Herro everybody!
I just got settled back into my apartment. It's kind of nice to be back, but I'm disappointed I didn't get to spend more time at home. Oh well.
Today was not extremely eventful. I packed up, my mom and I drove down to my grandma's house and packed up furniture my mom had claimed (my grandma's house just sold), and I came back to my apartment. I'm glad I got to spend time with my mom and my friends. I'll be happy to go back when I can.
Goodnight and I'll write you tomorrow,
Kt

Fruit Dip - Est. Time: FOREVER
Today (which I suppose is now yesterday considering the time) I went grocery shopping, put a check in my account (thanks, grandma, for supporting my education until the very end!), made fruit dip and chips (took forever to cut up all the fruit, but it ended up delicious!), and went to a friend's end of school party. It was a good day. I just wish I was tired so I could enjoy tomorrow just as much!
My computer just shut it self down due to a low battery, so after plugging it in and rebooting I'm kind of tired.
Write you tomorrow,

A Time Capsule Of The Car Crash Into My House
Hello, hello, hello!
I am currently sitting at home watching some t.v...
...wait. Did I say home?
YES! I'M HOME! :D!
Yesterday I made a quick decision to go home for a couple of days. I threw myself together and ran out the door because weather.com could not make up their mind when a storm was coming. When I checked the radar after I finished most of my packing it seemed the storm was coming, oh, I don't know, now. So I flew out the door and headed home. It was actually a pretty nice drive too! I listed to the radio and when the stations fizzled out I listened to my iPod. I really do need to pull off the Christmas music though. I often skipped Greensleeves and My Rusty Chevrolet (which, if you don't know that Christmas song you should check it out! I'm a sucker for joke/parody songs. Especially during Christmas).
So, I got home, threw my things down, and changed my clothes (it was FREEZING!) so I could hang out with a friend! Before I headed over to their house, I went to check up on construction going on with my own house. Oh, have I not mentioned that? Well, to make a long story short - a car drove through my house. Not all the way through, just through the front door, into the coat closet, and ended up in the garage. They weren't drunk, they were underage. It's all a big mess, but there are a lot of positives to it as well. We wanted to redo that front room anyway, the layout of the closet always bugged my mom, and, hey, had they drove their car in two inches to the right our whole house would have collapsed. At least no one was hurt, not even the drivers or our cats. It's all good.
Well, this happened I think two months ago. We've had to take some time to move boxes out, but construction finally started last Thursday so it's no wonder how excited my mom was when she called me on Friday to exclaim her excitement about a new front door, new siding, and a new garage door! So, naturally, when I got home I wanted to see everything for myself! The front of the house looks great so far and there's a wall and the outlines of a closet in the works! Kind of silly to get excited about those things, but when your house has been boarded up for two months it's amazing to see progress in the way of a new home!
Well, I did eventually go to my friend's house, haha. We looked through some cookbooks and recipes online because we need to bring a dish to a party our friend is throwing tonight. I didn't get a chance to spend a lot of time with her - although I think her cat and dog will miss me the most since they couldn't stop rubbing (cat) or jumping (dog) on me. My mom called and wanted me to head home to tape an episode of The Big Bang Theory. "Okay, okay, mom. I'll do it."
Well, we ended up eating dinner and watching the end of The Big Bang Theory before we headed out together to look at the house one more time. I apparently had not seen the floor and paint samples my mom had laid out and she wanted my opinion on them. We really looked at them and ended up changing most of them - Sorry, mom! What she chose would have worked fine, butI decided I we decided we liked a different flooring so the scheme changed a bit. After that and looking around at what was happening in construction land, I noticed something in the corner of a different room. A time capsule! From when I was in elementary school! I had dated it to not be opened until my birthday in 2011! This year!!! I remember looking at that time capsule in my room a few years after I made it thinking, "I know what's in there. It's going to be no fun to open", but now I honestly don't remember what's in there and I'm excited to find out! I'm bringing it back with me to school so I can open it on my birthday! I think I'll make a new one after I open it so I can open one 10 years from now.
Wait. What if I made one to open at every one of my birthdays? One that showed exactly what my birthday was like the year before? Or a letter about what I did on my birthday and how the past year was? Oooo! I think that would be so much fun! All my excitement for my time capsule is urging me to do something every year so I can be equally as excited!
After all that fun excitement, my mom and I went grocery shopping, came home, and went to sleep. Now I need to do some fun things today and not waste this time spent at home! So, off I go!
I'll write you again either tonight or tomorrow, when I'm back at my un-air-conditioned apartment...

Peanut Butter Wheat Thin Time!
Bonjourno everybody!
I'm currently snacking on Wheat Thins and peanut butter. Not really a snack I would eat, even as a kid, but it sounded so. good. I have a feeling that it's not making much a difference of having reduced fat Wheat Thins right now... Okay, putting away the peanut butter.
I didn't eat a very bit dinner tonight so I was a tad munchy after my class ended. I think a few more Wheat Thins should hit the spot.
Today wasn't extremely eventful. I did some more dishes, wrote an essay for a scholarship reevaluation form, read for class, talked to a bunch of people on the phone, oh! and got a job! I applied for three jobs about four weeks ago. One person really was up for hiring me, but I was waiting to hear back from the other two places (mainly one over the other). Unfortunately, even though I called, they never got back to me. I contacted the person willing to hire me in the first place and they still have positions available. It's going to make my summer a bit busier, but at least I'll be getting paid! Whew!
Tonight I looked over some of my old posts. I really liked the ones where I truly talked about how I was feeling or how my day went. It makes me want to write longer posts! I know this one wasn't very long, but maybe I'll be in the mood for it tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll [see] ya, tomorrow!"

The Red Sushi
Yesterday I washed dishes, turned in some forms for class, returned our recycling, ate sushi, and watched a movie - The Red Shoes. Oh, and our air conditioner broke. Thank goodness for maintenance - we'll be getting a new one soon.
A hopefully not-to-toasty day,

Busy Bee
Yesterday was oh-ho-so busy. I got my oil topped off, picked up my Huey Lewis tickets, ate at one of my favorite restaurants (Lone Star Steakhouse - mmmmm :D), got a couple things at Ulta with a coupon, visited my grandma, had my voice lesson, picked up a book for class, and took one of my summer roommates grocery shopping. Whew! No surprise I easy fell asleep last night.
Here's to a less busy, but not lazy day,

Swing, Swing, Swing
Good evening everyone!
I just took a walk! It was the perfect weather for it - not too breezy, not too warm, but just right. After I returned the Tangled DVD I decided that I should get myself outside and moving since I hadn't really been out of the apartment until then. I grabbed my iPod, key, and phone and set out for the sidewalk. We have a really large sidewalk that can lead to many different parks. I walked toward one on a hill that had a swing set and swung. I didn't swing for very long, but two of my favorite songs played on my iPod as I swung - Before The Earth Was Round by Ok Go and Don't Rain on my Parade performed by Rachel from Glee. I basked in the beauty that was around me - things I don't really notice from day to day. Birds flying to and fro, the billowing clouds in the sky, the air beside me flowing through my hair as I swing up and down, forward and backward. Ah...
Sadly, that will probably be my last serene, childhood moment for a while. Now I've got grown up work to do.
Write you tomorrow,
