Summer trails

Ahh - that's as poetic as I get in a title. Well, I need to put a to do list at the end of this, but I will throw in an actual blog entry .

One thing I have found is that I am quickly running out of money for my summer. My trip to the Ren Fair and to Valley Fair this last weekend was the last straw. I'll have to ask Mom for a little loan so I can move into the dorms and be ready for living on my own again.

My right arm is in turmoil. I don't have health insurance ATM and so I end up suffering with this tendonitis crap. They tested me for carpal tunnel and said that was negative. But, it's killing me to do some things (especially after hanging onto the scary rides on Sunday at Valley Fair).

Personal news all over on my end, but don't think I'll discuss anything of that nature here. D doesn't particularly like blogs and I don't want him to feel uncomfortable about my having one.

And sometimes I wonder if I should go ahead and stop blogging. I had a professor call it an "immodest" hobby and you know what? I actually agree with him. It is immodest and it seems sometimes to be something... of a burden.

To Do:

• E-Mail O'Donnell at UND
• Check Bill's Thesis
• Call Amy about HC Office and perhaps moving in early
• Help Aspen move into dorm
• Clean out Car

3 Year Blog Anniversary!

Yep, three years! Go blog!

What a summer

My Summer has been filled with all sorts of responsibilities, problems and fun!

D has taken me sailing and out on the lake a lot - enjoying the summer while we can. I am hoping next weekend he will take me again and maybe go tubing (crossing fingers).

We're doing the garage sale at the moment - what a lot of work. however, I have made some good money that I need for the Valley Fair /Ren Fair trip in August !!!! /bounce /bounce.

What's a happening, hot Stuff?

Well...

Biggest changes so far include the disappearance of one of my cats (Aristophanes, she's been gone for 3-4 weeks now) and my blue fishy that would do the flying fish trick passed away (either died of natural causes under the clam shell or accidentally got stuck and drowned).

Mom has decided to stay here, so I *should* be living in the dorms during the next year. I will also be Hall Council president and working as a GA in the library (Which must be official since the money is in my financial aid report).

I've been doing jobs for my grandparents and working on mom's house. The garage is slowly being cleaned up and organized.

Went to the fair at the waterfront today with D and met with his family and some of their friends for dinner at the Union Station. We talked a lot about what we'd do in a couple days :)

Staying, moving, staying, moving... Staying! hehe

Yes, yes... mom has been up to her antics again making everyone wonder what next year will be like. She has been going to the cities off and on for interviews to check out other schools and found some very decent places to work. However, 4am the other morning she wakes me up and tells me in a slight panic that she is too old to go do something like that and she would lose the house and would miss everyone. I suppose some of those points are right, but a lot of it is just excuses to not try something new. And she has something else (Edited for nastyness that may come out). BUT, it's none of MY business and I keep promising myself I'll stay out of it, but GRRRRRRRR /shove /kick /out

My summer has been A++ so far. Been enjoying the time off and sleeping 'til I want to and deciding what to do day by day. It's great.

Next Summer, I plan on living in the apartment where y next school will be or something - because I am just going insane! I need my own place, too old to live with my mother. /sigh

So, my year is still set.. I will be working in the library, living in the dorms next to D, and Hall Council President for Oak Hall. That seems like a good break. This should be a wonderful semester coming up.

Back to my relaxing (sorta) vacation.

Gone for a week

I should be back around the 15th. Heading to my Grandma's house to paint, rip up carpeting and putting down new carpeting. Should be otherwise relaxing.
