Oh for the love of roommates.

So today was the first day of classes and i woke up early- my stupid body has been doing that to me since the 2nd. It's because of a lot of reasons, but anyways, not the point. I couldn't go back to sleep and i was coming up with every possible excuse to stay in my warm bed. It was that perfect temperature, warm enough to keep me there wrapped in its understanding arms.


Charlee and i have class at the same time so we got up to get ready and met the boys-Mike and Greg- to walk to school. It was an adventure, and i couldn't feel my legs once we hit 800. So.cold.

 The day was a whirlwind of new classes, new faces, seeing people i hadn't seen for almost a month, and getting back into the swing of things. I went to work and had a tech problem that took more than an hour- but hey, now me and one of the Tech guys are bff's. Found a new work buddy and talked to Counselors all day!

It was a tiring day but I got a ride home with one of my co-workers so that made life significantly better. I opened the door and bellowed "HONEYYYY I'M HOMEEEE" and looked around the corner to see Katy sitting on the couch. When i looked at her she broke out into this huge grin of complete and utter happiness, it was like a kid on Christmas! We started talking as i made dinner about life and everything in between. Charlee came back from Cam's and we all gathered around the kitchen table and swapped stories about our first day of school as we ate Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars. We discussed last night-so so so much more to come later. keep reading- and quoted Pitch Perfect so many times our sides hurt. We laughed over our days, Charlee had to scrape half a ton of ice off her car and I accidentally messed up a guys name in one of my stories which made them laugh even harder. Katy is getting into her Biology classes and stoked for Ornithology. I just listened and smiled and i realized how blessed I am to be living with these girls. We've been through a lot together and I know that no matter what they have my back.

Our new roommates, Sarah and Monica, joined us and I seriously haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Life is so good.


Here is the story that i promised earlier. When any of us have ever brought over a boy, regardless of our intentions with them...we kind of try to awkward each other out. It's an unspoken rule. When Katy brought over her new boyfriend at the beginning of the semester Charls and I planned their John Deer Wedding, we found everything John Deer and posted it to her facebook wall. When Charlee...well...we make it awkward. Understatement of the year. Charlee basically gets the shortest end of all the sticks, because he's over all the time. SO last night i brought over a boy to dinner, because he had never met any of my roommates. I was a little apprehensive because well, Katy and Dickens are Katy and Dickens. There were heaps of underhanded punches that he didn't understand, overhanded ones that he did, and...well the cream of the crop.

Katy: "So...when are you going to start dating?"
P: "Well..i don't know i mean.."
Katy:"That was my not so subtle hint that you should date Emily."

I have never been so speechless in my life. All of a sudden that rice that i was scrapping out of the bowl got real interesting. Katy ran away that little skunk. Katy basically won that night...when we talked about it later she said "I can't even believe that i said it...i tried SO hard to keep a straight face. When i actually said it i had to book it or end up dying."

She got a glare for that later. Charlee stared him down during dinner until he looked at her and when he did she refused to break eye contact. I spent most of the dinner stirring around my chicken mortified. At least Mike made a good impression. Mike kept mumbling and I turned to him and yelled "SAY IT TO MY FACE!" and he turned to me and shouted "MARGEBARRGLLLEE" <-gibberish. Tea almost came out my nose.

There are so many other stories from that night, it was such perfection. I'll probably never see him again, but at least i have a standard to shoot for next time they bring over a boy. Revenge will be so sweet.

Right now we are talking about licking chargers, Charlee is cuddled in a purple blanket to my right, Katy is backwards on the couch to my left cackling and well. these girls :) Couldn't ask for better roommates. Mi familia.
