"Get your grease off of my wide legs!"

So I was so excited to watch this Bruins game against the Canadiens, and was extremely let down. I don't want to say that they played horribly, but they really just suck at everything.

I even wore my bruins shirt. pah. WhatEVER.

I thought of something tonight. If I had a nickel for every time that Schroeder and I have exchanged "Would you call me an alcoholic if..." scenarios, I would be able to move across the country. Having a limo driving me. With champagne.

I think these scenarios range from "would you call me an alcoholic if I had a beer at 930 this morning?" to "would you call me an alcoholic if I spiked my can of Sprite?" I'm pretty sure that they get more extreme. But like best friends do, we always say the same thing, which is: "Not at all."







I always say mean things about one of my sisters, so I will tell a good story that involves her. The weather is getting warmer and I randomly thought of this memory today. It was the night before Thanksgiving (which is one of my FAVORITE days) and for November, the weather wasn't extremely bad. So Sally, who never stays out late and is always in bed by 9:30 pm, went out with some friends that night and got home around 1:30 am. Of course she comes into my room because I'm obviously still awake. She says, "I really have an urge to sit out on your balcony right now!" Now, I had just showered and it was realllllly nippy out, but we gather out hoodies and blankets and we sit out there until about 2 in the morning. I'm not really sure what we talked about, but it was a nice time, although we ended up giving in because we couldn't feel our goddamn toes. Then we went to sleep, and woke up at 7 on Thanksgiving morning. There is something about sitting on a balcony looking up at the stars in chilly weather that I just love. With good company. And good conversation. And wine, of course. Don't think we forgot that.

This is the same sister that sits REALLY close to people on the couch. We have the entire couch open, and she sits so close to one person who is there. When it is brought up that "Sally, we are sitting really close together..." with an uncomfortable look, she simply replies with "I'm cold."



...She's cold.


We'll start doing more songs of the day. Tonight's is "Rabbit Heart" by Florence + the Machine.

love,
Jenny
