Busiest Month of My Life

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I’ve been busy just about every day since the end of August. So, to sum up what I’ve been doing while I’m away from the site, I’ve put each situation in categories by date. Here we go!

Babysitting: Thursday, August 27 – Friday, August 28
I had agreed to babysitting for my sister thinking that I was only going to be taking care of my youngest nephew. Turned out I had to babysit two of my nephews and my little brother. The only word I can come up with to describe such an ordeal is CHAOS. Here are a few pics of the terrors (they should come with the warning: adorable but deadly XD):

Hangouts: Sunday, August 30, & Tuesday, Sept. 1
On Sunday, I went out to see a few of my closest buddies. We usually just literally hang out because we’re all broke and none of us have cars. But it’s all fun and laughs, I love them. ^^ Then on Tuesday, I went to see some more friends of mine, one of which I hadn’t seen since I graduated high school! Then there were a couple folks I didn’t know as well who graduated with me also. It’s was cool. And hilarious.

See Charisse, the mutual friend of the group, loves to take pictures and always seems to have a camera handy at crazy and odd moments. There was one moment when we were all at her house where she wanted us to take a picture with us all in a circle looking down at the camera. Well James (the one I hadn’t seen since high school) also had a camera, and he wanted to get the same pics Charisse did. So they both set their cameras on the floor.

We’re all in a circle and ready to go when James realizes he didn’t set the timer on his camera. So he bends down to pic his up and set the timer, meanwhile Charisse’s camera starts going off. No one knew whether to keep the circle pose or to wait until the cameras were both situated…

Then James decides to put his camera back on the floor even though the timing of the flashes are different! We’re all going crazy, going blind from unexpected flashes in our eyes. This was by far the most confusing and chaotic moment of my life. XD The resulting pics follow:

Babysat again: Thu, Sept. 3 – Friday, Sept. 4
‘Nuff said.

Mom’s Bday Celebration: Saturday, Sept. 5 – Sunday, Sept. 6
Saturday was my mom’s birthday as I said in the last entry. We didn’t do too much, even thought it was a beautiful day. My older sister’s came over for a while, but by night time it was too late to go somewhere we all could go (including the young kids). So, we went out on Sunday!

We went to the mall because my older sister wanted to buy my mom a nice outfit, but it was closing by the time we got there (our family is procrastination central). We went to Target to do some quick shopping. We ate really good frozen yogurt at a place called Yogi Castle. (There’s only like one of those places in the world. Stalkers, you’re welcome. :) ) Then we went to California Tortilla to eat. I’ve been in love with Mexican Food lately. :drool: We had tons of fun, and I met a cute guy there. But I didn’t get his name or number, so… failure? XD

All in all, it’s been a good and hectic couple of weeks which is more than I can say for this entire summer. :ugh: In the next entry I’ll cover more about the site + babysitting week 3! D: Oh, and my best friend asked me to help her make her own blog/personal site. It will be owned by her and her boyfriend. Oh, and School! Again, more details next entry!

I got so many comments on the last entry! More than I usually get within a couple days. And on such a short and compact entry? xD Thanks a bunch guys! I’ll be returning them all week long. Takes me a while to write up comments and blog entries, don’t ask why. lol And on top of that I’m still uber busy with different things. I added a few new pages to the site: Past Layouts, Wordpress Plugins Used, and Why Donate to Cianopi.

Random Note: Just discovered today that Gaia made saving outfits a reality!! :love:

Lastly, please vote in the Plush Layout contest (whether or not you vote for me xD)!!

I also have a few new contest/challenge/award ideas underway. But that’s all the information I can disclose at the moment. X| Be on the lookout!

Oh yeah, and in the next entry, I’ll be bragging a bit. Mostly about what I mentioned in the last post. But on top of the site’s success, I’ve gotten a few awards, and an affie gift. ♥ All will be mentioned in the next post!
