Before vs. After

I don't know what's happened to me. I'm sitting here listening to Christmas music BEFORE Thanksgiving.

I don't know what's happened to me. I'm ready to buy our Christmas tree and decorate it and our house BEFORE Thanksgiving.

I don't know what's happened to me. I want to watch my favorite Christmas movie right now--BEFORE Thanksgiving. And then I want to watch a bunch of other Christmas movies.

I don't know what's happened to me. I want to bake all sorts of Christmas goodies BEFORE Thanksgiving.

This is too weird. I truly don't know what's happened to me.

Comfortable and Relaxed

The Four spent this weekend together at my sister Joanna's apartment. One of the things we discussed was how well we get along with each other. For example: our weekend was spent sleeping, talking, reading, watching movies, laying in bed while reading and watching movies, cooking,  shopping, driving around for over an hour trying to find a place to eat, once finding a restaurant waiting forty-five minutes to get in, and all in all enjoying each others company through all of those activities. Though we "did" things throughout the weekend, we never felt pressured to. We just relaxed and enjoyed our time together. I spent the weekend comfortably and came away feeling relaxed and ready to finish the last five weeks of school.

Speaking of finishing school--I registered for student teaching, and I received my Alumni mug. The end is daily closer.
