So all I can say is WOW, what a weekend!  I left Eau Claire on Thursday and stopped by the girls house in Point to get some more orders, then I headed off to good old wild rose!  I got home and helped my sister with her new computer.  She got a Dell, its awesome!  God I wish I had enough money to buy a new computer, but I am stuck with my laptop for another couple of years.  Then on Friday My mom took me, my sis and my two cousins to Giltec(i think thats how you spell it) in Appleton and we got manicures and pedicures! It was great!  I think I am addicted now.    My mom always does that for my two cousins for their birthdays, she takes them on a girly day out.  ANd since it was actually my little sisters birthday ( she is 18 now!!) Of course she went too!  I got to go to, cuz hell, I wanted too!!    Anyway, then we drove off to Green Bay where we met the rest of my family at Lambeau Field.  We tailgated in the parking lot and ate brats and drank beer.  Good times had by all!  Then we went to the scrimmage, or "family night" as the Packers call it.  It was pretty cool.  They played the buffalo bills, they couldn't tackle the quarter backs, but everyone else was fair game, so we got to see some football.  The packers looked decent, but they definitely need to work on defense, seriously!  Favre looked awesome, so lets hope he can pull off a great season.    I had such a great time hanging with my family and cheering, it was great.  Then after the game we went to the hotel.  THe next day we went to the Tundra lodge, which is a hotel with an indoor water park.  I would just like to say that I am 21, but I was 12 for the day.    All my cousins and I were going down the water slides and playing in the water playground.  It was a great time and it was nice to just be a kid for a few hours, forget about all the stresses of life.  Then later we went to see Wedding Crashers, which is the best movie I have ever seen!! Seriously, I laughed through the entire thing, and so did the rest of the audience.  I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time.  Then On sunday we all went over to my aunts house for my cousins birthday.  As soon as I walk in my uncle goes, "hey mal, I have a drink for ya!" and he hands me a huge glass of strip and go naked, which is vodka, beer and lemonade.  Lets just say I drank slowly, cuz I didn't want to be drunk in front of my family.    We just basically sat around and talked, which was great.  I would just like to say that hanging out with my family was such a great time and I really needed it.  Its just good to know that if all your friends drop you, then you still have your family.  And I would just like to say that my family is pretty awesome, of course there is some drama, but overall they are great.

Now, I have to start preparing for the semester to start.  I haven't even looked at any spanish all summer and I have to start preparing for APO, but I am trying not to stress about it.  Cuz then I freak out and die. haha. Anyway, I have talked enough, I need some sleep cuz either A) I am sick or B) I just have allergies, not sure which one.  GOOD NIGHT!
