Once in a Blue Moon

Finally, the first week of school is finished. Done. Now forever a memory. Thank goodness.

I dropped off my sister, Nikki, at school and my dad at Starbucks. Then got stuck in traffic and arrived at the school, my spot stolen once again, and I had three minutes until the bell rang. And let me tell you, speed walking and going up 6 flights of stairs is not easy to do in three minutes when you're wearing heels. So it did not happen in three minutes. Instead I was late but thankfully my teacher didn't count me tardy.... I don't think.

Anyway, the rest of the day went by smoothly. Even the end of day traffic. Yes it was long, but not too bad.

Got home, watched Friends and How I Met Your Mother. Which, I know, is a crazy afternoon in itself.

Then my Mom and Dad went out for a date night and Nikki and I ordered pizza. After eating the yummy food, we saw a commercial for cookies and we agreed that "Wow, cookies sound really good right now."

We cleaned up some and were on our way to the Grocery Store. Nikki got the pre-made cookie dough and I got Ben and Jerry's Phish Food and some blister band-aids to ease the pain on my food from the four blisters I collected from the shoes I had worn earlier. It also didn't help that I spilled Pizza Sauce on one. It took me a few minutes to realize that "my toe hurts" and look down to see it covered with horrible red sauce. We decided that this was our "Once in a Blue Moon" Feast.

We got home, watched The Lorax, which might I say was an excellent movie. I was expecting cuteness, which there was plenty of, but I was quite surprised and the plot line and I loved it.

By the end, however, I look over and I see Nikki curled up sleeping on the couch with Ellie, our new puppy who was also sleeping, cuddled together.

I figured it was time for her to go to bed and I helped her up. She stops suddenly, "Wait," she shakes her head, "I thought we were watching The Lorax, why was Friends on?"

"It's over, Friends has been on for a while now," I answer.

"Oh."

Minutes later, my Mom and Dad get back and here we are. Me half awake writing. So forgive me if something is spelled wrong or I've made a grammar mistake or I just don't make sense. I guess we'll find out when I read this again after I've slept.

G'night!
