Why am I up?
It's 9:13 in the morning and I've already been up a half hour. Why am I up? It's ok though. I went to bed early. However, I have no idea where my parents are so that's weird. They're usually doing the "Brady Bunch" thing on Saturday mornings. My dad is reading the paper and my mom is getting ready to do something mom-ish. I am usually out the door by now because of band, but today it feels weird to have slept in...even if it was only till 8:45.
Today is the day that I get to see my entire family on my Mom's side. Sort of a tradition...we go to Great Lakes Crossing and the dad's all go do dad things while the mom's and the kids do their thing. This year, however, my mom and grandma have been elected to baby-sit (thank GOD it wasn't me this time) while my 2 aunts go Christmas shopping. Luckily, somehow I fell out of the equation so I am free to do whatever I want, so long as I am "with" them. Luckily I will have someone my own age. Rachel saved me. Then it's on to my uncle's house for my little cousin's birthday party. I just say bring on the euchre. Rachel and I will kick some ass. No arguments.
I am looking forward to tomorrow. I am looking forward to tonight. Hell, I am even looking forward to next week and weekend. This is turning out to be a pretty good day.
