Happiness & Horror

Yesterday was my wonderful little sister's birthday :D she turned 17!!! makes me feel even older... my boyfriend and i took her to a local thrift store (instead of driving 40+ miles to go used bookstore shopping, we were also pressed for time) on monday... she got around 5 books and 3 shirts... he too got a couple books and i got 2 childrens books, 3 bedsheets (yay more fabric for sewing!!), a shirt and a cardigan... we found some great stuff for marvelous prices! we also went to the library... one of her absolute favorite places...

then yesterday my mom, older sister and i took her to the mall... she got a great winter wool coat, lots of long sleeves, a couple scarves... and thats all i remember, lol... we also stopped at in-n-out on the way home...

about a month ago i found a journal that was perfect for her... i was finally able to give it to her yesterday :) .. i sometimes have a really hard time keeping surprises, i just get toooo excited! it was awesome because the other present i got her came in the mail on her bday!! it was a little flip book of pictures of family and friends...

i love her a lot...

but on to the horribleness..... i was loading my thrift store finds into the laundry and what did i see when i looked up???


ahhh!!! it was soooo scary!!! it was just my little sister and me home... so we didnt kno what to do... we dont like to kill spiders anymore cuz thats not nice... but we were too terrified to try and catch it... it took us about 30 min to muster the courage to just do it... but we did and we are waiting for someone to come home to release it outside...

today we are planning to help our older sister pack some stuff... waiting for my boyfriend to get here so we can all go help out...
