Back Home

So I've been back home for about 3 days now and honestly as much as I loved hanging with my sister in Portland I've gotta say that home is where the heart is. I got home from Denver at 3a.m. and Shane woke me up to the best homecoming gift ever, better than flowers or anything!!! He woke me up at 7 took me outside with my eyes closed. To my surprise when I opened my eyes there was grass!!!! We haven't had grass in our yard for 3 years and I thought they were just seeding it! I was so excited however on only 4 hours of sleep I couldn't really show my excitement! I'm so excited for it to set and actually be able to hang out in my bathing suit and tan in my backyard!!! Now all I need is some sun!

Now we're in for a busy weekend full of building the dog run and deck. I also have a bridal shower and a dance recital to attend on Saturday. To finish the weekend with a bang I'll be going to the lake on Monday for Memorial Day. And for another piece of good news, Jocelyn had Lance Tuesday and he's so so cute! I got his blanket done and now just got to find time to visit them. So far it's been a pretty good homecoming!

Thursday

Ok so I'm fully aware that it is now Sunday and I'm talking about Thursday... I think I'm finally ready to talk about it.
So first off it was my sisters birthday so we slept in and decided to relax in the morning. We were just kinda hanging out watching a movie and eating breakfast then in comes Alex's mom. She came in acting all sweet and asked if they could talk about what was going on between Jordyne and Alex. I'm really not sure what was going on with them just that they fight a lot. Well her mom started in on Jordyne about Lucy and how Lucy needs to be taken care of more. City is so much different than home, you actually have to take the dog out for a walk and all that stuff you don't just get to let them hang in the yard. Ultimately it became an attack on Jordyne and Laurie pretty much said Jordyne was a bad dog owner. I kept my mouth shut through most of this but then decided no more. I finally stepped in and said that I felt she could find a better way to talk about it and that calling Jordyne a bad dog owner was not fair or ok. She said that Jordyne was a bad dog owner and continued so I said no she's not... stupid stuff ya know.

THEN...
Laurie got up in my face and told me I was a loser just like my sister and my family was losers and all sorts of stuff like that. She pushed herself into Jordyne's room to continue to yell at us and I kept my cool the whole time politely asking her to stop and leave Jordyne's room because it wasn't her area... so she said yeah you're right and went to the living room to continue to yell at Jordyne and yell at her towering over her while she tried to get Lucy's leash on. When I politely said Laurie I'm going to have to ask you to stop she looked at me and said fuck off... THIS LADY IS 51 YEARS OLD!!!!!

We left for about half an hour, came home and I showered and began to get ready. Then Laurie came and apologized to both of us. Neither of us really said anything but we took it and she began talking to us like she wanted to know what our lives were about... that didn't last long.

She came back out and started everything all over again. This time it was worse... calling our family white trash and telling us we were worthless and Jordyne wasn't going to get anywhere. It ended with me calling her a rich bitch. I know I shouldn't have but I broke, I was sick of being put down!

I guess to her I'm worthless and no one cares about me and I mean nothing here... but to lots of people I'm huge, to lots of people I'm all they got. She's just crazy and whatever

On a good note I made Dean's List again and finished the semester with a 3.5~!

Time for a Play by Play!

So I leave Portland Monday evening but figured I would give a good update before I forget... I got here late Monday night but that wasn't so eventful so we'll start on Tuesday.

Tuesday...
I woke up pretty early oddly enough I have been all week and it's annoying but whatever. We got ready and headed downtown to do some shopping. I found some way cool water bottles for my mom and I at this yoga store that charged way too much for a pair of yoga pants. We continued to shop around then came home later and made s'mores brownies before heading to her friend's house who were making me dinner. The night was fun, we had chicken kabobs and fried rice then all just sat around talking which was lots of fun!

Wednesday...
Wednesday it poured rain all day but that didn't damper our plans. The damper was the fact that I had some weird stomach flu that pissed me off more than anything! We still got up and went to Zumiez and Victoria Secret cuz that's what we planned. I got a YakPak and a new swimsuit then we went back home cuz I wasn't feeling well and she had to go to work at 4. Unfortunately, I slept pretty much the rest of the day but when Jordyne got off we went to meet her friend Josh and went to a movie and VooDoo Donuts. We went to see Ghost of Girlfriend's Past and it was alright. We went back home and after diliberating with my stomach over whether or not to through up I went to bed. (didn't throw up either).

Thursday...
Maybe I should make a whole new post for Thursday and just skip it for now... ok so on to...

Friday...
We were supposed to go to the coast today but decided to go to the Japanese Gardens instead... we woke up a little later got ready for the day and headed to downtown. We got lost so decided to eat lunch at the Portland Grill instead at least for a bit. The grill is 30 stories up in a building next to the river, we sat at a table next to a window that overlooked one the the mountains which I will never remember the name of... after eating mom gave us directions to the Japanese Gardens and we finally headed over there. It was awesome and so pretty there. After that we went to her friend Brittany's house and watched the finale of Grey's Anatomy. Sad sad sad... then we went to the boy's house and each made something different for our smorgis (sp?) board of dinners! I made fajitas, Karen made Jambalaya, and Brittany made Pork Chops... unfortunately we were all exhausted!!!

Saturday (oh yes that's today)...
Today we got up WAY late and quickly headed to the coast so we could hopefully make it there and get back in time for her to work too! The drive was beautiful. Unfortunately my camera got left on the table and all I had was my dying cell phone :( We got the the coast though and found two almost full sand dollars and two open clams so it was worth it and I got a couple pictures from the coast. We got back around 4 after Jordyne got pulled over for a speeding and got a ticket which totally sucked!!! And now I am here just chilling!

So that's my update so far, I have a day and a half left of hanging out here then back to home. It's been a long long week so far but mostly fun... which will lead me to a new blog.

Oh me oh my!

I feel as if I have been slacking really bad on this! Maybe because I have... Finals week turned out to be not so bad... out of 4 classes I only had 2 real finals during this past week. One was on Monday the other today (Friday). That's a long time between therefore I had lots of time to study... haha that didn't really happen. I took my last final today and feel that it went fairly well... I'm hoping it's an A so that I get an A in stat cuz that would be awesome!

Along with finals week I managed to get my nails done, visit my grandma twice, and stuff wedding invitations for Cameo. As well as working almost 40 hours. I'm proud of myself actually feel accomplished yet relaxed at the same time. I get to leave Monday night for Portland and I'm REALLY looking forward to it! For one full week I won't have anything to do and lots of time to just relax.

Hm... not much else to say... it's kinda been the same thing over and over. I really need to find stuff to do other than work and school. Now that school's done though there's a much better chance for that! So excited for summer!!!! If I didn't have to work tonight a celebration would be under way!
