  This weekend I went to Phoenix Arizona, which, this being summer, was 107 or higher everyday - and amazingly I enjoyed the heat - just sun bathing in the pool area of our 4 star resort, The Legacy Golf Resort outside of Phoenix Arizona. The first day we were there, we had gotten there around 10 (left home at 4:30 am!! ) my Mom called her cousin, Cathy and later at night they came to our resort and took us to dinner. What really sucked about the dinner, is my Mom didn't know they were going to pay and we ordered this dish that was pretty expensive (and nasty) then we were all like "oh shit!
" when it was time to go cuz they caught the bill, then my Mom offered to pay the tip and didn't put enough, realised it later, and was even more put out. The resturaunt was a very western steak place equipped with a Bull, a slide down from the bar to the dining area (piled with little kids) and some awesome bread and salad (bread rocked, BBQ sucked) and they had this cool cinnamon butter junk to go on the indian flat bread and on the biscuits which just made the dinner complete.
During dinner I asked my Mother's cousin what she does for a living and she told me she used to work for Sprint as a lead over several states until she was layed off and now she is a median, she communicates with the dead, she goes into people's previous lives and removes negitive energy, she clears the constructed areas within people's energy meridians, she does accu-pressure and she does transcendual meditation.
She went on to explain how she communicates with spirit guides and "descended master" (fancy name for a Demon...) and it really creeped me out. When she went on to say that she "communicates wth the dead" her voice even changed - it went down an octave. So as much as I dont really want to do the God thing anymore, I still totally believe God exists and Jesus and the whole bible thing, and definatly demons and angels - so it was really wierd. (Back to my beliefs - I just have a lot of conflicting beliefs about doctrine and stupid people within the church) Anyways, after our dinner thingie we went back to the hotel and just chilled and then went to Bed. Saturday for the most part was uneventful. We rented a car, got to take a really fancy car to the rental car place (free of charge) and then we got this piece-of-shit car that the Air Conditioner barely worked and then went to the grocery store and bought some junk along with somewhat good food and then went back to the room, took a nap, chilled, Mom cooked - etc. Then that night we went to the pool, chilled by the pool, got and then we went to the bar and got some Nachos and Pina Coladas (I bet they woulda sold me alcohol if I woulda tried since I look old, but I didn't want to chance getting arrested or my Mom finding out and me getting in big trouble with her - so I didn't try it - just went with virgin Pina Coladas - which are still good) Also on Saturday we went to this mall and saw Stepford Wives and ate some Nathans Hot Dogs.
Also I went to the Virgin Megacenter place and bought a book (wanted to buy a load of CDs too) and then thought I shouldn't have bought the book cuz I'm broke so I had my Mom take it back and play along with me about how I shouldn't have bought the book and she's all disappointed and I'm in big trouble and she was able to get my money back...which was good.
After that we went to a 99 cent store where I found some great books super cheap and got them for a buck each. Then we went back to the resort and did the above explained pool vs. bar thing. The next day we went to my Mom's cousin's house in this rich-snobish part of Phoenix and went in the pool and then she cooked for us and we had a truly awesome lunch.
I sat around her pool and read my book "Watership Down". I could have been playing with her kids, but they're 6 and 10 and totally not my age and that would have been strange, so I just read. At one point they did come join me in the pool and we played some in-water basketball. The 10 year old caught the rebounds for me and the 6 year old was my cherring comitte. After that we had these huge juicy pork chops, brownie w/ ice cream, twice baked potatos, etc and it rocked.
Then after that we drove 30 minutes or so back to our room and this guy Brian Agosto, an awesome guy that I grew up with way back when, came with his wife to visit us and we got to catch up with him and find out how his life is doing now and all that. Most of his conversation was about his older brother and a lot of religious stuff with he and my Mom so I didn't really get to talk to him much, but he is still really awesome. As kids his little brother and I were best friends and used to always be together, but I dont really remember his little brother much because they moved away when I was like...8 or 9.
But we did, all-in-all have tons of fun together way back when, I just forget the details. Anyways- Brian is 21 now, getting formally wed in September with his wife (they had one of the "you're legally married now says the state" kind of weddings and then are having the wedding with all the family and stuff in September. ) I remembered Brian as a really religious dude, super involved in church and stuff when we were kids and now its really awesome to see him way more laid back and stuff.
He even cussed a couple of times, talked about be careful you dont sleep around in Brasil because people have a lot of STDs...etc - so that was awesome to hear/see. They took off around 11, we went to bed and then got up at like 7 to get all packed up and stuff and then take our flight home. At the airport there were these two super ugly dudes that seriously looked like terrorists and had me a little scared at one point but our flight was fine and then we got home and got a ride with Lora and then dropped off my stuff at school, grabbed my school stuff and jumped in the car. I barely got to my Psych class on time, but got there, and then we took a test (dont know how hot I did on it - had to do a bit of quessing on some of the outside-of-the-box answers) and then now here I am. Exciting weekend huh? Out-
