When Did I Have To Wake Up Early?

Surprise! I have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to go do laundry, so I'm setting this up to post at around 8:00 AM for me. I most likely woke up at 5:00 AM, gathered stray cloths into a bag to add to the 5 in the car, put on a pants/t-shirt/flip flop combo, and zombie my way to the car.

Feel the sarcasm in your bones.

Dad and I will do laundry for about 2 hours at a laundromat, and return around 8:30 AM, Loki willing. I will proceed to sleep until 11:00 AM, then begrudgingly drag myself to the shower. I'll get dressed pack an overnight bag, and get picked up around 2:00 PM by my friend Kelly and her uncle Dom. Where am I going? Giant turkey leg land, bitches! Jealous?

Stop hurting my feelings. Anyway, I'll be staying the night at Kelly's then waking up on Sunday to enjoy the merriment that is The Bristol Renaissance Faire. More than likely I will return roasted by the sun, but it will be worth it. I'll try to take some not crappy pictures. Wish me luck!

When Did I Start Drinking Coffee?

I tried my first coffee at about 8 years old. It was like weird tasting chocolate milk to me. As I got older I picked up that my dad drank at least 1 cup every day. I don't drink it that often, though I'm close, but it just feels like a little mental break in my day. There are few things in this life that offer me such complete relaxation than a cup of coffee. I'm not talking about the mocha-frappe-double shot-chocolate drizzled-whipped cream-sprinkles diabetes in a cup you can get now. I'm talking about some breakfast light roasted, 2 sugars, and 3 creams perfection when you get to work. I'm telling you, this must be doing wonders for my blood pressure.

So, yesterday after work, my mom, dad, and sister hopped in the car and we went to the mall for a while. Everyone bought what they wanted to wear to the Bristol Renaissance Faire this Sunday. The forecast for Kenosha Wisconsin is party cloudy and the high will be 81 degrees, so obviously we want to go comfortable. I just got a pair of jean shorts, a t-shirt (yes from the men's section if you must know), and a nifty pair of shoes.

These in gray and super cozy.

Tomorrow I expect after work we will be going grocery shopping since the pantry/fridge is a little barren. Having my sister around has been fun, and it's nice having someone close to your age in the house. I even sat down with her last night and she watched a couple videos of cosplayers on Youtube with me. She didn't seem bored at all. Today she is in Downtown Chicago hanging around the Taste of Chicago. Later dad is picking her up and they will go home together. She has a good sense of humor so we mesh.

Do you have half siblings? Do you get along?

When Did My Sister Arrive?

Hey everyone, sorry for not posting yesterday, but I had to clean up after work because my sister arrived after midnight from Mexico. Yes, I have an older sister from Mexico that was from my fathers first marriage. Her name is Aleida. Yes, I realize my name is hers backwards and without the "i". I give my dad a hard time about it to this day.

On most days.

So she will be staying with us until next Saturday, meaning I'm going to be a bit busy after work until then. I already know this Sunday my family will be taking her to the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin. I've been before, and it's loads of fun. Can't wait to have my sister enjoy those insanely large turkey legs.

This is like a T-Rex leg.

Other than that not too sure what she wants to do while she is up here. It's just difficult since my mother and I have to work everyday except Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Either way, we have the evenings after work to do stuff, which is why I think I won't be able to post everyday until the 20th. "But Adela, you don't post reliably anyway." Don't be rude, audience.

I'm hungry for some reason....
