I'm serious.  Even our house visitor is in hers-we told her and she had pj's on her like that.  We are all doing lazy things like watching dvds and catching up with Queen Bees and Degrassi on www.the-n.com.  I've finished Girls' Poker Night by Jill A. Davis and started reading Adios To My Old Life by Caridad Ferrer after that it's The Portrait Of A Lady by Henry James.  Yep.  Home is a really cozy place.

Plans

I finally convinced my dad and he said we can pick up that guitar friday, which is great because I think Nicky is as impatient as I am. Tomorrow it's back to the Memphis Zoo because my nieces liked it so much and apres ca a church choir rehearsal.  I know, me?  Singing about stories that seem like fairy tales to me while everyone else in the room believes it and might even feel understood by it?  My youth choir is short a few people.  Which reminds me that a few days ago I put in an application for Living Waters.  I wouldn't mind working there.  And somehow I have the feeling I said I'd call someone.  Too bad I lied. 

School

I cringe when I hear the words back, to and school.  I don't want to go and I'm not ready.  Mentally or physically because

A) I am not prepared to go back to running out of time on long assignments, waking up at five, and seeing my homeroom teacher, Mr. Bargery

B) I don't even feel like school shopping and I can't until my nieces leave.  Honestly, last year they visited right after I'd gone shopping and stole most of my new clothes on the day we dropped them off home.  Their mom didn't care.  Also I just don't want to hunt for good stores.  Maybe I can do this online? 

I've got to go do something to get this off my mind now, that's how much I don't want to go back.

What question do you hate being asked?

The two questions I am asked most frequently, of course:

A) Are you okay?  Because when I'm thinking about something very important or complicated people say I look like something is wrong.  In fact, it seems like if I'm just not smiling people act like I am sick or something.

B) Are you stoned?  Because I'm just odd and some people are suspicious of anyone who doesn't act like a stuck up little stiff.

Well.  Imagine this:

You are in bed, in your jammy's and you mother is on her way out the door.  She asks you to take a big bag out to the car.  You do as told and return to your porch, twist the doorknob and realized it's locked.  Keep in mind you are in your pajamas, face unwashed, teeth unbrushed and not wearing a bra.  Mom just left the driveway and you look at you options:

wait until around 3 when she'll be back.

go ring on your neighbors' doorbells until someone lets you use a phone even though you aren't dressed for that.

attempt breaking in your own house to avoid the second one.

I did the second one.  My neighbors on the right were home but didn't bother coming to the door, the ones across from them really were'nt home and the ones on their right were, but were men (worse).  On the bright side everything worked out because I'm here blogging it hoping you'll chuckle a little, eh?

And you know what else?  When one thing goes wrong in my life a few others always come with it.  Last night when my parents were in MS, the church van broke down.  They all (church members)had to get a ride here.  No other bad thing has happened and that's that.  Everything else will continue just as happy as before.  Usually everything goes bad, but not this time...nope.
