• Summertime!

  {Random update, little substantive thought, just a list of doings!}

  At last it is summer, for me anyways.  I returned home on Saturday last week; packing sure was exhausting.  Time has flown by, and I will [sadly] be returning to school probably this Friday for the summer session.  I spent Sunday with my family and computer (playing Wii & singing a LOT of karaoke on http://www.karaokeparty.com/ [this website is AWESOME if your computer has a microphone; it monitors and scores your singing] & editing my new layout).

  Monday was fairly productive; I woke up at 6:00 AM to give my brother a ride to school (crazy, I know, but mom wasn't feeling well).  Then I returned home, and ate breakfast, then went to Sholom Park with Mom.  That park is one of the most beautiful parks I have been to--so serene and filled with blooming flowers, overlooking a pasture of some sort.  I will post pictures from previous trips, later.  After walking for about 2 hours, we went shopping.  My mom's eyes LIGHT up when she sees North Face and other hiking companies, so she was fairly hyper when we stopped by a fishing store that advertised North Face products.  I stopped by ULTA and bought some makeup.  It's strange; generally speaking, I wear very little makeup  (takes forever to wash off!), but I love having colors, so I have a HUGE stockpile of makeup.    Then we grabbed some food, returned home, and I did laundry, washed 2 cars (now I am golden colored again).  Played more Wii, watched some basketball (YAY! Magics beat the Celts!  Only Game 1 though, keep goin'!), watched the most recent How I Met Your Mother episode (!), and such!

  Today was less productive; I got up at 12 , ate fooood, and everything else seems a little hazy.  O_O. I picked my brother up from school and went to Hobby Lobby for a bit.  I am preparing a surprise for my parents tomorrow--it will be their 25th anniversary (will post pictures later!  Waiting for mom to go to sleep so I can set up the display!).  My grandparent's 60th anniversary recently passed.    It's so amazing!

  Then, I took my brother out to Ale House, where we ate deliciously fatty foods and gorged ourselves and still had leftover food.  Which reminds me, mom is now worried about my cholesterol levels.  Life back in the days (cave days!) must've been harder and easier!  Harder because there were no refridgerators and grocery stores, but easier without having to sweat things like cholesterol, medication, and such!  Just pass the days; being fat back then was probably good--a sign of being a good hunter/plentiful food?  Grunt!

  I'm really happy though!  Tomorrow I will see Shadiya for the first time since winter break; there's nothing nicer then seeing friends, especially after school induced droughts!  I feel a little sad about going back to school, because that way I have a lot less time to spend with my family and home-friends, though I'll be seeing a good number of school friends this way.

  New cell phones should be arriving tomorrow!  I will be on Verizon with an LG Dare. 

  I feel so much healthier at home; the food is amazing and NOT fatty the way school food is, and I actually get enough sleep and have been exercising.  I feel like my health has been declining at USF.  I need to balance out more time for exercise; but I am such a perfectionist with school work that it absorbs all my time!  -_-.  I'll have to figure out something to do with that.
