Total slacker

Matt called me out last night and told me I am the worst blogger ever. I guess I'm not really keeping up with the blog these days. It has been a week ago Saturday since the last time I wrote anything. Geesh, where does the time go?!?

So, here is the what I've been up to these days:

I saw a couple movies. Confessions of a Shopaholic --- was an over-the-top cheesy chick flick. I'm pretty sure most guys would not last sitting through it. : ) And He's Just Not That Into You --- cute movie, but as Erin says, it ended terribly for what the message of the movie was supposed to be. The message is that women tend to think their relationships are always the exception to the rule, but in reality we should be thinking we are the rule and stop fantasizing that things are always going to work out like a fairy tale in the end.

My volleyball team ended the regular season in 2nd place, which is an improvement from last season. This Wednesday is the second round of playoffs and the championship game... cross your fingers!!!

Matt and I set up appts for getting the closets done (yay!!!) and getting the new curtains installed (again, yay!!!). I can't wait to see how it all turns out. It will be awesome to have an organized closet! And some more decoration in the living room!

Last Friday, we went to see the Loyola v. UIC game. Good game, exciting at the end, but Loyola fell short. We got to sit on the floor seats right next to the court and the players. At one point, a player from the other team fell out of bounds and on top of me. Luckily, he was able to control himself enough that my chair didn't tip backwards (how embarassing would that have been?!?) I felt a little violated, but he apologized, so I let it slide! ; )

On Saturday, I went to a shower for Michelle at Wishbone. Lauren has a good write-up and some pics on her blog. I had my camera with me, but forgot to take pictures. I think little PBR is going to be decked out pretty nice with all the cute clothes and stuff everyone got her!

Saturday night, we ordered take-out and stayed inside where it was warm. We played Wii (Bowling, Yahtzee, Connect Four)... Matt won at everything!!! It was a banner night for him. He got 3 Yahtzees (2 in one game!) and I got zippo! As Matt always says when he loses (which is very rarely)... "the game cheats".

Besides that, we had a pretty relaxing weekend. Sunday, the snow was crazy! It was literally blowing straight sideways! I thought about taking a video, but did not. It cleared up for bowling on Sunday night. Matt and I have a running bet each week on who bowls better (we include handicaps, of course... otherwise Matt would win all the time!) The winner gets to choose the restaurant for date-night and the loser pays. So far, this bowling season I've been winning more and it's been awesome! Of course, Matt also is trying out a new hook ball, instead of throwing his straight ball. Once he gets that down, I predict I'll be losing a lot more.

Ugh, so my relatively new phone is broken already! Piece of crap! The top sliding part is almost totally unhinged from the rest of the phone. I'm pretty sure the phone will be completely unusable once that happens. Awesome. And of course, I did not get the insurance, so I will be forking over the cash to either fix it or get a new one. I may go back to a basic phone without the sliding keyboard.

I watched the Bachelor finale last night and the whole "after the rose" crap. I had read online a few days ago that this is what was predicted to happen... he picks Melissa and dumps her and picks Molly in the end. ABC apparently gave it away in the previews of him proposing, because you could see Melissa's pinky ring. Well, I didn't know he was going to dump Melissa on national television... that was kind of harsh. That whole "after the rose" thing seemed a little too set up to me and totally just for ratings. I can't believe Jason would drop one fiance' and then try to get back together with a different girl in a matter of minutes. Oh, and that scene with DeAnna coming back seemed scripted to me. I think she just wanted the free trip to New Zealand. : )

OH! Forgot to mention, I NEVER heard from the Bahamas Flake again, as if any of you are surprised. I am so amazed that she is still employed with her company. I need to find out how to place a complaint with her boss! ANYWAY, we have a new hotel and a new wedding planner and we actually are in negotiations on a contract! YAY!!! I am so excited that we are coming closer to having something set in stone. It will take a load of stress off me!

Ok, I think that covers it! Hopefully, it won't be over a week until I remember to post something again! : )
