Wow. I had a wholly good day for once. I woke up happy and all signs point to going to bed contented. I did some chores around the house and that always makes me feel good about myself. I worked on my wands and even got some finished completely. They look awesome! There is nothing better than the feeling of looking at something that you made with your own hands and knowing it is perfect. I started a new book. I went to work and even that didn't ruin my mood. I spoke nicely to my grandfather, and that's a large feat for me considering it annoys me to no end that he asks you to repeat everything since he's half deaf. I'm looking forward to going out with friends tomorrow morning.

Dad was in a good mood when he picked me up from work and we had an awesome time making and eating Mexican dinner. I think it's been good for him to have some peace and quiet. He doesn't get so exasperated all the time like he does when everyone bounces things off him at the same time. It's nice to have time to just hang with my dad. He really is a cool guy and sometimes I don't treat him very fairly or try to be patient enough with him. I'm so lucky to have such a cool father. =) In fact, I'm lucky to have such understanding parents in general. I only hope that some day I can be to my children what they are to me. They've raised me with an open mind and a loving heart. They were patient and encouraged me in anything I chose to do. They helped me become who I am today. I owe everything to them. And they're still here, guiding me when I need it and steeping back and smiling when I want to be independent. I just hope they realize how much I truly do love and appreciate them.

Hmmm... well phone is required by father. Will be back on to ramble later.
Huggles!
