Babysitting Rosie

What can I say, most days I have spent here I have spent at least some of my time entertaining my brother's dog. Isn't she cute.
But what else have I done you may ask...

Well, The first friday I was here my brother took me to a movie theatre where food is served to everyone during the screening. Little Miss Sunshine was the movie and it was hilarious.
The next day(saturday for those of you a little slow on the uptake) we went shopping and I purchased the new Rise Against CD. Finally. It's good, really good.
That night I met some friends of Mark's, John and Sarah and went to a burger place for dinner. mmmmm.
On Sunday I went with Mark to his Church and somehow got talked into helping set up at 7 in the morning. I'm so selfless. Then that night I ate one of the biggest steaks I've ever seen(two actually) at Barry and Tina's house.
Which brings me to my next point. The Waite's have jetski's, which rule. You can go about 60 miles an hour on them. It is so much fun, almost criminally so. As is watching Premier League in the middle of the day, I just can't get over it.
Last week on wednesday night Kristen, Mark's wife, arrived home from a 2 week work stint in Asia and it was fantastic to see her again. However, I seem to be having an undesirable effect on Mark as he acts rather childish around me, something in which I will have no part. Kristen doesn't exactly approve of Mark's...well lets just call it boyish charm. an example: We were having lunch on Saturday, and Mark and I were trying to blow each others straw papers at one another. A perfectly civil way of lightening the mood. Kristen's response was to turn to me and enquire "How long are you staying?" because apparently she had worked so hard to mould Mark into the fine upstanding adult that he had supposedly become. Needless to say, I don't believe I have had anything to do with his moronic, yet quite amusing, behaviour.
Anyway, yesterday me and my brother(yes mum, ME and MY brother) went to San Antonio and saw the Alamo and went down the river walk, which is pretty much a man made lake in San Antonio which is lined with resaurants, cafes and touristy places. Then on the way back we stopped at some outlet malls where we bought a football and I got some new headphones.
Other than that my time has been spent lazing around, checking out Austin and listening to Rise Against. I've also spent quite a bit of time with Katie, another of Kristen's sisters as she has been at the house this week.
This weekend I am going to Houston to visit Lennie and Callie and maybe see the city a little bit.
Also I may be able to go and see Tool play next week in San Antonio if all pans out. Fingers crossed.

PS. you'd have thought Mark would grow out of hitting fruit out of people's hands but apparently not. Jerk.
