My aunt left this evening. Back to Florida paradise to return to her kindergarten class that has been missing her I'm sure. We took her to the Long Beach Airport after spending nearly 5 hours at South Coast Plaza, browsing through Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn and Z Gallery. It was a good day, but I was exhausted despite the "Quads-shot Non-fat Mocha" from Starbucks. I think my system is immune to caffeine now. ;) I went straight from school to these shopping adventures. Usually I HATE the Crate & Barrel scene, but I took a different approach this time: I imagined picking out furniture/doo-dads for my apartment in the city. It was a tease for sure, but I can't look more forward to that experience. When I can actually pick things out and pay with my own money. *sigh* On the way home, my head leaned against the car door and make-shift pillow I crafted from my balled up sweater, I looked up at the stars which amused me the whole way. My mom and grandma in the front seats listening to NPR, and me gazing up realizing how freaking small I am. How, under these stars which look like glowing specks, we're the small specks. It's a lot to grasp, so I wasn't able to comprehend it all...that's what life is for I suppose. The toll road was dark, so it was a little easier to see all the stars, and I was awed when an airplane flew what seemed to be right up next to a star. They looked the same size, but they were million miles apart. I love this.
I'm home now, and I have a double batch of chocolate chip cookies baking for my IB Literature class tomorrow. Upon request, I fell to their requests for more cookies. My stomach is growing in front of my eyes!! 0.o So that was today! Oven is beeping. See you soon!
