YOU ARE MY SWEETEST DOWNFALL
(Regina Spektor)
Life is good here. I'm getting my things done. I'm feeling like i've accomplished things. Though just writing that phrase makes me realize that i have a list of things to do here in front of me on my wall that i haven't done yet. SO, this weekend i'm going to tackle at least one of them and complete it. SO...that's my goal for myself.
Anyway. I'm alive.

in one week from yesterday i will be a resident of Winona one last time. Ugh...get this over with. I'm excited and sad and scared. All at once. I don't like the idea of going back to school, but i certainly don't openly welcome the idea of being done with it either. i don't know what to think.
yesterday i went to Lanesboro with ma and pa and we rode 20 miles on our bikes. (i had a rent-a-bike) it was a lot of fun. good exercise and great weather and just a good feeling. riding bike isn't so bad when you are on a trail and no one can see how nerdy you look except the other nerds on their bikes. what fun! Anyway...i better get this hair dried before it sticks like this. YUCK!
ciao!

well the four wheelers (there Mom, are you happy? i fixed it) are back at it and i'm about ready to break something. there ought to be a law...oh wait, there is.
30 MPH or i will call the cops!
and please...if you must make that awful noise with your stupid toy...then go somewhere that i can't hear it because to me, that noise is worse than nails on a chalkboard. times 1000.

Well, i guess i've been a duck for long enough. Here i sit on the deck during my second day off for the summer. Turns out i was not needed to babysit for the boys like i thought i was going to. We had planned for me to watch them way back in May, but aparently the plan changed...nice of them to let me know i suppose. At any rate, i now have two weeks with nothing to do. I quit working at Barnes and Noble early so that i could just watch the boys and not have to worry about anything else, but since they don't need me to babysit anymore, i have all the free time in the world! its good!
Since i finished my STI (theatre camps) for the summer i've been just really mellow. I had a wedding to go to on Saturday after my final STI show...it was beautiful. I really liked the color scheme they had going on too. dark chocolate brown with a light pink accent. really really pretty! Then on Sunday i worked my final day of Barnes and Noble and i received a beautiful boquet of roses! They were a surprise fromy mommy, just for making it through the summer with all my jobs and school and everything i had going on. It was a wonderful surprise! here's what they looked like!
Yesterday, i had a dentist appointment. Man i don't like the dentist! but now my tooth is fixed and i no longer have to worry about it. Then i went and hung out at the theatre with some of the STI kids and my friends that are still working. It was nice to see them all again. After that i came home for dinner and then around 7:30 went back into rochester to meet my cousin. She had some shopping to do. I gave her a gift card for Victoria's Secret for her wedding shower last week, and we went and picked some things out yesterday. HEE HEE...so scandalous!
Today i got up at 11:30 (haven't done that since may) and just bummed around all morning. i watched soap operas and laid out in the sun. then this afternoon i made cookies and had dinner with my dad. it was a lovely day of nothingness, though i almost felt bad for doing nothing. I'm not used to being lazy. At any rate...i hope to make it to the beach a few times this week...and tomorrow night i'm heading into rochester for some Karaoke at Westfire! WOOO HOOO! its a blast! Can't wait! Ok, well that's all for now. School starts in two weeks...yuck. let's not talk about it please. Thanks!

Hi. I've been gettin harped at to update. BUT I'd like to tell you that I haven't done anything very exciting. I just get up every morning at 7:30am, and get ready, drive to the theatre, teach kids theatre and dance, and then either A) go to work at Barnes and Noble, or B) go out with friends, or C)go home. i don't do anything extremely exciting!
I'd like to say that I went over to my cousin's house and practiced the song with him that we will be singing for his sister's wedding. Brie is getting married in October and we've got some work to do, but it should be a good song. The problem for me is, Brice had to play it on guitar in a different Key and so it raises the key in which i sing...and its not my best range. BUT, we'll work something out and it'll be alright. Just right for Brie. i hope!
Ok, so here's a little story. We have a house infested with Flies. Not just normal flies...they are HUGE, slow, stupid flies. these flies are everywhere. there are like a million of them and they just sit there. they fly really low to the ground, and they are so easy to hit and kill. its just really bizarre. so...these flies are taking over the house...and i'm not ok with this. gross gross gross. so yeah..anyway...i'm tired. its bedtime.
i'm an old woman going to bed at 9, before my father. LAME! tomorrow night i'm going to Karaoke at Westfire...9pm. be there! i will be out late tomorrow, so its early to bed tonight. so goodnight.
