Summer Cold

This past weekend I was in Grand Rapids for a few days. Friday after work Ashley and I drove over to see my aunt and 4 month old cousin. Not really a drive you want to do at 9 o clock and just wanting to be home. But we got there and had some pizza, played with Emma a bit (the baby) and watched random TV before going to bed around 1.

Saturday I woke up early because of Emma. My aunt has AC so she doesn't own any fans, and even though we have AC at our house I always have a fan on me...I like to be freezing. So I slept like crap the first night, fell asleep around probally 2. Then woke up around 8 because of Emma. So I knew it was going to be a long day. We dropped Emma off at my Aunt Mary (lives about 10 mins away) so that we could do our birthday thing Judy had planned. First we went to lunch which was mexican, because Grand Rapids has a few good places and Okemos doesn't have any mexican any more which is not cool. Any who, after lunch we went and got our 'Birthday Gifts'. Which was full body massages from a spa place. If you've never had any type of massage I highly suggest it. I actually like giving them also, but thats beside the point. Any who, last summer we had facials which was just as fun in a different way. But the full body was awesome. She worked on my back forever, and I guess I had a lot of knots because that took forever.

After the massages we picked up Emma and my other cousin Alyssa for the night. We rented like 3 movies and went back and hung out for the night. We first watched 'Spanglish' which was pretty good but seemed long. I normally don't watch dramas so that might be why. Then we went out to dinner and returned to watch 'The Notebook'; a personal favoriate of mine, and 'Miss Congeniality 2'. Funny in parts, but I liked the first one better I think. Hard to tell becasue it was late and I was tired (and sick).

Sleeping was better that night because I crashed in the basement and its cooler down there. But Sunday we all woke up and went out to lunch and shortly after that Ashley and I drove home. I talked to Kelly most of the way, and some how we turned the like hour and a half trip into just about an hour. (We didn't mention that to my dad...lol).

After returning home I continued to feel like shit. My nose was horrible and my head felt like a balloon. Basically I had what my dad claimed as a 'Summer Cold'. Well thats just dandy. Today watching Killian hasn't been a big deal but I don't want to go clean tonight, just because I'll get done with something, sneeze, then have to redo it or something. Let alone how achy I am. Normally when I'm sick I am pretty cranky. But last night I was very nice to my dad, and appreciated the stuff he was doing for me. Yay for me for not being a bitch!

Also I have a few different plans now that its August, as in mini trips. Actually three major ones. Unfortenatly over the last few days every single one has been altered not for the good. So that currently IS making me cranky. But what can you do. Any who...basically this summer sucks. I hate it, there has been nothing good, and not much to look forward to....I wana go back.
