I love my family. My little brother is especially awesome. I wish everyone could see the stand-up comic routine he puts on each night when he comes home and regales us with his adventures from Target. Who knew that working at a cash register could provide so much entertainment?

I feel like I should be taking notes. My brother is really good at picking up on details to tell a story, although he probably doesn't even realize it. He just likes to strut around and make us laugh.

I just got asked out on a date.

(These occasions are so rare, that they sometimes surprise me.) (Don't worry, I said yes.)

Happy times for Stacer.

In other happy news. One of my older brothers just called me to let me know that he and his wife are expecting a baby around September.

This will be my eleventh niece/nephew for those of you keeping score.

Well, it was rather strange, which is why the surprise. I've only had one conversation with him. And he's been revealing TMI in email all day. So... yeah. But! Keep an open mind. Doesn't hurt to make a new friend. Get me out of the house, at least.

TMI?
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Kudos to stacer on the date!  

I'm in a super good mood for lots of reasons. But here are the best ones:
1) I'm back in Boston after a fun, yet oft grueling, road trip from UT with my little bro. Ah, the stories . . .
2) I persuaded a prof to over-enroll me in his Book Production and Design class--the class I REALLY, REALLY wanted. The class my advisor assured me that I shouldn't bother trying to get in because "For various reasons, this isn't a course where overenrollment is likely. But not to worry: as a first-year student, you'll have other chances to take the course because it's offered every year."
Pfft! Forget that. I mean, I don't want to take just one class because that's all I can get into. I want to get my degree before I'm old and gray, after all. Besides, I'm paying $3,008 for a class, so you betta believe that I'm gonna do all I can to get what I want. Sheesh, they really need to add more sections. It's absurd. They keep admitting more people to the program w/o increasing the # of sections offered. >:(
*Ahem...*
3) For Christmas, my friend in CA got me an autographed picture of, get this, Serenity's dashing capt. Malcolm Reynolds at a Firefly con! :D So thoughtful of him to get that. Of course, my friend's a big Firefly fan himself, so the con was more than your average shopping trip. Nothing wrong w/ that, of course.
Anyway, what's really neat is that he had Nathan Fillion write a special inscription:
"Sarah, Keep Flyin'. Keep writing."
*sigh* Now -that's- pretty cool.

<Sorry for the, uh, longish post. Couldn't help myself.>

I'm happy that someone complimented me on the compliment thread that I don't even know (unless it is a friend in disguise). Yay! The_Bot is my new friend!  ;D

My car has started to work again.  All this time I thought it was male, but it must be female because no man would be so unpredictable and fickle.

In order to keep up with the grump thread, I have to say the weather in Colorado has totally rocked so far this winter. I love Colorado because it generally follows my rule on winter weather, being that snow should stay up in the mountains where it belongs. Colorado's weather has been pretty good about this, although Denver did get a little dusking of snow earlier this week but it wasn't enough to be a material breach of the rule.

I am keeping score (of course it means another niece/nephew for me too).
