Friday night as I was driving home from work my cell rang, which in itself is quite surprising since hardly anyone calls my cell. So, I answered and it was no other than my wonderful, charming, and delightful little sister. No, I'm not sucking up either... I really mean that.
We talked for a few mins when I asked "Where are you?" (She's usually on her way somewhere when she calls me...Baskin Robbins, the mall, Walmart... You get the picture) Imagine my surprise when she said "Home". So I thought ok, she's at her dorm. "No, at home...in my room. I came home for the weekend".... So we talked for what an hour? She told me that Aaron and Chris invited the family over for dinner Sat. night....
Okay, here's the thing about that...... I VOLUNTEERED to work Sat.... Ashley, my dear sweet sister (being sarcastic now) decided to tell NO ONE but Aaron and Chris that she was coming home this weekend....
Now, skip to Sat. around noon.... Ashley and I decided to go out for lunch, and we were on our way when my cell phone rings.... It was Aaron, who by the way NEVER calls me, it's always Chris that calls.... He invited me over for dinner HIMSELF.... I told him that I had to work, and he told me to "get out of it" and that I "NEED to be there." Then he hung up and called Ashley asking if she thought he convinced me...
So, I was caught in a dilemma...... Go to work like a "loyal" employee or forget work and spend time with Ashley and the rest of the family...... I normally leave for work at 2:12, and there it was 2:10 and I was still trying to decide.... Finally I said "Ashley would you like to take a small walk with me?" We sat out in my jeep, and I called in and told them I couldn't make it in..... Yes, I, Angela Dawn M., played hooky from work.....
After I hung up, my wonderful (not being sarcastic here) sister and I went to the mall.. Which was fun.... Okay, waiting for Ashley to try on a million things at Old Navy, (well maybe it was more like 10)wasn't too fun, but spending time with her was.... Afterwards we went over to Aaron and Chris's.....
We got there the same time mom and dad showed up.... We went in and Chris said "We have surprises for you..... Her dining room looked like it was ready for a kid's Birthday party.... Each seat had a balloon tied to it, and each setting had birthday plates, cups, and party favors.... Also at each place was a gift.... Aaron and Chris bought gifts for the whole family. They said that since they can never remember anyone's birthday they decided to have a big party for everyone.... There was a birthday cake and ice cream..... I've never seen so many names on a cake in my life..... Everyone's name was on it.... It was great...
After mom and dad left, Chris cut mine and Ashley's hair and waxed our eyebrows.... The waxing wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be, and I LOVE my haircut....
Let's just say I don't regret not going to work.

Okay...okay....C'mon post a picture of your eyebrows and your hair. Just dying to see them!
You'll have to get Ashley to do that. I didn't have my camera, but she had her camera phone.
Well Ash, you're the one we're waiting on! :-)
