today.
i got to spend some time with my sister. i woke up at around 11:30. last night i didn't end up getting to bed until around 4:30. i haven't really been able to go to sleep before 2. when i woke up this morning, she was watching cartoons. so, i got some breakfast, and after a show, i decided it would be a good idea to say goodbye to the squeaky voiced and brightly colored oddities. so we conversed for a short while on what we should do. caleigh really enjoys computer games, so we went downstairs to play one. we decided on SPY FOX! i hadn't played in a really long time, so i let her play and i just kind of directed from the background... after the game, she wanted to go on a bike ride...
i haven't gotten on a bike since i got home. but as soon as i got ingrid out of the garage, i don't know. i just, felt right... i was just so happy. we only rode around the block a few times. i guess that's as far as dad lets her go. it seems so silly and ridiculous, but i just felt like everything was okay again...
we got back to the house, cleaned up, and then i fixed her hair. she likes that sort of thing. so i french braided it. then she made up this game where she was trying to get from my dresser to my bed without touching the floor. and she was making up all of these crazy rules to it... it was strange. but she had fun i guess.
then we decided to paint our nails! yay! such girlie fun right? i don't know, i was thinking about this, i'm not really sure what the big fuss is. i used to be so enamored with painting my fingernails. it was very monumental to my self expression back in the day. since i wasn't allowed to wear make up and i was still in that awkward self conscious state of mind so clothes didn't need to reflect me, they just needed to drown me. i took to painting my nails quite regularly. i had so many different colors. greens and blues purples yellows. all different. i would change them like every week...(i remember this one day, the lunch lady had the same color that i did, and it really freaked me out). but when i went to bma, i wasn't allowed to wear it anymore. so i wore the natural colors, and all of the funky one's on my toes. but after a while, i stopped bringing them to school with me, and i don't know. i guess i just sort of grew out of them. i really dislike having nail polish on my fingernails. most of the time i can't even handle clear. i just don't find it attractive or flattering, or anything at all. it just looks ugly. but i painted my toes today, for old times sake. and in order to bond with caleigh. but really, it's such an odd thing to do.
well after that thought provoking incident, we decided to eat some supper, and watch BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! i made some very fabulous grilled cheese sandwiches. usually i'm not very good at making them, but tonight, it just worked. so we sat down and watched this classic movie. it's one of my favorites. i was researching it online because... i have problems concentrating sometimes. so i was looking it up, and i found a copy of the semi-original fairy tale for like 7 dollars. and i think, that when my dad decides to refund me (he can't access his money until sunday or something like that, so he borrowed ALL of my money... uhm.) so when i get my money back, i think i'm going to buy it. such a good story. i almost cried today when we were watching it. sigh. the part with the library, and then with the snowball.... and with the sparkly rain...
and after that, everyone came home. so no more babysitting for me.
today was a good day.
i got a book in the mail... it says who it's from, but i don't know who they are, so i can only assume who sent it to me. i read it to caleigh today. i'm not sure if she enjoyed it quite as much as i did. but i was beaming, i was so happy...
