Bon voyage, Uncle Mark, Aunt Grace, and
Caleb!
They’re in the Seattle area now, and for
the next week; so I hope they’re enjoying the visit with Uncle Mark’s family
while also getting to introduce Caleb to the Everett side of his family for the
first time. I’d say that I wish I was
going too, but I’m actually good with hanging out around here this weekend for
my birthday – especially when some of us do have a major trip to look forward
to in March instead! Uncle Mark and Aunt
Grace will be staying home for that so that he can cover the clinic while Uncle
Adam and Aunt Leanne are with us that week.
Compared to a trip to the west coast, I don’t
have anything exciting to report from home.
We had a fairly nice day as the temperature climbed into the low fifties
again and the snow resumed another melt-off; but it was also a quiet day too
because Michael, Rowen, and Tim all worked after school today so that they can
have tomorrow off to have a birthday weekend play day and sleepover with
me. Yes, my birthday is Sunday; but
doing a sleepover Sunday night wouldn’t be as much fun when we’d need to be in
bed early on a school night. The
teachers didn’t take it easy on us because of my big day this weekend; but then
that wasn’t a big deal for me and I had those assignments wrapped up quickly
with just a bit of work after dinner – getting it done practically in no time;
if you know what I mean! ;^)
Since my best friends were busy anyway, I
had some after-school play time with Ethan and Ehlana; we had an easy dinner
night; and then I spent the evening hanging out in the lounge with the twins
too after doing my homework while Mom and Dad worked in the office. They were both doing that so they’ll be able
to spend more time with us for the rest of the weekend; and we’re supposed to
have awesome weather for both days with temperatures hitting into the sixties
and mostly sunny skies. We only have a
hang around home play weekend and the sleepover planned; but that’s exactly
what I wanted to do for my birthday – without any major party or trip to the
city this year.
Hanging out with Michael tonight would have
been fun, but I’m good with him having tomorrow off instead; and getting the
extra sleep again tonight is probably a good plan too – since we will
definitely be up late tomorrow night!
Having that to look forward to is a very
good reason to wrap this up and head off to dreamland now – even though it is
Friday night and that’s not supposed to be normal for teens. Then again, it’s not as if that would be any
more of a hit to my reputation than falling asleep early would be if I conked
out early tomorrow night. I definitely
don’t want to do that again, so that’s it for now; and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
