ah, the fruits of the day!

it was a very fruitful day of shopping, actually! (although later on i figured i *could* have gotten those shorts at ON... dang. oh well)
i ended up getting a pair of jeans, a green top, a navy/cream 3/4-length sweater top, and some cool PEACE earrings. very nice. oh, plus a strawberry smoothie at coldstone... mmm, delish! i was tempted by a pair of gold gladiators, but i opted for the shirt instead, as i've been simply dying to find one! so i'm quite happy with the day. although i didn't run... and i probably won't make it peach mountains tomorrow morning. :( (not!)
well i'm off for chicken pour diner, ainsi au revoir mes amies!

it's raining, it's pouring... but who's snoring?

just because it's raining doesn't mean the day has to be a complete waste of sitting around watching british comedy quiz shows... *cough cough* even though that is an acceptable way of spending a saturday morning, especially if the show in question is QI.
anyway, today has turned out to be another dreary sort of day, and i'm not wasting it! (in a few hours i won't be, anyway. i'm watching QI now.) i'll be off shopping for the beginnings of my back-to-school fall wardrobe with C and M at green oak. preferably i'd be going to 12 oaks, but it's close enough.
more on that to come.

drizzly,

all the live long day

yeah, that's how long i was at the ann arbor art fair today... it was fabulous. we got sunburned tho, and reeeeally hot & sweaty, but we found this cool little free trade shop and got sarongs and pashminas really cheap! they're pretty schveet. i felt pretty faint at one point though, it was SO hot.
sooo yeah. pretty tired now... still catching up on sleep from the COLORADO trip.

nights,

~ r

not long...

since it's late and raining and i'm going to the AA Art Fair tomorrow! (well, today)

anyways, obviously i'm back from colorado... more on that later, maybe. if i get around to it. (it was fun... painful and strenuous at points, but fun hiking and excellent views!)

run @ erika's today... much chalk drawing afterwards. then talking to a & j till about... now on gmail. woot woot.

catch y'all later,

~ r

the morning after

haha, not what you're thinking. but OW yeah my boobs hurt. for no apparent reason, i guess.

anyways, today was basically filled with lots of noise in the form of, in approximate order:
the kids across the street (9 a.m.)
the trucks at the parade
the beeping at the registers at kroger
the highway sounds
the jets at the air show (WHOOOOSH very loud! also i got sunburned on one side mostly, which is just oodles of fun.)
fireworks
bottle rockets
the cat meowing a lot
sirens as i type this
and soon, me snoring (or not... i don't snore, but you get the point) as i sleep. mmm.

oh, i didn't make it to the party at S's today... hmm. too bad.

zzz-ily and patriotically yours,

~ r

just a quick pop-in

yeah, it's midnight. 12:12, to be precise. and?? it's the
FOURTH of JULY
and i can stay up however late i want!!! haha. thank you summer!

~ r

not long...

there's a storm coming, so this'll have to be a quickie. not that kind of quickie, perv. get your mind out of the gutter.
not much new has happened... C's moved the date of her party (again - indecisive much??) so now i am unable to attend. sigh. guess it won't be much of a party. ;)
seriously.
i've been working on the ol' six-string lately, feeling a bit musical.
oops, lightning, gotta run - drive, actually, and rescue mi padre from the hail. ciao!

~ r

it's later...

...and i'm super bored. waiting for M to call and hang out, even though it's about 50 degrees outside.

in the middle of june.

*shrug* in michigan. alrighty then. moving on.

now i'm undecided whether to go to the bbq or concert. time for a
PRO-CON LIST!!! (sort of)
CONCERT
- music (but idk if i like it... haven't really heard it)
- annie, daivd, etc... (PHS people)
- more hyper and awake-ish
BBQ
- low-level energy (maybe?)
- meg, cait & zach (so more appropriate conversation... more laid-back)(maybe)
- food :)
- pool?

yeah, it's not much of a pro/con list... more just a comparison list. oh well. at this point i'm thinking bbq... but IDK. oy vey.

undecidedly yours,

~ r

hear ye, hear ye... there's a concert tonite!

...and i'm going!!! so be there.
deets: here

K's party:
fun. sausage game. mall scavenger hunt (ehh). shopping at 12 Oaks mall = fabulous. new fave mall. new fave store: forever21 :)

$$ PURCHASES $$
blue summer dress - aeropostale
GIANT white leather purse - f21

too much junk food was consumed, but it was delicioso. movies were watched (made of honor and the notebook) and laughing was... laughed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

running this morning: slow. sooo terribly slow. and i don't know why (neither does A. it continues to stump us both). N was there, and in front of my. my left shin, ankle & knee are all DEAD. ag. i'm definitely hoping as the summer progresses, so does my speed. lol :P

well, C's graduation party is on sunday. there's a flurry of cleaning and general preparation-ness going on, so i can't be much longer on here. and i still need to do abs, shower, and snuggle into my sweats.

until later,

There was once a great woman who had a great idea.

She went to post it on her blog, knowing it would astound the world.

Then she promptly forgot.

And had to go to bed soon, after doing her regimen of abdominal exercises, because she was getting up at 6:45 to go for a run with her cross country team.

Goodnight, moon! Goodnight, loon! Goodnight, (mon)soon! Goodnight, dune! Goodnight, noon!

Goodnight, all!

last day of school, first day of freedom

yes folks, it’s finally happened. the last few grueling hours of school have gone by and we’re now free to do as we please… pretty much, short of lighting the house on fire or staying up all night every night for two consecutive weeks.
haha, fun.
anyway, today was pretty fantastic. i got a 107% on my sci exam - excuse me, but
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*cough cough* sorry, just had to get that out of my system. also, apparently i also made it into wind ensemble… without trying out, per se. whatever. as long as i’m in. i just hope he doesn’t hear the CD and pull me out or something bad like that.

pool party = fun.
water polo = mass groping.
funky ratios of guys to girls = way too much fun to be legal.

;)

crankalicious (in a non-sexual way, mind you. just plain cranky).

grr. this color is how i feel, mixed with a bit of this.

aka, CRANKY.

REASONS:
1. weather (humid, hot)
2. NO RUNNING TODAY (grr!!! that's most of it, i think. that plus...)
3. MISSING CAMERA. (again. WHY must i be so absent-minded?!?)
4. dry skin
5. contacts
6. face cream (lack thereof)
7. school
8. hair not done yet
9. whole band/or not band thing. ag.

i'm sure there are more, i just can't think of any. i feel mad at myself, like i always do if i don't run. feeling like a *real* FWAM.

anyways... i should get ready to go to bed. looking for my camera at this point won't do much good... i mean, it's not like some guy is going to break in here, find my camera, steal *just that*, and leave.

unless it's a really bad day.
