Rest of the Weekend

SO, Friday I was sick. Saturday, I was feeling a little under the weather, but I took Leyla over to my parent's house and then went out with my mother. We first checked out a consultant party. We had agreed to not buy anything, but ended up buying some Pampered Chef. My mom actually bought it, but I think I will get a couple of things for Christmas! We then went out to a stamping party. YES you read that right. My mother and I went to make cards out of stamps. I actually think they turned out pretty cool even though I got a little snicker from my artist boyfriend. Saturday night, I took it easy and spent some time with Leyla. Sunday I was supposed to go to church, but I woke up with a migraine (again). I took it easy until Ryan picked me up to go to his dad's house to watch the game. What a sad game! :) We then came back to my place and hung out and watched television until he went home. Before we began to really get into the Sunday shows, Ryan had put one of Leyla's favorite toys in a empty pop box. While we were watching "Family Guy" we noticed that Leyla's head was stuck in the box. It was the funniest thing. She stopped and stood still for several minutes confused about what to do. She then would shake her head rapidly. Don't worry she eventually got the box off herself, but we had a little fun with it in the meantime. So, for good laughs, look at the pics of Leyla with her head stuck in the box. I also decided this weekend that I was going to sign up for classes at UW River Falls to get my Counseling license so that I can have more options when it comes to jobs next year. I am not happy at my job, so I am going to start applying in April or May for new jobs (I have applied for some county jobs before then, because it takes forever for the county to respond).My Dorky, cute puppy

WooHoo!!!

SO, can I brag! ALIKA AND EARNEST ARE MOVING HOME!!! I know this is seriously going to be hard on Alika's dad and stepmom, but I can't help but being ecstatic. So I just had to brag. So far my weekend has been a rollercoaster ride, because yesterday (Thursday) I ran into some old friends from high school that I had not seen in 10 years (Jeff and Brad). I also got to see my friend, Rob again. Ryan and I had gone to Bunkers with another one of our couple friends and we ran into all sorts of people I knew. When we were leaving, Erica was just arriving. Tonight, I was supposed to hang out with Ryan, but I think I have a touch of the stomach flu. I am going to bed soon, because my mom and I are supposed to spend the day together. But before I leave, I have to tell a naughty (and funny) Leyla story. I was on the computer tonight IMing one of my friends. We decided to call it a night, so I went to check on Leyla. Leyla had decided it would be fun to unravel half a roll of toilet paper and rip it into little pieces in the bedroom and hallway. She was going to sleep with me tonight (and probably still will), but right now she is in her kennel in the bedroom and knows that mama is NOT happy with her. I know it was because I was ignoring her and slept for most of the day. My fault. Should have taken a pic, but was too mad at Leyla.

Poem

So, here is a poem that I wrote about Ryan:

I don't know how to begin to tell you ,
just what you mean to me!
I could tell you that I melt everytime you look at me,
with those amazing brown eyes!
I could tell you that it's how you hold me in your arms,
and make me feel safe!
I could tell you that it's the soft kisses!
I could tell you it's the cute nicknames you have for me!

Do I say I love your passion for life?
Do I say that it's how I love to spend time with you?
Do I say I love how close you are to your family?
Do I say it's your love for kids?
Or do I just say that I have fallen for you?

Last two weekends

So, I have been busy. I have been spending a lot of time with Ryan. Last weekend we went to see Borat (a movie). It was hysterical. We then stayed in for the rest of the weekend. This weekend, Friday night we stayed in. I was too tired to do anything. Saturday we attempted to go see one of his co-workers bands perform. I say "attempted" because Ryan fell asleep. I called him around 8:30, so we did not get out to the show until about 10:30. His co-worker went on at about 9:30-10. We left there and went to Pizza Luce. Sunday, I went to church to help out. I worked it out with them that I would still volunteer but step back on my responsibilities. I was getting a migraine every time I went and I helped out for at least 10 hours a week. I am also getting a part-time job that will be every other weekend. After church, I met Ryan and Erica at Old Chicago to watch the Vikings/Packer game. I wish I had not bet on the game, because the Vikings lost (AGAIN). I am a sore Vikings fan today! I then came home and hung out with Leyla until I put her to bed. So, I have not been good at updating this website, but will try. More later.

Halloween weekend

So, I guess I was supposed to do something this weekend for Halloween. I chose not to. On Friday night, Amy and I went out to dinner and then we met up with Ryan and his cousin and went and saw "Man of the Year" with Robin Williams. It was a good movie, but not the best movie I have seen in the past couple of months. "Black Dhalia" was definitely better. We then went back to Ryan's house and hung out with Ryan and his cousin for a while. Saturday, I went out to dinner for my friend, Shani's birthday. We had talked about going to a movie afterwards, but after dinner she decided she was too tired. I decided I did not want to go home, so I went over to Ryan's to hang out (notice a theme here?). Sunday, I went out to dinner with Ryan and his bestfriend and his girlfriend. I ate out so much this weekend, that now for the coming weekend, I have to stay in. I will write more later (and will hopefully have pictures soon).
