(no subject)
Grandma left us some beautiful wooden desks and bookcases, so this week I'm cleaning out our loft in order to make room for the new furniture. This entails moving the gigantic stack of old photo albums to mom's room, which of course means that I'm spending most of my day poring over old pictures instead of actually moving stuff downstairs ;)
Today, I found my mom's old high school scrapbooks buried in a drawer, and laughed (okay, more like wheezed) like crazy when I found out how much my mother's daughter I really am. It amazes me how similarly we thought about relationships, grades (both psychopathic), friends; she even wrote down that a guy she once dated was "gorgeous, but somewhat dull," a phrase I know I've used before. Even in college, she wrote how her friends constantly "told [her] she should get drunk with them, but [she] didn't really want to." Hehe. Verrry interesting, especially now that she tells me I need to open up a little and learn how to drink. *sigh* Well, at least I know I'm not exactly like her; I honestly doubt that I'll ever use a similar line on my 18 year old daughter when she's in her first year of college.

Ick...I hope I get better soon; I always get so horribly emo/grouchy when I don't feel well. Today, I teared up while watching the old version of "Annie." I wasn't even really paying attention, as I was packing so much stuff away, but the final song came on and Annie and Mr. Warbucks were tap dancing and singing and hugging each other and I just couldn't help it!
I'm so ashamed. ::hangs head sheepishly::
