Mystery Neighbor

It's weird that we have a new upstairs neighbor (I don't remember when she moved in, but I think it's been like a couple of months), and we've still never even seen her! Very strange.

Extended Birthday Celebration

I'm going to Eric's tonight for dinner, and Mom's coming to celebrate my birthday. This was a first: My dad was the first to see me for my birthday; usually he's the last. I think we're ordering Chinese. Fun! I just hope he doesn't order Chicken Curry. Yuck.

sigh

It was soooo nice to see my *special* friend tonight!!!

Birthday poem from Caleb

"While celebrating your birthday Remember to not get too manic Because you just turned forty two The important thing is Don't Panic If Douglas Adams were still here And not buried in some old Bic hole* He'd wish, as I do, you good cheer And such a Happy Birthday Nicole! *people actually do stick pens in his grave so that rhyme is not as tortured or nonsensical as it might first appear" --Caleb

Happy Birthday To Me!!

I woke up early, I've gotten 6 Facebook messages that say happy birthday (yeah, Facebook is lame, but whatever), and my brother, Jill, Noah, and Zoe called and sang Happy Birthday to me, and Jill said know that you are loved by us all. Aww. That's so sweet and made me feel so good.

sad election day

It's scary that Rauner won and Republicans won over Senate. I guess I need to look into more of the political views of Rauner now that he won, but they were sad election day results.

Civic Duty: Complete.

It feels so good to vote. I just don't want the republicans to take over the senate. We'll see what happens.
