My Weekend

I just wanted to provide my readers with a brief update on my weekend, the activities I engaged in and the progress I made with my mom.  I think she finally understanding that I'm a teenager, almost an adult really, and it's time for her to start respecting my space and provide me with some freedom.  One sticky area has been getting me my own bedroom I don't really see the issue, after all we live in a two bedroom apartment so clearly now that I'm nearly a grown man I should take the second bedroom.  It would be one thing if I was a girl but I'm not, I'm a man and its inappropriate to be sleeping in the same room with my mom.  Mom keeps saying that I can't have the extra bedroom because its not in fact an extra bedroom at all but rather Aunt Heather's bedroom.  So finally after a lot of foot stomping and bargaining we reached a compromise.

My very own queen sized bed.  About darn time. 

   Words can't describe how great that felt. Another weekend highlight - mom bought me a delicious bone which I've been throwing and retrieving since friday.  One thing that always frustrates me when I'm given a new delicacy is that the architectural design of our apartment provides no access to the outside to bury it; my options are abysmal. 

"Burying" my bone.

Saturday was equally amazing, mom ran errands which meant I got to go with her and wait in the car swaddled in not one, but two warm blankets.  That night mom and dad and I went over to a friends apartment where I made sure to assert my dominance over their dog by stealing all his toys and hoarding them in the corner.  The only bleak moment of the weekend occurred today when my dad put me in a box and prepared to ship me abroad, I felt so defeated.
