Nom, nom, nom, nom...

Well. Let's just say it's been an interesting few days, shall we?

Saturday was the pageant. Most of you were there, so I won't elaborate.
But I think I'm fairly happy with how everything turned out, for reasons I've probably expressed to most of you already.
So the end to that.

Sunday was church, and then Adam came over for the day. We went swimming, watched the Olympics, and ate. It wasn't our normal, he-eats-in-silence eating, though.
First came the gummy bears.

Me: (opens cupboard)
Adam: (points at gummy bears and raises eyebrows)
Me: Sure. Go for it, kid.
Adam: Really?! I LOVE gummy bears!!
Me: Fabulous.
Adam: (eating) Nom, nom, nom, nom...
Kyle: Uh, Adam?
Adam: (Nom, nom, nom...) Yeah, Kiiile?
Kyle: Are you... eating gummy bears?
Adam: (grins) Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!!!
Me: (headdesk)

And then came the pizza.

Me: Here, want a slice?
Adam: Sure!
Both: (eating)
Adam: ...This tastes like Christmas. (gooney smile)
Me: ...What???
Adam: It... it tastes like Christmas!
Me: And what does Christmas taste like, exactly?
Adam: This tastes like Christmas!
Me: I... know?
Adam: Well. That was random. (resumes eating)

....<_>.

And then today, I asked my mother if she had heard Adam "eating" his gummy bears. She smiled, and replied, "Hey, he was makin' noise! No matter how weird it is, if Adam's making noise, I'm happy!"

I know I can do this.

And I'm getting ready to Bible it up. :]

Dinner with the Boys.

It goes something like this:
Mild insult.
Eating.
Major burn.
Stuffing face.
Random chatter.
Food.
Slight argument.
More food.

And then, all of a sudden...

Adam: Well, at least I know the difference between a consanant and syllables!!
Gregory: HEY! That was ONE TIME! And it's SUMMER!
Me: WHAT?! How do you NOT know that?!
Gregory: I dunno. (-eats-)
Adam: Stupid Greg'ry.
Pif: Wait, what happened?
Adam: Well. Greg'ry and I were makin' chi'kn nuggets...
Gregory: YEAH, chicken nuggets!
Adam: ...And he asked me how many consanants were in "Mississippi." And I said eight.
Gregory: Yeah!
Adam: (-under his breath-) M-S-S-S-S-P-P.... Anyway. Then he was like, "Nu uh, it's FOUR!" And then I called him dumb.
Me: ....>_<

Eating Continues.
Gee, I missed them. :]

My Great-Aunt died.

Yup. She did. It was cancer, and it happened in a little over a week. This weekend at the Cottage was weird; she was in the hospital, and my grandparents couldn't make it over from St. Claire because my grandma's sick. It was just my regular aunts and uncles, with less children because two of them were at Rothbury working, but it was quiet and eerie, with a substantial amount of alcohol consumed. It's weird, how much more appreciative you become after you lose someone you weren't even really close to. This weekend, there were a lot more little touches--a hand on a shoulder, a random hug, bumping shoulders. It was like we were all trying to nonverbally communicate the same thing: I'm here, you're here, and I love ya.

Update.

Gee, Nicola, I never knew you cared. :P

Not much has happened lately. Last week, I spent the night at Becky's with Nicola. It was great! We walked a lot, I got freaked out, and there was a ferret. Ooh, and ice cream and Stewey and the bumper sticker app on Facebook! All in all, a good time! :]

Then Friday Saturday Sunday was spent con me novio. Movies, ice cream, and family time, with some swimming thrown in for good measure. He left for Cedar Point today, so Nicole is spending the night. I work today, and I'm working towards a dress! It's beautiful, but my mom said I have to be hush-hush about it.
Unless you're on stage crew. Then just ask. :]

That's about it. I've got some letters to write, and a new blog to start! We'll see how all of that goes.

This year's almost over!

Nicola's gone, Natalia's gone, and Chrie's been gone forEVER. So, really, it's just me left. At the high school. All by myself.
I really can't wait to leave. I like school, it's great, but I'm ready for summer!

...And for zero hour to be over.

I love our MCs.

Happy Birthday, Nicola!

I'm thinking about starting a blog about my trip to Europe. What say you?
