Well, I guess I don't really talk about my life in this journal anymore..I can't really remember anything before last Wednesday. So I guess I'll start there. Wednesday, me and the fam left for Illinois. I got up at around 10, expecting to leave around 12:30 or so, because that's what my mom told me. Of course, she insists on telling me that she said to 'be ready by 12:30, not leave by then'. Whatever. So we left at around..3, I think. So I went with Dave, and my mom took the dog, and we drove for about 8 hours; got stuck in Chicago traffic for about 2 and a half hours, even though I slept through most of it. Got to Noni and Grandpa's house [Great grandparents] at about 11, Michigan time, it was 10 there. So we hung around and talked about the dog, and how I liked school and all that crap. So then I slept on the blow up bed in the living room, froze to death [Almost!] during the night, and was awoken on Thanksgiving morning by breakfast eaters at about 7. Ahh. So then I hung around and waited for everyone to take showers and get ready. Seven people and one shower doesn't make for a relaxing morning. But oh well. I hung around and watched the Trading Spaces: Family marathon until everyone was done. Took my shower, got ready, and left for Aunt Janices for dinner. The food is always good, but not the company. My cousin Kristen is turning out to be quite the bitch, if I do say so myself. She doesn't even bother to say hi to anyone anymore; she's too distracted by her boyfriend [A different one for every holiday..] and uncle Mike. And it sucks because she's the closest one to my age, everone else are adults [Boring] or 5 year olds. But Brodie and Sydnie are cute so I played with them. Lol. So we all ate, cleaned up, watched football [ I forget who was playing..heh] and left about 5 hours later. Which was when the REAL boredem started. There was nothing to do except watch tv..I didn't bring anything to do except a CD player and my science homework, and I did too much of that on the drive down there. So we all watched tv for like 5 hours. Which was hell. I ended up calling Ryan but I guess his cousins were being too loud, and my [Mom's, not mine] cell was being stupid and breaking up so we only talked for about 10 minutes. Grandma Sue made it a point to ask as many questions about Ryan as possible.."Is your boyfriend having family over for Thanksgiving", "Does your boyfriend have any siblings?", "Does your boyfriend have any pets? A dog?" and stuff of that nature..=\ So once again, I slept on the blow up bed, almost froze to death during the night was awoken at 7 by the breakfast eaters, again. So now it's Friday, me and Dave are leaving today, and my mom is going to a bug craft show in downtown Peoria with Grandma Sue for the day and she'll leave Saturday. Dave planned on going to lunch at 1 to see some of his old friends; I didn't want to go, so he dropped me off at Target for a few hours. Before he went to lunch though, we dropped by our old neighbors house, the Gray's, and saw Melanie and Alex, but her husband Bill and son Adam went to play Squash, whatever that is. Apparently it's a popular game at the Air Force Academy, which Adam attends. So that was fun seeing them. Also really cool to drive around Peoria and see my old city. I miss it =( I was hoping I would see some of my old friends too, but I didn't get a chance to call any of them to do anything..oh well. Next time maybe. So then me and Dave drove baaack to Michigan, got caught in a huge storm of some sort. Every car in front of us was spinning off the road or close to it, and I was freaking out. But I guess we didn't die, Lol. so I came back to a 50 degree house, and once again, froze my ass [and toes] off during the night. So on Saturday I got up at 12:30, got ready, persuaded Dave to take me to Ryan's, and hung out there all day. I met his Aunt and Uncle and cousin..watched football, watched Donnie Darko, went out for Chinese [Got addicted to sugar bread] and came back and watched some of Austin Powers..and came back to my house again. Lol..so here I am today. Got up at 11, turned on the tv, and watched Trading Spaces [It's sad, I know..] and attempted to clean my room, but got distracted like I always do. Talked to some people..Kristin's gonna buy me the Bath and Body Works store, Adam's getting me a can of pop, and Ryan a 25 cent ring. =D I can't wait until Christmas, too bad I spent 60 bucks at Target and I'll have to work my ass off to earn enough money for Christmas presents. Oh well, making candy is always a good option =). I guess today I'm just cleaning and all that..nice stuff..maybe going to Ryan's. I think I will be going now..if you read this far, I'm impressed. I wouldn't have the attention span to read it, I'm surprised at myself that I typed out the whole freakin thing. Seeya. <3Allison
