Relaxation?!

Today I spent the majority of the day at my in-laws house which was nice. My brother-in-law, the one after Ishaq and 3rd out of the 5, just turned eighteen!

When I was at home, I messed around on the computer and finally got around to uploading all my pictures from the last several months. Literally, from September until now. Ridiculous!

Anyways, there’s one of the pictures up above. I’m going to try to get back into posting a picture a day and/or with each blog.
I like the visual that goes with it.

I’ve played a ridiculous amount of Tekken 6 the last few days. I beat the whole scenario campaign.

NEED to clean my house.

Seriously. I’ll get around to it. Promise?

Love,
Laney

Asheville!

this is dash frowning at the burger king man who got our order wrong. hmph.

Wednesday the 11th, I went up to Asheville with my other bestfriend Dash. We were going to see the boy she may start dating soon and his art show he was having. I must say, the boyo is VERY talented. His paintings looked exactly like the photographs they were inspired from.
The drive up was awesome. She’s one of the few people I can stay in close proximity with for long periods of time without getting bothered by. I think it’s cause we’re like the same person. No matter!
The mountain air was quite refreshing. I really love Asheville. We passed by Riverside cemetary which was really beautiful (in a morbid way, I suppose). It was very old-school with large headstones. It was too cold and windy to stay for more than 2 minutes though.
The art show was small but nice. All three artists are incredibly gifted. One had a South African accent which reminded me of Ishaq, of course.
We went back to her friend’s house where we were staying for the night. They were really nice! I also learned how to spin poi. Kind of. This starter set are the balls that light up red and you spin them around on a bungee-type string. The real kind involves fire that you spin. Pishaw, like I’ll ever do that. Unlikely.
I also hit myself in the face and in the back of the head. The consequences of learning poi. But it looks really cool when you get it right.
After her boyo came over, we had a bonfire and made smores. They were amazing! It was like being 5 again (according to Dash).
The trip kind of ended abruptly because we got into our first argument ever. But, I’m sure that was bound to happen at some point since we’re going on 4 years of bestfriendship.

Overall, it was a seriously good trip though!

Out With My Mom

at the 7th(ish) store trying to get a passport photo for mom. they took forever.

Alright, I’m backtracking because it’s spring break, so the next couple of posts will be about my last week.
I worked yesterday, today, and will be back tomorrow and tuesday. A four-day week- the worst. That means I’ll be putting in 50 hours of work over these four days. But it works out cause I get several days off coming up!

So Tuesday the 10th was a date with my mom!! It was fantastic. I’ve missed being able to do stuff like this with her on a regular basis. But it’s fine.

It started off with her making me believe we were running errands. We tried to get a passport photo for her. It took forever. The dude at the store was rude and didn’t really do anything. No matter!

She took me to get a pedicure at this new nail place right next to my house. It was the best pedicure I’ve ever had. For just $35, we got sea salt scrubs, nail color change, lotion, massage, and a bunch of other stuff. Quality, for sure.
We then went to Shiki Sushi for lunch which was absolutely delicious.
After that, we went back to her house and watched Rachel Getting Married which was a really great movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It had a more indie feel which was slighly surprising. I thought itwas more mainstream since it had been nominated for a several awards.

We decided to make this a monthly thing which I am really looking forward to.

So, here’s my to-do list for spring break:
-sleep
-clean up the house
-get the new dishwasher installed (it comes on Wed!!!! and is very needed!!!)
-hang up artwork
-sleep
-work on older adult project
-sleep
-study for elimination test (3 days after i get back to school)
-go visit jan overnight
-sleep
-read for leisure
-try out some new recipes (baking!)

I’m very excited. I just need to get through this work bit, seriously.

Snow Day

Today was a beautiful snow day spent drinking tea, watching movies, eating good ol’ American hamburgers and french fries while watching the inauguration of our 44th President, Obama, and sledding down hills.
Oh, and Isaac and I also made our first snow man. I got to spend some quality time with Isaac also. It was a great day.

Me, Ishaq, Snowman
