Family Night




Yesterday--Saturday the 10th-- Was a nice little day. Brie started her day off with a tennis lesson with Father Dearest at 8am, while mother and I slept until 10. Mom actually came into my bedroom to wake me up--I had stayed up 'till 1 am to finish LuLu Dark Can See Through Walls. It was a delicious brain-candy sort of book. Anywho, then us girls drove down to Manchester for Brie's basketball game, which her team dominated by, like 30 or 40 points, I think. Brie had a really good save/assist type thing where she grabbed the ball before it went out, passed it in to Dez (a girl on her team), who then made a layup. Hurrah! Brie also had a shot, which she didn't make, but that's okay. She does all the passes to the girls who score the shots--a real team player. After the game, we went to our fav breakfast nook-- Up For Breakfast. It was absolutely delicious. Mom and I shared the Cajun Fritata (which is basically an open-faced omelet that had veggies and cheese and andouille sausage). Brie had a gigantic scone which was toasted on the grill and served with butter and this absolutely divine jam. She had a side of sausage with it. And of course mom and I had bottom-less coffee. Yummy!
Later in the evening, us girls made Father Dearest his greatly desired pizza, and we made calzones for ourselves. We brushed the outside with egg and after 15 minutes on 440 degrees, they came out a gorgeous golden brown. The family didn't finish dinner until 10:15, and then we played Uno until midnight! (Uno is this totally awesome card game which mom won once and I won twice. It was Dad's first time playing, and he claims he will be beating everyone after he plays it a bit more. He was also disgusted by "how much it's based on luck". Yeah, Dad. Uh-huh, whatever you say... *winks*) It was quite fun, actually. What's next the Cofer's list? Monopoly!

hey you :P sounds like brie's the basketball monster. you would *love* english classes here...it's 12 of us, and we sit around an oval table in a room like a CEO's office. it's nuts! all the chairs are really squishy, and the building is pristine...not to mention the teacher is brilliant. my writing topic is Time Travels, and we're reading Poe, Alice in Wonderland (how matrixy), quantum physics books. it would be great if there wasn't so much actual writing =] oh, and did i mention that my teacher plays wow?

Becca- in Paris this fall I ate le jambon de pays (a ham sandwich). when i returned to the states, i could not kick the habit... what can I say? I love pork! (I missed bacon while being a veg-head). But I don't eat cow--i tried it and was just really grossed out. When you come up this spring/summer, we should go there (Up For Breakfast) together!!!

Diogo- I know, monopoly takes forever!!! I can't wait. Uno is NOT a standard deck. it's "special" ::

Amy- Oooo, maybe I could shadow you at Duke sometime. Wouldn't that be fun? Didn't the author of Alice take drugs? Oh shush you and your writing pains. You don't have an AP English exam this week! except... college is probably harder anyway. lols. <3333
