nothing is ever as good as it was....

i intended to get up at eight today. that didn't work out. i kept hitting the snooze button on my cell phone, but i got tired of being woken up every five minutes, so i eventually turned it off. i finally got up at ten, figuring i should have some breakfast or cereal before i left for church. that was nice. i read the ads in the paper, fully intending to ignore them and not plan on buying anything. i do that every sunday and i probably always will. am i such a consumer that i feel the need to read ads without paying attention to them? does it prevent me from buying things during the week? is there some kind of meter in my head that requires shopping stimulus and when it's low i have to go out and buy something?
the comics weren't very funny. i always think get fuzzy is funny, though. anyways....i was watching the beginning of a nascar race with my dad (don't worry, that's a one time thing) when i hear my neighbor's voice. she's standing in the kitchen, wrapped in a towel asking if we have a set of housekeys to let her into her house. apparently she was painting and locked herself out. or else swimming. one of the two. so, she asked my brother to break her window and climb in so he could open the front door. after that happened, she gave us a tour of the house (she's done a lot of painting and buying) and it looks pretty cool. cluttered. but cool. her husband is a sculptor, so there's a bunch of marble sculptures throughout their house. she said they're going to have to start selling some...they're running out of room for all of them. by the time the tour was over, it was 11:15, and i usually leave for church at 11:05 with jon.
i sat and watched part of the race with my dad when jon called and said he was going to be late. he got to my house at about 11:30 and we decided to just stay home. at 1, we went to the library to go volunteer. that was fun. uneventful. rosa was working, so she sent me downstairs to buy her a pepsi and so i could buy a snack. after that, i went back down again for a second snack run. gave jon some ritz chips. i won a movie set at the library (tickets, cups, and popcorn passes) for entering a volunteer raffle (yay!) and when we got back to my house, jon and i looked at movie times. i wanted to see stepbrothers and he wanted to see the new mummy movie, but they were both special engagements, so we didn't see one today. he was pretty much falling asleep at the table, so i asked of he wanted to take a nap one the floor with me. i ended up playing with his hair and i fell asleep like that. i don't know what it is, but it's happened to me a few times....where you fall asleep doing something and when you wake up, you try to over-compensate? I would fall asleep with my fingers in his hair and wake up and then try to stay awake by messing up his hair. it didn't work, because i kept falling asleep. i heard him snore a few times, though :D he kept laughing at me because i was drooling on the carpet.
after that, we watched the office with my family and ate dinner. it was nice. after that, i don't even remember what we did. my parents started watching this weird show about sex and technology, so i left and hung out with sam and jon in the living room. we ended up playing pictionary on jon's phone (he has a drawing tool, so we went to a word generating website and tried to draw whatever came up. we laughed a lot. then jon left and here i am. laying on my brother's bed, writing my blog and whining about my essay.
boo hoo. school starts in a week.
