Rowen and I are both having issues today. She temporarily crossed over and back again
two or three times today; and I had Aunt Leanne trying to push me over while we
were at the Inn. I really don’t want to miss out on our Thursday
night out, but skipping game night for a while is looking better and better
every week.
Avoiding boys and boy talk among the girls had Rowen and I
hiding in the music room again during lunch, and we were both glad that it was
a work night after school. The work was
fun for me, since I got to help turn a potential Halloween overstock loss into
a profit after getting two of my companies together to work out a deal. The rest of my work was Christmas-related,
and that still seems weird to me; but it is cool getting to know ahead of time
what my companies think will be the toys, gadgets, and clothes that are hot
this Christmas. Sometimes I put in my
two cents worth when I think they’re wrong, but they’ll never know that advice
is coming from a kid’s perspective.
It was quick dinner night, and Mom had Alicia’s help; so I
worked until dinner was ready; helped with the cleanup; and then we walked over
to the Inn with Aunt Leanne, Uncle Adam, and
Rowen. I’m beginning to think that the
competition for the game night championship is just a side show to the real
action going on in the dining room – at least for too many of the tween and
teen players. Vanessa and Nora were
happily continuing their pursuit of Michael and Tim, but they weren’t the only girls
or boys playing that game. I’m fairly
sure that Jenny’s picked her next boyfriend, and since he wasn’t a game night
regular either; it seems he’s interested in her too. I already mentioned that Aunt Leanne was
attempting a little matchmaking for me, and even though I did my very best to
side-step her efforts; she still managed to put Michael in my path – or me in
his – three times.
I love you, Aunt Leanne, but please stop it – you’re scaring
the kids!
I can wish for the impossible, can’t I?
Moving along, there was no game night glory for our family
this week, and even with the little problems Rowen and I were having; we still
had fun. Dad had work to do after we got
home, so I helped Mom with getting Ethan and Ehlana off to bed, and then I came
up to my room to get started on my nightly computing and some extra
studying. With the party tomorrow night
and a big yard work weekend ahead, I don’t expect to have much time to work in
the archives or on my languages, so I put in an extra hour on both; and it’s
now going on two o’clock. Falling asleep
at Sally’s party wouldn’t be good, so I’d better wrap this up and get some
rest.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
