BBC America has decided to play both Dress to Kill and Glorious, which is awesome background noise as I do various householdy things tonight. I spent last week working in fifth grade, who are great and awesome and way more fun (and less snarky) than I was fearing, so that was awesome. The downside of actual work is that I am frequently so exhausted that I forget to post, and then spend most of my weekend sleeping. Mmm, sleep.
Younger Sister took the dog and the cat down to our parents house, because she doesn't have to be up here (one of the perks of working from home for our dad) and so I have the house all to myself until I drive down to SoCal on Friday. Hopefully it will be nice, because I can have some me time and do silly things like sing while I wash the dishes and watch crappy tv that my sister would mock.
I can't believe it's so close to the holidays (and why are we not doing the "LJ Gift List" of random things that people can give us? It was always kind of cute). I am woefully behind on my Christmas shopping (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rhymester, are you guys doing the holiday at your family's house? Should I just send your gift there?) and, as always, am stalled about what to give my older brother. It's tough when you have siblings that you don't spend much time with. Dang.
Still, in less than a week I will be at my parents house, where they will make dinner (I am so crap at that part of being a grownup, and have eaten cereal and/or Eggo waffles too often lately) and other important decisions and then we will have Christmas will 6 of the 7 Family (though technically with the newest baby, we are now 9, how cuuute) and then we will have 2nd Christmas with extended California family (and probably more Wii playing, for great hilarity) and my birthday (oh God) and then back here.
To conclude, I'd forgotten that in fifth grade you learn hard stuff. Right now, it's decimals and fractions and percents (and turning the one into the other and the other) and reviewing parts of speech in grammar. Because it turns out that 'ringed' isn't quite proper grammar. And neither is "Sara picked up Sara's book". XD
