Blueberries

I love blueberries, in case you don't know, and it seems that the Chinese do, too. Who would have thought it? You can get everything blueberry flavored, even potato chips. (see What the Snack is That? blog post "Even Emma Won't Eat Them.") But anyway at one point I was obsessed about how you could never find blueberry ice cream, and I even made my own blueberry ice cream. Then, when we went to the Coldstone Creamery and they had blueberry ice cream, so I just had to get some. It was calling to me... Anyway, I'm just hoping that they also have an obsession for fresh blueberries.

Added later:
By the way, there's also blueberry gum. It's actually pretty good.

happy

I'm happy.

We went to IKEA the other day and now I'm happy because we got some new furniture and now it feels a little bit more like home. I love IKEA! But anyway the thing I'm the happiest about right now is that it's the mid-Autumn festival and we got a day off of school.

It's weird because whoever furnished our apartment gave us kids a twin bed, a full bed, and a queen bed, and decided to put the queen and full in my and Allyne's bedroom and the twin in John's, so we literally have about ten square feet of floor space. We're going to switch out the beds so John gets the queen, I get the full, and Allyne gets the twin (so we have more floorspace) but I'm going to miss that queen bed because it's really cozy and I can stretch out as much as I want. The full bed is about as hard as a rock, so I tried to get Mom to buy me a nice mattress from IKEA, but she wouldn't. Anyway I got a nice douvee set from IKEA. It's not the one I wanted (there was one nice blue-and green one I saw in Tempe) but we got this other one and I really want to get it out and set up my bed but we have to deal with the bed-switching situation first and I'm really impatient.
