Today was my relaxing day before I go off to cook dinner for the parents and children in the Ronald McDonald House in Portland. It's been just that- relaxing and sentimental. At noon, I started cooking my mashed cauliflower and potatoes and I put the Boeuf Bourguignon into the oven. I then started the 2009 movie Julie & Julia with two of my favorite actresses, Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. It's an amazing movie, I absolutely love it. The story of the blogger who is just trying to do something for herself to have something to do. It's not like I don't already have so many things I need to be doing, this blog is just a way for me to be me.
While eating my boeuf bourguignon, I watched the movie. What a lovely afternoon alone. I love it. There is a part where she goes to a bookstore, and tries to find a French cookbook in English. Anyway, I've been to that bookstore in Paris! It was nice seeing that. Well, I must get ready for my volunteering today! I will probably post more about my experience later!
LATER- So, the Ronald McDonald House was really amazing, actually. I connected with some of the families staying there. It was really cool. After, we went out for dinner and drinks. It was really relaxing. I also found out that I'm on the list to go to Turkey this summer, if the trip actually happens. So, yay! I had a great night. Off to bed. Tomorrow is a huge day!
Another awesome thing is that Jacob was initiated into Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity tonight! I'm very proud of my Alpha Sig! :]
