I had the weirdest weekend. I’ll start off with the baby shower, it sucked. Seriously. I don’t know if it was because I was a bad hostess or because the ‘father to be’ is an A$$, but everything sucked. First off nobody knew each other, she invited one person (couple) from every group that she knew. So that was awkward. Second off the father to be decided that he didn’t want to be involved except he would like to get everybody drunk. He went out and bought over $100.00 of alcohol, which in my opinion is completely inappropriate. He didn’t want to sit next to his girlfriend and help her in any way, and he was just a complete pompous the hole time. Nobody wanted to play any games and they just wanted to open the presents and then have a party. I really think the worst part of it was that I had to stay there the whole time. I wanted to leave so bad! And I wanted to punch this guy in the face on my way out. I feel so bad for this girl, why is she with him??? UGH!

(*side note) Speaking of bad couples, James just e-mailed me and told me that him and his gf/fiancé broke up. While I feel for him and what he must be going through after living together and dating for 2 or 3 years I am beyond ecstatic. I seriously wanted to cry because I was so happy. It has to be the best thing he has done in his life in a long time.

Then on Sunday my mom and I worked on invitations all day, just cutting and cutting paper. It was really tiring. I would have rather paid the extra $200.00 to have the invitation place cut them, but oh well.

So my cable got shut off because I completely forgot about it (again), and while I could just pay it I decided to keep it off to see what happened. It has been amazing! Seriously I never realized how much time you lose when you are just watching TV. We usually are movie people and we only watch 3 shows a week religiously, but most of the time we just use the cable for the movie channels and for ordering movies. But it’s been off since like Wednesday and I feel so much closer to my family. It’s not like we watch a lot of TV, Ty usually watches one ½ an hour recorded show a day while I make dinner and then Jake and I watch a movie at night. But having Ty help me with dinner and just talking to Jake at night is way better. So while I’m going to turn it back on tonight because I honestly cannot miss gossip girl (!!!!), I am going to try to keep it off more. It’s a waist of valuable family time.
