Week Six: Glitter, Guns, and Good Food

Monday was an exciting day to say the least. It has become tradition in my apartment to somehow decorate each person's room for their birthday. Since Lauren's was coming up Erika was experimenting with an awesome glitter balloon idea from Pinterest. The balloons looked awesome and fun with blue glitter inside, but unfortunately we had a balloon explosion incident that left our apartment covered in blue glitter. Not the worst problem to have, but still somewhat of a hassle as glitter is impossible to clean. Let's just say I definitely feel like a celebrity or something as I walk through our hallway...

Tuesday was nothing special. I've been on a horrific junk food kick since the weekend. I started with a full bag of skittles (one of the big bags, not the little packets) and by Tuesday had eaten the whole thing almost completely myself except for what's left in this mug. I just couldn't help myself but at the same time I realize how ridiculously disgusting that is haha.

Wednesday: Another uneventful day. Some of my roommates are fans of the tv show "Psych." I've watched it a few times but definitely don't catch every single episode. Anyway, so one o fthe main features of the show is that in every episode a pineapple is strategically hidden somewhere in one of the scenes. So while you're watching the show, you are also trying to locate a pineapple. As a fun little game we hid our own pineapple in the apartment. Whoever finds it gets to hide it for next time. Erika has had it for a while now and hides it really really well, so this week she re-hid it to give us some hope of actu ally locating it. I never really spend too much time searching, it's usually somewhere that you'll eventually stuble across it so we'll see how this one goes!

Thursday it was Lauren's 21st birthday! I had quite a few great pictures to pick from, but I wanted to brag a little about my awesome brownie decorating skills. I have the most unsteady hands and no talent in cursive writing, but for some reason this icing turned out fantastic if I do say so myself. They taste pretty good too :) We went out to a bar called the Library for a little while to celebrate, but didn't stay too long as I had an Anatomy test to be studying for. It counts as studying if the bar is named "the Library" right? ;)

Friday was birthday celebration part two! We went out to a mexican restaraunt with Lauren and her extended family. It was really fun to get to meet more of her family. We had a huge group and great food!

Saturday was ADPi's "Dad's Weekend." We went skeet shooting like last year, only this time you traveled to different stations to shoot at different targets. For whatever reason, I had so much more fun this year! I felt a lot more comfortable with the guns (last year was my first time ever shooting a gun, and it hurt!) and I even actually hit a target! (That's one more than last year! Haha). It was so cold outside near the end of the morning but I definitely enjoyed it. And dad definitely held his own with the real Texas hunters... overall was a great morning. We topped it off with a trip to get some excellent barbeque, just in case skeet shooting wasn't southern enough.

Sunday (well, technically Saturday evening but it lasted until after midnight so I'm counting it as Sunday!) I was invited to a concert at Billy Bob's. I'm not a huge country fan but I had a really good time dancing and chatting and watching Lauren freak out about Luke Bryan. He's got some wonderful dance moves and was fun to watch. I don't think country will ever be my thing, but I'm glad I went! It's been snowing/sleeting here on and off so I'm currently crossing my fingers for a snow day tomorrow... unlikely but a girl can dream. On Wednesday it's supposed to be back up in the 70s again! Texas weather is usually hard to keep up with but this season it's been especially confusing!
