back with my girls tomorrow
Well I've been home for a couple of days which has made the blogging more difficult. It's funny, I actually miss the ol' residence. It is good to be home though, besides the fact that my mom has been telling me that I look like hell, and that my dad is being incredibly insensitive. Oh well. Otherwise it's all good.
Saturday I started my day off with some yoga with Matt. Which was all good. But my shoulders were really sore. After we went for coffee where I gave him an exciting present to motivate his movie. Yay me! It included a copy of Dr. Seuss' Oh the Places You'll Go, three small tubs of peanut butter, a copy of Avenue Q, and two chocolate vaginas. He was happy, I was happy... it was all good. We then went to Indigo to buy some books for my brother's thriteenth birthday present. It was fun. I embarassed the Indigo workers by asking them where the boys puberty books were. I ended up getting him one called "It's Perfectly Normal" which, surprisingly enough, was the least cheesy title they had. And I got him one geared to an adult audience called "Dick: A User's Guide". We then went to Toys R Us where Matt bought me a little faery doll, which made me happy. And to Dominion where we shopped. And laughed all goofy-like.
Saturday night Phantom took me out for dinner and a movie. We got tons of Thai food, and then went to see "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind". It was excellent! Phantom had seen it already, but I was really glad he wanted to see it with me again. I don't think I could have handled it without him! Phantom stayed over with me Saturday night and then left all drowsy on Sunday morning.
Sunday was my brother's birthday. I gave him his teen survival pack that included the books, pop tarts, pizza pops, hair gel, gum, chapstick, and chocolate. He really liked it. I gave him the books away from my parents and before his friends came over. His reaction was awesome though! He said it was wierd, and giggled a lot, and said it was gross, but he agreed with me that it was better that I gave him books like that, than if my parents gave him books like that, or than if he went to buy them himself. I expected him to take them up to his room and hide them or something, but instead he's been telling every single person who comes into the house that I bought him these books. And sometimes even taking them out to show people! I figure that's a pretty good sign if he's comfortable enough to do that. So it all went well!
Sunday night I just took it easy and worked on my bedroom. I'm getting a bunch of clothes and books together that I don't need anymore to donate somewhere. I'm almost done, but there's a lot of little things I still need to organize. That's been my main focus though. Yesterday Phantom came over again and we just hung out and listened to music all day and then had a Passover dinner.
Tonight I'm going to my aunt and uncle's house for a seder, and I'm not really looking forward to it. There's a lot of tension around Passover for my family this year since my Zaida died on the first night last year. We'll see how it goes.
Anyway, I'll be back in Guelph by tomorrow for all sorts of examing and blogging!
