My Weekend...

was 6 days long this week! yay! Now, I know that may sound like a vacation not a long weekend to some...but since my usual weekend is 4 days long...I think 6 days qualifies as a long weekend. Its seriously going to suck once I have to reenter the work force soon.

I had one class on Monday and then its been free time ever since. I had a lot on my to-do list though (with the impending move and graduation), and most has been accomplished (or I've scheduled time for it to be done tomarrow...I'm a procrastinator, what can I say?).

First I would like to say I've seen Twilight 3 times and still love it SO MUCH! Woohoo for it making 70 million opening weekend! Can't wait to see what it does for this holiday weekend. And I still love Jasper. I'm probably going to see it again next weekend...and then again once I move home. I <3 twilight

I'm dog sitting for my friend Meg. Her dog, Molly, is my dog's bestest friend. They have lots-o-fun together. And it makes you want to scream. There is SO MUCH barking and running and growling and knocking into your legs...it could potentially put someone (a lesser someone than I of course) in the nut house.

She's been here since Tuesday so they have settled down some by now. Except after they poop, they ALWAYS have to play, and go crazy. My dog also has some serious possession issues so feeding them turns into a 20 minute process when normally its about a 2. The first couple nights Molly and I got into some arguments involving sleeping arrangements, but we have them mostly worked out by now. I've never seen a dog take up so much space on a bed...its ridiculous. Maybe she just seems so big since my dog curls up into the smallest little ball when he sleeps, I dunno.

The whole thing makes me happy I only have one dog. However its going to be very sad when I move becuase Phillip will be so lonely, as I'm sure Molly will too. (don't you love how both our dogs have people names?)

This weekend I also thought about doing some homework. I made a 1/2 a webpage. That seemed good enough.

I did, however, catch up on some extremely corny, made-for-tv christmas movies! I love this time of year for all the un-godly reasons! I believe, whole heartedly, in commercial christmas! I love the lights, the cheesy movies, the songs, the shopping, and the presents!

I dvr'd a bunch of christmas movies from abc family (how can you go wrong?) and they all seemed to have a centralized theme...christmas and crime. I'm not so sure how these 2 things seemed to get linked but did they ever. I watched a movie with Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez where she kidnaps him on christmas to pose as her boyfriend, another with Shannen Doherty who was a theif, and yet another one with Tony Danza who was also a theif! I guess Christmas + Crime + popular 90's actor who is no longer famous = Feel Good Christmas Movie!

On a side note, I also watched Fred Claus (that just came out on DVD) and it was really cute and funny. I liked it a lot.

I've also been reading a lot this weekend. I just read Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I don't really understand how I've made it this far in life without reading it but I had. It was really good, and short which is always awesome.

I also read what there is of Midnight Sun. What is that? well...Stephanie Meyer, the author of the twilight series, had a rough draft of what would have been the 5th book of the twilight series leaked onto the web unfinished. This book (Midnight Sun)told the same story as twilight, but from Edward (the vampire's) perspective. This discouraged her so much that she stopped writing it and just posted it on her website, instead of having people go all over trying to read it. She has said she isnt going to finish it now because of the leak. That is really unforunate becuase what she has is amazing and I loved it. It was only about 250 pages but amazing just the same. And since you already know what happens in the end its not AS horrible that there is no ending.

Reading Midnight Sun and seeing the movie made me want to read Twilight again...so I did. In like a day. Turkey day actually.

And now I'm on to Eragon which Meg has been trying to get me to read for months. I'm only like 200 pages in but it is actually pretty good...you were right Meg...

I go on spurts with my reading and I've hit another one. The only problem is that once I start reading something, I don't want to do anything else until I'm finished. It's all consuming.

Finally, I actually did some packing and cleaning...today. I spent Tuesday through Friday doing nothing and being a bum and finally got productive on the 5th day. Better than nothing I guess.

I packed 8 boxes of clothes and books, and 3 garbage bags of hangers. I also got 4 bags of clothes ready to give to good will, which are already in my car ready to go. I threw away about 12 bages of shit, including 3 bags of paper-shredded stuff. I have been putting off my shredding for probably about 2 years, and I finally did it all today, while watching my Tony Danza Christmas movie. I cleaned out the closet that formerly held the litter boxes. That is an hour long process just to get all the litter out of the carpet. That closet is SPOTLESS and closed up so no more animals can get in and make messes. I also did like 6 loads of laundry. I feel quite accomplised, and my back hurts from all the work...damn rollerblades...


I move 2 weeks from tomarrow. My last class is on Wednesday, with my last final being Friday the 12th. I have 2 presentations PLUS 2 finals and a final paper (and Im only taking 3 classes...where does all this work come from?!) My dad and Karen fly in on the 11th. Its going to be a crazy couple weeks coming up...
