Its like I'm on a tire-swing...


I had a prettyyy good week/weekend.

Football camp wed-friday.

Did some ass kicking and pwned in Helena...

I love that game, even if you do come out of it sore as hell for days.

Its a strange gratification, working as a team, being buddy buddy with all these people.

Uplifting in general.

After the camp I headed to the Relay for Life for around 30 minutes.

It was pretty cool, I ate about 6 bananas, 3 cookies, 1 brownie, and had 1 water.

It was the first year I haven't been able to do it so I was kinda sad about that...oh well.


If I wasn't playing football, I was playing with my Wii.

ner.. AHAHAHAHA....jk

but seriously.


No its a fun device, and it helped pass the usual night shelby talk time.

Yeah I'd have to say Mario = Shelby....


jaykayjaykay jaysus i'm a kidder.

Saturday came rolling around and I had to work.

It was Ranch Days at the ranch and I had parking for the morning.






I just sat in a parking lot for three hours and I was done.

I went home and ate, sat around a bit, then planned the night.


I was hoping to see Shelby for the first time in over a week (omg long time I know) so we arranged to go to the Helena fair.

I called up Joe and we left around 2:15 or so.

We arrived at Shelby's house and sat around and talked while waiting for Chy to get done working.

Shelby's dad filtered in and out of the room, trying to embarass her or brag about his sweet sprinkling system, both of which were pretttty sweet.

Eventually Chy came and we took off to the fair.

It was pretty hot at first and we didn't do much except buy wristbands.

Which were a dumb idea considering how many rides we went on...she was right...

We walked around, ate, talked to various mothers and friends and began with some rides.

We went on the Ferris wheel to warm up...and I've never felt like such a pussy in my life haha...

The first couple times going around scared the shit outta me...but everyone said they were a bit scared at first too...

I guess everyone eventually warmed up.


It was still too hot to go on rides so we went and sat in the grass for a while...

There was a clown nearby and Chy wanted to get a balloon from it.

She waited forever until the clown called her "mom in black".

We all had a pretty good laugh, and Chy earned a new nickname.

Mom...

Teehee.


We went on a few more rides after that, then got some lemonade and fries...both were pretty good.


Sometime between we went and watched a dumbass hypnotist dude...it was so fake I was dying haha....plus on the way there I accidentally kicked a stick and stabbed my toe and bottom of my foot, I bled all over underneath haha.

We layed in the grass for a while and talked to Shanna and whatnot, she was the only one who didn't ditch us forever.

Shes a pretty cool person, fun and easy to talk to, and doesn't treat me like I'm retarded, so its all good.

Shelbs and I layed there and had some good laughs until we finally got everyone back to us.

We kinda split up again and Shelbs and I went looking for a ride to go on.

We went to the parachute one first, but the line was monstrous.

Next up was the little mirror hall thing, the line was really long for that too.

We eventually just settled on the Ferris Wheel, even though the line was super long too.

We were probably in line for around half an hour, but it was worth it, it was a good ride.

I was getting texts and calls during this time and we had to leave almost right after, around 10:40.

Chy was uber pissed and I felt pretty shitty, but by the time we actually got to the car and outta Helena it was 11, so no biggie I guess...still felt bad.

We had a fun ride back to Elliston then, I said goodbye to Shelbs and Joe and I headed home.

We talked about various things, it was great, Joe is definitely my best bud at the moment, even though he is a silly silly man.

Well I got home a little late and got a guilt trip treatment from my mother, but we talked it out and its all good now.


I went to bed immediately, and konked out kinda slow...I felt reallllly dizzy....damn tilt a whirl.


I woke up the next morning and did parking again for the second day of Ranch Days.

It was boring again except this time I got a radio and the orders to call Dave at 11.

I rehearsed what I was going to say in my head ovvver and ovvver, but it came out all jumbled and retarded anyway, I totally blew the opportunity.

I went down to the lower yard, and just hung with Marne and Julie all day.

It was quite fun, playing bingo and making ice cream for the children.

Carson and Taylor came and visited, we talked to them for a while about lots of things.

Then the cousins came with the fam, we took them around showed them everything, then I left with them around 4.

I got to know Issac a bit, hes a cool cat, him and Annie are great together.

We all got home and while the mothers made some amazing pasta, we all played Wii and Guitar Hero.

It was a fun time...when we got our food we all watched AFV, and cried a few times haha, that damn cat.


After a while everyone kinda gathered in the kitchen and Marne whipped out the chocolate fountain.





THAT THING FUGGIN RULES.

Serious, it makes anything a tasty chocolategasm.


After that I tried exposing my young cousins to violence and vulgar humor but they had to leave...

Jake left with them.

Now I'm writing this blog.


ALONE AHH.




Wellll, I hope to hang with some buds this week...and I hope work isn't killer monotonous...and hope to see Shelby again soon....


Buuut thats just a bunch of hopes I have so I gotta keep the optimism low...juuust in case.

wha? edding

I just had a super weekend.

I went Helena Friday night for a wedding rehearsal dinner thingy.

It really wasn't a rehearsal at all, the entire fam just went to the fairgrounds and ate tacos.

Super duper time, got shit from Rod and made a sand castle with Trinity.

The rest of that night consisted of going to Hastings for some reason I forgot.

Jake and I spoiled the new Harry Potter book for lots of the hardcore kids dressed up waiting there, it was awesome...

That night Marne, Jake, Brad, and I went to the Harry Potter movie.

IT WAS GHEY.

Long boring blah blah blah....dumb movie, oh well.

Went back to my grandpa's house to crash...he's not there, he's in the home so it felt kinda weird....


...but Jake and I had fun in the wheel chair....



When I woke everyone up on Saturday by banging into their sleeping places with the wheel chair and demanding apple sauce, I knew it was going to be a good day.

The Paskeys showed up at gpa's place about an hour later, and we sat around and talked for a long time.

I got more endless shit from Rod, but also ganged up on Marne.

Pictures were at 4:30 so we had a while to mess around in Helena.

We all went down to the Target/Hastings area and did a little shopping.

Needless to say, I wanted to die.

We got the new Harry Potter book, and we finally found a Wii, so both were purchased.

Then we met Robby and his girlfriend at the Staggering Ox, for lunch.

There is some damn tasty food there.

Keegan, Trinity, and Gwen ran into us there also.

20 minutes later Fig showed up too.

We all decided if we ever needed to run into family, the Staggering Ox is the place to be on the weekends.

Next up I drove Marne and Jake to Brad's hotel, because Marne is too scared to drive some reason.....

Jake and Brad swam a little, but then Betty got us some frosties which were damn nice and distracted from the man/woman thing playing marco polo with several uncomfortably young children.

We were all tired so I drove Marne and Jake back to Gpa's and we just crashed/read until the photos.

The wedding was to be at the golf course... and we only knew of one in Helena.

We ended up going to the one near Caroll, which was wrong.

After driving around for 45 more minutes, we found the actual location, right before Ft. Harrison.

A rich snobby dude owned it and had 23423521345 dead animals in just one section of his house.

We missed pictures, so we sat around outside until the wedding was to begin.

It was a nice wedding, short and sweet.

Shanes a cool dude saying baby after every sentence and whatnot.

Suave.

Next up we went to the Caroll Commons for the reception.

THE FOOD WAS DAMN TASSSSTY.

I went back for seconds.

We mainly sat around at the table with Rod and Brad, while they gave me shit about stuff I had no idea they knew so much about.

And suprisingly, I was one of the first out on the dancefloor...

Normally I would die before going onto it..butttt.... little Trinity came up to me and asked me and I've never seen such an adorable thing....I couldn't turn her down haha.

I still didnt do much, she mainly ran and pranced around while I stood aside and supervised.

To make a point about how shy I am about dancing, I was offered a $5 for every aunt I danced with and $10 for my mother.

I turned down every offer but very reluctantly and I felt very guilty for being such an introvert.

The shit giving, drinking, and middle aged women I dont know hitting on me climaxed then died down after the song "fins" was played.

After this song my family decided to pack up and leave if we wanted to get home at a reasonable time.

We got home around 10, played some Wii, and headed to bed feeling very refreshed and satisfied, yet tired.



Now I'm here, slightly bored, but enjoying just sitting around after being out and about, it was a crazy weekend.

Shelby is home for the weekend, and I'm hopin to talk to her before she leaves again, but if not, no biggie, I'm actually doing really well while shes gone (haha I mean that as in I'm not freaking out like in March), the days seem to be going smooth and I've been really busy and will have lots to do this week and weekend so I can be patient and wait as long as I need to... I'll prolly start whining soon though heehee.

This weekend the Gilbertsons are coming from Wisconsin.... I'm pretty excited, I saw them for only a few hours last year as opposed to the usual week I get to spend with em.

Annie is bringing her boyfriend...this could be interesting.....

Thursday and Friday I do not work....instead....I work Saturday and Sunday for the Ranch Days......


PARKING WITH ANITA DORE IN THE BLISTERING SUN YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

something new/10 new albums

I love life.

I'm super happy and whatnot.

But I need to get outta routine.

I want to do something outta the blue, that I wouldn't normally do, something I have to think outside of the box for.

ROUTINE is satisfying, but I know it can get better than that.

Problem is, I don't know what, or how, or when to do whatever it is to change that haha.



OH WELL.




Downloading 10 new albums




SO YES..


work tomorrow...


NOOOOOOOo



looking forward to a pretty good week, hopefully can visit shelby sometime...after her red hat escapade haha.


nightttt.

huzzaaahhh/transformers





Starting on Thursday, I hung out with Shelby for three days in a row.

Thursday was a surprise, but a very pleasant one.

I went to the weight room and turned out to be the only one who showed (cept those who got kicked lol bob you fiend)...Shelby was at bball camp and when I came out for water she mumbled something to me. I had no idea what she said, but kinda got the idea. I went back in and lifted for a while hoping what I thought was right (dead serious), and it turned out it was after I had a clearer convo with her. We watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail that night.

She giggled like there was no tomorrow, which in turn made me giggle like there was no tomorrow.

But there was a tomorrow, the next day she came over with Cheyenne while she washed windows.

I didn't want to bore shelbs with another movie/we had to leave eventually anyway so we decided to walk around.

This turned out to be a lot of fun, we talked the whole time, got a tiny cup o ice cream (we felt dumb in line haha) and visited Jessica. We ended up being late and had to rush to meet Brian. We all ended up going to his house where we watched shelby play with an etchy sketch (and do very well) and had puzzle races (which we won) and watched some of Uncle Buck.

Overall another awesome day.

The third day was a bit sketchy, cause we really couldn't get a hold of Brian right away, so chy had to hang with us and she was pretty pissed being the "third wheel"...I did my best not to make it weird, but I don't think it mattered much. We went to the park for a while, then back to my house and watched Arrested Development. Chy then went to wash windows, and shelby and I watched TV.

We watched super scary discovery channel shows and an amazing cake contest on the food channel ( i told you you've been missing out)

That was super fun.

Chy then came back and we couldn't get a hold of brian still, but she toughed it for a while then they decided to leave the instant brian called.

Everyone gathered back at the house to watch matt sewell play guitar hero and to watch an episode of the office after he left.

Chy and brian made us move to the futon....(whatever their loss)...they just don't know how to make the futon work.

It was a good time overall...but I did feel bad for shelby and chy....it was really quiet for a while....oh well not much I could do.


They all left after that and I was feeling awesome, it had been a super 3 days.

On sunday I moved the computer into my room because we have to clean out that room to make carpet installation possible.

Its quite convenient haha.

I went to work today, it seems to become easier everyday, but sometimes I do get quite bored.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to goto Transformers with the guys and gals, it should be quite fun...and if we don't get a ticket then we'll just see or do something else, I just like being around my friends.



fourth of july = silence at cabin


hopefully not too boring.
