It's Thursday, and it's still cloudy. I love rain, but I don't like this in between cloudiness. Yucky. Well, Tuesday I got to see some STROSE-ers! Carolyn, Katie Z, Jessie and Shelby, and Drew of course, came over around 4 and we got to catch up and then we had dinner together here at my house and then we made cupcakes, and then all the Newtowners came over around 8 and we all hung out together. We played some spoons and some mafia (classic Newtown game). Then we went out and played frisbee for a little while, but it was getting late, and my mom didn't want us to keep everyone up so we went inside and sat in the basement. Probably a little boring for everyone, but that's NEWTOWN! Everyone left around 11 and then Jessie, Carolyn and Katie did pilates--Shelby and I watched. HAHA. Then we pretty much just fell asleep. I was exhausted, and I think everyone else was too.
Yesterday we woke up, ate some breakfast, watched some Tick, and then went to the General Store for the full Newtown experience. Drew and Matt met us there. Yummy sandwiches and great company! After that, I had play rehearsal and Shelby had to jet, so the other girlies went to hang out with Drew and Matt had "people to do, things to see," as he says. Play rehearsal went really well. I'm beginning to learn most of my lines, and today I'm going to go over all my blocking so I know what I'm doing and I don't get in the way of everyone else. After play rehearsal I went out with Robin. We went to WALMART and bought her dad a Father's Day gift and card, and a My Little Pony (for her of course). I was able to pick up some tanktops that I desperately needed, so that was good too. Then we went to McDonalds. The food was so gross! I haven't eaten fast food in so long, and it was just really really bad. I don't think I want to eat there again. Yucky. We topped off our night with a trip to the Ice Cream Shop--that made me happy! Then I brought her home and that was that!
I got home and who was there but Grandma! Now, my mom is trying to get my Grandma to move up here to Newtown to live in this assisted living apartment type place, so she brought her up here yesterday to check it out and see how she reacted. Well, she insisted she did not want to live there, so Mom brought her here. She's going to stay with us until tomorrow and then I think she's going to stay with my uncle and aunt in Danbury. After that, I guess we'll just play it by ear. It's a tough situation and to tell you the truth, I don't know if I can handle having her here all summer. She's a lot of work and someone has to be with her almost all the time or she gets confused and nervous. I hope she'll either move up here or let Mom get her someone to help her so she can live at home like she wants to. We'll see with time, I guess.
That's the jist for now. Nothing too exciting going on for today. Tomorrow I'm going to VT with the fam and the Hayes and Brennans. It should be a nice relaxing weekend. I hope the sun decides to come out.
