low key weekend

so this weekend was busy but low key. which was exactly what i needed.

chris left on friday. he came by in the morning and woke me up to say bye. it was a very tearful goodbye. and not fun at all. i knew i would probably cry a little, but i didn't realize how much i was gonna miss him until i saw him drive away and realized that would be the last time in a long time that i will see that. after he left, i couldn't really fall back asleep so i got up and tried to be productive. i went and got my brake light fixed. then i came back and did a little bit of cleaning. then i got a phone call from shayna saying she wanted to do my hair in the afternoon instead of on saturday afternoon. so i went to tutor with elizabeth and then went straight to the salon. it took a lot longer than i expected. i got about 5 inches cut off and had blonde and caramel highlights put in. it is a lot shorter than i'm use to and i'm not completely convinced that i like it, but from what everyone else tells me, they like it. they're probably just trying to be nice lol once i got back, eric and alfie met me at my apartment and we ventured over to the tattoo parlor. yes that's right, i got my second tattoo. eric and alfie just couldn't resist - they just had to get one too lol after facing the pain of getting a tattoo, i wasn't up for partying so instead i had a few friends over and we just had a chill night of beer pong and guitar hero.

saturday and sunday weren't as exciting as friday...i didn't really have much more to change after that lol my sister called me on saturday and wanted me to come watch her ice skating lesson. so i met my mom and sister at the raleigh rec zone and my sister enjoyed showing off what she's learned so far. after that, mom invited me home for dinner but i politely declined. little did my mom know...i was going to be at the house for dinner because my dad was throwing a surprise birthday party for her. so i showed up for the party and she just laughed. we had a lot of fun celebrating my mom's birthday with our neighbors and friends. dad did some amazing cooking and the cake was pretty good too!

favorite quote of the night.....my nieghbor has 6 year old twins. will (one of the twins) walks in and asks my mom, "ms. helen, how old are you?" and my mom says, "i turned 26 today." his little mouth drops open and turns around and looks at his mom and says "mom, you are so much older than that!" it was so cute!

today (sunday) was a very relaxing day. i didn't do anything too exciting. i stayed in bed as long as possible and then my family for dinner at ruby tuesday. it was my mom's real birthday today, so we just had a small family celebration. it was a fun family dinner but after that it was back to my apartment to do some homework.

so we'll see what this week holds. ps: i'm sorry i haven't been writing lately. i've had a lot on my mind but had a lot of trouble putting them into words. so that's why i've only been recounting what has been happening in my life instead of writing about deep thoughts. i hope the writing buch comes back soon though because i do miss sharing my thoughts.
