Two Very Random Thoughts

Is it bad that I'm excited to go back to school simply for the fact that it means I get to go school supply shopping? I'm thinking it probably is...or at least its slightly pathetic! But I really am excited for it, I'm not sure why exactly I find it so entertaining but I just love having new notebooks and brand new pens (though I generally lose half of them in the first week). I remember being little and going school supply shopping, brand new pencil crayons, felts, all the good stuff! I know I'm not the only one who thinks that school supply shopping is fun, I have a few friends who feel the same way!! I'm not the only loser haha! But this year is extra exciting because I've decided its time to invest in a new backpack, mine is getting pretty ratty looking, so hopefully I'll find a backpack that I like. I'm thinking I might get a Dakine backpack because I think they look great plus they look comfy and have a laptop pocket thingy in them, so yea, I'll let you know how that goes, not that anyone really cares about my taste in backpacks I'm assuming. But oh well, I'll torture you with painfully boring backpack conversations again as soon as I have one!

In other news however, Yasmin and I are thinking that maybe since a bunch of the girls that we work with are going back to school we can finally get our Susie Homemaker group going! Let me explain that a little, basically we plan on getting a group of girls together (and it will probably be the girls we work with because we're all pretty good friends) and then we're going to learn skills that the vast majority of us don't seem to posses so that when we have families of our own we'll know what we're doing! So we're going to learn things like how to darn socks, how to crochet, how to sew on a sewing machine and by hand, how to mix the perfect cocktail, how to be a great hostess, just stuff like that. So I'm reallllllly, hoping that we'll be able to get that going because I need those skills, haha best I can do is sing some lullabies and that's pretty much it! But I think it's an awesome idea (and for the record it was Yasmin's idea, and yes she's the one who named it too!) So yes, thats about all I have to say for now.

Cheers!
