I PAAASSSSSSSEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!

boys...

ugh... these boys make me CRAZY sometimes... they are my cousins, and they live at my house this week. they are always bored. and they are constantly picking at one another. they just left to go to the pool with our neighbor and her little boy. let's all breathe a sigh of relief that i wasn't asked to accompany them.

why is my TEXT DISAPPEARING?!?

this blog is starting to make me crazy. though i do think this is a fun new trick that i just happened upon. i think i may start o-ver. or at least i want a new background! polka dots are SO out.

new pictures...

a most random assortment of photos from my latest roll of development...

the end of the hiatus

the past two weeks have been insanely unbusy. a great summer break, so far...

i spent a few days with lots of family in from various points of the globe. it was a great time.

then i went to kid's camp for a week. is it bad that i had a huge crush on the camp pastor? why yes, i'm sure it is. but he was H-O-T.

hours after returning from camp i went to stay with my cousin who recently moved close from far. she's pregnant and her husband is off getting trained for his new job, so i went over to play. we spent a few days at our favorite aunt's house too, which was an especially good time. we swam in the lake everyday, minimally dodging large quantities of goose poo.

i just got home this evening. tomorrow i'm going with my mom to a seminar, after which we will meet my other aunt (my grandparents had 4 daughters...) to pick up her two boys who will be staying at our house for a week. they should keep me busy. hopefully i don't murder either of them... ;-)

coffee shop lady

during school over the past couple years, i always thought, "man, it'd be nice to come hang out at the coffee shop and read for fun like all the normal people around who have normal lives do. but no. i have to sit here and study for the __________ (fill in the name of whatever class it happened to be that day) exam."

so today, i ended my three day pajama streak, and did just that. i spent probably 2 hours there this morning. reading a book. alledgedly for fun. turns out the book was treacherous, but that's another story all together.

anyway, since i'm back in the hometown for the next couple of months, i was in a coffee shop that i am not considered a "regular" at. not yet anyway. but i happen to know that the lady who runs the place has a daughter who is also in medical school. so everytime i go in, we have a friendly little chat about how hard life is etc etc. she's a really nice lady.

anyway, i met a friend for lunch and did some minor shopping. afterwards, i decided to make a trip to the public library to pick up some decent reading material (as the one i was about to finish was making me want to gouge my own eyeballs out). low and behold, who is at the library but the coffee shop lady.

if we're to be seeing this much of one another, i should at least take it upon myself to learn her name. maybe tomorrow.

london

another unbelievable tragedy.

the posse... or the study group... whichever...

~hot-T~

i love boys with curly hairs. seriously. a girl in our class told me she thought hot-t was hot the other day. i accidentally told him when we were out at the bar that night. oops. i think it's breaking some sort of unspoken girl code. but i totally like him better than her anyway. and it seems the next day he was totally obvious about it. b/c she asked me later that night if i'd told him. whoopsydaisy. ~karma~

the same girl that said hot-T was a hot-t also asked me if karma and i were in love. we knew there were people thinking it. but come on folks. he wears a WEDDING RING. i'm TOTALLY not that kind of girl.

~go big red~

i love this picture. looking oh-so-tan. we know it causes cancer. but don't you just feel better about yourself when you are a little crispy and know that it will turn into a pretty bronze color. so alive! we were pre-tanning for our spring break trip to daytona beach.
