I've said somewhere, or at least implied that I just recently started college...I'm a late bloomer you could say. Anyway, one of my classes this term was a saturday class and this sayurday was my last class. when my sister-in-law came to pick me up she asked how I felt to have finished my first college course - and I question terming the class a college course, but it's required - and I danced a jig and shouted freedom! I have my saturdays back! when I repeated this to my mother later that day she responded with "we'll fill them up fast enough". spoilsport, can't let me dream for a bit.
This weekend was entertaining, yet draining. as soon as we left the school we went home to drop off my books and pick up my mother to go to my cousins first holy communion celebration. my family is like a party in a box, really, it's difficult not to fill a house, if you invite just my dad's siblings, he has 6, 4 of which live in PA within 10-20 minutes of us. and each of those have between 2-4 children.....the insanity! so, we spent several hours there...I forget, my sinus/allergy medicine was wearing off by the time we left. and I had to go home and make a cake, yay!
I may whine about it, but I love makeing cakes, just not with severe sinus/allergy pain. I've made my nieces birhtday cakes since her 2nd birthday, the only reason I didn't make her first one is cause they lived in a different state. so, many month ago once the theme was decided I started planning the cake. It went though many stages, from being decorated with fondant to ....just many interesting concoctions that wouldn't have really worked. if I had a copy of the pictures of the cake I took I'd post them but I forgot to get my fathers portable harddrive today. made that cake, and somehow in the middle of it all I got the job of makeing a cake for the mini baby shower we were having on the side for one of my other sister-in-laws. my mother gave me gruff later because I was "lazy" and just covered that cake in pink icing and printed out a congradulations message on paper and stuck it on the cake. I should have asked her, the woman who got frustrated with glueing bits of photos and paper in a scrapbook that she'd already aranged herself, if she'd have been artsy fartsy with a second cake after little more than 4 hours of sleep for 2 nights in a row.
the party its self was fun, we had a hay ride, and home made ice cream, and games and crafts. we didn't get to play all the games, but that was becuause it was a sunday and most of the kids had school the next day. I pilfered some of the extra party bags, I'm a big kid that way. it'll all end up going back to my niece though, when she comes into my room and happily raids whatever she sees fit to be hers. I'm thankful my dresser is a really old fashioned real wood and the drawers are really heavy and hard to open, since I keep part of my craft supplies in the one drawer. there is no such thing as child proofing, all you can do is make child resistant.
well, that was my weekend in my random scatterbrained bounce around method. now my tush dosen't like this chair, and none of my chat buddies are on to tempt me to stay on for hours rambling, so I'm going to bed.

I didn't acctually finish a semester, the class is I finished is basically a college orientaion, only last's 5 weeks. I don't realllly see the purpose of the class, I lie, I do see the point, but the teacher just rubbed me the wrong way, she wasn't bad, sort of an aura type of thing. I learned some interesting stuff in there.
