If this was the Real World I'd have someone Break your Legs now Give me the Money!

Friday March 27th
So G and I are going to KC for the weekend to visit her brother and parents. There’s this snowstorm thing blowing in and it’s starting to sleet outside of our apt. But we are going whither or not we get stuck in a blizzard, it will be a adventure! (Charlie, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5im0Ssyyus ) I get packed we extra feed the cats and we head out around 11 pm. There were a few snags on our trip but G pulled out the amazing Garmin and switched on Daniel the slightly irritated sounding British man, then there were a few more snags and a McDonalds. We made it there sometime early in the morning like 1 or 2. When we got into the house G’s brother “Andrew” started shining bright lights into our eyes and made me wear funky glasses…He’s studying to be a ophthalmologist, he’s not just a crazy light man…or is he… So blinded we went to bed. I have this really nice Green Room as we called it; the carpet is the color of grass. Andrew’s room is next to mine and G is down the hall. The Blondie and poppi called this morning pretty early so now I’m up writing to you. But it was good to hear from them, I miss them. They wanted to say hi before I left for KC, but little did they know I Was Already There!
Search for the Bathroom

G’s family’s house is a lot of fun, it reminds me somewhat of the one in Auburn, it’s very open and has these wood beams it feels nice here. But after the call by the rents I have to go to the bathroom. It’ 5 in the morning, I’m really goofy about bathrooms. Andrew and me have a shared bathroom and I didn’t want to use that one, too noisy, too close. So I walk down to use G’s but she has her bedroom door open so I don’t want to use that one. There’s a bathroom right next to her mom and dad’s room and that one is vetoed. So I venture to the basement and trip over a cat, but ahhh there is the basement bathroom, no one to hear me and hopefully not loud enough to wake anyone. It looks like it could be used it’s got pretty soaps and towels, but then I think is there anything wrong with it? Will it back up if I use it? They didn’t tell me there was anything wrong with the basement bathroom, but then again they probably didn’t expect me to go traipsing around 3 floors to go the bathroom. The “I gotta go” took over, so everything seemed to work out okay, and I’m back upstairs, hopefully the basement isn’t flooding right now and I won’t have to explain to them why I was using the basement bathroom like a crazy person.
Didn’t hear from JustAnUglyMonkey, went to see him on Thursday, still really weird. But at least he was nice and took me for a ride in the car he’s been working on, it was fun. The old guy that I knew showed up and was really great, but then he was gone in a flash. I am sad, but I’m going to enjoy my weekend! It’s started out great!

Saturday March 28th

After my early morning bathroom excursion, I wrote and fell back to sleep. Up now I hear people laughing downstairs. I’m up and I look over the banister and there’s G and her dad watching Elizabeth the Golden Age (oh love that movie!) and I ran down. I can’t believe she is up before me we make an amazing breakfast of Eggs with cheese, bacon, coffee, toast, and orange rolls. Wow breakfast was soo good. It was sleeting pretty good outside and then it started to snow big fat snowflakes. I sat down and watched more of Elizabeth and then Evan almighty came on and I was nestled in the couch watching the snow through the French doors thinking this was my favorite place in the world. I was completely happy. G needed to run to the store and pick up some stuff so she ran off into the sleet and snow like a happy adventuring Eskimo. I ran upstairs and took a shower. G’s mom made some delicious brownies with frosting, and forced us to eat the whole pan….yeah I know poor us. And G kept trying to get us to get together to play Monopoly, after dinner it was decided that we would have game time. We had a really yummy roast with corn, green beans, and augraton potatoes. Georgia and her dad made some kind of English pudding that was like biscuits and gravy. Dinner was devoured.

Monopoly Slumlord Style
I have never played a more cutthroat game of monopoly. There were side deals and contracts, negations upon negotiations. I thought I was doing pretty good I had a prime piece of property with hotels on them I had a little cash flow, but one bad deal and I went under. But it was probably a good time to get out of the game when Andrew told his mom that if this was the real world he would have hired a guy to break her legs for not paying up, and G told her dad it was ok to sell his houses he could sleep in his car….Plus there was homemade strawberry short cake that needed to be eaten.

Sunday March 29th
Woke up around 11 ahhhh second morning in a long time I didn’t wake up with a cat on my face. Popped into the shower got dressed and ready it was time to go “home” (shopping), the snow had melted off of the streets so it was perfect, it was even warm outside. G’s mom and dad let us raid their pantry and take what we liked yum! And after 2 Diet cokes and lots of hugs and thank yous we were off.

Shopping!!!

So our beloved Steve and Barry’s is no more we sadly found out. They had cheap clothes and funny t-shirts. Lets have a moment of silence. Ok done! We moved on in our grief to the Oak Park mall. Ohh la la we found deals and 

deals and pretty stuff. They had a dip n’ dots stand and just that would have made the whole trip worth it, but then we found the store Forever 21 we walked in and walk

ed out to get 

something to eat, we would need our strength for this one.
So after some delicious Chi

nese and free cookies (I’m a very smiley person and well G just has to 

glance at someone and free stuff gets chucked her way) we were back in Forever 21 to do a sweep of the whole store, it’s HUGE! And I want to live 

there everything is really pretty and it all feels so good I had to at least

touch it all. The store was about to close buy the time we got done I did the quickest try

on session I have ever done in my life check out and gone. Oh I want to go back I bought 2 really pretty dresses and G 3 really beautiful shirts!

Ride home was quick as drives back usually are for some reason, rocking out to some tunes yelling at crappy truck drivers. We lugged our enormous amounts of luggage and purchases up stairs to the apartment and then had a fashion show!!! Then we went to dinner in one of our new outfits came back costume change and back out to rent some videos looking BEA-Utiful! And we said hey to our boys at Hastings who thought we looked really good. Ah what a wonderful weekend.
