Dumb boys, delayed books, broken bones?, and wedding bells!

What a weekend I had!

On Saturday I woke up early to go and paint the shed in the back. I kid you not, this shed seems to keep expanding! I've used almost 3 gallons and it's not done yet! I'm getting so sick of it. lol


After it got too hot to work, I went inside just in time to get a phone call from a guy who wanted to take me miniature golfing. I didn't know him very well, so I did not know what to expect. The activities were fun and if I had been with a guy more right for me, I would have had an absolute blast. The guy was so inconsiderate! I was winning and it bothered him so much that I finally had to quit winning so he'd quit pouting. All he did was talk about himself, and not in a good way. It was like he was trying to sell himself on e-bay. He never asked me anything and when I volunteered information he'd make himself sound better. The whole event just bugged me.

THEN, that night... He informed me that my make-up made me look fake. Who does that? It hurt my feelings. At this point, I was ready to give up on him and tell him I was not interested. However, we had a date scheduled for Sunday night already (mini golfing was spontaneous. The original plan had been only Sunday night.) We were going to go for a walk in the park. I spent all Sunday feeling like I should cancel, but I did not want to hurt his feelings. About an hour before we were supposed to go, he texted me and canceled! He could have at least called me. I thought it was rude to break a date through a text. Oh well. I'm not heartbroken. I politely told him this evening that I'm not interested in pursuing anything.

Anyway, there's my weekend drama! Haha!

Friday night Breaking Dawn was released! Sadly, I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon and am having to wait a LOOONG time to read it. It's still, to this very hour, sitting in a warehouse in Denver waiting to be shipped. I know someone else who pre-ordered one from Amazon and got it on Saturday. Why is mine in DENVER? My mother and I have sent an e-mail to Amazon to complain. There's millions of copies of this book all over Utah Valley and mine has been sitting in a warehouse for 4 days for no apparent reason. BLAH. Almost all of my friends have finished it and I have not even touched it yet! I want to read it! This is driving me crazy! I've heard it's amazing from some and disappointing for others. I hope I love it. I'll miss Bella and Edward.

Saturday evening was Daniel Mason's goodbye party! We had a lot of fun with that. We ate and chatted before playing games. As it got later, things got funnier. We played the What If? game, which I love. I wish I had written down some of the answers we came up with! Some were just priceless! Then we played "Snort" and hardly any of us could contain the laughter that came with that one. Then we watched "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." It was so funny! I came home to buy it online and found out they no longer make it! Luckily I found a brand new one on ebay and won the auction! I love ebay. I feel like a winner so often because of them!

Sunday was crazy! Our Primary had about 12 visitors. Since we only have around 25 active kids, this was a huge increase. Anyway, one visitor was a little guy who was Sunbeam age. He was very unsure about attending Primary, though. His cousin was visiting my class (CTR 7), so I invited him to sit with his cousin during sharing time. I thought he might decide to go with the Sunbeams for class, but no, he wanted to stay with his cousin. So, we had seven 7-year-olds and one 3-year-old today. He kept trying to choke his cousin, and every time I asked him to stop, he'd yell "Be quiet!". My mom (who I team teach with) finally asked him if he'd like to sit under the table, because we cover it with a table cloth so it's kind of like a tent under there. At first he said no, but when I offered him crayons and pictures to color, he decided to sit there. Thank goodness, because it was so hard to teach the lesson with him constantly choking his cousin and yelling at us! It was crazy!

After church, my family and I watched the Pelican Brief. In the movie, two Supreme Court Justices are assassinated. One lone law student (Julia Roberts) writes a theory on who was behind it. She shows the theroy to a friend, who shows it to a friend, who shows it to the FBI, and evntually the President gets it. Every person who was shown her brief ends up killed. She stumbles across an Investigative journalist (Denzel Washington) who wants her story and helps her solve this problem as they protect each other from being killed. I really liked it! It took a while for me to get into it, but it grabbed me and pulled me in. It was an older movie, too, so seeing the silly old school computers they used was very entertaining. I love conspiracy theories too. I'd recommend it!

Today I went to the doctor about the problem with my foot I've been having. Because of all of this shed painting I've been doing, I have been climbing and hanging out on many ladders. Apparently that was not good for my feet. I've been having pretty bad pain in my right foot for about 2 weeks now. I've had it bandaged for a while in the hopes it would get better. We initially suspected a stress fracture, but after x-rays I have no broken bones. My doctor has referred my to a physical therapist because he does not think this will heal on its own. I have an appointment tomorrow.

Shelby's bridal shower was so much fun! Shelby is so adorable and we got to hear all about her and Brandon. She told us about their first date, the first time "I love you's" were exchanged, and the proposal. You can tell she really loves him! We heard all about the wedding plans, reception plans, and honeymoon plans. I'm so excited for her!

Well... that's enough for the day!

It was nice to get your perspective on activities I was involved in this weekend. :) I didn't think about the fact that we laughed through the whole party for Daniel until reading your blog. That was a pretty fun time. And I agree that Shelby was especially cute at her bridal shower!
