My computer died...

Yesterday while I was writing a blog...

And it looks like none of it came clear...

*sigh*

But that's okay, cuz it was rather uninformative...

Anyway...

So I'm twenty-one.

Kinda weird.

I only had one drink on my birthday.

Visited the grandparents instead of hangin with Ellie (who was grumbling about having to see me drunk, apparently, though I only know this through other family).

But I didn't get drunk, anyway, cuz I'm NOT THAT DUMB!!

Whatever...

Grandma and I went shopping the day after.

I got this funky yellow and pink apron...

I should totally take a picture, lol...

And a book in Swedish.

And a book in English based in Sweden.

Confused?

There are so many cool shops in downtown New London that I didn't even know existed.

Like, there's a pottery shop, where you can actually learn how to throw pottery (not against walls, lol) and I picked up a few cool pieces and I'm thinkin of maybe trying to go back and learn some myself.

There's also a quilt shop, which, though I didn't buy anything at this time, I'm thinking as soon as I get my other projects done, I'm totally heading there to buy everything I need to make the most beautiful blanket in the world...or maybe just the most messed up lol...

And there's a knit shop, and I think I mentioned knitting in one of these blogs? Well, I decided to give it a go, and though there was talk of Grandma actually teaching me, she only helped pick out the yarn and the needles --which is a big help, actually. And the lady there gave me a pattern that's so easy a caveman could do it...

Oops, that's Geico's line, isn't it? Lol...

I went to a baby-shower after all that and it was fun, and I finally met my cousin Brier.

(Not that we'd never met, we probably have, just I couldn't remember her and I was probably really young when I did.)

And I got to catch up with a bunch of the other cousins.

I ate really good food...

That reminds me, I have to email Renita for that recipe...

And I sort of maybe kinda planned a trip to the Boundary Waters (or that area somewhere, I think) for the middle of winter...right before I go to Jessie's in January. It's just tentative at this point, but we've been talkin about it for a couple years, and I thought 'Why not?' I mean how fun, right?

Gotta save for that, then...

I almost fell asleep on the way home.

I didn't.

But I almost did.

Instead, I found my way to the Buffalo High School (NOT on the way home) and found my way home from there. But now I don't have to ask Mom anymore where it is...even if we're all transferring to Rogers after middle school so what would it matter anyway?

Hmmm...

I've seen James every night (and part of the early morning, lol) since I got home...

I'm considering just going to sleep early tonight, though.

Not that I don't want to see him, no.

But I'm really tired...

We have major sleep issues between the two of us, lol...

I can't live on four to six hours, not when I work as much as I have been lately...

Oh, did I mention I'm on lunch shift three days a week instead of two? But at least that means I get afternoons off, I guess...

Anyway...

I think I'm done here...

But first...

I promised a picture...

Ain't he cute? :)

Love you all...
