Football fever continues to rage unabated at our school, and
around town too. I’d suggest that we’ll
be in the clear by the end of the weekend, but that’ll just be in time for the
guys to gear up for the college bowl season; followed by the NFL playoffs. It’s a good thing that girls have so much
holiday fun this time of year, or the guys would probably just drive us nuts!
Segue that to the boy that unknowingly drives Rowen crazy,
and it was another one of those days for her.
Hiding out in the music room for our lunchtime practice helped, and
working at the computer store after school kept her busy too; but there was no
escape while we were at the Inn for game night.
The main reason she was annoyed is because quite a few dates for the
school Christmas dance became public knowledge around school; and while it
wasn’t a surprise; Rowen didn’t like hearing about dance night plans for the
guy she likes being discussed by his girlfriend and her friends.
While we’re on the subject, and yes, I’ve already heard
about it from Aunt Leanne; the top dating story for the Grade Seven class was
the news that Michael and Lisa were going to the dance on a first ‘official’
date too. Go ahead and tease me all you
want about Michael or any other guy, Aunt Leanne – sometimes it’s even
entertaining too while being irritating.
I can take it; and won’t be crossing over just to get you to stop
bugging me.
Since Lisa was at game night with Michael tonight, Aunt
Leanne did at least keep the teasing quiet; and didn’t try to find ways to
nudge Michael and me together. After
missing last week for Rowen’s birthday, I was happy to get the chance to spend
some time with our friends and neighbors; and Rowen and I had a pretty good
night playing the games too. If having
Rowen annoyed with a guy helps us to a top five finish, I wonder if catching
him making out would get us to a Junior Championship?
Yes, that’s wrong, but I couldn’t resist. :^)
Our time at the Inn was the
best part of the day for me. The family
business work after school was productive but a bit tedious, and with a busy
weekend ahead; Mom did a long Magi lesson with me after Ethan and Ehlana were
in bed that she followed up with bonus archive homework that’s kept me busy and
up late. I’ve used more than a little
Magi power to get that done, along with the rest of my usual language studies
and bedtime computing; so I’m pretty much ready to just crash now, but at least
I have the work done and can take the weekend off from work and studying. I am so ready for the break – and some
unconscious time, so...
...say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
