Happy Easter! Today was definitely a great last day of spring break. The weather was so beautiful that my dad and brother and I played basketball with each other outside! It was so much fun to spend some quality time together. I spent most of the day reading Harry Potter (I'm trying to finish the series before my eighteenth birthday, which is on April 16th, because I feel like I need to read it one last time before I turn eighteen, because the last book is when Harry is 17. I know I'm weird. I'm in the beginning of the Half-Blood Prince, so I need to read quickly!) and watching Skins. I reached and surpassed my goal of finishing the first two seasons -- I've started the fourth! It's literally the best TV show EVER. For our Easter dinner we ate ham, asparagus, fried potatoes, fresh pineapple, and key lime pie (which is the only kind of pie I'll eat). It was delicious!
Tomorrow is both a very happy and a very sad day. It's happy because my brother is turning 16 and we're eating dinner at Oklahoma Joe's (famous for their amazing barbecue) and I get to give him the Vineyard Vines polo I bought for him that I know he'll love! But it's also very sad because my best friend's dad died on April 1st, 2010. It may seem silly that I should feel very sad about my best friend's dad's death, but I cannot express how special, loving, and kind he was. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met, and I miss him every day. I have horrible memories of that day, but hopefully I'll be able to get through it.
I hope you had a great Easter and wish me luck on my first day back at school tomorrow!
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
