All Things Ordinary

So! I made all those cupcakes and did all that schoolwork and then I made some MORE cupcakes for my sister's 17th birthday party. 17 is old. Especially when you are one of three sisters who are much older than the fourth sister. Sometimes I read that 17 year old blog and it makes me sad. High school is hard, and ugly. But she has good friends. (Like Americorps friends level good? Maybe...) It is weird living here and watching her grow up, since I was in college and Georgia for the past five years. Luckily she is still 5 inches shorter than me. If she grows those five inches by next May 17th I owe her 20 dollars.

On the topic of cupcakery and schoolery being over I have been plunged into an impressively soul-sucking fatigue. I don't wake up early, I sometimes fall asleep mid-day, and I go to bed by 12:30 almost every night. I know this because I rarely make it through the Law and Order SVU episode that comes on at 11:30. Last night the Yankees game that was rain-delayed preempted L&O and I had a quick panic. I don't like admitting that I am a creature of habit, but clearly...I am. I remember last year a few times I said to Nick "I just want to go home and watch Law and Order on a TV near my bed." I like making good on my weirdo desires from last year. But I don't cook enough.

I am looking to start that librarian related service group. Soon. Also I am looking for a summer job, possibly with test prep. This restaurant/bar near me is hiring (I have only been to the bar part) and that is tempting, seeing as they don't require experience and I've never had a tip-related job. But it would be hard to convince them that I know a lot about food I don't eat. I wonder how the statement "listen, I watch a lot of Top Chef" would go over.

I wonder if Jay still watches LOST. I do. And I am super nerdly excited for the finale. I introduced Brian to the show back when he was Salge, which is what friends called/call him and it will be nice to watch the end together. I would probably be upset if the last episode happened last year and I had to watch it on a computer, or with Jay (no offense Jay, if in some crazy way you have found this blog). The fact that the show will be over will be a blow, cushioned only by the Back Pockets performance live at the Raconteur in Metuchen. Billy remember when you said you would buy the french fries and beer? I am guessing that is not an option as you are required to be in Chapel Hill, NC the next day. Laaaaaaaame.

I guess that pretty much sums it up. I am going to do some leisure reading, which I miss doing in tandem with Nick. Happy Birthdays to all and to all a good night.
