I need a hug.

I was a whiner tonight. My quick run to Wal-Mart with Janeen ended up taking over an hour, with one minor setback after another. Honestly, since when does Wal-Mart decide not to carry anything that I need? I could feel my attitude slipping as the minutes ticked by. Slipping? More like plummeting off a cliff to a sure and sudden death. It was so bad that I got mad at some stupid kid's game that made noises repeatedly. I felt like throwing it on the floor, but I contained myself and merely muttered a threat under my breath. Not like it would have done any good, I guess. I told Janeen I wasn't happy but I was trying my best not to show it. No need to make other people uncomfortable, right? But as soon as we walked out the door, I saw the moon, big and orange, on the horizon and it cheered me up almost instantly. Then I felt bad for being such a mental poopypants in the store, so I put on some song by Pink and sang it on the way home. It was clarifying.

Nicole moved in today. We arranged our room all afternoon. I think it looks really good, and our living room... so cute! I'm a fan of green and pink furniture :) She went shopping with her parents to buy the rest of her school supplies and they bought me Cheez-its and cherry coke. Mmm, my favorites. It's going to be a good year. As long as Wal-Mart decides to cooperate with me, that is.
