catching up

Wow.. it’s been awhile.  A good, long while. So many things have changed, reversed, shifted since I last wrote. Good things and bad things. Mostly good though (I’m a lucky girl). I won’t even try to get into the details at this point. Not only is that a daunting task and it’s 2am so I’m [...]

modern-day sexism

A word of advice: if you are a female and are in need of a service of some kind (car repair, internet hookup, CELL PHONE), make sure you have a guy with you. Until recently, I was fully convinced that in our day and age, women had a relatively equal place in society as men. [...]

the good life

Soo let me just say, California was UH-MAY-ZING. So much fun. We left town around 4am Sunday morning and arrived at San Clemente State Beach around 4:30pm that afternoon. On the way we stopped at In-N-Out for burgers, which was absolutely an essential part of the trip. When we got to the campsite, we set [...]

to do list

Tonight (well, technically tomorrow) at 3am, Katie, Sammie and I leave for San Diego! We’ve got a campsite right on the beach where we’ll stay for 4 nights. No boys, no agenda, no responsibilities – except to spend a day at Disneyland, which is hardly a responsibility. But in order to enjoy my time there, [...]

oh, the formalities of life

Today I bought a new Blackberry Pearl to replace my Katana. I say I bought it.. actually it was my dad who spent an hour on the phone with AT&T trying to reactivate one of the lines on his plan, and add a fourth line, and buy two new phones all in one call. You’d [...]

hiking, camping, and bbq’s

So William went back to Texas yesterday. I miss him already! But the next couple months will probably go by so quickly. Summers seem to do that for some reason. I had so much fun while he was here though! We hiked Hanging Lake (which was SO beautiful), saw a JUCO game, had a delicious [...]

it’s about time

So I finally made it to Colorado! I feel like the past couple weeks have gone by soo quickly, probably because of how busy I’ve been. But now that I’m finally here, I can actually relax and ENJOY my summer.
Moving out of the duplex was a nightmare. If I could avoid it, I’d never [...]

4 down, 2 to go!

Four more days of work and I’m home free for the summer! Today and tomorrow are study/veg out in front of the tv watching anthony bourdain days, and then my Russian oral is Monday and my Environmental Science Lab exam is Tuesday. Oh, and did I mention that while I’m downing Red Bulls and practicing [...]

ohhh finals

So it’s that time of year again. Can’t say I’m jumping up and down with joy about it. There’s just so much I’m looking forward to this summer that it’s hard to stay focused on school. I come to the library, I get all my stuff out and ready to study, and then I look [...]

i love my spurs. and date nights.

As promised, Lacey and I did take a few (ok a lot) of pictures from our date night. Most of them are exactly the same as every other picture we’ve ever taken – you know, the arm-stretch self-picture. But we were not going for professional quality here… just facebook worthy

In other news, the [...]
