hello august.

i haven't blogged in forever. oops. i am still alive and kickin though. rest assured. ever have those times in your life when you just really need to get back to "you"? i felt like i fell so far from the tree of "normal-me". for a few months i was in a rut. i've since climbed out. [phew!]

i'm jumping on the bandwagon and am going to say "is it really august, already?!" but really. the summer flew by and i still havent used any of my limited vaca days! i am working on a camping trip though for sometime real soon. i want nothing more than to wake up, go sit by the lake, drink some coffee and not move. i so badly want to go to Mac. Island but that is a very doubtful trip given i have no one that can escape with me. most of my friends have already used their vaca days or are financially strained [which, lets be honest, i dont really need to drop a ton of money i dont have either...derr].

so a camping trip is under way. cross your fingers it actually happens.

last week was so busy i couldnt even fathom it. i was home only to sleep - i think. friday i did laundry and got groceries... yes i am 24. how lame. but i crashed, i mean literally, i couldnt move. i was so super tired. then i hung out at my friend B's pool saturday for like 3 hours straight. got fried like you wouldnt believe.  that helped with the whole not-being-tired deal. [not].

last thursday i was a complete mess though. i couldnt pull it together. split things, ripped my shirt [still a mystery], ah... i just dont want to get into it all. so i was grateful for the weekend and not doing a thing.

this week, hallelujah, i made it through thursday with only 1 coffee spill and no torn clothes [to my knowledge]. however, today i did get a fight with a permenant marker. [that was fun]. i was working on a project at work. 1 foam board, 1 perm. marker and 1 ruler. doesnt sound dangerous but my hands are just a disaster. it was quite the debacle... let me tell you! i saved my foam board from marker stains and used some WD40 on my hands. jeepers.

this weekend is jazz fest in the booming city of Lansing. i will be in attendance [i hope]. friday i will be hanging out with some friends at the lake. which will be nice. my mind is so overworked. [boo hoo]. sometimes i wish i had a drill sergeant just floating on my left shoulder so i would actually go to the gym and would actually stay motivated and focused when all i feel like doing is crawling in bed and sleeping away this weird exhaustion.

last night i slept like a rock. literally. i slept through all 3 of my alarms. it felt like a saturday morning. it was great. if it wasnt for the impatient car that slammed on its horn outside my apt. i would have been SUPER late. i woke up at 6:55 for my 7:00am meeting. [lovely. late again.]. i made it to Panera Bread at about 20 after 7 which is pretty impressive if you ask me. i looked like i was sleep walking but whatever. [details, details...psh posh].

i am about to enjoy another hard sleep. i love LOVE LOVE this weather. its so perfect. i can hear the bugs outside too. which makes it seem like home. [i miss the country more and more each day].

la ta di da... hello august.
