Last week I was sick and missed the entire week of school. Go me! The only upside was that Ben was sick too--and my mom worked all week, so I spent it all at his house where him and his mother cared for me. All week! Straight! And I got to take care of him, too.
I'm better now, I just have a bit of a cough and my eyes got messed up from the fever. I swear they're getting better, I don't notice the big flashy spot in my vision anymore unless I close my right eye. But don't tell my mom-- she and my opthermolostupidstupiddoctor want me to have a CT scan. Stephanie+hospitals=mental breakdown. Hello hello, psych ward!
Anyway. On Friday I ditched my (very last day of) work and went to Vermont with Ben and his family. It was a lot of fun.
The first day, Friday, we went to some mall and I bought my prom dress. I think I tortured Ben for a minute or two looking at all of them, even though I knew perfectly well which one I wanted. Then we slowly made our way to beautiful Vermont, with it's snow and iced over trees and general beauty. I met his family, then the adults went out and got drunk. We watched TV and played pool and ate pasta. Then we hung out in his cousin's room and eventually made our way to bed. Ben and I slept on the couch big couch and Shelley on the little one, and we actually made it work. Once Ben found a comfy spot he was out for the night, and neither of them woke up with my periodic coughing.
Everyone was up at six. I woke up because of the movement upstairs and pretended to sleep when anyone came into the basement, then Ben's mom got us up at 9:30. We went to Ben and Jerry's and took the factory tour and ate ice cream, then went back and spent the day skiing. They took me to the very top of the mountain my first run. I only fell twice on that run, but it was scary! It was so windy, I was afraid the wind would push me right off the top.
But it was fun. Then that night we all hung out and Ben and I decided to sleep on the floor. It worked out better than the couch, we had much more space. We slept until Nick set Jasper on us, who licked our faces until we got ourselves up.
Then we watched TV and had Easter dinner, then made the five hour drive back home. Ben and I spent most of the ride lip synching to various songs on my iPod and argueing about what kind of pets I can get when I'm older. No donkeys, mini horses, camels, elephants or cows, but I can have a mammoth and a kangaroo. And also, two huskies and a Yorkie named Gizmo. |
