Nap's not working, so.

I have the most adorable niece in the world.  It's true.  When I see a baby, I never really think they're that cute.  But my niece is adorable.  And I wanted you guys to know that.  I mean, come on.  Look at her.




It makes me really want to have kids someday.  In a more prepared good job done with school and not unexpected kind of way.

Speaking of that, Britt's due in about a month.  I'm not really sure how I feel.  There's a bit of excitement, but when I sit down in a quiet room and think about it without distractions, I almost lose it.  That's my baby sister, having her own baby.  Weren't we just riding our bikes to the park together a couple days ago, with Ashley trailing slightly behind on her big wheel?  Oh.. wait.  That was twelve years ago.

I remember Britt saying the only thing she was really sad about was how it was going to take her a really long time now to find a guy that would want to get serious with her.  And that's probably true, and I feel awful about that.  She's a great person despite her mistakes, and she deserves to find a nice guy and be happy.  I guess I shouldn't really say mistakes.. everyone has pretty much accepted it now, and we've all got our excited faces on.  I wonder if I'm the only one who stops and thinks about how weird this feels. Mike married and a father, Britt almost a mother, Ash gone at college.  My dad even got a new job a few days ago, for the first time in over twenty years, which is awesome.

But this house feels so dead with no one in it.  I'd rather listen to my siblings argue over who gets to sit in the front seat or who gets to use the blue cup at dinner than this endless silence.  I've always loved this house.  I've always wondered how I'd ever leave, because I've been here my entire life.  Maybe it'll be easier to leave, now that most everyone else has split off.    I'm doing a pretty good job of saving my money lately, so maybe I can go somewhere soon, too.

Right about here is where I'd post stupid corny lovey things about Mike.  Not my brother.  But you've heard them all already, so I'll just go with they still apply.  I'm very lucky. You're all jealous.

As an ending thought, David Garett.  Violin guy.  Yeah, I didn't know who he was either, until yesterday.  Check him out.  Or don't, whatever.  But I'm a huge sucker for violins.  And this guy's a really good time, I swear.

Do I put a video in every post I make?  Yes?  Okay. I'm gonna go try to get a short nap in.
