Chaotic Weekend

The title pretty much says it all. Well, today wasn't too bad, but yesterday was insane. My friend and I decided to go shopping in Oxford because we needed to get an outfit for when we go to the theatre later in the year to see Lee Mead as Joseph. I'm so excited! Only 67 days to go! I've been having a daily countdown every day since we booked the tickets! So anyway. We thought we should get outfits that are like our very own technicolour dreamcoats; I've got a blue long-sleeved T-shirt, a magenta vest, a yellow camisole, a green skirt, red tights, stripy multicoloured knee-high socks, glittery legwarmers and red converse. Also some bright necklaces, loads of makeup and I'm thinking of spraying my hair pink a là Tonks. Yeah, I'll look so cool. But yeah. It's part of the mood! So what if my Mum refuses to come near me for the whole day?! So we went and bought all this and then thought "Hey, lets go and see Knocked Up". So I texted my Mum and told her we were going to see a movie and would head back when it finished.
Knocked Up was fairly good, if predictable. I mean, you see the whole storyline from the adverts. But there are plently of funny moments as well. Possibly the best was where Alison (who was played by that girl from Grey's Anatomy) was having dinner with her sister's family when her niece asked, AT THE DINNER TABLE, where babies come from. She also announced that she had googled "murder" and seen lots of dead people covered in... ketchup. So, it was a good movie, but more than predictable. Haha saying "movie" makes me sound so American.
When the movie was over and we went to look for a bus, we couldn't find one anywhere and my Mum was going ape-shit when we finally found a stop because we didn't get there in time for the bus and she thought we were going to have to wait an hour for the next on, and by that point it was getting dark. I thought that Mum was going to kill me because she hates me being out after dark, but I got off pretty lightly. A load of "Be More Careful" lecture and set to bed as soon as I got in. Not too bad and I needed to get to bed early anyway because I had swimming this morning and I have to get up at six for that. And it was so exhausting. More so than normal in fact, because our normal coach was away, so I ended up joining the county squad session. Let me explain; I'm in club squad and county squad is a level up and much harder work. So I was exhausted. Then I read in the garden for most of the day because we had, as they say in poker, a full house. My Mum's brother and his crazy wife were around as well as Mum's almost boyfriend. Full house. Then we walked the dog and here I am.
