Clean Sheet Night

Is there anything better than clean sheet night? Picture this- You pull back the bedspread of a freshly made bed and slip right in to the middle of the tightly pulled sheets. You exhale a weeks worth of stress as you feel the crisp and cool fabric of your sheets rub against your legs. You lay still for a few minutes, not wanting to lose this euphoria. Then, slowly, you begin to move each leg until it catches a section of cold, untouched fabric allowing you to enjoy another minute or two of bliss. Okay okay, maybe I enjoy clean sheet night a little more than the average person, but it's the little things, ya know?

I, admittedly, do a poor job of living in the present. Not to say that I don't enjoy things or recognise things while they are happening (See paragraph above), but it seems as if there is always something I am trying to work for in the future. This weekend is one of those things. I get to go home and see my fam for Easter! I have been talking with my brothers girlfriend, Ashley, and we have decided to make this Easter one of fun and games. Nothing brings a family together quite like unhealthy, family rivaled, competition, right? I have prepared myself to dominate at any card game that gets suggested. I personally feel that we should bring in a few games from"Minute To Win It" as well. I will let you know how this goes. What could go wrong??

In addition to the family festivities soon to occur, I am also super excited about Friday! I get to go to The Civil Wars concert in Lawrence! I'm pretty stoked about this, I'm not gonna lie. Here is one of their songs. I am including this in my post because when my mother, (who swore she would kill me if I ever mentioned her in a post), heard that I was going to see the Civil Wars, she called me a "nerd of a daughter." She was relieved to hear that it was not a museum or reenactment, until I told her that I would actually really enjoy something like that as well. Sorry to disappoint you Momma! But in the interest of staying the favorite, I feel like you should know that Nic makes faces behind your back when you talk.

In other news, I started a new book this weekend! Pride and Prejudice. I'm only three chapters in, and so far I have been able to follow along. Before starting the book, the only things I knew about it were from You've Got Mail. Heck, if Meg Ryan has a hard time following the language, I don't stand a chance! But move over Meggy, I may just have some smarts after all :) I will keep you updated.
