Just had the nicest weekend. Well the nicest Saturday anyways.
(*I actually had pre-written a birthday ode to my brothers but it somehow got lost or I neglected to save it so I’m gonna have to start over)

As I’ve mentioned before, it was both of my brother’s birthdays this month. Lucas’ (left) was on the third and Chris’ (right) on the eleventh.

And so we all go together to celebrate yesterday. I love it when we all get together.

I had gone into town to finish up some shopping and met up with Lucas and we took the train home together. When we got here we got right down to business. We fired up the Playstation and played until Chris and Isabelle got there.

When they got there the party really started. Well it wasn’t so much a party as it was a really fun family gathering. Most of the time the boys were talking computer and I didn’t really understand it..but I’m used to it and used to looking as if I do understand....

The best part about birthday here...the birthday food. I’m still full from yesterday..I think I ate enough to last me the entire week! Anyways my mum made pirogies and kluskies and pork tenderloin..(exnay on the enderloinay for me) and it was all sooo delicious. There aint nothin’ like moma’s cookin’! And then there was desert. The bonus of celebrating two birthdays at once: two cakes. Lucas had requested n angel cake and Chris, naturally had a chocolate cake....both yummy...almost too yummy.

After dinner we gave out our gifts and after that we, well at least me, were all very full, borderline too full and as a result I got very sleepy. But not too sleepy to kick Chris’ but on NASCAR racing.

Then Chris and Isabelle went home and Lucas hung around for a little while more and we watched Monsters Inc.. A very cute movie, I was so tired at that point that I don;t think I could have handled anything that required much thought.

Then Lucas left and I watched a little TV with my mum and we both passed out cold watching Trading Spaces. I woke up like two hours later with the worst kink in my neck and dragged myself off to bed. I was completely exhausted and slept in until like noon today. Well I didn’t;t actually sleep that long, I woke up at about seven to the sounds of nature calling. Then I was woken up by puppy who insisted on taking all the room at the end of my bed leaving me to sleep with my knees under my chin.

I really lucky to have such wonderful brothers. They are just the best. They are so loving and caring and generous. I love that Lucas and I are so close in age, he’s only like a year older than me so we hang out a lot and have the same interest and go to shows together.....Some people think that’s it’s weird that we hang out, because some people are embarrassed or don’t get along with their siblings. I’m lucky I guess. Chris is awesome. I love that he’s a geek. We have some much fun in the computer labs and playing games and going go-karting. He’s taught me so much without even knowing it! I’m so lucky to have them. Brothers rock!

SO all in all it was a great week end, I just got back from having coffee with Sylvie. It was alright until I was mentioning that I was getting my passport done. She was so weird about it. She was all like “why bother, where are YOU going?”. I felt like saying just because I’m not going anywhere with you doesn’t mean I can’t go anywhere. I didn’t even want to mention my plans to go to NY. Didn’t feel like getting into a conversation about why I don’t go see her in Switzerland. But hello! Switzerland and NY aren’t quite the same distance away. And anyways, how come she gets to go away on a holiday for her alone and I can’t? I know I’m not really going alone but I’m going for me. This is what I feel like doing so leave me alone! AHHHHH, I thought things were going good with her but now I don’t know. She’s different. Or maybe I am. Either way..whatever. I’m happy, so that’s what counts right? I’m trying to let go of all these silly fears I have and just live and it makes me happy so there!

I had crazy dreams last night. Mostly about flying this thursday. I dreamt that I was at the airport waiting and was really early but still managed to miss my flight. And it was all complicated and I was nervous and rushing around. I know that isn’t going to happen because I like being early for things like this. I like being REALLY early. I actually looking forward to it, its’ going to be fun. It was silly of me to be scared. I don’t know what it was, I mean I do know why, I guess it’s just taken me this long to get over it. I’m talking like this now, we’ll see how I talking on wednesday night.....
