My some what boring weekend



This weekend we had four days off, not the best four day weekend for me. The first day which was Thursday the sixth, I had done nothing but eat candy and watch movies. The movie I saw is "A Christmas wedding", I watched it with my teddy bear named Teddy. Friday the seventh I cleaned and stayed in my room the whole day texting my boyfriend, the bae. Saturday I went to the MVC with my two brothers and mom to go get Javier's permit(my bro bro). It took fours long hours. but lucky I had a crossword puzzle to occupy me. Sunday, I cleaned and hung out with Eddy(the bae). We washed his dog, ate some pizza and played some Call of Duty:Black Ops 2. We played zombies, he stole my kills and I wanted to rage on him and throw him out the window......even if we were on the first floor. I got him back when we played free for all, I kill won with the most kills, last kill, and I killed him 7 times.
