Day 79: It's My Sister's Birthday Already in Thailand!

"I joined Walt Disney, went to work, December 2nd 1935, so obviously, I'm not too young!"

-Marc Davis

I feel as if my sister has two birthday's this year because her birthday is the 3rd but it started on the 2nd because of the time difference between Bellingham and Beijing. I am okay with this because I will be talking to her from 2012 in 2011. Wicked awesome!

The hectic schedule that was Friday took a turn for the worse when my computer screen broke unexpectedly (unexnpectectadlly... thanks spell check for your always interesting interpretations) during my musical theatre class. The reasoning behind this madness remains a mystery. So instead of having my three hours of study time BEFORE the four parties I had to attend and study group was taken away from me by the detour down to Lynwood with the mall (which is INCREDIBLE by the way, there is a Disney store and it is fantastic) to replace the screen at the Apple store.

It is here that I would like to thank my mother and father for making me a woman. Story:

Man at the Genius counter says, "Great, so we have you all checked in here and the repairs should be done between one and three days. We will just give you a call when it is all ready for you."

I respond with an upset and hesitant, "Umm..."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Well," I reply, "the thing is that I am coming from Bellingham and it is the weekend before my finals week and I really need my computer back tonight."

"We usually do our repairs after closing..." (insert my sad feminine eyes and gaze) "But let me see what I can do."

Let's just say that the man came back with a response that pleased me and I returned to Bellingham after missing the study group and two parties with computer in hand.

I also want to thank the stylish outfit for the day that helped me pass as a mall worker and appear professional for my performance today that was made up of the dress worn as a skirt with a purple Target tank top tucked in, ModCloth floral cover-up, brown patterned tights that were given to me last year by my friend Leah, Fyre boots, gold Nordstrom bangle, assorted rings and earrings, and what I like to call the "saddle belt" that was donated by Lauren.

The party that I was able to attend was the ugly Christmas sweater party that the choir I am in was having. I don't really consider my sweater "ugly" but I did make it festive with the Santa hat.

This is also my attempt at looking like the Grinch that stole Christmas (part 1). There is many a more holiday parties to come and I am sure I will have multiple tries at perfecting this look.

I would like to make a shout out to my good friend Riley whose birthday party I missed tonight. I wish that my life was not to crazy today because I really wanted to celebrate with you. I owe you a drink lady, Happy Birthday!

Now for laundry and studying because I am a home body and that is what old ladies do on Friday nights. (Oh and knitting... Don't be fooled. I am doing that before I go to bed too.)
