My Life is full of stuff and I think I like it that way.

I'm trying to think about what to write about today. Quick recap of my day: went to Great Harvest, a small child serenaded my family with Ariel's Lament from The Little Mermaid; it was fabulous! Went to Artist's Own, fell in love with a piece by Terry Duncan called Cutting Corners. It's colorful and sparkly and it has circles which are my favorite shape. Got Christmas tree ornaments from Glass Roots for Mom to take with her when she's traveling the first two weeks of December. Funny conversation:
Me: Why don't you get star or snowman ornaments, they're so non-denominational?
Mom: Erin, I'm going to Ireland.
Me: Oh, right...well, nevermind. Let's go with Christmas trees. I wonder if they have any virgins...

Also stocked up on rolling pins which my parents use as wedding presents. My French horn teacher's husband is a genius when it comes to woodwork and his pieces are just gorgeous. I always feel warm and fuzzy inside after we buy something from Artist's Own. I think I like supporting local aritsts and I like pretty stuff. Good reasoning.

Then it was off to Best Buy where they no longer carry what I wanted, but Amazon.com does, so I can still my geeky present for all my geeky friends. Mom and I did get a USB turntable for Dad for Christmas, which will be spectacular! Can't wait! I think I'll have Mom bring it in while I'm in the hospital and I'll mess around with it and start to write an intense instruction book for Dad.

Moving on to Victoria's Secret where I realized my mother and I have generation gap issues. 2 new bras which are spectacularly cute and new underwear because we all know I need that so badly and a free tote bag! Whee!

Then home for about an hour and a half and then off to a Purdue Women's Basketball game! Love women's basketball. Kathleen gave me socks and a hopeful card. It was adorable! Win against Butler.

Need to get Thank You cards.

I've come to realize I'm at a really good point in my life right now. I like where I'm at, I like what I'm doing, and I like whom I'm with. It makes me happy that I'm an honest person and not fake. I know this because I like all of my friends. If you don't like your friends, something's wrong and you aren't being yourself. Always, after conversations with my friends I think about how much I like them. Example: I talked to Haley tonight...I love talking to Haley. She always makes me happy and feel good. Even if my overall mood is shitty and she just lets me be shitty, it's good. And I feel like I get this good feeling from all of my friends because I'm hardly ever pretending with them which makes me supremely happy.

My mom used the word dispondent today. It made me smile on the inside.

I wonder if I get an AT&T Wireless card, that supposedly can find internet access in a hole and a lake, I'll get internet in the hospital. I don't think I can go for 5-7 days without it. It could get ugly. I think I'll go try to find my knitting stuff I have here at home. I hope I didn't throw it out.
