i now have a hilary duff toothbrush

& it sings "wake up"….i like it.  plus, i think it is a good way to get kids to brush their teeth.  well it is 5am & i’ve been awake for 2 hours.  so far…i watched family guy…& tried to scare my dachshund to get rid of his hiccups.  it didn’t work.  -shrugs-

ahhhhhh there is an animal outside that sounds like it’s dying…maybe it’s a bird?  idk…this summer/fall i would hear screams & i would jump out of bed & run outside and save bunnies that my cat caught.  i’ve had a lot of temporary pets this year.  last week there was a cute little bird in my kitchen & i caught him & let him go.

yesterday was the superbowl & i went bowling with david, andrew, sara, rj, larry, & his nephew.  yay.  sunday bowling is the best b/c it’s 50 cents per game until noon.  & i didn’t completely suck ;]  after bowling i went with david to his grandparents house and omg i was sooooo scared!  i’ve known david for 4 years now (well in 9 days it will be 4 years, we met on valentine’s day!)  & i finally got enough courage to meet his sisters.  i’m proud of myself.  & i met kayla, david’s niece who is 1 yr and 4 months old.  she is adorable & she has such a sparkling personality & she is sooo bright.  when we first got to his grandparents house, i walked in & kayla was laughing & smiling…then she saw me & stopped, lol.  she looked me straight in the eyes with her poker face on (if babies could play poker, she would rock).  david said she was studying me…it was really intimidating, i thought i was going to get my ass kicked by a 1 year old.  then she was showing david a calendar with kitties on it & he would hold it and then she would try to flip the page, sooooo cute!  & then she handed it to me & we looked at the kitties together.  after that she ran around with a gift & her mommy let her have the bow on top, which she ended up wearing on her head.  me, david, his sister jessie, & his mom played catch phrase.  me & david were a team and we didn’t do so hot, but when we played pictionary…watch out.  his grandpa & sister forfeited because we were just too good.  david had to draw "tread water" & i got it…that was pretty sweet b/c how do you draw that anyway?  he drew waves, symbolizing water & a tire with tread…symbolizing….tread…yep, makes sense.  i think he did a great job.  then we played a game called … idk the name of it but i’m going to call it shenanigans b/c it was an odd word…i think it started w/a "B" i want to say boston market, but i’m pretty sure that’s not it ;P  meh.  it was fun though.  then everyone ate & i felt kinda bad b/c i don’t eat meat & a lot of times people make negative judgements b/c of it.  but his sister jennie was like does it make you feel sick if you see people eat meat?  & i was like noo, i just don’t eat it.  & she was like okay i just wanted to make sure & it was funny b/c she was like, i can’t stand being around people when they eat meat off of bones, lol.  i think she was trying to make me feel better.  but they got a vegetarian lasagna, which was soooo sweet.  i love david’s family, i was really nervous about making a good impression though.  & i know if/when i see them again…i’m still going to be nervous.  that’s okay.  after we left we drove around for a while & parked at oak hill & talked.  it was amazing, it felt like all the problems in our lives weren’t there & it was just us.  i love when it’s like that.  we can sit there & look into eachothers eyes for hours & not have to say anything.  sometimes i laugh though.  depends on the moment.  i asked him if we could not see eachother until the problems in our lives won’t affect our friendship negatively like they have been for a while.  there’s always going to be difficult things in life, that’s how life is suppose to be.  it’s solving those problems and working through tough things that makes us stronger, & make us appreciate what we have.  i don’t know what i would do if those moments me & david have didn’t happen anymore.  for a while it felt as if our bond was breaking, but yesterday it felt stronger then ever.  we’re so different from other people….we’re usually able to be happy regardless of anything else that’s going on.  i think this is just one of those bumps that we will get through together & make our friendship even more meaningful.
