So for the past month I have been terrified that if I didn't find a job this summer, that I would have absolutely nothing to do. But this week I have been swamped! Yeah not really swamped like I am during the school year....but for not having a job and it being the summer...yeah I've been swamped. Getting things done for the pageant I'm going to be in in less than a month, spending time with friends, and getting things ready for Hoosier Girls State next week has been pretty time-consuming!
Tuesday was also my boyfriend's birthday....so I had been getting his present ready for him....and hoping that he wouldn't guess what I was getting him! It was pretty rough because I wanted to get him Sperry's (a kind of shoe)...but he hadn't ever tried them on or anything, so I didn't know what kind he would like and more importantly, what size to get him. So his sister and I formed a plan, that we would all go shopping in Evansville so that Susan could visit a friend, and he would just naturally want to try them on....then I would sneak away and buy him some....but it was a lot more difficult than that! The sneaking away without being noticed was pretty hard...but eventually I succeeded, and I got him the shoes....and then I just had to hope that I came back with a bag that wasn't mine, and that he didn't notice the switching around of things in bags when we got back to my house. I also wanted to make him his fraternity letters and mine to match...so I had to talk him into going to a craft store so I could get things for my mom, even though they really weren't for my mom...haha. I was really hoping that he wouldn't notice that I was buying three wooden I's to make his Pi, and a K and an A, and then another O, I (together they make a Phi), and an A....and he didn't...so SUCCESS! I would've thought ahead more, but then different things came up, and I realized that that was the only day that I could go shopping for him.
He also got a Wii for his birthday, which I am SOO excited about! I'm not horrible at anything but Baseball...but I'm awesome at these random games on Wii Play....which I don't know where that will get me in life, but I'll take what I can get. I am usually horrible at all video games in general because we never had a Nintendo or PlayStation when I was growing up....we focused on Barbies at my house. But Scott basically made bank with his presents...here he is...being all excited about his birthday...
