Friday was a crazy day! I only got a few hours of sleep Thursday night, then I babysat for four-year-old twins all day Friday. They're adorable! We played pretend. I got to be the pink Power Ranger, and then they decided my voice sounded like Princess Fiona's, so I got to be her, too. We had a great time fighting the bad guys.
Then I headed over to my friend Liz's good-bye party. She's moving back to Florida, and I'm really going to miss her! She is my favorite friend to giggle with. I think we must be really annoying to the people around us, but that's just what we do. Luckily, Florida is a place I visit regularly, so it's not like I'll never see her again.
Here is a picture of Liz, me, and Hannah on our camping trip a few months ago:
We had such a crazy time that weekend... horseback riding, going to the quilt show, skinny dipping, pitching a tent in the dark, drinking delicious chocolate peanut butter shakes from Sonic... it was great. Oh, and I can't mention the trip without sharing a pic of the Abby Menke Band:
Anyway, I digress. The point is that I will miss my friend Liz!
Party #2 was Saturday afternoon- my cousin Katie's graduation/birthday party! I got to meet lots of her friends, including a boy I think she should be dating. We watched The Untouchables, which I had never seen and really liked. I just can't believe she is 18! I still remember when she was born, and how excited I was to have another girl in the family. Here is a pic of us on Thanksgiving with our grandma:
I went straight to party #3 from the graduation party. It was a pre-wedding party for my friends Charity and Andy, who are getting married this Friday. Charity is a very dear friend of mine. We teach at the same school- I have 6th and she has 5th. Here is a not so great pic of us on Halloween:
We were Carmen and Bridget from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. We spent a long time decorating those jeans so they would look just like the ones in the movie, but you can't see that in the picture.
Finally, I headed to party #4, my brother's hotel party. He had been upset with me for a while for reasons I was unsure of, but we are okay again. I love him dearly, despite our rough patches. We have always been close, and I don't know if other brothers and sisters are lucky enough to be friends like we are. He is going through a hard time right now, but hopefully things will be straightened out within the next year after he graduates.
Well, the whole reason for this post was procrastination, which I think I've done quite effectively. But sadly, I think I'm out of things to write about, which means it's time to start on that boring research paper due tomorrow.
