Weekend's Adventures

This weekend was quite the adventure...but isn't that what Labor Day Weekend is all about??

Getting to live a few more days of summer in the middle of the beginning of school just to give ya a little reprieve before school starts to get REALLY demanding again (I swear if mine gets any tougher I'm going to collapse before our next break...)

WELL as far as breaks go, mine certainly was that.

Friday night was my break from responsibility...

(La teammates)

WEEEELLLLI wasn't supposed to run in a scrimmage race Friday afternoon
(hurt my achilles...)
but my coach decided he didn't want to listen to the trainer and asked me to run anyway
soooo just did a PART of it (had to get SOME kind of workout in).
 it was so nice to run part of the race without the pressure of really competing.
Not that I dislike the competition, but sometimes it's nice to have a break from the norm, especially seeing that we won't be having any breaks from competition all season.... I also got to encourage my teammates all through the race and it was so rewarding to help them reach their goal times and push themselves.
 As soon as I got home from that I jumped in the shower, ate a quick snack, and headed to the football game...
 IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!
Our team KILLED the competition and I liked being out there to support the guys and see everyone
...for about 30 minutes...
 and then it just got hot and gross and stinky and sweaty
SOOO, naturally, my friends and I left
and went to Whole Foods for some grub... 
CALIFORNIA. CLUB. ON. GLUTEN. FREE. BREAD= BEST DECISION EVER.

 It was so good (dunh dunh) so good (dunh dunh) so good (do doo doo doooooooo)
annd then we went back to my friend's dad's casa. 
Except he wasn't home... so we had people over(: and THAT was really funny. 
Especially because her older stepsister was there and had a couple friends over and they were QUITE tipsy- it was our entertainment any time we went into the house..
 But then we found out about another party that was going on SOOO we left her dad's and all drove to this other girls. 
IT. WAS. CRAZY. 
and the weirdest party I've ever been to... 
She has the perfect house for it and her parents don't care about what's going on BUUUT it was just the strangest vibe and ehhhhh. 
Not an awful party but just not exactly the most fun place to be driving for ya know?
 Highlights: lots of white girl schwasted booty poppin and people jumping off the roof into the pool.
 Oh and the girl whose house it was at has ponies!!! 
(Of course we went see them!)  
 none of that actually happened. Well it might have.. depends on who you ask...

Saturday: BEST DAY OF THE WEEK. Break from boredom

Babysitting.

HOW PRESH IS HE?!?!? Love this little guy...

After babysitting the real fun began:
some family friends and I had been planning a surprise p@rTay for 2 of our friends, Anna Kat and Davis, (whose birthdays are next weekend) that was scheduled to commence Saturday afternoon (and did...I just like the way the past tense sounds on that part...yes, I just did that.)

MY part of the plan was to pick up Anna Kat's sis from their casa, pick up Anna Kat from work, and convince both of them it was time to go horse back riding at my cousin's house.
 And they bought it, but (according to plan) when we got to my cousin's, we found out that the horses were at pasture and we couldn't ride them and (according to plan) Anna Kat's little sistah's gluc-o-meter just so happened to be all the way BACK at their house.

All the while, the guys were getting Davis to Anna Kat's house (location of la surprise) so we were just kinda stalling/covering up

And then we headed back to Anna Kat's to get the glucometer, went inside to talk to her sis for a second, adn then (according to plan) the boys showed up because they wanted to come visit for a sec. Magically Anna Kat and Davis both turned around at the same time and we took advantage and screamed SURPRISEEEEE as more of our friends started running from every direction, nook, and cranny in the house. It was great.

And then.................................. we had a paint war.

most of da crew (after)

And waterballoon fight

and jumped on the trampoline with soap, played frisbee, dribbled some soccer balls, chilled, ate, ate, ate, had a cookie cake (and cookie cake fight) and just had a great evening. It was spectacular. Plus once the boys left we girls finished off the cookie cake. SO WORTH IT.

Sunday- break from da boys

Was supposed to be Tunica Hills hiking day BUUUT due to some extenuating circumstances that didn't work out for anyone.
 But I DID get to go to mass and hear a lovely gospel about humility.
And my brothers went fishing with my dad so we had a girls night. When I say girls night, it was more like girls' afternoon and evening.
We had a pool party at my cousin's with just my mom, sisters and I, then went to Whole Foods for some dinner (it's been a deliciously WHOLEsome weekend:)) and then came back home and baked gluten free chocolate cupcakes
 (POSITIVELY SCRUMPTIOUS).

Jane was the master baker....

I just helped as needed: 

I'll have to post the recipe because it was H-E-A-V-E-N-L-Y.

 Oh and Sunday I started working on making my homecoming dress. I don't actually have a date.... but that's not really as important as the dress, now is it?

Monday (today)- bReak from plans.

I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Kidding. But it was all unplanned. Which is basically as relaxing as doing nothing.

Ran 5 miles (way too fast:)) around the Lakes
 and then went home and made an egg white, turkey, spinach omelet and smoothies for the fam
 (well just the girls since the boys were fishing)

And then just chilled all day...
 worked on HW, ACT prep, visited my grandma and had lunch with she and my cousin, did some more college application stuff and scholarship applications, and science fair.
Seriously, that stuff wears ya out! But it was a good day.....
and I'm now going to go do a little core and stretching
 to close a great (non-labor intensive) Labor Day Weekend.

Ciao!
