wow this was all saturday?

oh history! what will i do? so i woke up around 7:15 (sleeping in for me) ate breakfast and decided to get started on my history project. see i'm the type of person who likes to get up, get ready and get out. i don't really ever like to just sit at home all day in my p.j's (well occasionally). anyway, right after eating breakfast i sat down at my computer to start this dreaded project and really started making headway on it. i put on my headphones and just worked. we were supposed to go pick up my cousin, justin, from whitter collage around 4:00 and were planning to leave around 3:30. being in my "working mood" i didn't look at the clock until my mom calls upstairs that were leaving in 15 min. i'm sitting there thinking "where are we going" i looked at the clock and was like oh shoot its 3:15! i jump up and then look down at my self...ummm. i was still wearing a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and my hair looked like it had just been through a wind tunnel. i ran, jumped in the shower, got out, threw on a pair of jeans and a shirt, put my sopping wet hair in a ponytail and ran out the door. all in 10 min. i was quite proud of myself for moving so quickly.

when we were like 5 min away my step dad calls justin to tell him to walk out to the front of campus, which is on a moderately busy street corner. gary (my step dad), if you know him, you'll know he likes to mess around. so we pull up and see justin across the street. my step dad was like okay lets pretend like we don't see him. my mom and i are like "sure whatever" so justin starts crossing the street and gary makes a sharp u-turn and pull along the opposite curb. justin, being confused, turns around and starts running to the other side where we parked. he was coming toward the door and gary makes another u-turn. so justin keeps running back and forth in the middle of the street trying to get in the car. meanwhile my mom and i are screaming that justin will get run over.....it was interesting....my family's strange but hey there's never a dull moment.

after gary finally let justin into the car we went out to dinner at "bubba gumps"; i had never been there before. if you guys have ever scene the movie "forest gump" that's what the restaurant is based on.....a little creepy actually. everywhere you look there's a line or picture from the movie and they have tv screens playing it in the background. oh and your waiter (or waitress) asks you trivia questions from the movie. they were a little obsessive. it was fun though and the food was good.

i also went to the movies tonight with my mom and justin. we saw "the pursuit of happyness" with will smith(and no i did not spell that wrong. that's how the title is spelled). i think this was the first movie i have scene in theaters since "pirates of the caribbean 2" last summer....wow i don't get out much....well actually i do, just not to the movie theater. which doesn't bug me. any who the movie was good, but sad and long. it demonstrated some good qualities and a good moral. i guess i would recommend it if you can sit that long. it was a long movie and it moves pretty slow. not bad though, and it made me cry.

so yep yep that was my day....gosh it seemed really long. that's a good thing though. has anyone else had that feeling like the days are moving slow but then you look back and your like "wait that was still today. that seems like a really long time ago". like friday seemed like a lifetime ago and it was only yesterday! hmmm? oh well i don't really know what i'm saying....i'm rambling now so i think i'll stop here for the night. sorry this post is so long and all over the place.

have a fantastic sunday tomorrow! :)
