Today was quite a lovely day. I started it off right with PB&J toast...mmm. I played with my little brother and watched cartoons with him. This is one thing I really love about having a little brother. I've always been big into morning cartoons, but prior to Kyle's birth every time I sat down to some good quality morning toons my mom would scold me and say, "Stop watching cartoons, get off your butt, and do something productive!" Now when I watch cartoons with Kyle I never get scolded because it appears as though we are bonding with one another and it also keeps Kyle from bugging my mom when she's trying to work. Then my padre, Kyle, and I all took a little trip over to the Discovery World Museum downtown. We have a membership there. I'm very grateful for that, because it's always I nice little break from daily life to go and play around with various pulleys and such. I especially like the Les Paul House of Sound. It's so gorgeous near the lake there. Milwaukee is quite the beautiful city...well most parts at least. Then my good friend from H.S. whom I hadn't seen since the end of May came over to pick me up and we went to Noodles, where I got the glorious Thai curry soup as always. We were able to catch up on absolutely everything and we then felt as if we had been near each other the whole summer. We wanted to do some crazy things that we had been longing to do for quite some time and we wanted to find some random people to hangout with, but it ended up just being us two. We made our own crazy. We also went to the grocery store to smell laundry detergent. This is one of our favorite pastimes. The smell of Laundry detergent is probably the most heavenly smell on the face of the planet. We also watched Friends for quite sometime; what a great show. It was just a great day jam packed with family, good food, and the incomparable joy of the presence of a great friend.
