I’ve had a pretty uneventful weekend.<\/p>\n
I’m not complaining though — I’ve been able to relax and catch up on some much-needed sleep. I love sleep. Let’s see, I spent the entire 4th of July inside my apartment. No joke. I didn’t even go out to watch fireworks. To make up for our laziness, my boyfriend and I paraded around our apartment wearing T-shirts with the good old US flag imprinted on them. Good stuff. I watched a lot of Real World: Paris<\/i> though. This cast annoys me so. much. They have a great opportunity in their hands — they get to write for Frommer’s travel guide — yet they act so ungrateful when they have actual responsibilities. I mean, I would gladly live in Paris and write about the attractions, restaurants and shopping that I experienced while I was there. They’re so lucky to have a great job handed to them and they don’t even act like they appreciate it. Ugh. That bugs me.<\/p>\n
Anyway, today I actually ventured into the outside world. Rob and I went to go see Legally Blonde 2<\/i>, which was a really cheesy and corny movie but lots of fun. I didn’t like it as much as the first one — but I think that’s mostly because the first one was new and fresh while this one really felt like a sequel. Oh, but Luke Wilson looked really hot — yes, he did. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
My roommate’s mom is visiting for the weekend and she is totally spoiling us all. She’s been cooking all our meals and helping us clean the apartment. It’s really cute how parents get when they know you can take care of yourself — all of a sudden they want to be the ones to do everything for you, like they still want to be needed. It’s completely adorable. My dad acts the same way when I go home to visit him — we’ll go shopping and he’ll insist on buying me stuff even though he knows I make my own money now and can afford to buy things I need. It’s such a sweet gesture though and who am I to refuse? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I’ve also just started watching Trading Spaces<\/i> — you know, that show on TLC where people trade houses for 2 days and they redecorate a designated room with the help of professional designers. Well, my roommate Jimmy is addicted to this show and he watches it every time it’s on, which is like 99% of the day so by default, I’ve been watching it as well. I never realized just how interesting it is — sometimes it gives me ideas but most of the time, the things they do to the rooms seriously terrify me. There was one little boy’s room where the designer hung a trellice from the ceiling and attached Japanese lanterns to it — ugh! And another time, there was a guest room in which the designer was going for a garden theme and proceeded to install astroturf to the floor and surrounded the bed with a white picket fence. I kid you not. It was awful. I would be surprised if the owners didn’t immediately switch everything back to the original setup. Hee.<\/p>\n
Umm, it’s about 3am now — where DOES the time GO?!? I suppose it’s time for bed. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
