Incandescently Happy

I believe I am probably, by now, by definition, a scrub. But I feel I have earned that right to be a total and complete lazy bum. And certainly, today, that is what I was. I did not get dressed. I have spent the majority of my day on my couch in my snuggie and I could not be happier.

I woke up around 2 and came downstairs. My mom had just gotten back from work. We chatted about less-than pleasant subjects, and then watched "You've Got Mail." Definitely my favorite Meg Ryan Tom Hanks flick. So good. Then we ate dinner and bummed around some more, until I somehow ended up watching the 3-hour finale of The Bachelor with my parents. I was originally planning on watching it upstairs but picked up on the fact that my mom would rather bare through three hours of the Bachelor than spend three hours not in the same room as me, so downstairs I went, and we all watched. They were troopers. My father, dare I say, actually got rather into it, and found the commercials to be a good opportunity to discuss the important pillars of love with me, which we have never discussed before. These conversations were followed by less-than subtle questions about my current interest. Oh daddy. It was rather comical. After that, they went off to bed, and I watched It's Complicated, which is hilarious by the way, and got about halfway through Pride and Prejudice when B skyped me. This was all fueled by more chocolate fudge brownie ice cream and chinese leftovers. I don't know what I would have eaten this week had my friends not bought ice cream and left their leftovers at my house on Friday night...

I confess that I have never really watched Pride and Prejudice. I have seen it before, but never really watched it. I have the hardest time understanding English accents, and I also have a hard time having an attention span that lasts more than 2 hours, particularly in movies without much action. Hence, the other times I've watched, I've gotten bored out of my mind or didn't pay close enough attention/could not understand what anyone was saying, and had no idea what was going on. But tonight, I have watched with subtitles, and I am rather fond of it. I feel like this is a large step in my feminism. Seriously though, Elizabeth is just so snarky I love it.

Well perhaps tomorrow I will at least get dressed. Or maybe not. We'll see :)

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with









Well, I couldn't just pick one picture to represent this girl and our "messed up" activities. I had a hard enough time just selecting one canoe picture. But for real. Adelyn MADE my senior year. She joined in on all of my crazy ideas and I joined in on many of hers. And goodness did we know how to have fun and make the best of our last year at LCS. Yes I do happen to be covered in face paint, wearing a du-rag in a public venue. Yes we did decide to sport trash bags and hang out in trash cans. Yeah, sure we played in the kiddy-pool stuff on retreat when it was roughly 50 degrees outside. We may or may not have created a canoe out of a cardboard box and paddled around the hallways singing "Just Around the River Bend" (and won best-dressed for Spirit Week 3 times that week I might add). It was all in a days work for Adelyn and me. And this barely scratches the surface. MAN I need to get some more of this girl in my life soon! Adelyn just has such a joyful spirit and no idea is too far-fetched for her. I hope there are many more "messed up" things to come.
