I Bowl Better In The Hallway

On Friday I went to Rachel's house. Her house was packed with teens, which she proceeded to introduce me to each of. "Of course I'm going to remember every face and name now," I told her grinning. There were kids eating at the table and laughing, and the other half of the group were in the living room playing Wii sports. After awhile we all sat down, squeezing into the couches (And one guy on the floor!) to watch a scary movie. It was one with Kristen Stewart in it when she was younger called "The Messengers". As usual it failed to frighten me, although once I accidentally gasped and didn't realize it was me until I heard the gasp!! Since I was late the numbers dwindled down fast after the movie ended and only Rachel's closer friends stuck around when we switched the Wii back on and began the tournament! It was Rachel, (who was the only one I knew there) Kiley, Rachel W., Sylvn and Aaron. Aaron kept running into the hallway to throw his bowling ball for the Wii each time, and every time he did it he got strikes! He was convinced his technique was the secret and insisted on doing it every time! We switched off playing bowling mostly until Sylvn and Aaron's mom picked them up. Kiley and Rachel Whiteley were the only ones staying the night aside from me! Kiley wanted to buy a pizza so she called Domino's, but the guy didn't tell her the prices until she asked after he'd already spouted off a bunch of other facts. She was so surprised when she heard the price she hung up on the poor pizza guy!! Then she called Pizza Hut. This guy talked a million miles a minute, she could barely get a word in edgewise, and had to try to keep from laughing as she also tried to talk and order. She had to have Rachel give him the adress as she collapsed in a fit of giggles! Then we had to call the guy back to ask him not to ring the doorbell since Rachel's parents had already gone to bed. We hung out and Rachel made a powerpoint for her sister. We watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The poor pizza guy had to knock on the door and stand out in the cold with the pizza while we came and paid him. And this was after he had driven an hour to deliver it! We all fell asleep around 2 AM eating several boxes of candy (We'd been expecting more girls to stay the night)! The next day Kiley and Rachel Whiteley left around noon and Rach and I hung out until her dad drove us to her sister Kirsten's. We all three went to Belair and got a couple sandwhiches to share and some drinks. We ate them at her house and went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. We went back to Kirsten's and she did an ab workout! Then we took her dog Honey, and her pit bull/white lab mix puppy, Maya for a walk. I took Maya from Rachel and tried running, until Kirsten took Maya and left us to drag Honey along, the smaller, less energetic dog. Rach and I stopped at some metal benches long enough to top our jokes about being attacked by hobos as it got darker. "Some hobos will probably sleep on these tonight," she said, sitting on a large metal bench and looking down at it. "Lay down on it and pretend to be a hobo sleeping on the bench!" I told her laughing and standing back with my camera phone on. She obliged and I took a dark, less than perfect but hilarious picture of "Rachel the Hobo". I hadn't seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 yet, so on the way back to Rachel's, Kirsten drove us to the 7Eleven to get it from Redbox so I could see it. 7Eleven didn't have a certain ice cream treat they wanted me to try to Kirsten said she'd drive to Walmart if Rachel bought. So we did:). Several aisles of makeup, an accidental spanish magazine and a box of ice cream through the self checkout later we left Walmart and went home. We ate ice cream on the way home, but by the time Rachel's parents finished their movie it was late. Kirsten and I ate bowls of cereal before she left and we started the movie. It was super early by the time it ended and we, half asleep, pried ourselves off the couch and went upstairs to roll into her bed and sleep like logs. I ended up going to church with her this morning. It was a lot of fun and I gave out a lot of ice cream gum (they all loved it for the record for all you mint chocolate chip ice cream gum haters!). Mom picked me up a little before the service ended though, and Rachel walked me out. Then it was off to the airport to pick up dad, then to the gas station to pick up Abbie and Lexie. For the first time in a long time our whole family is home at once, and now in a couple days we'll be leaving to go camping for two weeks! Wowza I am tired and I have a lot of packing and helping to do tomorrow so I better go wash the dishes and go to sleep!! So tired! Love you guys, peace out!
