More shopping and packing

Today was such a fun family bonding day. Well, i at least bonded with my aunt, my two baby cousins, and my granny. At around 12, i went over to my grandma's house to take them out for some Judy time. They asked what i had in mind and i told them, "shopping!" So they quickly got changed and tried to rally up my other aunts. While they changed, my favorite little cousin came up to me and boasted about starting school this year. He then lead me to his closet full of school clothes, ready to wear. It was so darling. I ended up getting shoes and a lot of random things for my apartment. I'm trying to find cute little furnishings to transform it into a "home." You know you're getting old when you get excited over buying home appliances. I'm currently in a sandwich making phase, so i was really happy when i got a sandwich maker. Yay for toasty things. I'm not sure how long this phase will last. I think i remember going through a yogurt/fruit phase for awhile, breakfast bars, and so many others that i can't even think of them.

While i was out all morning and afternoon, LS stayed home and made lasagna. I think she overdosed on the sugar, but all in all she did a wonderful job. LS's cooking is very unpredictable. When my older sister was home, we were all under a healthy diet. Our cooking drastically changed and a lot of the things made were undoubtedly questionable. My family keeps asking me what i'll eat when i go back to school because they all know my cooking skills are lacking. We'll just wait and see. I'm not a total kitchen nightmare. Where is the faith?

Isn't that box darling? It's a very warm, light brown color. I like to surround myself with calming, vintage-esque things. I don't know why i absolutely adore this box, but i'm so glad i bought it. The detailing is really intricate and i just love the hand-painted flowers.

Tomorrow is another fun-filled day. I resume my packing. I have plans of rummaging my attic and piling my crap into my tiny car. To start the day, i wake bright and early at 6 to take my little brother to school. At least LB is being good and sleeping early.
