Things from april

so april has been a good month... and will end in crazy caios. this weekend is the youth group's annual lasagna dinner, my half marathon, the "baily bash", michael's sleepover, and another good friends college graduation party... and that's all within friday and saturday. sunday is empty. thank goodness :)

last weekend was megan's baptism. we drove up to grandma mary's house for the BIG event. megan was beside herself excited about this. she had a smile all day. it was really pretty adorable. i had had three beers beforehand at a birthday party for a friend and felt like i was going to die the night we drove up. i remained in the fetal position on the car drive up and went to bed as soon as we got there... and it's wierd caz it's not like i was drunk. but i felt awful. and was so bummed i couldn't stay up and hang out with my aunt whom i don't see often. it was rediculous...

there was a coo in the neighborhood last night. the girls (megan, remi, and kate) were spreading a visious rumor that michael had broken a nest worth of baby bird eggs. michael came in the house SOBBING because the girls were telling everyone lies about him! this is how you know he wasn't guilty. the tears. so i asked him
"did you touch the eggs?"
"NO!"
"well why are the girls saying that?"
"well...i only touched one! but i didn't break any!"
so i head outside to track down the girls. at this point, there was a large mob of children walking over to my house with displeased looks on their faces and ice cream cones in their hands (the ice cream truck had just come). i met them at the end of the driveway. i told them...
"hey guys, you need to stop saying that michael broke the eggs. he says he didn't and that he only touched one."
"well...michael lies somtimes" pointed out ty (neighbor boy)
"well, everyone lies somtimes...but how do you know that the eggs didn't hatch? maybe that's why there were broken egg shells?" (this tidbit of genius in my arguement i cannot take credit for. aunt becca was on the phone coaching me and it was her point :) my arguement was met with a pondering silence. having quited the mob i told them again "you can't blame someone for something you didn't know for sure they did and than tell everyone about it..."

ahh the drama...

all the neighbor women got together last night and i played bunko for the first time. that was fun. and interesting ;)

in other news...i am going to be doing a cleanse next week. i know i am in very good shape right now. my pants fit and i'll be running a half marathon in two days, after all...but i'm at least 10 pounds higher than i should be. and i am doing an experiment on myself. i am going to try a cleanse. and when mom comes home i am going to try eating macro. i will see which i feel better on. so i will be documenting this next week... so that should be interesting :)

i have tried uploading pictures, but i'm not sure if it worked...so there may or may not be pics with this... cheers!
