(sidenote- I am baffled by the appearance of snow before November. Driving home, we looked out the window and saw white fog. Only, it wasn't fog- it was snow. Insanity!
It is awesome and somewhat confusing to be home. The bathroom sink is lower than at college, the bed is wider, my room is darker, and my desk chair is significantly more comfortable. :D It's a familiar environment, but at the same time, things look different. Part of that comes from the fact that we redid the kitchen (and put new flooring in the entryway and the living room) right before I left, so while I saw all the changes, I didn't really have time to get used to it all. And then my room is different too, because most of my things are at college!! Nevertheless, it's wonderful to be home. *happy sigh*
Today was a very productive day. I got my hair cut (by my sister's amazing hair stylist who understands curly hair!!). Then Mom and I went to the Running Store for some sneakers for me. The Running Store is mind-blowing. In a previous post, I recounted my horrible experience of looking for sneakers near college, and how they had no shoes that fit me. Well, after the lady at the Running Store watched me walk, watched me run, and measured my feet, I had good fitting shoes 15 minutes later! Wow. We then had lunch, and headed to the mall for some cold weather clothes..... thank goodness I found what I needed! It's getting chilly soooo much earlier than normal this year!
So today it was snowing here at home, too. I mean, it's ok for West Virginia to have snow, but not us! It's wayyyy too early. And it didn't even stick! I just looked at the weather website, and we have a "Freeze Warning" in effect until tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow..... It's definitely going to be a very good day. :) After mass in the morning, my brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, and all the kiddos are coming over for brunch. I haven't seen any of them except my brother in 2 months! (Not counting Skype....) And then in the evening I'm going to get together with one of my very good friends who I also haven't seen in 2 months.
I also realized that I didn't post the pictures from the flash mob. Here are a couple:
Evelyn and I wrote up dozens of post-it notes and put them on people's doorknobs in our dorm, telling them about the flash mob the next morning
The guy on the left is Peter, who came in from Chicago to lead the flash mob. We were all gathered in really close together, so the balloons formed a sort of tent. :)
We marched up the stairs in a parking garage on our walk through the city!
I'm hoping to possibly get a video I took up soon.......
Well, I'm off to continue memorizing "La Cigale et la Fourmi" (The Cicada and the Ant) for French. I never realized how hard it is to memorize something in another language!!
Stay warm, everybody!
xoxo,
