   Birthday Shopping
Well, today is the last day at home for me...I suppose with the time and everything, all of this happened yesterday, but whatever. I went out to do some last-minute shopping for college with my Mumsie today, and took my sister and her boyfriend to the movies on the way. Before shopping, I had an eye exam, which went well. My eyes haven't changed at all, so that's a plus...made things cheaper for us and whatnot. Then we went shopping...and spent way too much money. I felt bad, but my Mumsie tried to convince me that it was all right because my birthday is on Friday. She also told me that I should allow myself to be spoiled once in a while, to let people hold open the door for me, to let people pay for things for me...etc. I told her that I would get back to her on that one, but for now...thanks. *laughs* It was a good day though. I packed up my car today as well. We also went down to visit my grandmother at her camp, and I got my birthday gifts from her there. She got me some fun socks and money for college, which is exactly what I want/need.
So, yesterday I went to visit my friend Gretchen after my dentist appointment. She gave me my birthday present then, which was amazing. I got a Sailor Mars wall clock (which I love), a notebook that she wrote meaningful things in, and a schmirnoff. It was a good day at her house as well. We went for a walk, and had a good talk. We talked about our summers for the most part, since we hadn't really gotten a chance to hang out because I was at camp all summer. We got to talking about guys (what talking girls don't?) and how that status changed over the summer. I was telling her about Ted, what he was like and such, and what we were going to be doing during the semester. Whilst talking, I said something that I thoght I would never hear myself say: "I would do just about anything to make it work and to make him happy." I don't think that I have ever said anything relatively close to that before. Gretchen was amazed at it was well. She's happy that I am happy...as am I.
I also had a talk with my Mumsie later that night about how I have changed over the summer. There are both good things and bad things. Her good thing that she noticed: I have become more outgoing since going away to camp. Her negative observation: I have become less patient than I was, which was pretty low to begin with. I completely agree with her on both accounts. I also have one to add: I have become more independent. I spent as much time away from home as possible when camp was in session (during the weekends, that is). Granted, I spent most of that time at Ted's place, but it was more an independence from my Mumsie, which was kind of what I needed. We are super close, but sometimes independence is a good thing, you know? Anywho, Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, is off to finish up her laundry...aluve'
