So after much anticpation, my going away party / scavenger hunt / judging at Suzy and Sonny's has come to pass.  The sisters and I have long had trouble celebrating with friends and family for our birthday because 4th of july weekend tends to be kind of busy for most people.  And as you recall we were at the Kozinsky spa and resort.  However, we ( Read more... )

Many have recently scoffed at how all my stories begin with "I heard on NPR. . ."  but mock away, because this is how I found out about Joss Whedon's musical.

After lounging and eating at the Kozinsky spa and resort for a few days, my father and I went on an adventure into northern georgia.  I had boxes to drop off in Athens, so that gave us a chance to eat a late lunch at the Grit, and Dad very bravely ordered the vegetarian "sausage" gravy with his biscuits and liked it.  Still one of my favorites but ( Read more... )

man, we had fun.  Though there were still the boring moments in which my sisters lay in the sun and wondered why i wasn't having a great time sitting with them.  But we also managed to be relatively active.  We played badminton and golf and raced the dogs up and down the hallway.  I made everyone play Taboo which only gets better when you drink.  ( Read more... )

I'm 45 out of a 100, not so bad.  Feel free to ignore this, but I was trapped in my bedroom and had great fun filling this one out.

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.

3) Underline the books you LOVE ( Read more... )

Since big vacation plans will not be included in this summer of sandwich, I took a holiday with my sister in her chateau in Chattanooga (notice the importance of vocabulary, children, sounds delightful doesn't it?)After teasing me with the promise of banana bread again, Meg made me coffee instead and a piece of a bagel. She wisely gave me a time ( Read more... )

Um, okay, there's not much to say about life right now; the days kind of run together. However, these are some highlights from the past week. First of all I am two for two on successfully rockin' craft nights! We made pasta art and drank, and my friends again proved their artistic merit.

Okay, I don't mean to complain, but summer has started for me and I'm working longer hours than I did during school. It's only for this week; the friend who got me the job as Sandwich shop girl [wink] is on vacation. that's why she had to train me right away, and that means I'm making sandwiches at 8:30 and getting off work at 6:00 to go water ( Read more... )

I officially don't work der no more. Grades are in with minimal whining, but what does it matter? It's not like they can call me. MWAHHHAHAHA. Everyone was really nice at the end: lunch, gift card, nice words written inside card. It's what I enjoy most about leaving places: people feel really motivated to spend time with you ( Read more... )
