Right now, I'm sitting in my bed at home, under my quilt that my mom made, and with my room cleaner than it was earlier today. I just got home from the Mardi Gras, where I ended up going bowling with my family and our best family friends/neighbors. So we had this massive 10 person bowling competition, between the kids (who are mostly grown) and the adults. My mom, having been on a bowling team when she was 12, managed to scrounge around the attic and find her 35+ year old bowling ball. It was fun! We hardly ever do things like this, and it was cool to go with another family. Then Brixx for dinner, which was grrreat since i was starving. Only downside of the night was that I think i'm having an esophageal spasm. Something didn't go down all the way, so it hurts to swallow. Hopefully, it'll go down eventually...
Earlier today was a mix of good and bad. I went shopping with rachel and had a great time. I got new hott jeans, even though i wasn't supposed to spend any money, and some really awesome earrings, that i am excited to wear, since rachel is now making me wear earrings because she just loves them so much, she thinks i should too. Had our traditional Chao Cajun for lunch, some ice cream that didn't turn out so great for dessert, and some good ole rachel/amy conversations. It felt really good. Rachel and I are finally back on a good side. Things recently have been...okay. But our friendship changed immensely this semester. Different things happen, priorities change, and we haven't been there for each other nearly as much as we used to be. I think, as a whole, it's been a good step in going our separate ways. But our friendship is too everlasting and important to be gone forever. And I know that there are lots of scary things in the future that are hard to think about, but we're going to make it through, i know we will. Plus, we still gotta a year and a half to go. So...good. Really good. We are back in action.
(oh, and on the bad side, my mother yelled at me a lot today, which i didn't feel was deserved. i felt incredibly powerless, like i was in high school again, and thought we could get through a couple weeks without these things happening, but it was stupid to think that. oh well.)
So. What else have i done?? Goodness gracious. I went to the Nutcracker with the FitzSimons family and Barnes. That was really fun! We all got dressed up, giggled at the cute ones, and made fun of "Coffee" for being reDICK skinny. I had my first big performance with Footnotes at the Carolina Inn. I thought overall it went really well and everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot. I had a lot of fun doing it and am really happy to be part of this team. It's really really great. And I was so happy to have all the supporters that I did. Yay. Then, this past Thursday-Saturday was really exhausting as I spent A LOT of hours working at Great Harvest for the holiday rush. Goodness, thankfully THAT is over. Charlotte came home for Christmas, but I really did not spend as much time with her as I should have. I was just working a ton, and did all of my shopping in one day, and was busy with other stuff other times, and blah blah. I know I really didn't have an excuse, but I think I did get to have some good sisterly time, just wish there was more. I feel really bad about it, and I don't know what my problem was, and I'm sorry :(. But I'll see her again really soon, so cool. So, my Christmas was actually really good! Despite it being really really rushed leading up to it, it was nice. I got a REALLY AWESOME bike! And along with it a helmet, and a massive lock, and lights. So I'll be riding it around town and campus, which will rock. Yay!
And, yeah, I'm going out and having a fun-filled sleepover with rach tomorrow, and i'm very excited about this. And then, Thursday, she's taking me to the airport because I'm leaving for Chicago! AHHH! I'm going to see my boy!!!! I haven't seen him in six freakin months, and he's making me really happy nowadays, and things are really just good. So, yes, I'm overly joyous about this, and pretty much overall I'm a fairly exuberant woman.
It looks to be a superb New Years. Mmmm yess, a definite wonderful thing. |
