Oh the stress of converging friend groups

Summer means no boundaries. No lame restrictions on who to talk to and more opportunities to meet new people. The closer school approaches the more fearful I am that none of my friends will accept my boyfriend and it will be a miserable experience. However for the first time I'm not worried about trying to impress them. I've spent my summer with him and I look forward to spending my fall, winter and spring with him.

So with the idea that summer is in it's last month of glory, I've been party planning. Gotta get in a few more bonfires, a few more crazy times, a few more memories.

Speaking of which, I now have company.

Adios.

All You Need Is A Coloring Book

Coloring makes all the bad stuff go away.

with a 24 pack of crayola crayons, a coloring book of your choice, and some great friends to share it with.

I'm planning on having a coloring party soon. Bring your own supplies...ipods...share music and color sounds might nice doesn't it?

I hung out with my mom today since it was one of her rare days off, and we colored. Her sesame street, Arthur for myself and we made a day of it.

After my dad got home we picked up Brandon and headed to la cross for the evening. Family outings are oh so adventurous when my parents are involved. They're not lame at all.

All in all it was a pretty good day.

Took some pictures...will have them up in a few days.

Also...I've been wondering people's favorite time of day.
comment with yours...I'll do something creative with the info : ]

Gotta Catch 'Em All

Wow! Where has the day gone? Nothing thrilling happened today unless you consider a rousing afternoon of Pokemon Stadium on the N64 an experience. After I sat around all morning and most of the afternoon to nothing constructive, I got a call from a friend to do something active. So after a quick shower, I strapped on the rollerblades for a few rounds of gossip and exercise. The evening consisted of nothing more than shopping with my parents and playing phone tag with my boyfriend. I did acquire a new digital camera tonight so look forward to some interesting shots in the near future. Hopefully tomorrow will be a more productive day.

Already planning on meeting up with the friends bright and early, going to lunch with a girlfriend, and tanning.

Life is good.

Comfy Style

Not much time to spend, so I'll make this short and sweet.

I spent today in a cool outfit with two very cool people doing extremely cool things.

Pro-I found a new way to do my hair

Con-My boyfriend picked up one of my old habits...

peace.

Glory to God for Fun in the Sun

I truly love going to church. I don't go because my parents make me or I feel obligated for any reason. I just really do enjoy the atmosphere. So this Sunday, like every Sunday the family was up and awake at around 8:30 whining for bathroom time and what music should be listened to. I've made due with our quaint one bathroom home by creating a wonderful vanity on the top floor outside my bedroom door. So I avoid the chaos as best as I can and only come down when it is time to get in the car.

I walk out my front door, Ipod in hand and the sight of Danjerr Presson walking really surprised me. I hadn't seen him in awhile so I walked up and asked what he was doing up and such an unusual hour for your average emo teenage boy. He informed me, that a lot had been on his mind, God included so he was on his way to church. Seeing as mine is the only one he'd ever been in, he looked up what time the service was and planned on attending. I was in shock, quite literally but I offered him a ride none the less.

After church it was time for another parade with my dad. Now him and I aren't always on the best terms one would say...but country music, small town parades, and driving down gravel roads are three joys we share. So we spend the summer road tripping to all sorts of random fairs and festivals for summer fun and parades. Last Night, mom and Brandon accompanied us to Wabasha for a family day but today it was back to the routine. A few pops, pretzels, country radio and the truck with just me and my dad. Houston had a great parade and really friendly people. It just made me realize more how much I really do love small towns.

Once back to Winona, I decided it was just too nice of a day not to go outside and be active. So after a wonderful phonecall from a friend I set off to rollerblade around the smaller half of lake winona. Now after 3 times around in the July heat, I figured it was time for a break. So I mosied on over to my boyfriend's home where we sat on the porch, drank really good water, and I watched him skateboard.

It's days like these...that I realize I am enjoying my days.

Only 1/3 of summer left, who knows what could happen. ; )

Repeative Nonsense

I often wonder why people repeat the same nonsense that troubled them in the first place? It just boggles my mind. No matter, it's none of my business so I'll just let it go.

Today the weather is so gloomy-it just gets to me. I mean we have 80 degree tanning days and then this no sun for the entire day The world is so fucked up.

Julia came over last night and we had plans to actually have a productive day. Get up by 9, visit Krystal and the baby, see the boys later in the day and eat dinner with my parents. Well things don't always happen like that do they. Sometimes, you get awakened at an ungodly time and you try to ignore it because you know you're parents said absolutely no in and out after 11. But you know that neither of you are the cold hearted so you go downstairs when you shouldn't. and it's still not enough because they still ask you to come out even though you already risked it by just walking down the stairs and opening the door...you just can't win.

You're always going to disappoint someone-you can choose whether it be you're family, you're best friend or a love affair. Someone's getting hurt. That's when priorities kick in : ]

I debate this in my head every minute of every fucking day. Yea it's great... throw in a boyfriend on top and it all gets more complicated. Yet I know it's worth it- from those text messages I get from her saying how fucking bored she is...to watching comedy central on a bigscreen tv for hours...to slumber parties that make you feel like your lives aren't falling apart. It really is worth it.

I promise... ; )

Advice From A Friend...

Casually chatting with an old friend the idea of creating a blog was mentioned. He had been writing one for quite awhile and suggested that I make one as well. I've noticed that there's so many things to be thought of that I want people to see but haven't had the time to share. So maybe this is it? We'll see how this blog idea turns out.
