WHAT???!!! It's been how long since I've updated WormSongs?! Well here I am! I guess we'll do this in topic paragraph/sentence form yeah?
Memorial Day Weekend: I had a ton of fun at my Aunt and Uncle's Place! We had pizza hut one night and the most delicious burgers the other nights. Austin got to fly his new Mackinaw kite and landed it on top of the high school so we had to drag it down and sure enough it was broken. Aussie and I also made a slip and slide with a tarp and the spray setting on the hose. Tater, the amazingly obese purebred chocolate lab, found it fun as well. We watched the cassopolis Memorial Day Parade where my aunt and uncle knew EVERYBODY... things like that happen when you live in a town just slightly bigger than Vernon.
Back In Chicago: I got home from my long weekend and Cat met me outside my building with my keys. She went upstairs with me in case Megan was there... Let's face it, I had a week left and I definitely didn't want any confrontation now! Cat hung out for a few minutes and the trekked a block away to her new place. How sucky is that? I am moving in a week and now Cat lives a block away... BUMMER!!! My last week in Chicago was a blast. I got to sit for one of my occasional families and both girls were really sad to see me go. One of them gave me half of her friendship rock and the other was actually really good for me when I put her to bed. The family gave me a nice card and some goodbye money and then payed me extra well when I left that night. I also made sure to hit up Clarke's this week ad managed to order everything on the menu that is in my rotation when I go there... I ate Clarke's for breakfast and lunch the next day!
Vaheys: The Vaheys took me out to dinner Thursday night and gifted me with cards and goodbye money and some killer pictures that Ellie drew for me. Friday sucked!!! David had a playdate for a bit so Ellie and I decided to take an extra-long walk (extra-long for kids at least) and so we walked over to the beach and snapped a bunch of pictures and collected some mighty cool shells. We even picked up some shells to give to David since he wasn't with us. I went to soccer practice with them that night because I had too much stuff to lug onto the train to my place so I waited there for my mom to pick me up. When she got there I was bombarded with hugs from the kids and when I finally got into the truck to leave my mom was on her own figuring out how to get out of Hyde Park because I was busy staring at them out the window. I cried the whole way back to my place...
Friday Night: My mom and I got to my place only to find that the leasing office closed early so I wasn't able to get a parking pass.... FUCK!!!! They tow every night so we sure as hell weren't going to park there anyway. The only other indoor parking garage close to us told my mom the truck is too big so we had to settle for outdoor and hope the truck was still there in the morning, still had all of it's components, and that it didn't rain! Well... no sooner did I meet my mom at the parking lot to walk to dinner with her and it starts pouring! We got to dinner soaking wet and Cat and her friend Rob just laughed and offered us some guacamole. We had our dinner and then hurried back to my place to change clothes and fix hair and makeup before my goodbye shindig began. It was a sucky turnout I'd say. My most important friends were there I guess... Cat, Ash, and Shelli... but after awhile megan, ronnie, and danielle locked themselves in megans room and had their own party and Adam and Glenn never came, and Gian was working too late to come... it was fun but I really really would have liked to see Adam one more time. The party ended I went and jumped in my tiny bed with my mom.
Goodbye Chicago/Hello Owosso: I woke up to my mom's loud snoring... she ended up moving to the floor and I swear it never got dark that night because I woke up at 4 am feeling all ice a refreshed and ready to go! WTF??!!! We packed everything up and loaded the truck and then we met Cat and Rob for one last brunch at Yolk. It was delicious and we had the best waiter ever and it was sad to leave Cat when we parted at the corner... Mom and I went upstairs to grab shades and purses and then headed off to Navy Pier to ride bikes. We went on a 3 hour long bike tour of the northern lakeshore area, which was mainly Lincoln park, and had a fun time (especially when mary fell off her bike and the one asian lady in the group came over to her with a road rash kit... of course the asians are fucking prepared for their bike trip...). After our bike trip we hustled into Build-a-Bear and I made a goodbye Chicago bear. Well, she's really more of a summer beach babe bear but whatever. We took the water taxi back to the aquarium and walked into my apartment for the last time. I cleaned out Pig's cage, vacuumed the room, and we left Chicago. I was awake for awhile and then I must've fallen asleep since i woke up as we were going by Kalamazoo... I got home, enjoyed seeing Owosso, gave Princess a nice pet down, unloaded the truck, and was off to see the boys! I hung out with Gordon, John, and Josh and we hookahed a lot. End of story. The boys were drunk, we smoked 2 bowls in the barn, I had one drink so we could play kings, and then we had another bowl in the house. It was really awesome seeing the boys again so soon and I drove home and fell asleep pretty pumped!
Home Sweet Home: Since coming home, I have been with Addy every day (Addy is my Owosso Cat and Cat is my Chicago Addy) and we have done too many thing to even think about. I'm sure typing this section will take me quite some time... We hung out when I got home, we hung out thursday night at and after bowling when barb was doing hair at my place, we hung out Friday night of Curwood since I had Cha, Hannah, and Logan and the kids parade got cancelled. We ended up playing ping pong, foosball, and twister in Jeanette's basement. Later I gave the kids back to barb and picked my drunk birthday girl mom up from Jumbo's and took her home. Addy, Jeanette, and I went to see Kung Foo Panda, which was hilarious, and then once again I went home to bed... I spent Saturday with my mom and Doug at pancake breakfast and the craft area and watching the parade. I talked to add that day but she had to work so i didn't see her at all. I watched the bands at curwood, saw Jessica Justice and Nick Bruckman, and my night got super fun when I met up with Thom Kimble and we walked around Curwood to see all the "fun" people and to catch up on the past couple years! Jason and John called me and were bored so they met us in the parking lot at my car and we dropped Thom off at home and went to Teal's for a party. I had been home for a week and it was basically nonstop! The next week I spent by the pool with addy. We got killer tans and hardcore vacuumed the pool out so it was swimmable the next day! Mike Called me Monday night on his way home from training the lifeguards at Girl Scout Camp and told me all about the canoe trip that him and Lassiter would be taking that week. I was going to pick them up on Friday in Bay City but I got a call Thursday night (I was hardcore asleep at like 9pm...) and woke up Friday morning remembering a call and that maybe they were already home and something about hooters... or maybe i dreamt it?? I talked to mike and yes they were home and had went to Hooters on their way back. That was last week.
This Week: I have been with Add every day. We have started taking 4-5 mile walks in the AM or PM and then I have been getting ready for a garage sale. Last night we walked to Emerson and attempted to pay Tennis. We both suck really bad but it was fun so we will keep practicing!
This Weekend: FUN FUN FUN this weekend I have my garage sale Friday and Saturday mornings, Frankenmuth Friday night, and Gordon's Birthday bash on Saturday night. I'm EXTREMELY bummed that I can't go to Cat's g=for the Camp Rock party on Friday night but i'd have to leave my sale early, and miss Zehnders, and then leave Cat's early because I have to be here to open up the sale Saturday morning. I'm bummed but there's not a whole lot I can do... Tonight, by the way, I am having a fire at my place complete with smores and hookah and then Add, Heather, and I are having a slumber party here because we are girls and that's what girls do!
SOOOOOOOOOOO That's been my life the past month and it will only get more exciting this summer!
P.S... I am working at Domino's again! This time as a Shift Runner/Shift manager!!!! I go in today to do some training! I'm pumped!
