Fuzzy Sheep and Other Updates
Had a nice night last night- got a ton of barbecue junk (hot dogs, chicken, hamburgers, chips, etc…) and brought it over to my brother, Kyle’s apartment. We ate everything in sight- it was yummy. Kyle and Casey did a nice job with the grill- ah, the men are growing up. 
Feeling a bit down today. Casey and I got an email today that his younger sisters want to come up to Canada with us. (We have been planning a trip up to the coast of New Brunswick, where his grandmother has a beautiful country house right on the water… as a relaxing, inexpensive vacation.)
I really like Haley and Riah- they are great. It just was not what I had thought our little trip would be like. I was thinking that Casey and I could be spontaneous and not plan… just do what we want. Hang out with his Nana. If his sisters come up, we will have to be responsible for them. I mean, it is not like they are 5 or anything- they are 16 and 15 and can take care of themselves for the most part but we would have to figure out how to keep everyone occupied, etc.
Anyway- I just can’t really read what Casey wants to do. I know that neither of us really want to let his sisters down- we don’t get to hang out wth them that often since we moved down to Boston from N.H. Case did say that he is never asked to hang out with them and that it sucks to say no. I agree, I really do. They are fun girls but I was looking forward to having some private time with my guy. Sigh. I don’t know what to do.
We also had a disagreement this morning because I can’t seem to get out of bed. I don’t make it up in time to get my train so he keeps driving me into work- which adds time to his already long commute. He feels bad that I don’t listen to him when he tells me to get up. He has a point. I feel bad- this one is my fault. I am just so sleeepy…
On the bright side- I did get some adorable sheep stickers today. I think I am going to try to play with them to make a little icon for my knitting section on this site. Cute, huh?
Casey and also rode our bikes and met Laura for dinner at Seoul Food. I love the owner- she is so cute. We were outside the restaurant trying to attach both of our bikes to a pole with one U lock. (Casey had forgotten the key to his lock…) The two of us must have looked like two monkeys because she came over to help us right way. Dinner, as always, was delicious. We tried a new spicy pork dish that was great and of course had Mochi Ice Cream for dessert. Yum! I love that stuff. Laura is off to California to see her sweetie and to go on a job interview- send some good thoughts her way!! I know she will do great.
Well, I am going to go read my silly book now and try to not be a grumpy-pants. Bon soir!

I don’t know what to tell you about the sister thing… I would be totally annoyed (don’t know if annoyed is the right word, but… yeah) if someone suddenly decided they wanted to come on a trip with me (actually this is happening right now– my sister has decided that my nephews are coming to stay at my place for two days, coming with us to Halifax). It’s true, you’ll be responsible for them– and somewhat responsible for entertaining them, since at their age they’re too young to drive anywhere, not old enough to go to bars, and there’s not a heck of a lot for teenagers to DO in New Brunswick. Hey, yeah, I’m making this sound so much better for you, aren’t I??? Sorry sorry…
The sleep thing– could it be, like, a vitamin/mineral deficiency or health related something? I was anemic for awhile and couldn’t get out of bed. And my dad would be like “get up!” “Ehhhhhh… no.”

I also completely understand -nothing worse than something you have been looking forward to being totally changed! And youre right in that it will definitely affect the holiday that you had in mind. I think you’re justified at feeling a little put out. Having said that, if they do go along, surely Casey owes you a romantic weekend away to make up for it!
I agree with Louise too about the sleep thing. Maybe you’re unhappy about something or youre not eating right. It’s probably something like that that makes you feel so sleepy.

Sorry about your trip, but, one the bright side, at least you like his sisters. I usually like everybody, but my ex-boyfriend (who I am pathetically and desparately trying to get back) has an evil evil evil sister. So count your lucky stars honey. Maybe they’ll spend lots of time just relaxing and being spontaneous too.
Oh, and good luck getting out of bed

Wow, I hear ya about the sleep thing. I am not a morning person and when my boyfriend and I used to live together…poor guy. I would hit the snooze for over an hour!
And all this talk about bikes makes me wish I still had mine

Oh, Jacob calls me every morning after he’s gotten to work and yells “getupgetupgetupgetupgetupgetupgetup…” into the answering machine until I wake up. Seriously. I am so bad about that, so I know how ya feel!
Hard choice about the trip. I always feel like I don’t get enough alone time with Jacob, and we spend lots of time with his fam. So maybe you guys should say no, and make plans to hang out with them when you return?
