A Gem

It's a foreign thing to be having my sister come and stay with my husband and I. Hannah's visiting isn't new because I have to be the best big sister I can be. After all, who can resist painting nails and shopping with their favorite 14 year old girl? "You see, it is just weird that there is a man under the same roof" says Hannah. I am still getting used to all of our quirks (you find these out when you get married, even your own. Ex: When I walk, it's heel toe. On the second floor it can be loud sometimes. It's the thundering herd in me)
What have we been up to? My sister is an artist. We made this, tasty, tasty breakfast:

Then, because we are poor, we shopped at Target and mooched off of their ac during the peak heat hours. It's a little trick that the fickle find favorable. Hannah is a gem to put up with us tonight as well. She is so helpful and just enjoys being around us. For example, a generous couple, the Shomas', donated a desk to the "Brittany still has one last semester" fund. Some go to the movies and make-out on Friday nights but we live on the edge! We shred on Fridays. Paper that is. And file. And organize. Hannah enjoyed the entire Season 1 of The Office during this adventure.
The moral of the story: Don't get mad, get glad! (At Target when it's hot)
