Hmm. I woke up and fed Alex some lunch (I sleep late), and played with him outside for about 40 minutes before putting him down for a nap. After That Guy (Alex’s dad) left for work, I played some Madden '05 on Xbox before getting pissed off because I’m a bad loser. I like playing against That Guy better than the computer because I can beat him, but he’s a sore loser, too, and doesn’t like playing with me.
About an hour after Alex woke up (we were playing hide and seek), my dad showed up with my brother, Adam, his girlfriend and a friend of ours because I had a bed frame and a mattress he (my brother) wanted. The mattress wasn’t part of the original deal though and I didn’t want to give it up, so he offered to clean my house for me in exchange. Good thing, too, because I hate cleaning but I’m having a Super Bowl party this weekend and planned on cleaning today anyway.
Adam, his girlfriend, and our friend stayed behind so Adam could keep his end of the deal. After my dad left, I called Domino’s and ordered a medium canadian bacon and pineapple, and a medium Philly cheese steak ($24.75, wtf?). While we waited, we watched Dodgeball.
Now Alex is sleeping, I’m here, Adam is playing Madden '05, his girfriend is watching a movie called Christina’s House, the friend left right after the pizza was gone, and my dishes still aren’t done. Oh well, good day anyway.
