well, the posting has, yet again, gotten away from me. i've just gotten so busy. what with school, work, and not cleaning my apartment or doing dishes, i've not had time for the ol' blog. not much new to report. i'm just watching will and grace and stalling on finishing up on the paper that's due saturday. one more week of summer school and work, then it's off to tennessee and north carolina. gotta check out boone and appalachian state...make sure i want to invest 2 or so years into it. plus it'll be nice to hang out with trevor's family. my family's off to the beach next week, and i'm just a tad green-eyed. i don't even remember the last time i was at a beach. i think i was 19 or something. yikes.
well, that's about all my attention span can get out for now. i'll post more sometime soon.

surprise!
i know i already posted today, but that was before i had the rest of a good morning/early afternoon. so i'd done some schoolwork (enough to be satisfied with myself for the time being) and rested and showered and whatnot, and i decided i'd go out shopping for a birthday present for erica, whose birthday was thursday. i went to the box turtle, which has been my favorite shop lately, and because they were having a 20% off everything sale...great combo. well, on my way out to the car i noticed a box sticking out of the mailbox next to mine. normally i'm not a snoop, but it was an amazon box, and i have had my mail put in the incorrect box before. but i thought, surely it couldn't be my harry potter...it's not due till next week sometime (see post from earlier today). but it was! i'm totally thrilled. now i've just got to finish up my other book so i can get started on this one (which will probably happen today!). at the box turtle i found a fun present for erica, and i found a fabulous fabulous skirt on super super sale (i saved$77) that will go great (i'm pretty sure) with a top i already have, so now i have something fun to wear to hayden and peter's art show tonight.
oh, and another highlight is that my sage plant that i'd container planted perked back up after the rain yesterday evening. it had been looking droopy since the move from the garden to the fire escape...so horray for timely rain. finally, a good day.

wow, i can't believe it's been that long since i posted. it seems like just the other day. nope, it was 2 whole weeks ago. things have been just crazy busy here. i feel like i'm almost never home. between work, school, trevor, family, and occasionally friends, i'm always on the go. lately i feel like there's not been enough summer in my summer. i am letting myself do some summer reading, though (which, of course, means i'm not reading for class). i'm about to finish the poisonwood bible by barbra kingsolver, which has been really good. i'm pumped that the new harry potter came out today. it would have been arriving in the mail toay if i weren't a cheapo and requested super saver free shipping delivery. but i guess that just gives me time to finish my bible.
wedding planning is coming along, i suppose. we've got a date and a place: may 13, 2006 at wildwood park.
well, it's time for a late breakfast. i've been up since 7 this morning doing schoolwork and reading for fun alternatively....
