And when the clock strikes 4 on Friday Night…

This past weekend, and even week, was a great one, even though I had to say farewell to one of my buddies for awhile. Tuesday night S got back from Florida (ironic, one leaves and one comes back to me) and on Wednesday he and I met up with N and L. We went to see Wall-E and got some Cold Stone. The movie was cute, and the ice cream was good, too. My favorite combination is a Like It cotton candy ice cream with marshmallows and rainbow sprinkle mix-ins. L kept doing the Wall-E voice, too, and I must say she was pretty good at it! She also thought the new milkshakes at Cold Stone were called Nerr-guys because the poster said NrGize. Takes her awhile haha.

Thursday night, the start of my Fourth of July weekend and N’s last night in Jersey until August 1st , we all went to Friendly’s and ordered the Crowd Pleaser. For those of you who don’t know, the Crowd Pleaser is a 12 scoop sundae, 6 toppings not including whipped cream and cherries. It was both disgusting and delicious. Someone had the bright idea to order maple walnut (or something equally as weird) and it was gross!! It tainted all of the flavors around it. I can’t remember all of the flavors we ordered, but some of them were: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, black raspberry (S), chocolate chip cookie dough (L), coffee (N), forbidden chocolate, mint chocolate chip (Me), cookies ‘n’ cream, and butter crunch (equally as gross as maple walnut). It was a plethora of colors and flavors. Then we realized N was sick so we wouldn’t let him touch certain areas with his spoon. That lasted about 2 seconds and resulted in a mini-ice cream war. L literally tried to steal a cookie dough chunk off my spoon as I was raising it to my mouth. Bunch of wild animals! Afterwards we went back to my house and watched Family Guy until N departed for good. Bye N, have fun and be safe! And bring me back a baby koala!

Sadly, I did not get to watch said fireworks this year. The weather was too crappy to see them on Friday, and fighting the shoobie traffic in order to see hazy, foggy lights is not worth it. Plus, it started raining around 9:00. I hate rain! I had a really nice day, anyway. I slept in until about 12. I went over to visit my buddy J, who FINALLY decided to come home for a weekend. I ate dinner with my family, and afterward headed over to S’s for the night. We hung out outside around the pool for a little with his family. They gave me apple pie with vanilla ice cream, which made up for the rain and missed fireworks . Later we just basically relaxed the rest of the night. It was very nice fourth of July.

On Saturday I got up early (well, 10:30) and went shopping and got all of S’s birthday stuff done (yay)! – S’s birthday is on Friday!! can’t wait!! – That night I babysat for these 3 little adorable girls. It was great because everyone else I babysit is a boy, so Saturday I got to take a trip down memory lane and play Barbie and Pretty, Pretty Princess and color. It reminded me of the good old days when life was easier and I didn’t have to pay for gas. All that was needed was an easy bake oven! Plus I got to watch the Disney Channel again, which I have no excuse to do anymore even though I secretly want to (yeah Suite Life!). And I got free Rita’s and they paid me some gas money on top of my rate. All in all, a pretty productive night!

Sunday I spent the day at S’s, just relaxing in/around the pool. I had dinner there, and then S and I watched Hellboy – one of S’s early birthday presents!!   We have been wanting to see it for awhile now, ever since we saw the trailer for Hellboy II. It was pretty good, a lot different than I expected. Better than I expected, actually (I think the sequel looks even better). The DVD came with a free ticket to go see Hancock, which we will be doing tonight! We go to see a lot of movies… maybe it’s unhealthy, but I don’t care! I go to the gym everyday and work 9-5 so that justifies it.

As you can probably tell, I am getting pretty excited for S’s birthday weekend and celebration week! Probably more excited than him, haha! I have a surprise on July 19th for him, and he can’t figure it out yet, and it’s great!! I can’t wait! He’ll never guess it.
