weekend recapsule in short sentences

friday night we went to a birthday dinner for bryan's cousin, jennifer. we had the biggest sushi pig out and the restaurant we went to (waaaay out on long island.. merrick-ish) had the most interesting special rolls.
saturday we went to the maul, where bryan forced me to buy some new clothes. i loathe shopping. i've never enjoyed it... how very ungirlish of me! like, how could i NOT just looove to shop? maybe because i always feel so much pressure to buy when i hardly ever find anything i actually like? i found one pair of DKNY jeans that are really dark blue and i bought 4 tee shirts from H&M - all the same style but in 4 different colors. and a red belt. maybe i should start wearing "uniforms". i knew someone who used to do that but he was crazy.
apparently my lack of clothing embarasses bryan. so now he says at least i have some clothes to wear for when i go to shop for even more. sometimes i cry when he tells me these things.
today we woke up late and went to BJ's with matt and christine. it was a zoo! but we got to stock up on cereal, juice, TP and paper towels, and other assorted 5 pound tubs of mayonnaise. for dinner bryan's dad came over with salmon and we cooked it up with rice and several delicious vegetables. pineapple was for dessert.
i talked to my mom earlier and they found another house they like. they tell me it's way better than the other one- bigger, and with wood floors in the foyer and dining room. nice carpeting. i hope this one works out for them. the last house turned out to be a lemon.
my mom thinks i should get into writing more. she's convinced that i'm somehow talented in that area but i often feel like my writing is forced, and i have no particular style. i'm also losing my spelling skills. sometimes i feel like my brains are leaking - me no smart anymore. urg.
i also want to see if i can make some money by taking photos of people and things -- somehow. it must be possible. it can be done. bar mitzvahs? weddings? doggies? people on the street? just random stuffs? i'm going to take a photography class this summer - and a writing class. i must go in the direction of my interests...cube life is not for me.
my little brother is 6'7" and weighs about 180 pounds, if that much. he's a string bean! he's been going to the gym every day after work for an hour and taking Creatine to try and bulk up. so he's a carpenter during the day, lifting things and repairing furniture for 8 plus hours and then after work he sweats in a gym for an extra hour! hopefully he will gain some weight but that Creatine stuff scares me.
