"'Well yeah but I don't shoot them in the eyes!'"

Phew! Had a long week and weekend. We drove up with Steve's dad to Biwabik (Iron Range, far north MN) and spent the weekend with his family. We had pretty much nothing to do when we weren't visiting his sister Amy and her newbornish twins and her 1-year-old, Aaden. Aaden was THE BEST because he would always start to cry when he first saw Steve, and he would just WAIL for like 5 minutes. He does not enjoy new company. Certain sounds, even if they're not loud, also scare him into crying, which is also funny. Ahahaha. He's very entertaining. The only phrase he says is "What's that?" but he recognizes a lot of things if you ask him to point them out to you. We also visited his crazy grandma on Lake Vermillion for awhile. Right when we got there she swooped in and made Steve and his dad bring a paddle boat back from a neighbor's (it drifted there). That was hilarious. Otherwise it was quite low-key with her. We had a lot of downtime and relaxing time, and it was a very subtle romantic weekend. Lots of quiet jokes between us about his family. We've been having suuuuch cutie time. The kind where other people get annoyed if I gush about it and they also probably puke. Yep.

He has the week off this week and is being very kind and offered to power through this change of schedule with me. Aka moving to being awake from the hours of 10:30pm to about 4pm the next day, and sleeping from 4pm to 10:30pm (or going to bed earlier if we feel like). Tonight was all right, I started feeling tired around 5 or 6am. It helps having another person there, definitely. I wanted to make a good first impression so I chatted with him for awhile (normally I'm awful at small talk and make little effort over an extended period of time) until we made our foods and went our separate ways. I abstained from Facebook for the most part, checking it only once tonight, and FINALLY re-picked up The Stand. I'm around page 250, and I'm reading the uncut/extended version. It's really good so far of course. I missed Stephen King. Which reminds me that I need to re-buy Lisey's Story since I seem to have lost my other copy/left it at Dan's. It's probably my favorite book I think. Top 3 for sure.

I'm too scatterbrained right now to think of anything else to say D: Final thoughts... I've been feeling like a fatty, I'm excited to be earning real money, I'm anxious about mine and Steve's opposing schedules after this week, I bought a cute cardigan for work (since I'm always cold) at Mall of America today for $8 at Ragstock, and I am deeply (annoyingly!) in love.
