A Black Cat...

...crossed my path as I was heading home from an epic fail date.

I'm packed (and excited) for NOAC.

I'm SO excited to fly in an airplane.  And I really don't care if it's "not all it's cracked up to be."  I'm sick of people telling me that the whole airport/flying experience is a pain.  I think the airport looks like so much fun.  Everyone is either going somewhere really exciting or returning from somewhere really exciting.

Speaking of which, Evan leaves on the 16th for Germany!  He just found out who his host family will be.  I'm sure he's going to have a blast, but I don't know what I'll do without him.  He's always been there.  For my entire life he has been there.  We've always shared a room, and other than little week-long trips here and there neither of us have ever been gone.  But now Evan will be gone.

Other news:
  • Spent the first night in the treehouse with the boys
  • Learned the constellations Hercules, Pegasus, Capricorn, Auquarius, Bootes, and others
  • Visited Mr. Bird (isn't that guy just freaking awesome?).  He has a broken foot and hasn't been able to get out as much as he would like to
  • "Acquired" another road sign.
  • Cleaned more of my room (almost there)
  • Baked a quiche for a 50's style picnic.  played croquet.  tasted Ironport at SOS Drug Store
  • Oh!  Slaughtered 14 chickens!  I was going to post some pictures but then I got lazy..
  • Posted on a sad, neglected blog (which has a lot of followers, oddly enough..)

Midnight Update

  • Attempted to clean my room today (it's a really cool room when it's clean).
  • My best friend Eric left to Europe for two weeks.
  • Talked to one of my friends recently returned from a trip.
  • Found out another one of my friends is back East visiting church history sites.
  • Built more of the tree house (the kids are allowed to play around in it now while we put the rail on it).
  • Bought some N64 games for Elihu's birthday (shh! It's a surprise).
  • Thought "glitter", but unfortunately couldn't act on the thought (sorry Alecia).
  • Need to write some letters (haven't gone to work in a week and a half) *see previous post
And that was my exciting day.  How was yours?
