Did everything just taste purple?

Okay, so I should be working on my paper...which was my intention, but I have felt the need to blog since Friday...so, here goes.

Friday was so fun! Early Friday morning, Zainab and I could have been found at Wal-Mart...okay, well late Thursday night, but Friday morning, at her house glittering. We were being completely 'girly'. It was fun. We made a "just married" poster for Lara's door. Actually, Zainab made it, I just added some stickers. Yeah, I got home around 2:30 or so Friday morning. Woo! So fun though. But we got up early and met some of our fellow research buddies at Lara's office to decorate her door. Little did I know that it would turn into an all day event. We blew up ballloons, signed the poster, and put it all on the door. We were even allowed into her office to put more balloons inside. Okay, so Zainab went to class, I went to code and later we picked up Renesha and bought more supplies for the decoration process. I didn't get to go finish, but I'll get to that later. Zainab and John ended up blowing up tons of balloons and filling the office with them. I can't wait to get a reaction from Lara! :)

I left the decorating party to meet up with Becca. Friday was her b-day. I went shopping with her b/c she needed new clothes and her parents were paying (b-day). It was really fun. I'm glad she found what she was looking for. It was so good to hang out with her. We hadn't done that in a while. We had a pretty eventful day and had a great time. It was so fun!

When I got home around 4:30 or so, I called Zainab---who was still blowing up balloons. I was going to go help her, but she said they were almost finished so I just met her at her house. John showed up too and we all hung out for a while. Then I came home to get my phone and Becca came back with me. I had to go to work, but she stayed. I was so surprised, but very happy b/c Becca's not the type of girl to hang out with people that she doesn't know very well---esp. on a more intimate level. I came back from work and they were all having a great time. I'm kinda sad I missed it.:( But we hung out for a bit and watched a movie. It was a lot of fun. Yay for Becca!

Last night we were going to hang out, but Zainab wasn't feeling well b/c of things that had happened earlier in the week. So I took her to the doctor. Everything's fine. She's still not feeling completely well, but she's doing a little better. I hope it ends soon. Maybe things will get better as things get less stressful.

She and I hung out again tonight and didn't get anything done. It's kind of been a weekend like that. But it has been fun. Becca made a point--growing up has a lot to do with the choices you make. We all had a great time and we were just being ourselves. It was wonderful. I love the fact that we can all have different viewpoints and can just be ourselves. It's great. Becca said priorities have changed and that we don't have a lot in common with our peers. In that she meant that it seems that partying is a big part of everyone else's 'good times.' Not that we don't like to go out and have fun, but it's not necessary for fun. I agree.

To address the earlier 'girly' comment. Maybe I was just in one of those moods. Or maybe if you want me to do something 'girly', ya better catch me during that time of the month---it may be your only chance. I dunno. Anyway...it's getting late and I'm out of things to talk about...so, 'til next time...
