Guess who's still alive!!! I've been on vacation all week and not once did I get on the internet. It was kind of nice actually. Quite refreshing! :D
But that also means that I have a lot of entries to catch up on. And banners to make for
icons50 I'm sure. I need to do that later tonight. Then there's those icons I have yet to finish for the community as well. I believe they're due soon. Ugh. And I've got a fic due for
unitedslash July fic exchange as well. I should have done that on my week off, but I didn't.
Let me tell you what I *did* do this past week.
-Sunday through Monday-
Mum and I took four of my cousins (Brenden, Dakota, Karley, and Kyah) up to Columbus. We went to the Columbus Zoo Sunday afternoon. It was freakin AMAZING! I loved it so much. Much bigger than our zoo here in Cincinnati. Unfortunately we didn't get to see all of it b/c it started to pour down rain. We did, however, get to go on the boat ride in 'The Islands' and were the last passengers on it. They shut it down b/c of all the thunder and lightning. After that we got a hotel and went swimming and I worked out in the fitness center while texting Jas. I biked ten miles WOOHOO!!! Then we chilled in the room for the rest of the night. I did however get Kyah's hard head in my nose as I bent down to pick up her shoes and she stood up straight....thank god I didn't break it. Then Monday I stopped at Dick's Sporting Goods to look for any footie stuff. They had none. Not even an MLS stuff.....which doesn't make sense since THEY HAVE AN MLS TEAM!!! *head desk* I did however buy a spiffy new pair of shoes. After that we went into downtown and took the kids to COSI. Hell if I can ever remember what COSI stands for. Something like Central Ohio Science Institute. *shrugs* Anyway, they loved it, I had fun, and hell even mum enjoyed herself. Then we stopped into German Village and ate at Schmidt's Sausage Haus for lunch. Mmmm, authentic German food!! I swear if any of you ever go to Columbus go there to eat. It's so worth it eventhough it's always busy. Then we drove back home and dropped the kids at their house. Rest of the day was spent chillin. I even watched Raw Monday night all the way through for the first time in like two years. And I actually enjoyed it. Well, the drafts are always enjoyable really. But it figures I would watch and then Jeff would get drafted to Smackdown. Oh well. Need to remember to watch that once in awhile now I suppose.
-Tuesday-
Mum took me, Tee, and her boyfriend Antone to Argosy Casino as a late bday present for me and Tee. :D Lost all our money like woah, but we had fun. It was Tee's first time ever going to a Casino and she was so lost. She was only playing the penny slots but it was so confusing to her.
-Wednesday-
Mum and I went to Ikea. OH MAH GOD IT'S AMAZING!!!!!! I swear I wanted to buy like every single item in that store. They had so many cool rooms set up in the Showroom upstairs. Decided to do my room white, black, and red and we started buying accesories and a new desk chair. Then we ate at the Swedish cafe. Mmmm, Swedish meatballs!! Very nice.
-Thursday-
Mum and I painted my room. And I have to say that we didn't do that bad of a job. There's still a couple of yellow drops of paint on the ceiling from the last time mum painted the room that I forgot to cover up but it looks good. I'm happy with it. Took a two hour break to watch the Spain v. Russia match. VIVA ESPANA!!!!!!!! I swear they are so awesome.
-Friday-
Mum and I went back to Ikea and bought me a bed and a desk. Then my cousin, Freddy, came over (with all his kids except for Brenden and Candis) in tow and put them together. So the guy at the store totally said the bed can be put together in like 30 minutes. It took Freddy like an hour. LOL Then he had to put the desk together.......that took even longer. But it's hella awesome. I took pictures on my phone but I haven't sent them to my account yet. I should probably do that so you guys can see my newly transformed room. I need curtains still and bookshelves and a new dresser but overall it looks good. I just don't have anywhere to put my boxes and boxes of books at the moment so they're all sitting in the living room. Ooops?
-Today-
Last day of vacay!!! We're going to a cookout at my aunt's house later. Other than that I plan on finishing laundry and just hanging out on LJ throughout the day. I missed all of you!!
Going to miss the Euro final tomorrow since I'm working 12-8 and it's on at 2:30. But I plan on taking my break towards the end of the game so as to see who wins. LET'S GO SPAIN!!! :D
Alrighty. Off to read all the footie slash I've missed in the past week first. Then put my clothes in the dryer and start another load. Then.....probably catch up on my FL. LOVE YOU GUYS LIKE WOAH!!!
