more summer plans

For as long as I can remember I've never done much over the summer. This summer I finally have a full time job and suddenly am totally booked for the whole summer! I've had plans for Disneyland and Wisconsin for a while now, but a few days ago I found out that my close friend is coming down from Alaska to visit! BUSY BUSY BUSY! So much time and so little to do! Scratch that. Reverse it.

shopping day

Mom and I had to do some serious shopping today to prepare for our upcoming trips. I spent more than I wanted to, but I did get quite a few things that I actually did need.

Things I needed:

• Shoes for the Wisconsin wedding. Check.
• Luggage. Check.
• Camera case. Check.
• iPod Case. Check.
• Travel stuff (shampoo, toothpaste, etc.). Check.
• Work pants. Check.
• Hair mousse. Check.
• Dry erase board. Check.
• Tank tops.
• Spray paint.
• Poster board.

Things I didn't need:

• The Mummy Special Edition on DVD. It's my favorite movie, I couldn't help it.
• Polish pottery. It was at Ross! Mom and I couldn't believe it! So, we got some. It was so cheap and normally it's kinda spendy. Totally worth it.
• Rolling Stones coffee cup. It says "It's only rock n' roll" on it! Totally rad.
• A new notepad. Okay, I have an obsession with lists and this thing was little and 50% off! Basically it was perfect.
• Nail polish. Mom paid for it so it's excusable.

We are now 5-5 which I believe is the best we've ever done. Here are some photos.

summer update

This summer is going good so far. The 4th of July was fun as always. Pictures to come soon. Every year I spend it at Christina's house with her huge family. I sprained my thumb playing volleyball with her Samoan cousins. It's hurts. When I told my mom, the first thing she said was "is it your throwing hand or your catching hand?" She was referring to softball and it is my throwing hand (right). Which, is apparently good because if it was my catching hand it would never heal because of the impact from the ball. However, the fact that it is my right hand means that I use it for everything else.

Speaking of softball, my team (the Biohazards) are 3-3. Our next game is tomorrow night and now that I have a camera I will be able to post some photos.

The drama at work never seems to end and leaves me constantly exhausted. Other than the drama though, I think it's going well.

In the coming weeks I will be going on three different trips. The first, Disneyland, comes in the end of July. It will be my first trip to Disneyland and I'm beyond excited. The second is to Wisconsin to see my cousin get married. I can't wait to go to the Amish store and get some good food. The third is camping at Kalaloch, which I look forward to all year long.

Last but not least, Bear Festival is this weekend so expect a post about that. Ali is in charge of the royalty and I think I'll be driving the float for the second week in a row. I'm hoping this year isn't too much of a failure. The lack of effort and enthusiasm from the Bear Festival Committee is astounding.

The first night I arrived home from school I started reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. I finished the third one last week and am I'm having post-good book separation anxiety. I finally started another but it took a while to find the right one.

The Twilight series is amazing and I highly recommend it. In fact, it is so good that I have fallen in love with the male lead, Edward Cullen. He's even invading my dreams. It's bad. I'm not sure it's healthy to fall in love with literary characters, but I have...once again.

Now I'm waiting for the next book to come out in August and the movie to come out in December. I hope I can make it.
