Worth the Candle

Big news of the night: I just chopped off my bangs. Well, not completely off, but they're pretty short. And yes, my shirt does say "Milk, I am your father." It's Ira's if that explains it.

Today was a good day of throwing around some froyo and rescuing Stewart, Katie's car. I'll admit, I didn't do a very good job of it. I did put the jumper cables on the wrong part of the battery and the consequences could have been a lot worse. I shouldn't have had to been talked through it quite so thoroughly, but I gained the life experience, right?

We also watched Matilda tonight. I definitely forgot how much I enjoy the creations of Roald Dahl. Authors are brilliant people. And speaking of brilliant people, tomorrow begins the Harry Potter love fest. (J.K. Rowling being the brilliant lady.) Katie has the first year extended edition and we are going to bathe in it! It shall be lovely as we've been planning this for a while. It's taken some time finding a free weekend, but alas! (earwax) it has been discovered.

This week is also Katie's birthday. I have a little surprise up my sleeve so I'll keep you updated. On Saturday I get to meet the choir in Big Rapids for State Solo & Ensemble (providing that Ira gets much better!). I am very excited for that. I think summer will feel very close once next weekend clears away. I only have 2 more weekends and 2 1/2 more weeks left of my first year. Everyone is saying it, but this year has just disappeared. The days and weeks go by slowly, but it seems the months and semesters have just vanished. It's actually quite impressive.

For now, I shall leave you with thoughts of Harry Potter and Matilda dancing in your head, much like sugarplums at Christmastime.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
