Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust: Birthdays, Batman, and...Hurricane Sandy

So, today is the 28th day of the month of October. Meaning, it's my 21st birthday. Meaning...absolutely nothing has changed. I mean really. I think I said it best on the phone, my judgement is impaired enough as a 21 year old, I don't need to impair it worse by drinking alcohol.

Because everyone is wondering, here's the big secret. I did absolutely...nothing for my birthday. Well, so far. I got a card from my grandmother, who is wonderful. It is the most beautiful card ever, but she always sends the most beautiful cards, but on top of that it fits my personality perfectly. :) Then of course, there was the obligatory "liking" of every happy birthday posted on my facebook. Woohoo. Can you say party? Of course, my mother is such an instigator. Which is kinda funny. I really don't mind not doing much of anything. Yeah, I would like to do something fun with my friends and my family, but I understand that we all have lives and are all really busy. Its not that big of a deal, on top of that, my birthday is right before Halloween, so on the weekend I would throw a party or something, EVERYONE else is throwing Halloween parties...so its really not worth the fight to me. I kinda gave up a long time ago on that fight. I need to remember to write a letter to Nanny (my grandmother) to thank her for the card. In any case, I went to church and played the piano for the primary program which is always interesting, and I conducted the music...which I was asked to do again. Okay, story time I guess...
*** Last Sunday, I was sitting at church with my family and they go through all of the announcements and say what the opening song is going to be. The intro music to the song starts playing and I look up and notice that ALL 3 members of the bishopric are STARING at me. All of a sudden I'm freaking out wondering what I did, and then one of them waves his hand like a conductor. Then it hits me full in the face, so I rush up to the stage to conduct the opening hymn wondering where I'm supposed to stand and where a darn hymnal is. It was rather comical, but I got a little more notice this week which was nice. *** End of story time.

So continuing on with my run down of my birthday, as I said, I went to church, and then I came home and watched the 6 hour version of Pride & Prejudice from BBC (the one with Colin Firth) which in my humble opinion is the only one worth watching. Then I ate chili for dinner and brownies and ice cream for dessert. Then I took a shower and cleaned the bath tubs and filled them with water. Sitting on the edge of the bathtub watching it fill up was where I sat as I began writing. Then I prayed and prayed and prayed that school would be cancelled for tomorrow...which is now today....and now today there is an announcement that school and clinicals are cancelled for tomorrow too. Which is kinda good and kinda bad. I don't mind, but its gonna be interesting the recovery from this "Frankenstorm" (hurricane Sandy).

But on another topic. I went to a Halloween dance Saturday since Halloween is this week. I dressed as Batgirl. And I looked pretty awesome. Don't you think?
