Picky Panda

Today was nice. I hung out All day with Marlen. We went to Denny's at 10:30 and then hung out at my house until 11 p.m. We chatted in the living room, we chatted on the stairs, my sister's room, the kitchen. We talked about her brothers, my boyfriend, our families, mutual acquaintances, classmates. We talked more about movies and books, ideas in general. We coined a new phrase after the species that won't screw to save their species - "Picky Panda." We had her try more Chinese cooking, loquat syrup (great for soar throats)and pound cake. Oh yes, we made some smashingly good pound cake, today. Hopefully her brother won't eat it all this time. Just in case, she has the recipe. I do wish I call and hang out more with her often. Somehow there never seems to be time. I'm either too far away or I just don't have time. It was so much easier way back in high school. Must learn to drive eventually so I don't have to beg rides off the parentals...
Something I felt bad about today. Daddy's been in a sad mood lately. I think he realizes he procrastinated too long, so now he has no Honda CRV. May needs the Toyota for school, Mom needs her Toyota for work, and Dad needs his Honda for work. Unfortunately, he only ordered the Honda a couple weeks ago despite May's badgering him all summer. He also knew what he wanted from the get go so it's not like he had a big decision to make. Cell phones also (yes, we're actually getting them). The cells won't get in till Friday, and being that I'm leaving on Thursday at 7 am, I won't be there to get my phone, and thus, daddy's going to have to send it to me via mail. Today daddy went and borrowed my uncle's car. It's a gas guzzling tank, but we need it to get everything from Ikea. May and daddy have to take all that stuff to her new apartment and assemble it. I hope he doesn't hurt his back in the process...
