family and co.
I'm ecstatic to go home. I can't wait. I don't leave until September 24th for my Dad's birthday, but nonetheless....I CAN'T WAIT! I want to see my family so badly. I miss my sisters. Every day my Mom and Mary update me with the wedding planning. She already knows who's going to play at the wedding (our high school music teacher, Mr. Schweitzer), and she has the reception hall booked (Casa Loma ballroom--the dance floor is huge, so yeah, I'm psyched). I just wish I could be there. I don't think I'd actually help, Mary's much more particular and girly than I am, but I'd like to be there to laugh with her. She told me that she's looking at brown dresses for the bridesmaids? Yeah, I know. She said they're a chocolate brown though, so I'm sure they'll look okay. I trust Mary. (I told her I'd just wear a blouse).
I talked to Mary's new fiance, (that sounds so weird to call him that)Brian, online the other day. It was awkward talking to him. He knows how I feel about the whole situation. How selfish he was being with Mary. How Mary needed to give him an ultimatum, or she'd break everything off and be with Tony. I almost wish she did. I just hope everything works out for them. He kept reiterating how much he loved her. "I love your sister alot." "I hope so," I replied. It's like he has to convince me that he won't break her heart. I'm really protective of Mary because she's particularly naive. Not that I'm not, but she (like many people in my family) have trouble standing up for ourselves. We put other peoples' happiness on the forefront, and forget about our own. I'm happy for her; I just hope she made the right decision.
Jane sounds so old. My younger sister is only sixteen, but each day I talk to her I'm constantly reminded how immature I am. She is so together. I'm sure she's helping Mary and Mom out too. Oh, Jane. You future business woman. I hope she's read that book Mom bought her: "See Jane Win." Oh, Jane. There's so much expected out of her.
My Dad is doing well, as far as Mom says. He's helping restore power in Louisiana. I'm really proud of him for volunteering, but it's scary for him to be gone. I'm not even home, but I worry about him being over there. He never goes out of town with his work, so two weeks is a lot to take in, especially for my Mom. She sounds incredibly sane though, to my surprise. With Grandma just recovering, Dad being gone, working, and helping Mary plan the wedding (July 15th is the date, by the way)Mom has kept her cool. It'll be nice when Dad comes home.
As for me...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...no, nothing that dramatic. I don't want to talk about myself right now. I feel like I'm in a rut though, and I need something dramatic to happen to re-inspire me. Oh Gods, look upon me, and STRIKE!
