I got to sleep in today. Woo! Of course, "sleeping in" meant that I had to wake up at 8:15, but that definitely beats the 6:30 mornings I've been dealing with for the past week and a half. All the Kem staff went to St. Martin's Community Center for our service project. We sorted toys and donations. Holy mother, there were so many boxes to go through. Mowat and I were the stuffed animal and doll/Barbie queens. We got a lot done in a short amount of time, and the place looked ten times better after we were finished. I kept sneezing though, thanks to all the dust and other airborne particles I'd rather not think about. Blech.

Megan came back today! Woo, suitemates!! We screamed and hugged when she walked in. It was great to see her. Mel said later that she heard screaming from down the hall and got really scared, but then she remembered that I had told her Meg was getting back today, so she figured I was safe. And safe I was! Just overjoyed. I love people.

I got to hang out with Andrew today! YAY!!

I went to my cousin Brian's graduation open house tonight. When the extended Pruett family gathers, it's sure to be a happening time. And by that I mean that most people end the night trashed and unable to function properly. Yeah, I always leave before that stage hits. I love my family dearly, but there is a vast difference in the ways they choose to lead their lives as opposed to my immediate family. It's sad more than anything, but I do what I can. Psalms 2:8. It was great to see my family, even if they were on their way to inebriation. I love my fam.

My aunt Cheryl was there, too, and that made it all worth it. We're each other's favorites. She lives in New York and comes home for either Thanksgiving or Christmas and important events, such as a graduation. She is pretty bald too but dyes her hair and refers to it as "luscious red." She's hilarious. She's also a Ph.D., as is her husband, Fred. I plan on taking a 4 day weekend sometime this semester just to drive out and spend a few days at their house. It's do-able. Who wants to road trip to NY with me?

Speaking of road tripping, Janeen got back today, too! I wore my pretty new CZ ring (courtesy of The Smellion. I wear it with pride), but she did not notice it at all. I was really, really disappointed but decided not to push the matter. Maybe I can save that surprise for another time. Such a trickster. :)

Happy birthday, Mamooshka. You're the best.
