  "because she was MEAN as SHIT! " i had the most f-ing cool time today. sara and i bummed around southeast michigan for most of the afternoon and evening. i met her totally delightful family (including her dad, who was on his best behavior) and got to have some drinks at the bowling alley with her grandmother, great aunt, and mom. i was also delighted to learn that her little brother's smile is as fetching in real life as it is in photos. in case you might be wondering, the title of the blog entry comes from a story about sara's granny, who locked her own grandmother (sara's great-great grandmother) in the outhouse at the family farm.
when asked why granny would do such a thing, she issued the above proclamation. granny is one sassy lady. i liked her immediately . another fun thing i did today (much to sara's dismay) was to purchase another piece of orange clothing--a shirt from the gap outlet that is a stunning shade of orange. not even close to the innocuous pumpkin orange that i had the guts to buy a few weeks ago. construction-barrel orange. hoo ha. we didn't end up seeing dave today because he was not receiving visitors for whatever reason. fine. i think it stinks that we haven't been able to hang out AT ALL over break, and i am sad that we will all start school and not have any free time to spend for a while.
especially when the you-know-what hits the fan for board exams. i miss him and i get the distinct feeling that he doesn't want to see either me or sara and it's not just because he's sick. so i don't know. dude, if it's something i/we did, tell me/us, okay? boys. *sigh* wish i didn't like them so much.
