Small Spaces = Not for Me.

Friday my sister texted me asking what Dave & I were doing for the weekend. Since no major plans were set, she decided her & Riley would go on a Road Trip. (The "boys" -her husband & son- were camping for the weekend) It was supposed to take them at least four hours to get here, but they made it in 3.5 hours with a stop or to along the way. (I think we drive the same way)

Such a wonderful weekend.
& here are some pictures:

Me at the "pond" behind our apartment.
Why is my stomach sticking out?

Sisters!
This was a HORRIBLE picture of me
so I tried to make it look not-so-scary by messing the light up.
I don't think it worked though! :/

I am getting chills by just looking at this picture.
You see, we decided to play a little hide-and-seek.
It started by all of us taking different turns hiding Riley.
(Who would nicely fit into small areas)
..and then Riley wanted me to hide.
So Dave & Riley wait outside
& Kirsten and I are running around to find a spot for me.
We settled on this little cabinet beside the sink.
As soon as I got in there I started feeling sick.
But, I had to wait until Dave/Riley found me.
I didn't want to be the loser who couldn't hide.
I believe that I am extremely claustrophobic.

The story is pretty funny though.
They looked for about 10 minutes.
Couldn't find me.
So Dave is all "I'm trying to find things out of place"
and then, he FINALLY notices the crockpot
is by his desk, under his bag.
(Firstly, I couldn't hide under his bag, too small)
I was like CRAP I'm totally getting caught now.
but, (haha) I do the cooking
and Dave didn't know where I normally put the crockpot.
So I had a few more minutes of him searching
until I was finally found.

By the time I got out, (and you can start to see it in the picture)
My foot had turned completely purple
and hurt so bad.
Dave opens the cabinet and Riley yells,
"AUNT MEGAN YOUR FOOT IS PURPLE!!!!"
It took another 15 minutes to get back to normal.

There was a lot of this for a short visit.
Riley would get on Dave's back
and he'd "flop down" and then do a push up.
She was totally amused.

I tried, thank goodness there were no pictures.
it's a lot harder than it looks.
(& can we take a moment and stare at the sexy arms..mmm)

It was late, and you can tell that by the grossness of my face.
This picture reminds me of HOW GREAT Dave is going
to be at being a "daddy"
3 years. That's all I have to wait :)

Riley & I taking a walk.

She is so precious :)

Tell me, what did YOU do this weekend?

What would you do?

I am totally grossed out by trash. Especially kitchen trash, but I don't even like the trash can that's under my desk to have more than a couple pieces of paper in it before I am taking it out to the big trashcan. I can't take out the trash without gagging, so luckily that's one duty I now will not have to do.

With all of that said, we bought a TON of new stuff this weekend. (pictures will come later--maybe tomorrow when we can sort more things to their right places, it's HARD to move!!) We got 2 desks, a dresser, a 42" TV, entertainment center, and a bookcase.

Well, Dave was looking up the TV brand (to make sure it was a good one like we thought) and couldn't find it anywhere on the net, so he e-mailed me and asked if I could check the dumpster to see if it were still there. (We were going to return it)--(They do pickup on Monday) I was hoping that it wasn't.

and.then.I.had.to.do.the.nastiest.thing

I had to climb over trash bags to get our TV box.

To whoever didn't tie their trashbag:
How gross are you? My flip flop had to be thrown away because I got your nastyness on my shoe. Gross Gross Gross. Welcome to 2008, they do make the drawstring trash bags now, buy some!!
Sincerely,
Shoeless woman.

Needless to say, I only gagged a couple of times and now we have our box back. But wait, Dave wasn't typing in the right brand so it turns out our TV is GOOD and we're keeping it!

I e-mailed Dave to tell him that I had successfully retrieved the box, this is what I got back:
I am so proud of you for getting the box baby...(he knows that certain chore is one I will NOT do) I will put it back tonight..(of course you will.) Can't wait to see you. (aww) Love you...(more aww) You are the bestest in the world...(even more aww!)
