saturday was good because it was all sunny and warm and Chad spent 4 hours at my house cleaning out his car. And when I say 4 hours I am maybe exaggerating buy 30 minutes but not really.

We then headed over to my Nonnas house which is a few houses away so Chad could vacuum out his car. I took the time to go around the outside of her house to take pictures of it. It was a beautiful day and even though the garden hasn’t been set up yet everything just looked so pretty. It was one of those moments where I realized that she wont be around forever so I should take some pictures so that I always remember.

That night my Mom and I went out to my cousins for her wedding shower. If there is one thing I realized about my extended family this weekend it is that no matter how much of a family we are or how ‘close’ we are there is always someone who will make it awkward. I’m not really sure how to explain it but there was definitely a couple times this weekend where I said to myself ‘Wow, if I could remove myself from this situation right now I totally would.’ Thankfully there are those who I really am close to that I can always run to for comfort. Family dynamics are always interesting to analyse.

So then it was Sunday.

We had brought a poster to Michael’s craft store to get custom framed a while back and they said it would take a max. of 2 weeks to get done but that they would most likely phone us and tell us it was ready before the two weeks were up. So I waited and realized yesterday that it had been well over two weeks and still no call. I called them up and it turned out that they did have it there and I could come pick it up. So I phoned Chad to see what he was up to and if we could go pick it up. It was after 1 and he was still in bed half asleep and said he wouldn’t be ready for a while if I wanted him to come with me. So I said forget it, I had nothing to do and so I went on an adventure by myself.

The weather was all warm and nice and I thought that since nothing was planned for the afternoon we maybe could have gone for a walk or gone to the park or something. So I picked up the picture and headed over to Chads so we could hang it up and what not. Well as I mentioned earlier he was still in bed laying in a stink fest. There were shoes all over the hall way (my number one pet peeve) and beer bottles and recycling everywhere. This wasn’t the first time I found myself in this exact same situation. I was expecting him to at least be up at this point attempting to refresh the room of his filth. This was not what I found. So I just let him be and went home.

He came over for dinner after sleeping most of the day (I swear) and had dinner at my house with my Aunt and Uncle. He claimed he NEEDED to sleep in all day so that he would have enough energy to socialize that night. I always love his excuses. Ha. But its ok beacuse I still love him. Aww.

Tonight I am going out for din din with my friends Sasha who I haven’t seen in like a year other then a brief visit at our engagement party. She is friggin hilarious so I am very excited for food and Sasha. “I like pineapples, they are fruity yet exotic.” “Oh, you mean like your Dad?”

More pictures from Saturday are on flickr.

Oh and also, Miss Alicia has decided to go and get herself a blog so go over and say Hi!

My mom is cooking Lamb and it stinks.

So the rug party at Ikea. After measuring the space and buying a rug and then deciding that it was too small, we brought it back to Ikea the next morning only to spend half an hour arguing over whether or not to go with our original idea or something else. The amusing part was that we were calling the carpets by their Ikea names, which are pretty random and bizarre, so it made us sounds like a bunch of wackos.

You know you spend too much time together when you have complete conversations in codes and inside jokes and have no one else get what you are talking about.

“The Americans need to stop playing the perimeter and need to penetrate the box”

Chad wanted Dragor which at first I agreed to because it looked good online, but when I saw it in person I was like, NO.

But then I changed my mind and tried to convince Chad to agree with the Hellum because I thought it would be a nice burst of colour in our cave.

We then wondered over to the oriental rug section; Chad’s favorite. He is obsessed with gaudy rugs as you can tell by the one he bought for the bedroom. That’s about as far as I will let his obsession get.

After that we came home and I decided that it was time for a top to bottom apartment cleaning. Since I’m not necessarily there every day and I don’t always feel like cleaning every time I come over I sometimes let a few things go until I can do a massive clean which usually happens on a weekend. However, the past couple weekend we haven’t been home leading me to not clean anything.

So in other words the floors were disgusting.

Chad happily played the computer while I did my thing. I hate cleaning when he’s around cause hes always walking around or in the way some how so if I can kick him out or lock him into a corner of the room while I do it I am happy.

PatZ came over for dinner seeing that he is leaving soon to fly a million miles away and will be gone for the whole summer right up until the wedding and I really don’t know how we are going to function without him even though we haven’t had a chance to get together a whole lot in the past few months its just going to be weird going out places and not having him there. He is such a staple. I <3>

Actually, rumor has it that I was suppose to date Pat instead of Chad back in summer of 06, and I probably would have had Pat not been in Edmonton working. But I guess fate had its hand in all of that.

Yes so this was my first time making a roast, a real roast, and not a Costco roast that is already cook and you just warm it up in the oven. I was pretty excited about it though also terrified because I didn’t want to screw up the meal. I decided to make myself a list of all the stuff I was making and at what time to put it in the oven. That was genius on my part.

Given the chance Pat will always take a picture playing air guitar. Always.

Ah yes so while we were at Ikea I saw the glass shelves I had wanted for the bathroom but didn’t see last time we were there. Plus, every time I go to Ikea I need to buy more things then I need.

Anyways, Chad put them up and they look amazing and make the bathroom actually look like a bathroom now! YAY! The only thing is that they are currently empty because I have not brought over any of my potions and creams yet to full up the space.

So everything turned out ‘cept the Yorkshire pudding but I figured out why and the next time I will do it differently. The were still yummy though but not very fluffly.

It was a successful dinner overall and even had the usual Chad pick on Pat for fun.

After dinner we watched this amazing documentary called Aftermath: The World After Humans. It was damn near amazing and Chad would not stop commenting during it he was so enthralled. Anyways, I became obsessed with it and told everyone I knew about it. I need to buy it on DVD or something because it was SO interesting.

I love documentaries and things of that nature because it makes me learn and feel smart and I love science but lets face it I only understand about half the stuff they teach so if I can watch it on TV and have it explained to me in an interesting way I eat it up.

It is now 7:30 and the sun has come out for the first time in I don’t know how many days and I am loving it. I LOVE sunsets because I am a Vampire and can not handle mid afternoon sun. It’s making me giddy right now.
