weekend recap..

So I had a pretty good weekend. I've finally got my health back so of course it was about that time to get back out on the town.

Thursday and Friday was actually pretty chill. I hung out with Dan and we headed to Union to meet up with Brian's new boyfriend, Chris. We actually didn't get to meet him though b/c Dan is only 20 and he couldn't be at Union past 10 pm. Apparently thats the Thursday night thing there.. but we werent aware.

Anyways.. so on Saturday I called Brian to see if we were all going out. We were.. and I was suppose to meet up with Brian at 9:30ish at Union. Dan and I were a bit late b/c we could not find parkin anywhere! Finally, a hobo helped us out .. and ofcourse I payed him for his services. Dan was pissed at me.. but at least the guy earned it!! Otherwise I woulda been walkin hella far in stilettos.. in the cold ass rain! So anyways.. we go in and meet up with Brian. I get us some drinks. I can't believe it.. but Brian actually liked white russians.. I was impressed! Anyways.. Brian tells me that his friend Jacob was comin to meet me.. being a straight guy and all. Well.. he finally arrived.. and he was so so sweet. BUT.. not my type physically. My ideal type is long, lanky with crazy black/brown hair.. Jacob was about 5'9ish with long blonde hair.. like I said.. sweet.. and cute.. but not for me! Anyways.. I was suppose to meet up with Russ later on that night.. but I ended up sending out a message to Michael Rhyan. The guy I said I would probably never see again. Alcohol does strange things ;-)
So at about 1:30 I take Dan home and head home. And let me just say.. my windshield wipers quit working and I nearly died on the way home!!! It was rainin so hard and I had like a 12 mile drive ahead of me.. on the interstate.. very scary! Anyways.. I get home a lil after 2 and get a msg from Michael sayin that he was on his way. I was developin a hangover so I layed down only to get a call from Michael around 3 saying his car wouldn't start and wanted to know if I could come and get him from some parking lot downtown. Even though I didn't feel like it .. I was a good person and slid on my uggs and a coat and headed out. Well, half way there.. he tells me that his car started.SOOO.. I turned right back around and came back to my apartment. Eventually he showed up.. close to 4 I would say.
The rest of the morning I won't share ;-) He left around noon. And even though the kid isn't the brightest crayon in the box.. he can be very sweet. Well, until he speaks. And let me just tell you.. he snores so friggin loud!! There were times when I was afraid to fall asleep. I wasn't quite sure if he was able to get enough oxygen to have a pulse! Anyways.. eventually I got use to it.. and now it's gonna be hard to fall asleep without it!
So Brian called again yesterday to see if I wanted to go out again. I declined. I was friggin exhausted. I mean.. I really haven't been oot and aboot for awhile.. so I needed a break. I basically slept yesterday away and it was really nice. Then today I had to go out and buy a fuse for my windshield wipers. Finally got the fuse changed and have my wipers workin again!! And.. I did it all by myself.. :-D
Welllll... I'm off to clean the apartment.. I may have company in a bit.. and No, not Michael Rhyan.. sadly ;-)

cute pic..

sorry.. I just had to post this.. it makes me laugh! This is Zsa Zsa...

Yeah, I have a butt donut and I wasn't born in 1920..so!

.. so I'm a bit bored from just sittin' around on my broken butt all day so I figured I'd write for a minute.

I drove to Cambridge to see the doc today. I had some xrays done as well as a throat culture. Turns out I have a broken coccyx and I'm either having a mono flare up or I have strep. I'll know in 48-72 hrs.. but with the weekend and all it may take a bit longer that usual. My mother bought me a donut to sit on.. as recommended by the doc. I know it's funny and all but if you think about it.. it really sucks! My doctor told me I need to sit on it in class.. PSH! Like that would ever happen.. I'd rather suffer through the pain than be humiliated by takin that everywhere with me. But.. for right now.. it's helpin me out at the computer.. and it makes a great lil cat bed ;-)

I talked to Kristin today! Yay! It's about time. ;-) So I'm either too medicated or one of us is just confused.. I swear I called her last but she swears its the other way around. I suppose I was stressing out all weekend about her being upset with me for no reason! Thank goodness. I can't wait to see her next month! So much fun to be had.. hopefully my ass will be healed by then!

The pets are all doing well. Willie has finally made nice with the litter box.. I believe it's permanent! You have no idea how much of a relief that is!

My sis is having some problems with her blood pressure. Apparently she will be seeing the doc every week until the big day. I'm really stressing out about this even though I know I shouldn't. Its my nature to worry like mad lady. It's causing some horrible nightmares.. I just can't wait until Hayden is born and I can stop with all the stressing!!

I can't remember is I've touched on hanging out with Michael Rhyan. Well.. I did. Last Thursday I believe. Things did not go too well. I mean.. we get along just fine.. but he's.. well.. he's.. not bright. And anyone who knows me knows that I'm quite dingy. I'm smart but dingy. So the fact that his stupidity is SO incredibly noticeable that it turns me off is a pretty huge deal. I do not believe Mr. Rhyan and I will be having another date. Such a shame... he was so darn pretty.

Anyways.. I figure I'll post a couple of photos from the weekend.. like the shower and the mural.. even though it isn't quite finished.. Ok.. so the first pic is of my baby boy Rhett helpin out with opening the huge bag of pampers for the diaper cake.. he always has to be involved.. ;-)

the next two are of the diaper cake in making as well as the finished product! Give me a break.. it was my first time making a diaper cake.. and probably the last..

.. now the table of SOME of the gifts..

.. and now the in-progress mural in Hayden's Cars themed mural.. this scene was picked out by venus and my mom.. apparently the car had wrecked in this scene.. mater is at the top like towin him out or something.. I think these pics were taken before I drew mater in..

don't mind me lookin so rough there... I hadn't had sleep in roughly 72 hrs.. and might I just add that my hand STILL hurts ... and eventually I'll get pictures of the mural PAINTED on here!!! Ok.. Dan called.. so I need to go.. Brian drama

Hayden, slippery stairs, and the shower..

It looks as if my nephew has a new name. When Venus decided on the name Logan a while back she told her neigbors, Ashlee and Dave. They too are expecting a baby boy.. a month after my sister is due. Well, apparently they really liked the name because yesterday they told my sister that they were naming their lil boy Logan. So my sister got really upset and decided to change the name. Who goes around stealing their friend's baby's name? Apparently ppl who live in Bethesda, Ohio. Anyways... my sister decided on the name Hayden Chandler Jenkins. She said she's never talkin to the neighbors again so she won't know if they are going to steal this name as well.. we'll see. ;-)

When I was home last weekend to paint the mural.. I got to hear baby Hayden's heartbeat. When my sister got in bed I sat there for over an hour with the headphones.. listening all around my sis's belly. It was so much fun but very very exhausting. Just when I would think I heard something.. it would vanish or I'd hear static. But.. I did get to hear him for about 10 seconds.. so it wasn't a total loss. I just can't wait to meet him!

The Cars mural is almost finished. I drew the entire scene on the wall in two nights and painted half of the mural. I didn't have time to finish all of the painting.. which is probably a good thing.. b/c my mother is much better at painting than myself. So should have it finished up in about a week. The shower was a success. I got over two hundred pictures.. some are just hilarious. I think Venus had a great time.. and that is the important thing. The shower actually began later than intended.. b/c I underestimated the time it would take to get everything done. Which always happens.

Well.. I got back home on Monday night. Well.. more like Tuesday in the wee hours. The next morning I got up to walk Rhett and wouldn't you know it.. I fell down a flight of stairs. HARD. Since we practically got a blizzard.. the stairs were covered in snow. That accompanied by a very anxious poodle and a very sleepy patty resulted in what I think to be a dislocated coccyx. I was in so much pain that I seriously thought I was going to have to call an ambulance. I called my mom, who had just fallen down the stairs a few days prior, crying. She told me to take some of the vicodin I have for kidney stones and then put ice on it. The only problem was I couldn't even get up to get ice! Seriously.. moving made me cry. The excruciating pain lasted for almost two days.. then at about 6:00 am I attempted to get up to go to the bathroom when my back made a loud crack. I'm not sure what happened but I can actually walk now. I'm still a lil sore but feel SO SO much better. I'm going in for xrays tomorrow.. just as a safety precaution.. make sure nothing is fractured. My hand, shoulder blade, and coccyx absorbed the majority of the impact.. I swear I'm such a clumsy ass!!! If I could go a week without something horrible happening it would be a miracle!

Anyways.. that is that! Nothing else is new really.. other than the ongoing drama of Dan's lovelife. Which is so confusing I can't even begin to explain!

Ok.. wish me luck tomorrow!!!
