Cousins!

Yesterday I didn't get a chance to blog because my usual time in the afternoon at work was cut short. Since I worked an extra hour on Tuesday I got to leave an hour early on Wednesday, and I skipped my lunch break so I was out of the office by 2:30. I went to Claytopia (place to paint already made ceremic pieces) and picked up the present I made for Christopher and the teacup/saucer that my friend Amy made for her mom last week. They both came out looking great!

When I got home at 3:00 I had a few minutes to change and then my cousins from Charlton (town near Schanectady), NY arrived. They'll be staying with us until Sunday when they'll go on to visit family elsewhere in PA. Last night we sat around and talked until my mom came home and I took my cousin Evelyn (15) and her friend Jessica to Hollywood Video where I work. I had to return Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and told them to pick out something. They got High School Musical, but unfortunatley it was scratched so badly that I have to take it back tonight to see if GameCrazy can buff it to make it watchable. After the video store we went and picked up pizza for dinner and ended up watching Night at the Museum until it was time for everyone to go off to bed.
Today my mom took a half day at work to spend time with Sue, Evelyn, and Jessica. I think they're going to Panama Rocks (park large boulders you can climb on) if it doesn't rain too much. Unfortunately I have to work until 4, and then I think I'm going to return Chariots of Fire and Breach, get High School Musical buffed, and rent How to Marry a Millionare.

I know that this post has nothing to do with my trip to Ireland, but I haven't had any updates to blog about. I emailed Elizabeth about getting my homestay family's email address, but I think she's been out of the office. The countdown now is 18 days!
