"I think wizards just have different taste buds."

Saturday was a day for my journal. Since I don't have a journal at this moment, its going on the blog. Janelle and I decided that since we didn't accomplish one thing on our list of things to do together during the break, we would have to squeeze all of it into one day. The most important thing on the list was to go to IKEA together. I've never been there with her and IKEA is just a place that you are supposed to go to with your sister. Since Jessie is my adopted sister she came too, and we had quite the time. Janelle has these weirdo blisters on her knees that make it so she can't bend them or walk sometimes. I'm skeptical of the walking handicap because today I caught her running into the house. But on saturday, she claimed she couldn't walk so Jessie insisted she have a wheelchair. The wheelchair could easily hold two people which made it incredibly difficult to maneuver around the store. Jessie was so patient, as usual, with her as Janelle refused frame after frame that she would bring to show her. In the end Janelle didn't like any frame in all of IKEA. Figures. Jessie and I caught each other in about 48 eye rolls that day. While we were checking out, I ran to the bathroom and left Jessie with the cart and the crazy in the wheelchair. While I was using the restroom I hear Jessie bust through the door and say "Riana, Janelle needs you!" I told her I would when I was good and ready. When I walked out of the bathroom I see Janelle in the chair with the cart next to her but no Jessie. I figured Jessie finally broke her patience with her. Janelle told me that she was giving her a hard time while she was checking out and Jessie had to raise her voice at her to get her to stop. I guess everyone in line was just staring at the lady yelling to the handicap girl in the chair. Then Jessie had to push Janelle and the cart all the way to the bathroom. Janelle was laughing so hard she was crying. I wish so bad I could have seen it.




The rest of the day consisted of seeing Blindside again. I love that movie so bad. Jessie got a taste of my mom's scary side, again. Jessie got to be our driver all day as we shopped for my moms birthday. To bad the only thing that we ended up buying were the ingredients for butter beer. You know the stuff they drink on Harry Potter?... Well, we made it. We should have guessed how it would taste by the ingredients- butter, sweet and condensed milk, butterscotch topping and cream soda. We tried so hard to drink it and like it. We even had Harry Potter playing in the background. Jessie kept trying to dilute it by adding more milk and soda, the result made her so sick I really thought she was going to throw up. One of my favorite quotes of the night was from Jessie, "Janelle, can I dump this out now, the butter is separating on top." Janelle answered, "Yeah, I think that wizards just have different taste buds." It was a hilarious night. Now we can check off drinking butter from our life list.
I got to see my best friend and her two boys. It looks like we planned our outfits for this picture, I love it.
These two boys are best friends. I love them. My brother is wonderful and Hayden has helped him become wonderful. I used to babysit/live with Hayden when he was young and I used to teach him piano. Needless to say, we go way back. I haven't seen him in years and I'm so happy I got to capture this image of them. It looks like they walked off the set of That 70's Show. I love them.
