Lego Night

I know it's been a while...

I could catch yall up on every single important event since my last post (I don't even remember when I last posted, and I'm too lazy to check right now). That's not going to happen though. Tonight, I showed my friend Rian my favorite place to hang out. He drove all the way down here so we could play with Legos together, but my sister is sick so I had to go to

my other home (Mill Street) with him. We had hot chocolate and built 4 sets, 2 larger models and 2 matching small star destroyers. I haven't played with Legos in years, and I'm definitely not the best at it, as Rian was quite judgey about my

Lego etiquette and my own style of figuring out things. I built the 2nd star destroyer mostly by myself, without looking at the instructions, and trying only to look at Rian's finished destroyer to know what to do. After about 5 or 6 minutes of agitated grunts and sighs of relief, and 2 or 3 assisted deconstructions from him, I finished mine. Now he has a whole fleet. I'm glad to know there are other huge nerds out there who find joy in simple things like this.

Infinite 'X's and 'O's,

Nerd Night :)

Okay, so I continue the search for a new job. In the mean time, taking my niece to dance class every Wednesday is one of the highlights of my week. I made her a super adorable two-tone pink tutu with sparkles a few weeks ago, and when classes finally resumed today, she was NOT going to class without taking it with her. Now her teacher, a good friend of mine, wants one. :) I'm looking forward to making it, and this time, my niece is going to help. This weekend I'm going out of town to visit a very good friend in San Angelo. In the mean time, I'll be finishing some embroidery projects and doing some scrapbooking! YAY! Classes are slow, mid-term slow, which is almost as dull as finals. I guess I'm lucky, I never stress about these tests. I just pay attention (sort of) in class and read my books, and they're just like every other test I have, only more time consuming and therefore more dreadfully boring. Just one more semester before I take my long awaited 18 month break to serve a mission. Then I get to do what I love 24/7, not worry about dating, or school, or work. Just serving the lord. Cannot. Wait.

TONIGHT: Is nerd night! I just finished watching a cheesy action movie (Bulletproof Monk) that I bought used for $4! I love when that happens! AND I also purchased a game while at the movie/game store, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy for ps2. SOOOO I'm having skating rink arcade flashbacks and playing it for hours until I either get sick from too much mint chocolate chip ice cream or I fall asleep from exhaustion. Kicking monster butt takes a lot out of a girl...

Infinite Xs and Os, yall!
