They may be pretty, but they are nothing but trouble! My apartment has these lovely, antique crystal doorknobs on the doors. The one on the bathroom door, in particular, is quite a nuisance, as it often got stuck at the beginning of the year. We finally set it so that the door closes but never latches, so that neither my roommate or I got stuck in there anymore. Then, there's the issue of when the latch decided to slip...
I got home quite late last night to find all the lights and the television on and Alexa nowhere in sight. She was tired before I left, so I figured she would have been long asleep when I got back. Then, I saw the bathroom door closed, so I assumed, "Oh, she must be in the shower. It's pretty late for her, though." I hung my keys on the hook and heard, "Sam! Help me get out! I am stuck!" The latch had slipped AND the doorknob had fallen off and was subsequently laying on the floor on my side of the door. Trying not to laugh because it really was a very serious matter (yet still extremely funny!), I eventually got the doorknob to go back in and unlatch the door. Apparently, she'd been in there for 3 1/2 hours!, so basically this had happened right after I left! Poor girl! She was pretty distressed.
We were in tears from laughing hysterically today about it, though! Our friend Haley said that that is the kind of thing you see happen in a movie but not in real life. Well, Alexa and I could have our own unscripted TV sitcom and would provide a lot of entertainment to people because stuff like that happens to us all the time! We are Laverne & Shirley! haha!
Also...I must send a "BRAVI TUTTI" to the cast of Little Women, especially Alexa, who played a magnificent Josephine March. :) I sat in two dress rehearsals and went to both shows...3 of those times, I was in complete sobs when Beth died. I know it is going to happen...it is one of my favorite books and stories, and yet, it gets me every time. And that song, "Some Things are Meant to Be," does not help the matter either! (I didn't cry all four times because I was sitting beside Alexa's dad during one of the performances, and we were too busy snickering at the little girl in front of us that kept hiding her eyes every time there was kissing. haha!)
Watching that show, I realized just how much I, myself, am like Jo. I was chatting with Chad today, and he said, "Yep! Stubborn...check...strong-willed...check...independent...check...short-tempered...check..." haha! So true.
I was walking to the campus center this afternoon to check my mail, and I saw that there was a blood drive going on. For about a split second, I thought that it might be a good idea to go donate...and then I thought it probably isn't the most ideal time for me to pass out, again...nor do I ever want to pass out, again! haha!
Undergraduate Symposium on Research presentation tomorrow afternoon! "The Phenomenon of Vocal Vibrato." Eek! I will be happy when it is over...it was not a smart life choice to agree to doing this. I hate public speaking! I mean, I do it...no big deal...but I do not enjoy it.

Alexa's mom came over yesterday evening and brought us a yummy dinner and cookies! :) She cooked for like 20, so some friends came over in shifts, and we ate, chatted, visited, sang, laughed...
