Went to Nashville yesterday with my mom and little brother.
Ate a pretty good burger for lunch at a pretty good burger place, Backyard Burger.
Went to a bookstore and bought 3 books - Two for me, one for little bro.
Went to Joanne's and hung around while my big sister and mom picked out stuff for a baby quilt.
Went to Target, looked at video games, walked around with my sister and mom while my sister registered for baby stuff.
Went to PF Chang's for dinner. Had lettuce wraps and beef and broccoli. Excellent.
Went to The Cosmetic Market. Cool store. Mom got almond-flavored stuff and I got some expensive makeup.
Went to a music store. Mom bought a bunch of music including the music book for Wicked. Yay!
Went back to Sis and bro-in-law's apartment. Had ice cream.
Went home.
Josh left his Gameboy at apartment. Turned back and picked it up.
Slept in the car on the way home.
Got home.
Went to bed.

Gaming
Boy, is it hard to blog about stuff when stuff never happens to me.
The most exciting thing I've been doing is playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2. Or KOTOR 2 as I like to call it. It's a pretty fun game. I like having a lightsaber and using the force to decimate the evil of the dark side. However, since I played it last summer already, the story and characters aren't new to me. I like playing on the PC better than the Xbox, though. I never could get adapted to those controllers. Too many buttons and no mouse!
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is a pretty sweet game that I'm also playing right now. I find it completely hilarious that Patrick Stewart does the voice of Emperor Septim and Sean Bean does the voice for Brother Martin. And it is soooo fun to just run around the world in this game, because it looks so freakin' cool!
The sad thing about all these fun computer games is that they will go away when my little brother heads off to college.
The game that I would love to play right now though isn't out in the US yet. Final Fantasy XII. Ooo, I can't wait to get my hands on that somehow. It's been years in the making and anticipation. But it'll be awhile until I can play it. I don't even know when that'll happen. I don't have a PS2 and I'm not sure I could actually afford the game even if I did have one. I guess I'll just have to be patient. Oh well.

Uplift
So, I pretty much have the best job ever. Even when I'm not even working there right now. You know why? Because I work with hilariously funny people who have this amazing ability to turn my frown upside-down! I was feeling crappy today, but after I read all the posts on Blackboard from the people at work, I felt so much better. It really is the little things that can turn whole universes around. Well, at least my universe.

Parent-less
This morning I sent Dad off to the airport. Looks like we're on our own for a couple weeks. We're not totally without supervision, though, because my aunt Diane is gonna call every once in a while to make sure that we're still alive.
I got on pretty well with the boys today. We went to church and made dinner. Those were pretty much the highlights of the day. For dinner we had some leftover grilled chicked, smashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. The smashed potatoes and rolls were particularly delicious. Bryan made us make a whole bunch of potatoes, so we have enough for leftovers later.
Dad seemed kinda worried about us last night and this morning. I kept reassuring him, though, that everything would be fine and we wouldn't destroy too much of the house. He did take me aside and tell me what to do in case something happened to him or Mom. I'm sure nothing will happen, but it was scary talking about it all the same. It's not a pleasant thing to think about your parents dying. I'm not nearly mature enough to completely support myself. Thank goodness I have lots of loving family and friends.
