chillin
so, i have tons of 'catch up' reading to do this weekend along with grading stuff. cool beans. oh wow, haven't used that phrase in a LONG time. today was awesome. got paint splattered all over me as i helped paint a house. It was fun. Got to talk to some people i regularly wouldn't talk to and met some new people:) and of course made someone's day by painting;) i think i still have a few paint spots left in my hair. Hopefully they will come out tomorrow when i shower once again. i seriously thought i had gotten everything out but as i combed my hair i found more white. lol. it's all good.
You know what is such an awesome sound? the 'cooing' sound that a baby makes. or better yet, their giggle. I have no clue how my nephew looks right now but yesterday afternoon i called home and they were over over at my mom's. I talked to my mom briefly, and then had a nice long talk with my little brother who was overlooking the baby who was laying in the basinett. he put the cell phone on speaker and let me talk to my nephew who just started making sounds and giggling..oh i wish i could just hold him!
yesterday, i bought my little cousin her birthday present and now i just need to buy a box so i can mail it to her. It was just the cutest thing ever. i feel kind of bad to her sisters but their birthdays are around the corner;) then i went to the half price bookstore originally for myself and well...i ended up buying a whole collection of books for my nephew. it's barely october too. boy, his christmas is gonna be one great christmas;) i am gonna be one of those very spoiling aunts. lol. the kind that almost everytime they visit they bring you a present! lol. that's ok, i can do that. of course most of the time i bring presents of books. if he doesn't like that aspect of me, can blame his Nana for giving me a love for reading. i remember just sitting side by side with my mother first as a young child as she read to me and then as i read on my own in silence for hours as we both soaked in story after story.
