Two days, vacay!

Hello all! I have been busy busy busy at work and in my own life, trying to get ready for my vacay! It is coming fast, and I am so ready for it. I am sorry I’ve not been around to post, but here’s how my week has gone:

Sunday — A trip to brunch, then Amoeba, then home to rest, complete with a trip to Target for my trip to Yosemite and a TJs run

Monday — An improv night with my cousin, AJ, and Jeff, Cor, and Andrew

Tuesday — Laundry with the Allens, complete with a FINISHED game of Scrabble (good one, Jeff) and 11 washers. That’s right — between the four of us, we used 11 washers. Andrew pointed out that is 2.5 ish per person, which yes, is reasonable, but still. 11 washers? A new high, for us. And we didn’t get home until 11 because Corelyn and I needed to have an hour and a half of “girl time” aka “Everwood” time.

Wednesday, tonight — Paul and Becca for dinner, along with the Allens, for Meatloaf (and something for the veg) and maybe, just maybe, a treat for Paul’s birthday.

Thursday night — packing!!!!!!! I am going to be in MI for 5 days, NYC for 5 days, and will need Camp Waterloo and City Chic dress. Very different, and both important. Oh, and did I mention I wasn’t planning on check a bag?

Friday night — Fly out at 11:35pm for Michigan!

Hopefully this week I will get a chance to post to you all the CDs I bought at Amoeba last weekend.

iPhone, busy weekend.

Well this weekend saw some busy days, and I feel like I need a break. Cor and I have decided to have a “Vacation from home” weekend coming up, which should be simple (but not necessarily easy) for us to do. Reading, Scrabble, etc. It shall be marvelous.

I got my fancy new iPhone, which is nice to have (I love having an iPod and games and all my contacts and the interweb) and I got to see friends old and new, and spend some time in the pool acting like a five-year-old. It was excellent. Listed on the “never to that again” list from this weekend: make 2 lasagnas in 90 degree weather. Check, got it, thank you Universe. 😉

My new phone!

This week, to do:

  • Finish Catch-22, the book club book for July
  • Laundry
  • Eating through the leftovers in my fridge
  • Clean my room
  • RELAX.

How are all of your mid-Julys?

5 Good Things & 5 Annoying Things

We’ll start with the annoying ones, because we love to end on happy notes.

1. When I read things like “Women’s Health” and look at articles that gurantee I’ll lose some pounds just by eating better and right (ie “Don’t drinking soda (check) and look out for sodium, sugar content, and carbs. Check, check, check.)

2. Living in LA with people who are walking around Hollywood like it’s Times Square — only Hollywood and Highland is dirty, and no one should go there.

3. When your job knocks a building down, and you have to leave your office, and they don’t send you home even though that’s all you wanna do!

4. Band aids that rip your skin off.

5. Bike grease.

5 Excellent Things:

1. Going to Becca’s tonight to have dinner with Jeff, Bec, Jen, and Paul.

2. Going to the Third Eye Blind concert TOMORROW.

3. Going home on Friday.

4. A clean desk at work since it’s slowed down enough for me to catch my breath.

5. Third Eye Blind’s new CD, August. (eeeekkk!!)
