Today

Shanah Tova, everyone! Happy new year! Services were good today, B was the Hagba and I was G'lilah, which was nice and reminiscent of camp. :-) I had to miss class though, and I'll be missing class for Yom Kippur next week, so that kind of sucks. After services I hung around in the dorm for a while, went to CVS, mailed two PostSecrets, and went to dance class. Woot. Productive day.

On Repeat

New Tattoo by Nikki Williams. I've been listening to it nonstop. :-)

Wow

I finished all of my homework at 5:00 today. I have no idea what to do with my free time.

More Birthdays!

Yesterday was SD's birthday (21!! Whoohoo!) and a 3 days ago was my sister's birthday (22! Woohoo!) Happy birthday and well wishes to all. I love you, ladies.

Birthdays!

Today is both R and K's birthday! Yay for two of my fabulous friends and them being a whole two decades old! :-) I love you guys!
We fountained R last night at midnight, and she was prepared for it, bathing suit and all. Earlier this evening we went out to dinner for her and then I spent a little while baking K some mini-cupcakes for her evening shindig. (Super-easy since she gave me all the supplies!) Then it was off to two hours of dance (ow! sore feet!) and then to K's birthday bash. Lots of cupcakes and milk and good people and music. Oh, happy days.
