Whew, I'm back from a long weekend up north. It went okay...mostly. But there was a bunch of drama as well.

We left on Thursday afternoon, after my brother finished his summer school class. I finished mine at 10:45. His didn't get finished until 1:30. But his started at 10:30 and mine started at 9:00. Anyway, my brother had to return some video games to Blockbuster and there were a bunch of last-minute things to do including hooking up our Jeep Wrangler to the back of our motor home so we could tow it. We call it our "toad" (ha ha). Our neighbor came over, the one who's a year older than my brother, and we left at about 3. We had to stop by and pick up another good friend of my brother's who also happens to be our (his and mine) godbrother. My mom is his godmother. It was a long ride up. My mom refused to drive over 65 miles per hour so it took about 4 hours with two stops so I was subjected to 4 hours of Family Guy and Die Hard. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Family Guy. It's just that it was insanely loud and the theme song can kind of get annoying after a while. But I survived. I sat at the table for a while but then moved up front to get away from the boys. I watched a movie on my Ipod. Well a movie and a half. A Cinderella Story and half of Elizabethtown. Then my battery died so I had to take out my laptop and plug my Ipod in so it could charge. I ended up working on Burn a bit as well as a oneshot that's in progress--Lean on Me. And I played a lot of games of Hearts. 

Friday I didn't get up until about noon and then I spent most of the day around and watching TV in the motorhome, trying to write. Saturday, I spent most of the day in the motorhome watching TV and trying to write. For some reason, I was feeling really anti-social. I just didn't want to be around all the people. It wasn't so bad on Friday. It was bad Saturday. There were a lot of people there. My aunt (her boyfriend didn't come after all), my cousin, his wife, their two young kids, their obsessive-compulsive bitch dog, my uncle, his two friends and their son, my cousin'st friends and their kids, and just a whole lot of people. Saturday night I had to move from the motor home into the bedroom where my aunt was sleeping because there weren't enough beds in the house for the boys to stay there. So I slept in her bedroom along with my year and a half cousin. I didn't know when I signed onto the deal that I would be getting him too, but it wasn't bad at all. He slept through the night and woke me up at 8 because my aunt had gone down to the lake for whatever reason. He didn't cry or anything. He just made these little noises that woke me up and alerted me to the fact that he was awake. So I picked him up...after he had fallen on his face (oops!!) and took him out to the kitchen where my grandma was and asked her if she had seen my aunt. She said that my aunt was down at the lake and called her up. I just kept the little cuz out of trouble until she got up to the house and went back to bed. Oh yeah, I forgot that the night before, I went in there long after the baby had gone to bed so I had to be quiet except I bumped into the crib where he was sleeping while trying to go in. Thankfully, he didn't wake up. He's soooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very anti-social, only appearing once in a while. I baby sat Demon Dog (my nickname for our 10 year-old beagle mix Jake) for a lot of the weekend. God, he was a pain in the ass. It didn't help that Trish, my cousin's OCD domineering bitch dog was there and she and Jake do NOT get along. There was also some drama with my cousin's family and friends, but I won't get into that. I don't even fully understand it. I somehow managed to get Chapter 16 of Burn done, but I didn't get any of my Microbiology homework done. Gahh I'm so behind in that. That's going to be my priority tomorrow. That and returning my library books. Or book I should say. I only managed to get one finished by the time they're all due, but I have managed to shrink the size of my stack quite a bit. Oh that reminds me, I need to renew my books online tonight before I forget.
Damn it, one of the books can't be renewed because it's been requested. I barely got to read it too. Fudge. I'll just have to return it and try again some other time. Oh well. The rest of them got renewed. I swear, this time I'm going to read through them all. Okay, gotta go to bed. Going to drag my ass out of bed early tomorrow morning so I can get everything done that I need to get done. I hate having to leave things to the last minute, but that's what happened with my Microbiology. Again.
