“House” is the New Word for “Dorm”

Today was exciting.  I didn’t win the lottery, nor did I set a personal record on my treadmill journey (although, yesterday was close!).  I did spend the evening in Lafayette, and it was so nice to feel like I was at home.  I love Parke County, I love my house — but to know that there is another place in the world that is going to feel like home felt really, really good.

Baby Brother and I ran some errands this morning, and during lunch, we decided that on a gorgeous day, it made no sense to go bowling — but we were going to go, anyway.  So, we bought socks and headed to the bowling alley, where we had such a blast. I love that kid!  My combined scores didn’t add up to 100.  Needless to say, I won’t be joining any bowling leagues at Purdue.  Sigh.

After our bowling adventure, I swapped cars with Mom and headed to Lafayette for dinner with a friend.  As I drove into town, I decided to take a quick detour and visit my dorm.  I called Mom to let her know that I was driving by my new home, and instead of saying I was driving by my dorm, I said, “Mom, I’m driving by my house!” Whoops. Then, I decided that it will be my house, really — so “house” is the new word for “dorm.”

Tomorrow looks to be a pretty eventful day.  I have early practice for FFA — State Convention at Purdue is next week!  My Ag Communications team is filming a commercial for our presentation, which should be eventful.  Four crazy girls trying to be serious — oh no!  After practice, I have a scholarship luncheon at the country club that I didn’t know existed. Interesting.  Then, Baby Brother has a baseball game in the evening.  Last night, his team broke their two-year losing streak — hopefully it was a confidence issue and now they’ll be unstoppable!  Speaking of baseball – my RED SOX won over the Yankees tonight. Am I excited? Oh, just a little bit. Anyway, to wrap up tomorrow, I’ve got to put together boxes of cookies for my two favorite Marines in Japan.  My favorite hobby?  Seeing how obnoxious I can make their boxes of goodies. They secretly love it.  I think a pink theme is in order this time!

Have a blessed day!
