Awkward, Rocks, Sandwich

Things I have done since my last post... Let's see.

Wednesday night my sister and I went to Innsbrook to see The Used. My ex right before I got married, who now hates my guts, by the way, was standing less than a couple of feet behind us the entire show. That is what I call awkward. I am pretty sure he made a couple of snide comments my way, but whatev. Afterwards, Kelly and I get into an argument since she is not willing to compromise and go to more than one bar afterward. Being 21 is like a curse. Most 21-year-olds run around getting wasted, partially ruining their lives (depending on how far they take the getting wasted) and ignoring the fact that the rest of the world has feelings and lives still.

Thursday Trevor and I drove to Williamsburg so I could drop payment and other things off at my lawyer's office. Then, we drove a bit further to Newport News to see Plaga... I took a nap there. That was kind of rude, I think, but Plaga is really Trevor's friend so I didn't really feel bad. Plus, it was like, 85 degrees in his house (and at least that hot, or maybe actually COOLER) outside. Who keeps their house that hot?? Then, we came home... Trevor didn't watch Top Chef the night before so we watched that, then of course, Scrubs and The Office. The Office strikes again with another HILARIOUS episode. I thought it was going to be the beginning of the end for Pam and Jim (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) but I think I was wrong. Despite their horribly unlucky and bad day, Jim and Pam remain their totally cool selves and don't even start arguing with each other. Why is my life NOT like a sitcom at all?? Cruelly funny but always works out in the end?

That brings me to today. I finally convince Trevor to go to "the rocks". In Richmond, this means Belle Isle... the James River. However, the entire river is peppered with giant rocks perfect for sunning, picnicking, pretty much anything. Trevor and I and Lily get there around 9 something this morning. I convinced Trevor to do something outdoors and... HE LOVED IT. It's a pretty long walk from the parking lot to Belle Isle (it's a little island/park so you have to walk across this HUUUUUGE suspended bridge)... Anyway, got some awesome pictures of Lily and the pretty side of Richmond that most people don't get to see or have no idea about. Trevor is working on the final Harry Potter book so he stood in the water and read that. Lily napped, my mom showed up for a while, and then we went to lunch at Kitchen 64. Dang, that place was AWESOME. Kind of like diner/southern food, but dressed up with more "exotic" ingredients (not really, just more exotic than a BLT). It was SOOOO good. Since my skin burns outside in about twenty minutes and we spent about 3 hours outside, I realize at the restaurant I have a nice sunburn going. I don't mind too much... my skin is so fair that I have been burning worse than this since I was a little girl, and maybe this year I can get a tan. I heard tans make you look more slim. I could use some of that. I saw a picture Trevor took of me holding Lily today and it was VERY upsetting. I thought I was LOSING weight, but I swear from this picture, you would think I'm pregnant again. It was disgusting. Talk about the OPPOSITE of a morale booster.

Anyway, we get home, and my mom hangs out for a little bit.... then she leaves, Trevor heads to work, and Lily pretends to take a nap. After a while, I just get her up.... we eat some dinner, do the bath thing and then go hang out on my bed for a while. The next thing I know, I am waking up to Trevor coming home... it's after 11! Lily fell asleep right next to me. I love that so much. Waking up snuggling with my baby :)

I submitted all three of my entries to the LOL art contest. I only have faith in one. The other two are okay, but really, I just wanted to make sure I had three entries. I was severely uninspired. It's sad, too, because I think I'm pretty damn funny and witty in every day life, but I can't just produce it on command!

I think I am ready to go back to sleep... but I felt the world needed to catch up on my week.
