...Every fire will burn itself out, even without your help

My mom is out of town for a few days. My sister FINALLY made it home this morning. It was great to catch up with her. I miss her greatly when she is gone. I am very lucky to have her. We have the house to ourselves. We are very responsible (no parties for us). We even remembered to feed the dogs and to lock the doors. We went to the movies tonight. We watched My Sister's Keeper. If you only know one thing about this movie, you know that it is a real tearjerker.

Sadly, I never shed a tear. Don’t get me wrong; it was a sad movie. I am just not an emotional person. I had the only dry eye in the theater, whereas, my sister never once had a dry eye. Lauren and I talked about this as we left the theater. I can’t explain it. I must be weird. I don’t show my emotions often. But, I do have them. I promise. It really was a great movie. I recommend it.

I am also not a romantic person, not at all. My mom frequently gets text messages from her boy. They are cheesy, usually along the lines of, blah blah blah, this made me think of you, blah blah, I love and miss you. Personally, I don’t think they are cute in the least bit. I asked Lauren about this, she also enjoys a cheesy text here and there.

I really must not be normal.

I did some dorm room shopping. I got some organizers for my closet and a chair. I didn't need much, but really enjoyed shopping. It will be so much easier to pack this year for school. I left most of my stuff down in Nashville. I also know what I need and what I never used. I am still very excited to start school. There is only a little over a month to go. =]
