It's been a really long time since my last blog. Possibly this is because my life is either boring, or maybe it's just that I haven't been in any sort of writing mood. Oh, summer.
Babysitting continues to be awful...but that's okay.
I miss school muchly...I even miss homework and seminar reading.
Despite that, I've been having fun hanging out with the girls, and occasional boys, and just wish that our schedules weren't so clashing, so we could get together more. And play mah jongg. Because that's what makes me happy, silly.
I made myself a bag, and that makes me happy. It's not pretty, and the colors are awful, because I just ripped up two old shirts I had, and they happened to be black and bright red...which will clash with just about anything I'm wearing. But that's okay, I love it anyway. Because I designed it myself, so it has pockets for the things I needed pockets for, and it's big enough to carry a fair sized book in...the important things of life.
I've been reading this particularly awesome series of silly historical romances (the good kind, not the trash kind. but still not exactly high class literature. but fun)...and it was great, until I got to the present book. It's about this 33 year old Lord Someone-or-other (who by the way, is cursed with great looks) and his 18 year old ward, who he rescued from the gypsies 10 years ago, and has raised ever since. So far, so good. Problem: They're falling in love. And I've read about 10 of these books, and I know the signs...they are meant to be. So they're going to realize it, and get married, after having some hair-raising adventures, probably with Jacobite traitors. My problem with this: She calls him Papa a few times in the beginning. This is so gross! SO GROSS. Knowing the author, I'm sure she's going to deal with it...but at the moment I really have my doubts. I mean, yuck. I'll keep you posted.
In other news, little!Laura is graduating tonight! CONGRATULATIONS!
