Entry: Gettin in the swing of summer... Sunday, May 28, 2006



I've been sleeping in almost every day and it's spectacular. I went from feeling finally well-rested to feeling lazy in about a week. But what, you might ask, have I been up to beside sleeping?

Well....unfortunately for the few of you who still check back here every so often, I don't get to use the computer terribly often because I'm at my parents house and have two siblings who tend to monopolize the computer. My brother glues his ass to the computer chair as often as possible and all he usually does is listen to music and use aim. Loser.

Anyway, the first week I was back (14th-20th) there was much sleeping and some working. I also got to visit my grandparents for mother's day. I drove to SP one day to see Amanda's spectacular recital...my mom came too cause it was free, she didn't have anything to do, and I didn't want to go by myself. Now she wants to see "I Love You You're Perfect Now Change". I also got to hang with Holly and Willow and I think I had a Laura day (visited a bank, looked at houses, picked up her bf's motorcycle, and ate sushi) and some quality Jess time in there too. And of course, as much Matt time as I could. That might've even been the week I dyed (well, lowlighted) Jess's hair, which turned out quite lovely if I may say so. I also got to spend a day driving to Madison with Mom and Aunt Amy to move Theresa back home. That was fun. We had some great Mexican food while we were down there....but my margarita was sorely disappointing. It was supposed to taste like sour apple and it just tasted like sour crap. No one else would drink it either. Anyway...I think I also went to Oshkosh just for fun one day to hang with Theresa....I mean, I know I did, I just can't remember if it was that week...we went canoeing with the pseudo-priest she's in love with (yeah...my cousin is in love with a guy who's in seminary right now....kinda like that TV show...). We played the chauffeur game for Aunt Amy because their van had a flat tire and hit up the outlet mall, binging on $3 shirts at Old Navy and thoroughly enjoying the Bath & Body Works outlet. Then we enjoyed some coffee talk at Starbucks until I needed to go home. I think that was all I did that week....I pulled this partially from my memory and partially from scribbled notes in my day planner.

This past week I did some more sleeping. I also bought some running shoes (with Matt's assistance...bless his patient heart) and took up jogging. I'm very out of shape and still can't breathe the greatest but I'm going to work on it slowly because I remember having once really enjoyed running. Anyway, I did get to hang with Jess again this week, which is always great. I like smart people. And babies. I did work one day in there at the service desk, and I hung out with Matt a few times....though more limited because he started at the mill and they started him on days. Orientation was like "by the way, you're starting at 5am tomorrow..." bastards. One night Holly and I rented (on Amanda's recommendation) High School Musical....which was the corniest thing I've seen in a long time, but infinitely entertaining. We missed a lovely thunderstorm though.

 Last night (that would be Friday night) when I got out of work at 9:30 I kidnapped Matt and we went down to Sloshkosh to get sloshed (well...we actually didn't...but most of the others did) for Theresa's 21st birthday. We also had a break between bars (Matt and I were there for 3) for gyros. It was a lot of fun, even if Theresa and Cindy made me dance. Oh....I recommend a drink called a Dirty Girl Scout....tastes kind of like a thin mint....very good....the bartender at Molly Maguire's made me one when I told him to mix up something I hadn't tried before. Matt and I left shortly after 1am, then I headed home and to bed.

Today was relatively unexciting. I slept in...woke up with a head cold and a sore throat...did some cleaning around the house, sat in the sun for about half an hour, and worked for 7.5hrs...with Bob, Bane of my Existence. Bastard. So glad he's not closing again tomorrow. When I was driving home at 11:30 it was refreshingly cool and the sky was lit up with some spectacular heat lightning. I really wanted to go for a walk and enjoy it. Upon arriving at home, I discovered that Meredith and cousin Emily, who was visiting, also wanted to go for a walk. So we set out down the steep hill to the river. As soon as we got to the bottom of the hill it started pouring. So...we ran back up...and the other two were in flip flops. We were completely soaked by the time we got back to the house, the equivalent of maybe a block and a half away.

That's all for my update....Cheerio!
