WHEN BRANDON CAME OVER!!!

Squeeeeee!!!! That’s my being totally psyched because Brandon came over my house this weekend!

I told my mom to hang with Brianna outside so she wouldn’t drive us bonkers.

I had this horrible dream on Friday that she totally RUINED Brandon’s visit. In my dream, he knocked on the door, and then she answered it and dragged him up to her room.

Since I didn’t hear him knocking, I kept acting like he wasn’t there yet.

I didn’t have any clean underwear, so I ran to the laundry room to see if maybe my mom washed some, but she didn’t. So I started screaming, “Mom!!!! I don’t have any clean underwear!!”

Then Brianna skipped in holding hands with Brandon, and said, “Nikki, Brandon’s here! He’s SO nice! He doesn’t care if you’re wearing dirty underwear!!”

I woke up covered in sweat. Thank GOD that was just a dream!! I’d be SO embarrassed if that happened in real life!

Unlike in my dream, Brandon rang the doorbell when he got there, and Brianna was outside in the kiddie pool.

Before I opened the door, I sprayed myself with my mom’s perfume. But I accidentally put WAY too much on.

I don’t usually wear perfume, so I thought it was like hairspray…and sometimes I need A LOT of hairspray!

When I opened the door and let Brandon in, he started to cough a little. Then he said, “Did you just get some flowers?”

I didn’t want him to know I practically took a shower in my mom’s floral-scented perfume because I wanted to impress him, so I said, “Um, yeah. And I tripped and fell on them. I’m such a klutz!”

That was kind of awkward!

Before he came, I brought all the stuff I want him to photograph down into the living room because my mom had said, “Keep Brandon downstairs. It’s a MESS upstairs. It looks like a TORNADO went through it!”

But he was like, “Want to give me a tour?”

It’s pretty hard to give someone a tour when you can’t show them half of your house, but I did my best!

First I brought him into the kitchen, and said, “So this is our kitchen.”

Then he said, “I figured. The oven and fridge gave it away!”

He’s so funny!

After that I brought him back to the living room and said, “The upstairs is pretty much like this, but higher up, without the appliances. Want to get started?”

I thought that was a pretty good cover!

He started taking pictures of my stuff while I pretty much just stood there and tried to make small talk.

About 10 minutes in I had to go to the bathroom. I was only in there for like a minute, but that minute was WAY too long!

When I came back out, I saw Brianna dripping wet, drawing on Brandon’s hand!

I asked her in a SUPER nice way to stay outside, but I should have known she couldn’t resist!

I was like, “Hey there sis…what are you doing?” I sounded pretty calm, but I was FUMING inside!

Then she went, “I’m drawing a friend for Miss Penelope. His name’s Mr. Pendle.”

And then Brandon said, “Because he was born from a pen.”

It sounds crazy and annoying when Brianna says it, but it sounded so cute when Brandon did!

After that Brianna kind of surprised me. She said, “I’ll leave you two alone!” Then she giggled and ran back outside.

I was actually kind of glad she came in for a bit. She may be kind of nutty sometimes, but I love that little nut ball, and it’s kind of nice to see Brandon being so sweet to her.

After that, Brandon finished taking the pictures, and then said he had to go to the animal shelter.

And get this…he asked me if I wanted to come! I already had plans with Chloe and Zoey so I had to say no. (I’d never ditch them to hang out with a boy…even if it’s an awesome boy like Brandon!)

He said, “Maybe next weekend then.”

He SO wants to see me a lot over the summer! Looks like I was worried for nothing. 🙂
