Red

So re-cap on the last couple of days since I haven't blogged in a while. My Halloween went very well. Woke up for church in the morning then went to panera after for some brunch I suppose. I made pumpkins and finally finished one of them on Sunday. It was pretty awesome I must say. After that I went over to Brad's house and ate some yummy angel food cake. Soooo good! I had to dress up for Halloween even though we weren't doing anything so I did. Idk what I was though...pirate? gypsy? Not sure but it was still fun. Me and Brad then went to the mall so I could by my Mom and birthday gift. I got her a new journal to take church notes it =). Then we went to Meijer cause I really wanted to make pumpkins bars and we needed to get stuff for them and before we went home to make them we stopped at family video and rented "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street." The new versions of each. Back to his house we went to make the bars and watch Beauty and the Beast on Blu-ray as that was going on. After the bars were made it was time for dinner and we ate. Then we put in "Friday the 13th" but had to stop it to go back to my house and watch it so Josh could come over.

Josh came over and we started the movie up again. We watched both of them and they weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be but I did jump at parts. We had lots of fun mocking them though =D. Well Brad had to be at work by 7 so he left and Me and Josh were going to watch a second movie but then my Dad called me upstairs and was all like "Did Brad leave?" and I was like "Yea...." and he was like "Then Josh needs to go too" then he leaned into the basement and said "You hear that Josh?" Ohhh I was pissed. So Josh left and I went upstairs and started bickering at my Dad. I told him that he shouldn't be so rude, he was my friend and my Dad was all like you know how I feel about him and I don't like him around, you should respect my feelings and I was like I do respect your feelings but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop hanging out with him and he was like well then you don't respect my feelings. it was bad. Even my Mom who isn't a fan of Josh either, stopped in my room later and asked me if I was alright, she felt bad.

So later my Dad came into my bedroom and sat down on the bed with me. He told me he was sorry about the way he had acted and he shouldn't be so rude. He was so used to being able to control me, puts rules on me to protect me and he's learning that I'm growing up and he can't do that anymore. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. He told me he would like to apologize to Josh, though he still doesn't like him and it is going to take a long time for him to get over that. We talked about some more things too. I was shocked that he was admitting to all of that but it made me feel much better and I'm glad things are starting to get somewhat better in that area.

Monday was a super long day. I worked alllllll day from 10:30-7:30 and right after work my Dad picked me up and we went shopping for my Mom since her birthday was the next day. So we didn't get home until like 8:30-9:00 and I was exhausted by that point. I pretty much went straight to bed, put a movie in and fell asleep to it.

Today I had to get up at 6:00 so I could be ready to leave to vote with my Dad by 7:15 since I had to be at the zoo by 8 and my Dad had to be in Ann Arbor by 11. I didn't want to go alone to vote either so that time I guess worked out the best. It was an interesting experience. A couple ladies high-fived me after they found out it was my first time voting and were like "congrats! Good job! Yayy!" and i was like....haha yea.... I was amazed thought that me and Dad got there at 7:20, voting opened at 7:00 and I was the 62 person to vote there.. crazy! I feel good though cause apparently these are going to be some of the most important elections of all time and I got to take place in them! I could have made a difference! Yayy!!

I totally left at 7:48 and had to make it to the zoo by 8 and I totally did! While I was super low on gas too! I was proud of myself and that had to be record time. The zoo was a normal day. It was super cold though and it's only going to get colder...oh I just can't wait for winters at the zoo. Fun stuff right there! Right after the zoo I went to Math class and took a quiz and then left for home where dinner was being made but wasn't ready till an hour and a half later but it was yummy. It was for my Mom's birthday. She opened her presents and loved all of them of course. And yea that was pretty much it for my day.

Ohh my nickname is apparently Red now. I've had two different people call me red in the last 3 days. Weird. One was like "Hey! How's it going red?" That was with someone I work with at the zoo. And the other was just like "What do you want to do red?" and that was said by a friend who has never called me that before. It was so random. And i'm not even a full redhead! But I guess I could be called worse things so it works for me! =D

I'm super tired now though. I get to sleep in a little bit tomorrow cause I don't have to be anywhere until 1:30. So yea I'm going to head to bed now. Night.
