new hair, new me.

life is splendid. i ate way more raisins than anyone should possibly consume in 24 hours. i played the sims 2 for the first time in forever. i made a sims family with 8 children and then proceeded to kick the eldest out to make room for more offspring. yesterday i got my hair cut. nothing too drastic, just 4 or 5 inches off and bangs again. yay! tomorrow is a 7:45 am doctors appointment to get the stitches out which is kind of funny because i didn't even remember that i had stitches in until i remembered the appointment. probably a trip to the library afterwards for some reading material. some packing and then we're headed off early saturday morning. 

lately i've been having this problem where i laugh so hard that i start crying and then i can't catch my breath. it's bad news bears if you ask me but apparently quite entertaining for sarah.

couscous with curry

Dinner tonight was couscous with curry, onions, and raisins. Tastyyyy

cooking

Apparently lately I've been in a cooking mood. Don't worry these did not all occur on the same night. First picture is pasta salad with avocados and tomatoes. Second is a pasta with peanut/honey/soy sauce/dressing, broccoli and those green bean things. And last but not least are the chocolate chip cookies that Sarah and I made last night! 

I've been searching around in the pantry, so we'll see what I come up with tonight. It's more of a fend for yourself-see what is in the pantry already kind of dinner so it could get quite interesting =) 

wings vs pens

my day did not begin until noon, it was fantastic.

watched the stanley cup final game tonight. wings unfortunately lost. apparently it's a very rare thing to lose a home game seven. that brings hockey season officially to an end. october 3rd is the beginning of RIT hockey season. woohoo, i think i can wait until then. it does seem a little silly to be watching a sport on ice when it's close to 85 outside.

tomorrow i'm doing some shenanigans with sarah in the morning and then alison's birthday party is in the afternoon. that about wraps up my splendidly long list of activities for this weekend. i did get around to doing a little bit of painting today in my sketchbook which was nice. i forgot how much i just like doodling whatever-- i haven't had any lecture classes in the past month to get my doodling fix in ;)

falling apart

don't worry, i'm in one piece despite the title of this post :) everything is quite lovely actually i just thought i'd share this song which has an unusually spectacular beginning. its also worth checking out some of his other songs if you have the time.

grumbly tummy

my tummy is a tad grumbly. 

last night i slept over at alison's, jimmy was walking like a pathetic drunk because of all of the meds the vet gave him. 

we also watched two full movies which never happens. ever.

we went to giant around 10 in the thunder and rain and bought some delicious cookie dough which we actually baked unlike the usual raw consumption. 

my room is fantastically clean and organized now it kind of makes me want to dance around a little. 

there is only one day left in this week but guess what? it doesn't matter because it's SUMMER and time means nothing. 

just thought you should know. 

sisterly love

time passing

where is the summer going? 

you'd think my schedule was as busy as it was during the school year by the way the days are passing. fortunately, it isn't busy at all and sleeping until 11 fits in perfectly. i've got a surprisingly long to-do list for there being no classes or anything else. it's nice though because nothing has a timeline so i can wander around in my pajamas and get some work done at my leisure :) 

went to the doctors yesterday to get another mole out-- that would be number 6 for anyone who is counting. alison and I made cookies last night and she seemed to think it would be a good idea if we stuffed a raisin in the place where the mole was. luckily she exercised some self-control so there is only a band-aid there for now. 

the rest of the week doesn't look too busy. need to get to the bookstore at some point to check out this 1200 page book i need for next quarter (seriously-- can you even begin to imagine how heavy that must be? it's hardcover). probably going in to visit river hill tomorrow afternoon because it didn't work out last time i tried. saturday is alison's birthday party. a week from saturday we're leaving for joel's wedding which is the beginning of our two week road trip-- that will be good for blog posts ;) 

Yee Haw!

Drove up to New Jersey Friday after Sarah and dad got home, it was a bit of a rainy trip but we made it there eventually. Grandpa & Frances had flown up from Georgia. We had a tasty dinner with TONS of food :) Saturday morning, woke up and ate scones before heading off to see Eric perform his principle role!! The show was excellent and we had amazing seats which made it even better. Good job Eric, you made sleech proud :)

"self picture"

cousins!

village center shenanigans

i'm sort of failing miserably at updating my blog. i think this tends to happen a lot when i get home because i'm so distracted and i figure that most everyone who reads it is here anyway. but then again alison and i were talking the other day about something that happened last year and neither one of us could remember what the heck had happened...so we read the blog :) 

we've been having pretty much a week long sleepover. most of my day consists of waking up, checking email, working on whatever design thing is currently needed, talking to people and then alison comes over, we hang out and the whole day is repeated. of course, there is other stuff thrown in so don't worry i do manage to make it out of the house everyday between visiting river hill, picnics at centennial park, walking jimmy, going to the gym, going to work with my dad, etc. tomorrow we're leaving after sarah gets out of school to drive up to new jersey to see eric dance! 

the other night sarah and i went to the village center to meet up with sarah and liz for a bit. shenanigans occurred. 

this was the most normal of the pictures

and this should pretty much sum up everything else that happened... 

awww.. cute... 

jimmy's park adventure

yesterday morning alison and I took jimmy to centennial park for a picnic/dog walking adventure. it was so nice and sunny out. jimmy has an apparent fear of other people so walking on a path with bunches of other people was quite a large task. he seemed to do well and we eventually made it all the way around. had peanut butter and jelly, watermelon and brownies for lunch :)
