Life as a House

well today turned out ok.
started off with a a friend calling me to go to a fishing durbey with him... he works for the local radio station and they send him places.. either way i didn't hear the phone ring although he called twice because my rents answered it. Point is i didn't call him back and i didn't end up going. My sister said she was coming down for the night when i was on my first of three cups of coffee... she wanted my dad to go pick her up so i went with him. I didn't finish those last two cups. He seemed bothered by me because of my Ben Sherman manbag... which seems to be pissing quite the few off... wtf!?!
we got Jen and then we went the Staples to check out the macbooks... and they didn't have any in stock.. they mentioned how they could order it and i picked the one i liked. Dad is going to go pay for it tomorrow on his way to take my sissy back up. I'll have to pay him back though.. not full price obviously... but I'll meet him somewheres in the middle. If he pays it with a check from the family business, we can claim the tax and save about.. $200-something. Its only going to be $1650 for the white macbook with 120GB.. although i wanted the black one with 160GB for a whooping $200 extra... but i can deal... or sacrifice.
eventually we made it home... a friend of mine wanted me to pick her up some booze... i did. On the way i picked up my key in order to get into work tomorrow... the day i start. I'm still not sure on my hours though.. which is kinda messed but i worked there last year and it should all be good.
Jenn brought two bottles of wine home.. one apple and the other. blueberry. We opened them both and watched 'Life as a House'. The movie made us both cry.. she was drunk.. she cleared the apple wine in which tasted amazing... the blueberry was halfway finished when mom decided to help us out.. it doesn't take her much before her stained blue smile embraced our eyes. We made our way downstairs where we playfully argued with dad and had a true moment of family bonding. I swore there was at least two moments where not one of us weren't laughing. Made me believe that the family hasn't failed... yet.
the day was great.. expected and calm. i promised Lindsay I'd hang with her today but that didn't happen. I'm happy though, with the way things went. I'm excited to start work tomorrow.. i plan on leaving at 12 and arriving at 7 (last years hours). I'm glad my laptop will be here soon and everything seems good.
