1st day of school

It's been a nice day. School was iffy. It was fun to see my friends but homework. Today we tried out for teams and I tried out for soccer. It was hot and longer than gym in the past so I am beat. Plus I walked home. As I was walking home with my friend I saw a Mr. softies truck. I had wanted to walk my usual way so I could get Starbucks but she didn't want to so when I saw the truck I conceded. I didn't feel like Ice cream so I bought a milkshake. It was overpriced, full of calories and not that good so I wasn't feeling especially good when I got home. I come home, my new keys have trouble opening the lock and the dogs leash is broken. At least I got a new skirt in the mail.

Not much to say

Today was another blissfully relaxing days I've been enjoying so much of. A guy came over so now both the internet and tv are working. I'm reading a new book and fast. When I was younger I read several books at a time until the late hours (mostly on weeknights) and with my penchant for rereading books (some I've read 20 times) I don't read many new books that I'm crazy about.
Today I was so surprised to see fallen leaves all over my block. They didn't wait to change color they just fell. It's scary that fall is closing in. I'm going school shopping tomorrow which only makes it worse. I am excited but not totally happy.

I don't know what you lovely readers do for summer but I spend a lot of it reading mags and staying home alone. I woke up and have been alone since then. I've gotta start planning things to do. otherwise I'll get bored. Central park mabes, babysitting, bike riding. I just finished Big Daddy (my fave Adam Sandler movie) which I hadn't seen in a while.
I didn't sleep a lot last night but got up early anyway and I'm not particularly hungry.
Gotta go turn up the air conditioner, Happy Summer!

Ahhh Summer!

Yesterday was one of the most unproductive days I've ever had. If only my English teacher could hear my grammar now. I did all my morning stuff at 8 and the only creative thing I did was start a puzzle. At around 9 I went to Texas Rotisserie and Grill for dinner. It was nice but it's not my favorite restaurant. It was D's idea, he loves he place. After we went to Barnes and Noble for like, 2 seconds to wait to see a movie. The movie was Year One and it was great. I don't love Jack Blacks acting style but it worked for this movie. Michael Cera, of course was amazing! The humor was suggestive but rarely vulgar and the whole audience was bursting with laughter the whole time. See it!
I got an itunes gift card from my grandma and use almost all of it this morning (afternoon?). I bought some songs and episodes (was their a rule about tv on your ipod at camp?) that I love but haven't watched yet cause I'm reading.
I got my last issue of Elle before camp! I haven't finished yet but I love the shirt Gwen Stefani wears on the cover.
Yesterday I came back from the movie and my ma bought out a new dress from ebay! I will never be able to ebay like that. It's gorgeous black velvet with a bow tie in the back. It needs to be tailored but a few at home adjustments and I can ear it to my ma's boyfriend's parents house for fathers day dinner.
Au revoir ma petites! Kisses to you all!

"Please just hear me out."*

Today I baked two types of the cupcakes for MY BIRTHDAY. I also bought Marie Claire because lately I haven't been able to go long without reading a magazine. In the afternoon we went with friends to Orchard Beach to collect crabs and other sea stuff. I was pretty squeamish but D got two really big ones, one missing a claw. We named those two Alien (1 claw) and Predator because they were fighting. We tried to get them fight but Alien jumped out of the bowl and another one did too so we put them away. I like Predator best.
Last night I watched Happy Texas with my Ma and friends. It was sooo good! For those of you who don't know it it's about 2 prison escapees who are mistaken for a gay couple helping out with the local pageant. A totally hilarious movie, just wonderful. The first line was a joke!
Well, Bye!
* See My Side-Jordan Sparks. Been listening to that song on repeat.

Finally it's June!...

...And you know what that means !!!!!!!!!! BIRTHDAYBIRTHDAYBIRTHDAYBIRTHDAYBIRTHDAYBIRTHDAYBIRTHDAYBIRTHDAY!
Plus presents! I love everything about June! Let me tell Junes assets.

• Sun
• Warmer weather
• No school
• Swimming
• Shopping
• Lazing
• Adventures/exploring New York
• I'm gonna learn to drive
• Flip flops
• Camp shopping
  
• MY BIRTHDAY
• PRESENTS

Gosh the list goes on and on...
But my absolute fav thing about June(other than MYBIRTHDAY) is time I get to do whatever I want! This is helpful 'cuz there's a lot I need to do(Sow my stuffed animals, watch movies etc.) Which brings me to one of my favorite Summer movies! Grease! The whole cast is terrific and the dance numbers are sooo well-choreographed. Although it takes place during the school year there aren't any Winter scenes so it's perfect for when you
aren't-quite-out-of-school-but-are-dying-to-be. It embodies post -school gladness. Have a wonderful first day of June!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baking etc.

Today I mad chocolate+butterscotch chip cookies and just made sandwiches for our outing to the Thimble Islands. Very fun though our oven mitts are dying. My moms says it will rain in Connecticut but I don't believe her. It's truly summer now! I've considered it Summer since Monday but the last few air-conditioned days prove it. Got a pedicure and gave myself a manicure so I'm feelin properly spoiled. Found this beautiful dress on modcloth for 114.99. *sigh* In my dreams. Been lovin polka dots and the silhouette of this dress is perfect.

Goodbye and have a fun weekend!

listening to: west side story and legally blonde.

Adios amigos!

end of school resolutioins

You know how every January 1/December 31 you make resolution for the year and forget them by April?To prevent myself from doing this I shorten the time span. That means almost every end and beginning of something I tell myself some stuff to do, do more and do less(i.e. end of school, beginning of school, beginning of camp). So today I'll tell you my goals for frm now to the beginning of camp.

1. Modify clothes (i.e. hemming and cutting sleeves)
2. Bike more often
3. Buy more stuff(i know this sounds odd in the middle of an economic crisis but I am lacking some serious things)
4. Make/buy a bib necklace
   
5. Find places for my jewelery
6. Be more creative with my outfits

Ttfn my friends:)

the beach!

Doesn't Grace look lovely? As Summer approaches I'm dying to go to the beach and sunbathe in a 1940s style( say this one) for a few hours. (The pic is via flicker, the photo is of Grace Kelly in the remake of The Philadelphia Story; High Society)
