Today was overall, one of the best days I have had in a while. I attended (and didn't hide in a room away from everyone, unlike yesterday) a surprise birthday part for my Aunt Robin (and my true-to-life fairy-godmother; like I don't think I could survive without this woman and she loves me despite every fault of mine). It was a surprise to everyone, but my Aunt Brenda also proposed to renew their vows (to become legally married in the US) to Sandy. After the party, I spent some time with my aunt and Sandy, and then they came over to see my brother's house. My mom brought her furbabies over to my brother's house (Samson and Bella), and I was really happy to see them. I miss them a lot. It was a happy day.
On a random note. Yesterday at my brother's housewarming party, my grandmother (my dad's mom) gave me her watch. I've always remembered her wearing this watch, and I have been looking at it on my wrist all day. I will treasure it forever. I know it's random, but hey, it makes me happy.
Pleasure: Today I ate 3 cupcakes that my cousin, Monique, the extraordinary patissiere, (sorry it's missing the cool thing over the "a", I didn't know how to do it... LOL), of Gateau Monique (don't judge me unless you've had her cake!). Tomorrow I will post a picture of my brother's girlfriend (and hopefully soon, fiancee; Frankie if you're reading ttrhis, you better get on it, bud!) who enjoyed even more cupcakes than me! (I'll have post a picture when I can. It's hilarious and worth waiting for. I love you, Aimee).
Pray: Today I prayed for peace and understanding, not just for me, but those around me (such as those who cut off parts of their family and friends for decisions they make. Hint: we are all sinners, deserve God's grace, and grace, love, forgiveness and acceptance from those around us in order to be made whole again.)
Love: Today I helped with the party preparation for Aunt Robin's surprise birthday party (which was actually kept a surprise, and in my family that's a big deal!).
My to-do list for tomorrow so I don't forget (don't laugh Momma- I know I have a list for everything):
-Meet with Melanie at 10 am
-Find a closer meeting with an advisor from school than Aug 16th
-Go to the financial aid office
-Possibly go grocery shopping for my brother (it's the least I can do; he even "gave" me a room in his house, a key, and said make yourself at home; you are welcome anytime). Did I mention I love him and his beautiful (and really quiet, especially at night) home? Oh, and Frankie, I promise to "annouce myself"! (Family joke and wayyyy TMI).
-Call MD about medication change
-Schedule appt with my (wonderful) boss
-Stop by/call the pottery place, and any other place that looks remotely interesting
-Get things from my Winchester home
-Edit Fernadna and Jason's wedding photos (seriously. way past due).
I'll let you know how far I got on that list, as it looks rather overwhelming to me... (Maybe I can bribe my mom to buy me Starbucks tomorrow).
