I keep meaning to write in this for the last couple of days. Sometimes I just find that I don't the patience or time to write lately!
Anyway, I just wanted to recap the previous weekend.
On Friday, I invited Loreley to come to a family cookout. This was the first time that she meet my mom's side of the family. She already meet my mom's sister and her boyfriend when we went to dinner with them and my folks a couple of weeks ago. I warned her beforehand that they were wierd and if they teased her, it meant that they liked her. Apparently, after about 5 minutes, my uncle was teasing her, so I took it as a good sign. We only stayed for about an hour and half, since we had to go visit her friend whose brother died last week. While were leaving, she told me she didn't think that they were wierd but she did like them. I heard later, that my family likes her too! Very good sign!
After we left, right when we were getting to her friend's house, she got a call from a couple of other friends to say they were at the Mall with the girl whose brother had died to pick out some clothes for the funeral. So we went there and meet them in Sears. As they were trying to get the girl to try on the clothes, I told Loreley that I be in the book store since I was the only guy there with these 4 other girls. You kind of feel a little bit awkward in the bra and panties department watching them argue over what to wear.
After they finished, Loreley found me at the book store and they were talking about going over to play Putt Putt and I thought it was a good idea. I had a lot of fun playing there with them. In the end, I beat all the girls in putt putt and I wasn't trying too! I guess I must be that good!!!
After playing, we all went our seperate ways. I took Loreley back to Kroger to drop her off at her truck. Before meeting her to go to the cookout, I had bought her some red carnations. I realized that I hadn't bought her flowers yet. I think she really liked them.
On Saturday, I was expected to come up to help my parents help my mom's cousin with her house. Before coming up, I picked up my cousin Megan from my cousins house across the street from my house. She had spent the night with my cousin and the night before, they took Meghan to the Drive Inn at Fork Union. It was her first time there which is pretty cool. I haven't been there in two years!
I stopped at my my cousin's house to check with her and my mom to see if they needed my help. They told me they didn't so I just went ahead to drop off my cousin Megan at her house and my cousin Dee was there. When I got there, she told me she needed help with her homework. She's now taking courses at UVa for the Radiology department. She told me she was having trouble with the math, so I tried to help her out. Of course, I have been out of school for three years and I haven't taken math courses for a longer period of time so I wasn't much help! Anyway, after an hour of this, she had to take her daughter and my cousin Megan to the pool. So I went ahead and came back home.
When I got back home, I just did a few household chores. My folks got back home around 5 after working on my mom's cousin's house. I had rented "Die Another Day" earlier and told them that we should watch it. I had seen it in the theater's before but both of them have not seen it. My mom loves Pierce Brosnon even though she doesn't really like James Bond movies. It's actually quite funny when she said out loud, "These movies are always so unreal!!!". My dad and I had to laugh because that was actually point to these movies!
On Sunday, I went to church but stayed for the Bible study class that Loreley is in. This is the second week that I've attened the bible study class for the college students. Loreley invited me so I wanted to come. I actually enjoyed it! After it was over, she went back home to study since she had exams on Monday so I wanted her to study. I decided to go to "Cici's" for lunch. This was actually the second Sunday in a row that I went there for lunch. I mean they have good pizza that's pretty cheap! I was kind of angry at one point when I got up to get a couple of slice of pizza from the buffet when one of the bus boys took my plate. I still had a piece of good cheese bread on it!!!
Other than that, I had a pretty lazy Sunday afternoon. I had to organize my late great's uncles movie books that we got. He has few that are pretty nice like movie guides and picture books. This is the same great uncle who died and I got all his movies, which came out to be around 500 in total! Once I finish my house, I'll have to find a place to put all these things!
I have to ask, has anybody been watching this new show on FOX called "Banzaii". It looks so stupid from the commercials but when you watch it, you have to laugh at them. Apparently the Japanese have a wierd sense of humor. I think the "Ask one question" lady is pretty funny because you get to see her ask celebrities one question and she just stands there doing nothing when they finish. When they answer that question, it's equally funny to see how they react to her not reacting!!! The one that was on the other night was with her and George Takei, "Mr Sulu" from Star Trek!
