afternoon dip

I am loving summer with not much to do. Its the first summer since my junior year to not have 40+ hours of work a week. That summer I had to quit my nannying job because I broke my hand, and could do very few things by myself.
But I am loving having free, lazy afternoons to spend by the pool with a magazine and a drink.

birthday weekend

It was Jeff's 21st birthday this weekend. He had the day off so I went down to see him. I got to see camp, where he has spent the last 15 summers. I'm glad I got to see it, its like his version of my ocean city. I am glad we both got to share that with each other.
We went paddle boarding, sailing (I was the mermaid and sailed head first into all the waves), we went to the movies, ate popcorn and junior mints, and had a fun birthday party for him! It was good, I missed him so much. It was nice to see him again, kiss him again, and be in his arms again.

I have so much fun with him. I feel like even our usual movies dates are as fun as 100 bunnies. Especially when we go to a movie theatre where we can put up the arm rests and snuggle, and with popcorn and candy. SUCH a treat!

i get to see boyfriend today

I still get so very very excited to see Jeff. Especially when I haven't seen him in a while, like today, but also during the year just to run into him on campus or have him come over. Today I woke up and started singing and dancing to my song of "I get to see boyfriend today". I was just jumping with anticipation today to see him.

I still try hard to look my best if I haven't seen him in a while. I brush my teeth, wear nice clothes, make sure my hair is nice, give myself a facial and pedicure. I know I don't have to impress him, and he still loves me and thinks I am pretty even when he has seen me, sick, sad, cranky, unshowered, after a workout, tired, stressed, mad, and lazy. But I still like to wow him.

five things

I was busy this week with school and a bit of a scare with Robbie. His tummy stopped from too much fur in it, and he got hypothermia. Poor little one, we got his system going again. And he is back to his rascally self now. Thankfully I have all the meds to cover any emergency they have, and know what to do better than the vets.

I drove up to Frisco to get some more med from the bunny lady, in case we had another emergency. I stopped at whole foods for groceries and IN-N-Out for a grilled cheese, fries, and a chocolate shake. Now that Dallas has In-N-Out one of the few reasons that kept me going back to cali is gone.



I found some gorgeous rings on etsy. Once I feel like I've saved enough money....I just keep spending....I'll get the earrings and a ring for myself. To bad I can't make them myself. Etsy has been so helpful in jewelry class. We made earrings, two rings, and a bracelet this week.






I made myself a delicious pancake breakfast this morning as a reward for all my hard work. I spent from 2-11 in the art building yesterday.




I pulled the car over on mine and Erica's way home from church and ran out to pick some wild sunflowers. I got enough for the both of us. My bunch is keeping me happy on my nightstand. This morning I rolled over and the sun came in through my windows and hit the sunflowers. =)



The last thing is really two things. I am very happy to have gotten our playpen which is the new bun cage. Its so much bigger than their old one, its got enough room so they can chase each other, and stretch. I don't feel so bad leaving them in it all day. And we are all happy robbie is feeling better.

five things

Finding these earrings on etsy. My mom had a similar pair but in pink and she lost one. They are fake, but have been my favorite all my life. I want to buy them, once I feel like I have saved some money. Well really I found a few VERY nice things.


Erica is home and is watching 500 days with me. It's not the same at night without her.


My nice looking chain link bracelet that I MADE.. good job me.


The new cave litter box that the whole family loves! Robbie is in the picture you just can't see him. And Buddy is trying to steal a blueberry out of Rob's mouth.


Oreo Truffles....Katie made them for me. Darn her...I am addicted, it's all I've been eating all day. Erica said "no one likes anything as much as you like those truffles."

my room

I love moving. WHy? I think it's because I get to decorate it and organize it. But Especially after last year, it became the one place that was totally safe in our apartment. I also have been dying to have a huge room my whole life. This year is the first year I get that, and a tv in my room...something I never was allowed before. I love it. Its huge, I can relax on my bed or couch, the bunnies have tons of room to run around.

not so hot

the past two morning rides to school have been a little cooler. It's been nice. Maybe a little bit more humid, but cooler and less sweaty in general. Its a nice way to start the morning, a huge delicious breakfast and a short, cool ride to school.

right now we are having a pretty crazy thunderstorm. And seeing as I grew up in California where the attitude towards rain was like what the heck, everything slow down or stop its raining! Texas storms sort of scare me. Earthquakes, no problem, but thunder storms are not my cup of tea. I love the lightening, but the thunder is scary. I like them best when Jeff and I are snuggled up watching them. We had our first real kiss the night of a big storm. It was very romantic.
