:D

Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway.

back from the dead!

Actually, I'm just back from camping, I went with my mom up towards Palm Springs. We left Wednesday morning and came home today. While we were up there, we saw plenty of little animals. We even were able to see stars! it was amazing- you could see the Milky-Way! It was also fun to go swimming- I don't usually enjoy swimming, but when it is as hot as it was, it felt great!

a first

i went kayaking today. i enjoyed it immensely! gary (who is a city council member) called the rental store (bc someone who is over 18 is supposed to sign release forms) and arranged everything for us. well, when we finally got there they gave us really good paddles and a really good kayak. we went to the canals by naples. we went to see the jellyfish. we swam with the jelly fish. the whole way, people were friendly, calling out and talking. on the way back, i sat backwards, so we could talk better, and that got even more comments! we were out for 1 hr and 45min, so we had a few dollars left. we went to second street, where we decided to go to a pizza place. they told us about a special they were having. buy two pieces of pizza, and get some free beer! i just responded, "oh, okay." later, they asked us if we wanted the beer, and we said no. then they asked us how old we were. apparently they thought us over 21 and were willing to hand us some booze :D then, danielle and i came to my house for awhile!

favorite location..

.its a grind! love that place. i went with amy today, and we figured it was the first time we had done anything alone together. weve gone half way across the world, but never done anything just us. anyways! amy hadnt had lunch, so we went to subway, and these two guys were in line behind us. one of them reaches across his friend and nudges me. im just like- what do you want? he points to the floor near the drinks, and says- isnt that the biggest roach youve ever seen? it was! i had always thought of it as a clean place. then it started crawling towards us and amy and i ran out. ewww! then we came to my house and i showed her my room! the end. oh, except after that, i made a collage. and we made curly french fries! so yummy. the end. for real.

work

some days, work is so much fun, and other days, it is a complete bore! today was fun- alot of friendly people came in. i had conversations about teacups, businesses round about, purses, clothes, etc. it also helps to have a good book for the in-between times.

i was surfing other blogs, and alicia's had this on it, so i did it, and heres what it says about me.

today i went to the sherman gardens for lunch. i went with 5 cousins/aunts etc. the gardens were lovely! full of plants youve never seen before! it must have been fun for God to make all the different kinds.
before i left for lunch though, i saw my daddy walk! the first tome i can remember!

lately

well, most importantly, i am an aunt! heather and nathan got a puppy. a bull terrier- margo!

i was also painting with a maniac.

i went to the beach twice with all of my cousins, etc. a group of about 20.

i bbsat this little boy. he had SO MUCH HAIR!!! his name is max. his sister is 9 months, name is clara.

this week

has been so busy and so enjoyable. monday and wednesday, i went to danielle's house to paint her room, tuesday and thursday, i went to the beach with my cousins. each time with a group of about 20 people. today i read jane eyre- a book i love, and bbsat for a new family, i'll post more on that later, most likely. tomorrow i work at the store, and am supposed to go to danielle's to make sure she finished her room. i told her i would, and completely forgot i had to work, so i'll go afterwards.

i dug a hole and now i am sore!!!

manhattan

i totally wiped out at the beach today. i was chasing jim, ran into the water, stepped in a hole and did a belly flop! it didn't hurt, though, and was actually quite fun. it was funny, though, because calvin did the same thing, but he flipped on his back! i love the beach. i will hopefully be able to go 1 or 2 times next week, too.

the vintage emporium

i love it when elderly people come into the store when im working. they are usually the more talkative people, and they have great stories! they all come in and say "i used to have this!" and then they will launch into a story about other things they used to own. one guy just came in and was telling me about his salsbury scooter, and about some famous singer, and about when he was 15.
